June-DecisiOn of Imnortnnce.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Reconnaissance
of Pensions Evans has had a statement pre-
pared on the number of applications for
pensions filed since July, 1896. The COM
PARSONS show that in July, 1876, applications
for pensions aggregated 2S9S; while in June,
1897, there were O,169 largely for increases
and for widows and minor children. The
table shows the number of applications I'M
der the general law and under the act of
June q, $780, respectively, as follows:
lS96-July, 1850 and 103S; August 1929 and
2251; September, 1852 and 1,731 October,

May S753 and 12,039; June, IS 1853 and 220O1.
Commissioner Evans to-day attributed
this large increase Of claims to two reasons.
tie said the hard times had made many
men apply for pensions who had not pre-
viously needed them and the other reason
ne said. is the existence of a general feel
ing throughout The country that the claims
OF pensioners would be given more favor
aDie conSideratton by the present admins
tration than by the last. MANY soldiers"
ne stated, felt that the Democratic adj
mlnlStrat1On would not allow their pensions.
however just they might be- and in this
way thousands of applications were held
back until now. We are simply getting the
accumulation of long period, and the work
OF receiving these APPLICATIONS and filing
them away keep many clerks busy. ! be-
lieve the high-water mark of pensions has
been reached and that now the number of
applications will begin to decrease"
Assistant Secretary of the Interiar Web
ster Davis to-day rendered a favorable de-
clSlon In the pension case of the widow of
w. NICK. Winters, a veteran of Gilpins
battalion of Missouri Volunteers in the
Mexican war. There had been a long-stand-
ing question of whether or not members of
this organization, which was formed
primarily for Indian escort service along
the Santa F'e road. were entitled to Next
can service pensions. A search of the War
Department records showed that the vOlun-

Prince Henri's Duel.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

The unexpected has happened again.
Prince Henri of Orleans has fought his
much-advertised duel. and the encounter
did result in the infection of something
more serious than a scratch of the skin on
the descendant of Hugh Capet. But now
that the Count of Turin has avenged
Prince Henris Insult to his countrymen by
causing Bourbon blood to flow, it might not
be amiss to try TO find out what has really
been settled by this trial of issues by wager
of battle.
Perhaps the gravest charge made by
Prince Henri was that General Albertone,
at an entertainment given by King Menelik
to his Italian captiVes, toasted the Abys-
slnian monarch Now. has the Count of
Turin proved this assertion to be untrue by
giving Prince Henri two stabs in the Shout
der and puncturing his side? If not, what
gain has been made in the interest of truth
full history by the passage at arms? Be
cause the Count of Turin fiercely and fear
lcssly engaged an armed antagonist does it
follow that the Italian army in Abyssinia
was composed of q splendid array of Hec-
tors and Rolands, Prince Henris allega-
tons to the contrary Notwithstanding? Let
MS hope that Prince Henri will live and be
able to throw light upon those points.

PLANS FOR A COUP.
Alleged scheme of officials of the
United Mine Workers.


COLUMBUS. O., Aug. 19.-The officials of
the United Mine Workers have awakened
to a full realization of the fact that a crisis
is at hand in the great strike and are pre-
pairing for final effort. The proceedings
of the meeting of the national executive
board have been guarded with the greatest
secrecy, but enough has been learned to
indicate that plans are being laid for a
grand coup 1t was learned at midnight
from an official source that a resolution
was adopted by the national board provid-
ing for the calling of a conference of all
federated unions at st. Louis Aug 80. The
purpose is to secure the cooperation of all
these organizations. They will be asked
not merely for sympathy, but to join in the
great strike. The plan is to tie up traffic
on the railroads and in other channels of
business so that the supply of coal may be
effectually cut off ard thus force the opera
tors to negotiate for a general settlement
Of the wage question. Failing in this the
miners officials do not intimate what
course will be taken.
