WAR ON PENSION
ATTORNEYS
Commissioner Evans Says They
Caused the Stuffing Of
the Rolls.
Believes That the Government Should
Deal Directly With Deserving
Veterans.
specia. Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK, Dec 30.-A Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Com
missioner of Pensions Evans is wag-
ing war of determination on dishon-
est pension attorneys, to whom he at
tributes principally all the padding Of
the pension rolls with fraudulent cases
He is considering a recommendation
TO Congress of the passage of Il bill
abolishing the pension attorney system
entirely, and providing that govern
ment officials shall act as ATTORNEYS
and look after the interests of all
claimants for pensions. Speaking of
the matter to-day Commissioner Evans
said:
Senator Pritchard expressed the Sit
uation very forcibly in a recent inter
view, in which he admitted there is
considerable skullduggery in this pen
sion business, and expressed a belief
that the government would do better
in dealing directly with the veteran
and not through attorneys. Look at
the advantages of such an arrange
ment. First Of all under supervision
OF the government the liability to
frauds would be reduced TO a minimum
We would have direct control of attor-
neys, whose business it would be TO
see that all honest claims were prompt
ly and intelligently presented. If one
of these attorneys failed to do his duty
or was found incompetent il would be
an easy matter to remove him, then il
would be great saving to the govern
ment which-just think of it-has maid
out S13, SOC, 900 in the past thirteen wears

THE ISLAND OF HAIKAN
WAS PROBABLY OCCUPIED
BY THE FRENCH ADMIRAL.
0eRiafs OF the Story from Ronqkonq and
TOn9uin Are Not Taken Seriously
at LONDON.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Daily Mail
has received kilograms from Hongkong
and from Tonquin denying the report
Of French occupation of the island of
Hainan, but it regards it as morally
certain that Hainan was occupied
about a fortnight ago, when Port Ar
thur was occupied by the Russians
the coincidence forcing the suspicion
that France and Russia are acting in
concert.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Singapore, dated Thursday, saws: The
news that the French had occupied
the island of Hainan was brought here
from Saigon Capital of French Cochin
China) on Tuesday by the French
mailbOat Ernest Simon. Before the
latter left Saigon, on the 25th,
French cruiser arrived there with
either Admiral Bedoliere or letters
from him to the French Governor of
Saigon The Ernest Simon was de-
layed for an hour at Saigon in order
to take the Governors dispatch relat
ing to the hosting of the flag on the
island of Hainan to the French Gov
ernor.
The cause of the delay was known
only to a few officers on board the Err
nest Simon. but inadvertently the
secret was impaired to French Off
Ger here (Singapore), who, not being
bound to secrecy, let the matter out.
1t is believed the French hold the tele-
graph office at Howkow and prevent
communication to Hongkong. The
cable between Haiphong (Tonquin)
and Saigon is broken and under re-
pair, and therefore it was impossible
for Admiral Bedoliere to telegraph the
news Of the seizure to Saigon.
Admiral Bedoliere, with the warships
Bayard and Descartes, left Hongkong
on December II. He called at Hal
phong on December IS and attended
the meeting of the defense committee
at Haiphong about that date, when
the seizure Of the island of Hainan
was decided upon.

RUSSLA'S STRONG HAND
CONTROLS THE DESTINiES
OF THE SON or HEAVEN.
The Sage Advice of Ii Hung Chang Sought
by China, but Even That Cannot
Save Her.

TACOMA, Dec. 30.-According to adj
vices received to-day per steamer Vic
toria, China's military department is
to have a Russian adviser, to be fol-
lowed by the employment of Russian
officers to drill the Chinese army. The
Japan Times is responsible for this
statement. Other papers say Russia
is already in possession of Manchuria
and is grasping for a large share of the
entire empire.
These statements, which facts seem
ingly bear out, are causing great I'M
easiness in Japan, and particularly be-
cause Russian is known to be acting
with the concurrence of France and
Germany, which, of course, will get
smaller pieces when the big pie is cut
Picking dispatches state that Russia
has taken a very bold stand there
By some it is surmised that she is
practically managing Chinas foreign
affairs. Russia is regarded as China's
first friend, and little of Importance
is done without consulting the Russian
Minister. Russia will loan China
needed money and will probably even
tually secure control of Chinese Gus
toms. China has granted Russia rail-
way franchises whereby the Man
churia railroad will be extended to or
near Picking. These grants include
police supervision of the territory on
both sides of the railways. Russia
has moved large number of troops
into Manchuria from Vladovistok and
the Siberian frontier, where she re-
Gently had 100,0 900 soldiers massed. and
is thereby occupying Chinas northern
province. These troops can be moved
into Korea or China proper.
China is more alarmed than ever be-
fore at Germany's aggression and
Russia's holiness. Additional troops
are being raised and the throne is
( being memorialized from all parts of
the empire. People of all ranks feel
that something must be done if China
is not to be dismembered at once.
Ii Hung Chang has come to the
front again at Picking. His advice is
sought by the Emperor and Inner
Council in this crisis, and his memorial
on military and naval defenses of the
empire has been taken up for consid-
Grafton. This memorial was prepared
on his return from Europe last year
and urges radical reforms Viceroy
Liu Kung, at Marking, has been in
structed from Picking to take irnme-
date measures for the defense of all
forts within his jurisdiction.
In Korea NJ. Alexieff is discharging
the customs force and will appoint 300
Russians to the Office. He transacts
his business at the Russian legation.
Russia's contract with Korea provides
that Alexieff's term of office shall be
indefinite and that a Russian shall
succeed him. He is accompanied by a
Russian official, who is having surveys
made for Russo Korean railroad.

JEWS ARE LOYAL TO
THE AMERICAN CAUSE.
Some Interesting Subjects Discussed at the
Second Days Session of the Ameri-
can Historical Society.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The chief pa
per read at the second days session of
the American Jewish Historical Soci-
etys meeting was by Leon Hummer, on
New York Jews in the Struggle for
American independence" Mr.. Hummer
said that larger proportion of Jews
were loyal to the American cause than
any other residents of the State; that
the Jews of re have for all time an
swered the question, Can Jews be Pa
triots?"
At the conclusion of Mr. Huhner's
address there was some discussion on
the paper Of President Oscar Straus,
read yesterday in reference to the ten
lost tribes. AS to the authority for the
belief that the American Indians were
the lost tribes, Dr. Cyrus Aller said
that Monteceinos was the first Jew to
originate the idea that the Indians
were descended from the lost tribes
DR.. Kohler says that whoever was the
first, he must have derived his view
from Christian sources. DR.. Leo Wei
ner of Harvard related some interest
ing folk stories from the German in re-
lation to the lost tribes, which he gath
cred during the last year.

Foley and Sisters Weep N
During the Argument
for the Defense.
The Accused Could Not Have
Been Benefited by the Muir
ders Alleged.
1t Is Believed the Second Trial WIN
Result, as Did the First, in a
Hung Jury.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LIBERTY, Mo, Dec. 30.-William Fo-
ley, on trial for killing his mother and
sister, wore a troubled look when he
entered the courtroom to-day, and as
evidence damaging to him was given
evinced the most intense interest. Dep
uty Sheriff Ed Cave told of a conversa-
ton had with Foley ON the night of the
murder, in which the defendant said
that Earl Hoover, who had formerly
worked for the Foleys as a farm hand,
was connected with the crime
Mrs. Minnie Carver, who talked to
Foley the following morning, said A
had asked her: WHO could have d, W
this thing? God knows and you krsl
1 never harmed any one"
The State concluded its direct teSS
timony during the afternoon. 1t is not
believed that the case presented by the
prosecution is materially stronger than
the evidence brought out on the first
trial, which resulted in a hung jury,
and it is freely predicted that this trial
will have a similar termination
Young Foley was in tears during the
greater part of the time occupied by
his attorney, Major Woodson, in adj
dressing the jury. His sisters, Mrs.
James Morrow and Amelia Foley, who
sat beside him, were also in tears. At
torney Woodson stated that he would
show that the relations between Foley
and his mother and sister were pleas
ant, and, speaking of the alleged mo-
tive of the crime, he stated that they
would prove that Foley had nothing to
gain through the death of his mother
and sister.
The youth was paid literally for his
labor on the farm he said, and in
numbered as the homestead was, the
young man knew that his interest in
the property would be materially les
sened through forced disposal of the
mortgaged homestead in the hands of
an administrator. BY the sale of the
property, since the murder, the estate
realized about $4,000.
Several witnesses for the defense
were examined. Their testimony was
principally to show that the time
of the murder must have been before 8
o'clock, the time claimed by the de-
Tense, and to show that pleasant rela-
lions existed between young Foley and
his mother and sister.

SUCCESSFUL RUN OF THE
WATS0NHjLLE SUGAR MILL.
Grinds More Beets and Gives Better Re-
suits Than Any Other Factory of the
Kind in America.

WATSONVILLE, Dec. 3e.--The 1897
campaign of the jacksonville Sugar
Factory, which closed last Saturday,
was not cut into by storms, and the
mill had most successful run, the av-
erage daily slicing of beets being the
highest ever shown by an American
beet mill. If the growing season had
been as favorable as the milling sea-
son, the factory would have shown a
record breaking year. AS it was, it
made the best campaign of all the Am
erican mills. handling the heaviest tom
mage and producing the most sugar.
Following are the official figures for
the season: Hours run, 24S3; tons of
beets sliced, 110,7S6; tons of sugar pro-
duced, 14,SSS; acres harvested, 10, 305;
yield per acre, 10% tons. The yield per
acre was low on account of an unfa-
vorable spring. The price paid for
beets was 81 per ton.

SALINAS CITY SEWER
DlGGERS STILL IDLE.
Strikers Determined TO Win and the Con-
tractor Equally St06born-Eforts
of Arbitration.

SALINAS, Dec. 30-The strike on
the city sewer remains in about the
same condition. There was a meet
ing this morning of the men
who quit work yesterday, at which
time resolution was passed
asking for an investigation of the
whole affair. The committee of five
appointed to confer with the contractor
will report tomorrow. The leader of
the strikers, ]. Conger, is urging the
men not to commit any act of violence.
and up to the present time no depre-
dations have been made. If a man
went to work to-day on a section the
unemployed would argue with him.
and without an exception every one
left the ditch. Contractor Heafey still
maintains that he is right, and that he
will not accede to the demands of the
strikers under any consideration.
