PEN SION CLAIMS REFERRED.

Washington, November 21.-Assistant
handed down a large number of decisions
IN some of which the action of the pen
sion bureau was confirmed and in some
reversed. Two cases which have been
pending for number of years were acted
upon and rejected. Had they been al
lowed the back pensions would have
amounted to more than $50, 900. One was
that of Charles G. Short, late OF Company
d, 2lst New York infantry, who enlisted
May s, 1861 and was mustered out Noyem-
Der %, 1861. His claim was for locomo-
tor ataxia, which he alleged rendered him
helpless and which he alleged to have con-
traoted in the line of service. Assistant
Secretary Davis says there is no evidence
that he suffered from the alleged trouble
in the service.
In the other case the claimant, George
Brenizer, late Company "A, 10th Ohio in
fantry, is already pensioned at $50 per
month, for total inability to perform
manual labor by reason of a gunshot
wound of the skull and resulting paraly-
sis. He filed a claim for increase to S72
per month on background that he required
the constant aid and attention of another
person. The department. holds that it has
been shown that the claimant is not In
need of even frequent and periodical aid
and the attendance of another person
within the meaning OF the act of July,

PORTLAND NOT IN 1T.
With the Exception of the Energetic
Allen.

Lewiston, November 27.-Lewiston Won
from Portland tonight in loose, but
lively game, the home team making a
record in the second period of three
goals in SIS seconds. The Portlands are
decidedly not in it with Lewiston with
the exception of the goal tender, Allen,
who is wonder. For the larger part OF
the first period Allen played the game
practically alone, having 20 stops in that
period. The Lewistons played a fine
passing game, the work of Furbush and
larrant being especially worthy OF
praise. Walton of the home team, was
injured in the first part of the third
period and was obliged to retire, Jason
taking his place and playing fair game.
The score:
Observation-Disclosures, Walton and Jason,
rushers; Fitzgerald, centre; .Furbush,
half back, White, goal.
Portland-Lincoln, Curtis, rushers;
Turnbull, centre; Jordan, Whipple, half
backs; lien, goal.

BANK STATEMENT A PUZZLE.

New York, November 27.-The Fin
ancler says: The changes in the totals
shown by the bank statement for the
week are connected entirely with the
transfer of Union Pacific funds to the
several depository banks and do not in
the least reflect the advance business
conditions which are generally associated
with heavy loan or deposit increases
The statement does not balance. but one
item which affords clue to the real
position of the different institutions is
found in the gain of 49, 1888, 700 cash
during the week. The flow of money
to this centre from the interior during
, she week has exceeded the outward
movement by at least two million dollars.
The increase of ::s16, 744, 100 in deposits,
is accounted for by the check given by
the Union Pacific reorganization com
lnittee to the National City bank and
by it distributed pro rata among the
different depository institutions. Adding
the actual gain in cash from the interi-
or movement to the Union Pacific fund,
the deposit item APP ears approximate
ly correct. The gain of over two mil
lions reported by the Western National
is due evidently to the absorption of the
business of the United States national
which it has purchased. The result of
the weeks business has been to swell
the deposit item Of the statement to fig
ures never before approached. The pres
ent deposits are SIT, 0Oo,0 in excess of
the highest total achieved on September
IL last. The great expansion of S14 ,O97,-
400 in loans is feature of the statement
that cannot be satisfactorily accounted
for. The statement makes it appear that
profitable use has been found within
three days for nearly all the money re-
oeived from the Union Pacific committee.
The known conditions of the market
do not warrant this assumption. The
conclusion is inevitable that the expan-
sion is involved in some technical meth
DDS Of averages.

DREYFUs AND ORLEANS.
Some Glowing Statement from the E killed
Duke.

Paris, November 27.-The Duke of
Orleans has written letter to friend,
Col Parseval, in reference to the Dreyfus
affair in which he says:
81 eanuot restrain cry of indignation
when l catch the echo of fresh scandals
from the shame of which it has not been
possible to spare my country. Until now
the army of France has been inviolable.
Can 1 forget the height to which it was
brought by its kings, aided by its glori-
Gus soldiers who fought to complete the
grand work of French unity?
Never have the hardships of exile
seemed SO cruel as when I see myself
forced to remain a powerless spectator
to insults cast upon the glorious army
Those who have not made an energetic
use of her power will bear heavy re-
sponsibility in the eyes of the country
and in history.
"For my part, 1 venture to say, shall
always find in the consciousness of my
duty and the power of monarchial insti-
buttons the necessary strength to fittingly
protect the honor of the soldiers of
France"
According to the Intransigeant, Col.
Piqourt, who was summoned from Tunis
to Paris in connection with the Dreyfus
affair, and whose statements are report
ed to be the basis of the accusations
brought against CoInte Ferdinand Ester
hazy has been sentenced to 80 days de-
tention in fortress.
Gen. Pellieux, who was appointed by
General Saussier, the military governor
of Paris, to conduct the investigation of
the charges brought against Comte
Esterhazy, has completed his inquiries,
the result of which will be announced on
Tuesday next by Gen. Billot, the minis
ter of war. The journal asserts that the
inquiry will result in the exculpation of
the Comte. The Figaro says that Gen.
Pellieux today seized letters written by
the Comte to several persons, in which
the writer insults and violently attacks
the heads of the French army.

MEDICs FRIGHTENED INDIANS.

Columbus. Ohio, November 27.-The
Carlisle Indian football team was treated
to surprise today by the eleven repre-
senting the Ohio Medical University. 1t
was cold and the field was covered with
mud. The Medical university did not
expect to score against the Indians. The
Indians, however, were put on their met
tie from the start by the aggressive play
of the Ohio men and the contest was fast
and exciting. The HMedics" carried the
ball twice over the Carlisle line. Prob
ably the greatest feature of the game was
the 6S-yard run of Cayou of the Indian
team, for touchdown. Both touchdowns
scored by the Medios were made by SUI
perior play. The final score was 20 to
IL, in favor of the Indians, the Carlisle
men missing two goals.

of the local interscholastjc football league,
and the English High school team OF
Boston, champions of the New England
interscholastic football league, met here

however, took brace in the second half
and the way they went through the
tackle and guard for gains of 10 to SO
yards at time was marvellous. The
score at the finish stood Brooklyn High,
10; English High, 6. The followers OF
the local team were SO jubilant after the
game that they marched to the top OF
the grandstand, pulled down the English
High schools handsome silk flag, which
