THE PENSION EXPENDITURES.
About STAT. SOC, 900 to Be Expended Among
Soldiers and Dependents. This Year.

Washington. Sept. 17.-Commissioner
Evans of the pension bureau. said. today.
that he thought it would be necessary
this year to ask Congress for deficiency
appropriation on account of pensions. He
said:
Il estimate that the total payments for
the year will not exceed STAT 500. 00c. and
the appropriation for the year Sal 263. $50.
If there should be an unexpected falling
off in the revenues, the pension payments
might be curtailed toward the end of the
year, although l don't think that is at all
likely
The increased pension payments. he
said. would be due chiefly to the fact that
there are about 100000 old claims pending
which it is the intention of the bureau to
adjudicate as rapidly as possible. The
claims allowed probably would call for
something like $5.0O0.000. There also had
been a remarkable increase in the num-
Der of new pension applications and these
would largely increase expenditures.
In answer to the suggestion that there
might be a deficit in the treasury at the
end of the hscal year. the commissioner
said that he had examined into the mat
ter somewhat and was of the opinion that
there would be sufficient increase in the
revenues before the year was over, to
prevent a deficiency.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt has been making an in
vestigation into the reports that the
battleship Indiana was seriously in
jured in docking. Today, he said on
the point: t
1.-THE elaborate. statements as to the
injuries of the Indiana due to her dock
ing at Halifax were reiterated with
such Enthusiastically that I finally
stelegraphed to find out whether there
was any basis for them, and found
there was not. si 81 tt,ls n
IT was aboard the Indiana the other
day and talked with her captain and
she was in excellent trim. I should be

gone wrong since and nothing has gone
wrong excepting defect in one gun,

ing until the return of the expert sent

".The injury sustained in the dock
at Halifax consisted in the slight
.buckling of some of the plates, no.
where amounting to an inch and half.
So trivial was it that it did not cause
the tiniest leak. 1t is the kind of an
accident, If 1t can be called an accident,
that is sustained continually by heavy
ships, men-of-war or merchant men in
docking. That it does not impair the
ships efficiency in the least would be
evident to any one who has ceen the
Indiana at sea. "saatF ~ q a

A SAD. SAD ACCIDENT.
Drunken Father at Fort Kent. Falls on and
Kills Little Daughter.

Fort Kent. Sept. IA most dis
tressing accident has occurred in this
village. Dedime Daigle, who lives a
short distance out of town on the st.
Francis road came into the village and
proceeded to deliberately load on tn"
white rum that is a popular beverage
with some of the gentle Acadian peas
ants on the st. John Daigle's 7-years-
old daughter was with her father dur
ing the day and on several occasions
the father sent the little girl to one Of
the liquor shops for new supply of the
diluted alcohol.
When Daigle started for his home at
nightfall he was in limp and wobbly
condition and could barely sit on the
seat of his cart. When we'll out on the
ST. Francis road he attempted to race
with a team that passed him, regard
less of his own safety or that of his
child.
All at once the cart struck a rock and
Daigle was pitched violently to the
ground. carrying the child with him. He
had been holding her in his arms. The
man fell heavily upon the little girl. one
of his elbows striking her violently in the
chest. She died in a few moments with
out recovering consciousness. Father
and child were hauled home together
Daigle intoxicated and stunned by his
fall his little victim bruised and dead at
his side.
'rhe scene was too much for the poor
wife and mother and she was seized with
violent Mysteries from which she suffered
;i'rlng two whole days. and only by great
effort did the neighbors prevent her from
killing herself. She is still in critical
condition and her grief is heart-rcnding
Daigle is utterly broken down and has
been to the priest and forsworn liquor for
all the rest of his life.
The affair has excited the Acadian COM
munity as nothing has done for years.
ana there has been Il loud demand that
all the rum shops along the river near
Fort I>ent be closed and kept closed. The
liquor sellers have been demoralizing the
community for weeks and have been ply
ing their trade with especially brazen dis
regard of all decency.

buying has diminished in amount and
though while the number of orders re-
ceived are still large and amount is
smaller The demand is still very good
for the season and prices are firm
throughout with some further ad-
vancas. Actual business in buying of
wool by mills is increasing at all mark
kets with the belief that foreign sup
plies are short.
Failures for the week have been 2O4
in the United States against 317 last
year and 40 in Canada against 80 last

Canadian business continues to i'm

west than at the east. ST. John re-
ports better business in dry goods and
hardware and pretty good retail trade
At Halifax business is fairly good in
most lines with a hopeful feeling. The
fruit crop is small, but prices higher
than last year, while the low price of
fish continued with the volume of bust
ness not disappearing at Quebec and
collections are very fair. Montreal re-
ports Il growing feeling of confidence

with better collections and money in
ample supply. AT Toronto wholesalers
are doing an active business and trade
is larger than for several years with.
payments good. Victoria reports
