their money at home and not

All we ask of you is to

DELAWARE GOLD MINERS.
Company Formed Mt Wilmington tO
Go to Yukon District.

Compnny Formed Mt Wilmington to
Go to Yukon District.
A special to the Philadelphia Press from
Wilmington Del, says:
It was announced this morning that the
Yukon Mining, Trading and Transporter
ton Company of Wilmington. Del, had en-
gaged Professor William A. Pratt of Della
ware College to go to the Yukon district
for the purpose of furnishing plans for the
new railroad which the company intends
to build to open the gold district.
Professor Pratt. in addition to being the
professor of electrical engineering at Della
ware College, is the president of the street
and sewer department of Wilmington and
is an expert engineer. He was formerly one
of the leading engineers of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company.
He will return in September with an ex-
haustive report on the road which 1t is
proposed to build. and If his report is ia
vorable, work will be at once commenced
On account of the concessions received
from the British Columbian parliament, 1t
will cost the company nothing for the right
of the way of the railroad, and in addition
to this it will receive valuable grants of
public lands. The company will have Pro-
fessor Pratt plan the road which 1t Is in
tended to build, and 1t is likely that he will
have general direction of the work IL the
report which he makes Is favorable to COM
mencing operations at once.

WASTING CLERKS TIME,
Many Congressional Inquiries as t.
the Stntus of Pension Claimn.


There is no greater waste in the admini.,-
tration of the government than that which
Is forced upon the pension office and con-
tinued from year to year by congressman
who insist upon making that branch of the
government service subservient to their
political ambitions.
Since the present administration came
into power fully one-fourth or 400 clerks
in the pension office, have been continu-
ously engaged in answering what are
known as congressional calls These
calls are no less than requests on the part
status of pension claims of their constitu-
ents. Every congressman. as a rule, keeps
a list of pensioners living in his district
of men w&o desire pensions, and every
three months he writes to the commits
sioner of pensions asking to know the
status cf these cases. This correspondence
develops the fact that the claimer has this
important backing, and in large propor-
tion of the cases the claimants with such
backing have their cases made special"
1t would not be so bad If but one con-
gresham inquired of the status of a claim
1t frequently happens that an energetic
claimant, in order to push his interests
will bring his case before a dozen or fifteen
representatives and senators, and these
dozen or fifteen congressman will each
write at stated intervals to know how the
case is getting on.
The commissioner Of pensions has no
power to prevent senators and representa-
tives from sending him these calls The
calls must be answered. The result is that

Evening star., 1897-07-27

one fourth of the force In the pension offio e,
which could be engaged upon lhe adjIlica-
ton of claims, Is kept at work giving in
formation regarding the status of these
claims For a month or two during the
earlier part Of the administration nearly
the entire force of the bureau was engaged
upon this work in an endeavOr to get the
calls up to date.
1t is an easy matter to calculate tie eX-
penSe TO the government of this procedure
Four hundred clerks, with salaries avcra2
ing 81 per Gay, cost the government fully
100000 a year. This enormous waste can
not be prevented by the commissioner OF
pensions. 1t is waste for the reason that
the calls do not advance the adjudication
of pension claims a whole though they
may be of advantage in individual cases.
This condition is in no wise peculiar to
the present administration. 1t is but
repitition of the condition that existed in
the past and all previous adAninistra tions.
This matter may lie brought before the
next session of Congress in such a way as
to demand attention. If a congressional
Investigation was turned upon the pension
office the facts regarding this matter would
appear appalling. and If there is an earn
est desire for reform In the administration
Of the government that reform car be
secured by a paragraph in the bin appro-
priating money for pensions, and a saving
to the government of at least 100000 per
annum.
