A LETTER FROM GEN. MATToCKs

A LEIIEh Z NUN OEIN. MA AOOAO'
Brigadier General Charles P. Mattocks
was evidently much pleased with the
magnificent equestrian trappings sent
to him by the ladies OF Bosworth Relief
corps of this city. The saddle, it will be
remem bered, attracted comfortable atten-
ton when it was on exhibition in this
city. The following is copy OF letter
received by Mrs. Sawyer recently:
Chickamauga Park,
August 20, 1898.
Mrs. Arthur M. Sawyer, Bosworth Re-
lief Corps, Portland, Me-:
MY Dear Madam:
I beg to extend through you to the Bos-
worth Relief Corps, my sincere thanks for
the elegant set OF horse equipments pre-
sented to me by your association. 1t gives
me pleasure to state that these equip
ments surpass in beauty all others mere,
but 1 prize the gilt even more on account
of the donors than for it's quality. trust
there may be nothing in my military SER

your associates have. manifested toward
me.
Very sincerely yours,

The question of Canada's taking the
British West Indies into the confederation
is under discussion in the provinces.
Says the Halifax Chronicle: 1.-The an
nexation of the West India islands would
give Canada one thing she lacks-political
and commercial control Of rich tropical
territory, capable of a high degree OF de.
velopment and capable, under improved
conditions, OF contributing materially to
our national development. Moreover,
there is little doubt that the mother
country would look with considerable
degree of favor on the naturalization of
a scheme which would relieve her Of a
good deal of responsibility and her states
men of no little anxiety. Is Canada
ready to relieve imperial statesmen of
this responsibility and anxiety and un-
dertake the task of governing large
number of isolated communities so re-
mote from her shoress Why notP Will it
pay? The business men of the maritime
provinces could probably answer that
question" Evidently the annexation
fever is spreading.

BROOKLYN'S FIRST CITIZEN.


Saratoga, N. Y, September SD. S.
T. Stranahan, Brooklyns First Citi-
zen,'' who was stricken with apoplexy on
Tuesday, died today at ~ Is p. m.
Mr. Stranahan descended from Scotch.
Irish ancestry, his great grandfather.
James, having emigrated to this country
in 1725, when he settled in Rhode Island,
afterwards removing to Connecticut
James S. T. Stranahan was born in
Peterboro, Madison county. N. Y, April
25, 1903 He was brought up farmers
boy, attended the district school for a
year and then began the study of civil
engineering.
In 1887 he was elected to represent his
county on the Wing ticket, although the
district was s>rongly Democratic. In
1910 he removed to Newark, N. j., where
he embarked in several railroad enter.
prises and four years later went to Brook.
Ign, where he has resided ever since. MI
Stranahan saw the possibilities Of thu
water front of South Brooklyn and set or
foot movement which resulted in the
development of the Atlantic dock system.
He was sent to Congress in 1854 and in
1857 WAS made commissioner of police
under the old metropolitan system. In
1860 and 1864 he was delegate to the
National Republican conventions which
placed Abraham Lincoln in nomilatior
for the first and second terms. He was
also elected at large in 1888, when Benja.
min Harrison WAS elected President
During the civil war he was president
of the war fund committee of Brooklyn.

According to London correspon dent
the real instigator of the Cars peace
proposal was @ ueen Victoria of England.
According to this correspondent Lord
Salisbury hav ing failed to make any
Roadway in the negotiations with Russia
about China because the Queen had for
hidden him to threaten any action which
might possibly lead to war rendered to
the Queen his resignation. The Queen
refused to accept it, assuring him that
she had the fullest confidence In him, and
asking If she could do anything to help
along the negotiations. Lord Salisbury
is reported to have replied that she might
bring her influence to bear in the cause
of peace. Acting upon this suggestion
the Queen made personal appeal to the
Gear through his mother, the Empress
Dowager. The Gear received 1t with en-
thu iasln, and the result was his proposal
foi a peace conference.

The Iowa Republicans come out not
only fiat footed for the gold standard, the
soundness Of which they soy the ex-
Ierience Of the past two years has estab
lished, but also recognized The
necessity of comprehensive and enlight,
ened currency legislation" Here is
another piece of evidence that the free
silver craze has largely exhausted itself
in the West. Two years ago the silver
sentiment was so general and so strong
that the Republicans felt obliged to
handle tn. currency question very
gingerly. This year in every state where
a convention has been held the declaration
on the.currency has been clear, explicit,
and uncompromising adherence to the
gold standard.

STILL GROWING.
The Pension Roll Increases as the Years
Go By.

Washington. September 3.-The annual
report of Hon. II. Clay Evans, commits
sioner of pensions, was today made pub
lie. The appendix containing tables
showing comparisons in pension pay
ments. etc., will be issued later. The
commissioner says that the roll Is not
only increasing in numbers but in value.
1t is believed it will increase from the
war of the rebellion as there probably
are 200, 900 ex-Union soldiers living who
have never had pensions and 1t will In
crease in amount naturally, by reason OF
increasing disabilities as provided by
Inv. The amounts paid out at the sever
al agencies for the year on account OF
pensiops under the general laws was $780,
a75. 1888, and on accounG of pc nsions un.
der act of june 81, 1890, $3.50, 255,o The
number of pensioners in foreign countries
at the close of the fiscal year was 4.S7l,
having increased 300, and the total
amonnt paid to pensioners abroad was
1869. 1852. Commissioner Evans says there
ia a lack OF system in the established
practice of this department in securing
the necessary information for dropping,
from other causes, pensioners living IN
foreign countries as the bureau has no
supervision or criminal jurisdiction over
such pensionesr. There we're II survivors
and gil widows of the Indian wars and
4e survivors and 500 widows of the Next
can war pensioned during the year.
There are surviving five widows and
seven daughters of the American revoiu-
tion. One survivor (dsad) payable to his
widow and several widows of the war OF
1879 were pensioned during the year just
closed.
Pension claims pending June 30, 1898,
numbered 635. o5s. The commissioners is
confident that there are not over $4,000 OF
these (invalids and widows) that are gen.
uine original claims. The other cases Ere
where the claimants are already PEN
stoned.
The special examination division has
done good work during the year, having
endeavored to do justice to all claimants
and many just claims have been ad-
mitted that would otherwise have been re-
iected. There is much complaint among
pensioners, says the commissioners, and
very Just cause for such, by reason Of the
lack of uniformity of ratings for the same
or like disabilities of different claimants.
This complaint has always existed and
always will with our present system and
established practice, he declares, and 1T
cannot be remedied without radical
changes of system.
