FOREIGN PENSION CLAIMS.
Distinction against Them Has Been
Declared Illegal.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Davis has laid down an important ruling,
relating to claimants for pensions resid-
ing in foreign countries.
Under instructions in the Pension
Bureau. issued last November, medical
examinations of claimants residing in
foreign countries have not been permit
ted. and the adjudication of such claims
has been suspended.
In view of the fact that Congress had,
by special legislation, provided means
for executing declarations by claimsnts
residing abroad, and for their medical
examination, il was held that there was
no authority OF law for making this dis
tincfion- It was, therefore directed that
all orders or instructions which, in effect,
suspend, or prevent prompt adjudica-
ton of claims filed by non-residents shall
be revoked and that. in this respect,
there shall be no distinction between
claims filed by those who reside in this
country and those who reside in foreign
countries.
This ruling has been approved by Sec
rotary Bliss.

MONUMENT TO LAFAYETTE.
school Children VIII Donate PEN
MES 10 raise the Fund.


President Mckinley viii soon issue
proclamation designating date of the
near future, presumably October l9, as
Lafayette Day TO be generally observed
throughout the country
The governors of States and superin-
tendents of public instruction will be
asked TO participate and lend their CO.
oneration in doing reverence TO the mem
ory of the man whose fidelity to freedom
is consecrated in American hearts.
On the date which will probably be
named for the holiday. which is the ami
versary for the surrender of Cornwaliis
at Yorktown, historical exercises will be
held in the schools of the country and
a nominal admission fee charged. The
money thus raised will be used to erect
a $3.50 900 monument to Lafayette at the
Paris exposition.
The idea of having the public school
children pay such tribute originated
with Robert ]. Thompson and Ferdinand
W. Peck, of Chicago. the latter commits
sioner general to the Paris exposition. He
thinks that millions of pennies can thus
be collected, and with 100000 schools and
%, 600. 600 young patriots it is believed that
more than enough can be realized to erect
a monument that will be the pride of the
two continents. Secretary Gage has been
asked to act as custodian of the fund
and he has signiffed his Willingness TO do
all he can to make the enterprise ma
tional success.
Robert j. Thompson, of Mr.. Peck 5
staff. has been in Washington arranging
the details of the undertaking. and has
| now returned to Chicago to perfect them.
| While here Mr.. Thompson conferred with
| the President and received the prompt
| concurrence of the latter in the plans ne
| submitted.
| Mr.. Thompson has also been to Paris.
| where the enterprise received the enthu-
| siastic approval of the managers of the
| exposition, and as soon as the designs
| for the monument have been submitted to
| him. which will be some time this week
/ he will make preparations for his depart
| ure to Paris, sailing on September g.
| The managers of the exposition have
! promised in the event of the erection of
the monument to have the municipal
! guard of Paris. 100000 strong. participate
| in the dedication. A civil and military
| parade will also be held.
| While here Mr.. Thompson described the
plan of organization which will be fol-
| lowed. There will be memorial commits
| sion of which President Mckinley will
| be the honorary head. The governors OF
| the respective States and territories will
| be honorary vice presidents. There will
| be an advisory board composed of the
State superintendent of public instruc-
ton. The commission will consist of sew
en- persons, to be named by the commits
sioner general, and he has practically
| agreed upon the following: Edward Ev-
| erett Hale, of Massachusetts; Lyman j
Gage, of Illinois; Prof. w. I. Harris. Of

With the news Of the murder Of Lincoln there

The ofice of the Tribune, Of course, received

in Washington.
Gay read the article, and asked the foreman if
he had any private place where be could lock up
the type, to which but himself had access.
The foreman said he had. Gay bade him tie up
the type, lock the galley with this article in his
cupboard, and tell what he had told him.

| jubilee would be recognition of both the
progress made by the country and of his
| satisfaction at the early conclusion of
| the war with Spain.
| The exposition committee has secured
