THEFT IN THE PENSION ROLL.

New York, Dec, 2G.- an ar
ticIe which occupies the whole first
page OF the Sun this morning it is
stated that the nation is being
robbed on a gigantic scale by PEN
sion frauds
The rolls, it is stated, are pad
ded almost beyond belief
There are more pensioners, 1t is
alleged than survivors, Abusing
the countrys bounty are deser-
ters, fake widows and orphans and
cheats and swindlers Of all classes
The Sun shows by government
reports that there are 727 100 sur
yivors OF the civil war now living,
including widows,
The total Of pensioners on the
account Of the war Of the rebel
lion is according TO the report OF
the pension commissioners, 9lhoE
Of which G5, 500 are children, and
1859 are dependant fathers,
mothers, sisters or brothers,
Deductng these from the total
there remain aGi,l survivors
and widows drawing pensions, or
lO,7l5 more "suryiyors' and "wid-
ows" than there are actual sur
yiyors and widows who under the
circumstances could legally draw
pensions,
The Sun puts the blame on shy"
stcr lawyers reckless legislation
and to swiuders who turn to the
pension business as one Offering
easy pro0t.

Joe Cox who was convicted at the

well nigh unto death. The wife OF
Cox went to Little Rock and PIE

CRUISER BOSTON,
Accompanied by the Gunboat Petrel
 Leaves Manila for China.

Manila October 5.-The United States steamer Boston and the gunboat Petrel accompanied by the collier Nero, have gone to China.
 Owing to protests and petitions from merchants of Manila, General Otis has postponed the operation of the new GUS toms and traffic regulations until November 1. The general has concluded that the pro- posed schedule can be consistently applied to the small section of the Philippines now occupied by the American forces. In the meantime the existing duty will be applied with the exception of merchandise purchased in the Spanish dominions since April 25, which will receive the treatment similar to that applied to the goods of neu- tral nations.

Defeated Popu|ist Hogan by Over
 10000 Votes.
ALDERMAN ]. G. WOODWARD
Chosen as the Democratic Nominee for Mayor of Atlanta-His Majority
 Will Not Exceed 6O0-Du-
 .Bignon Issues Statement.

Atlanta, October 5.-Georgia voted today for governor, full ticket of state house oncers and for a constitutional amend ment providing that judges and solicitors be elected by the people.
 Hon. Allen D. Candler, democratic nomi- nee for governor, was elected over Hogan, populist, by not less than 10000 majority, this being more than double the democratic majority for governor two years ago. The constitutional amendment is adopted.
 lion. Fleming G. Dubignon, chairman of lne state democratic committee, gave the following statement to the Associated Press tonight:
 approximately 7O,O0O votes. There have been no great surprises in this election. Nearly two-thirds of the counties which were carried by the populists two years ago have been reclaimed by the democratic party and the next legislature will be a practically unanimous body. I feel confi- uent that 1t is the last fight the popuists will ever make in Georgia.
 '"There has been no friction whatever in the management of the campaign and nothing has occurred which could possibly excite censure The whole fight has been made upon a high plane and the only ap- peals made have been to the reason and judgment of the voters.
 1.-Two years ago the majority for the dem- ocratic nominee for governor was only 34,- 900. Several counties which were carried by the populists two years ago have been redeemed. While people of Georgia are now practically united in politics, and it means that. Georgia will return solid demo- cratic delegation to congress" In Atlanta Alderman James J. Woodward was chosen as the democratic nominee for mayor over Hon. w. E. Martin. The cam- paign has been very spirited, and Wood- wards majority is but 600. Todays contest is an election, as no other ticket will be placed in the field. The Australian ballot was used for the first time in the primary with great success.

 ed in Regard to Competency.

Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tenn, October 5.-The resignations of nine negro officers of the Sixth Virginia regiment were this morning forwarded to Washington through proper channels.

Hill, J. A. Stephens, Edward Gould and Peter Shep- pard, Jr., and Leuts. s. B. Randolph, Georoge T. Wright and David Wordell.

AGONCILLO TO
 LEAVE WASHINGTON
Has Concluded His Mission at
 the American Capital.
THE FILIPINO REPUBLIC
National Assembly Elects Arallano Sec retary of fState-Important Devel- opment in the Government
 Agoncillo Of to Paris.

Washington, October 1.-The Philippine Washington tomorrow, having concluded their mission here. They go to New York, where they take steamer Saturday morn ing for Havre and thence to Paris, where they will seek to place the interests and desires of the Filipinos before the Spanish American peace commission.
 MT. Agoncillo said tonight that he had received a dispatch from his government stating that the national assembly had elected as its chairman pr. Paterno and as its secretary of state Dr. Arallano.
 MT. Agonclo regarded the selection of the secretary of state as an interesting and important development as he said it show ed how thoroughly organized the legislative and executive branches of the new govern ment are. With a secretary of state, the Philippine government is now in a position to deal with the outside world MT. Agon- cillo said his stay in Washington had been satisfactory. During the day he made calls on all the cabinet officers, and also left his card at the residence of Vice President CT Reed He had wished to talk with mem- bers of the senate and house, feeling that they might have considerable to do in the solution of the Philippine problem. MT. Agoncillo says he will seek to get a hear ing before the Paris commissions. and if this is accorded him he will point out the futility of continuing Spanish rule in any part of the Philippine group, and the ca pacity of the Filipinos to conduct their own affairs, as shown by the thorough or ganizatin of their national assembly.
