Large crowds greeted the soldiers to-
day, excursions from Parkersburg,
Point Pleasant, Huntington, Athens,nn
Corning, Ohio, coming in early. The
strong winds that have prevailed for the
past twenty-four hours dried up the
fiat plain on which the boys are camp
ed and the bright sunshine Of to-day
put them In fine condition for drill and
duty. Devotional services were held at
IL o'clock and were attended by hun
drcds from Charleston and elsewhere.
The officers tents were filled with
friends the entire day. Colonel Spill

Grnntedn Pension.
Some months ago Senator Eltins' at
tentlon was directed to the claim OF
Jonathan H. Lockwood, late lieutenant
colonel, Seventh West Virginia Infan-
try. which had been pending in the
pension office for, seven or eight years.
The claim presented many difficulties
and 1t seemed at the time almost i'm
possible to overcome them. However,
after a very careful examination OF the
papers filled and finding what was re-
CURED TO establish the legality OF the
claim. evidence was secured amply suf-
ficient to have the case re-opened, after
repeated reflections. Even then some
technicality stood in the way OF n fav-
orable adjudication by the commission
er of pensions. An appeal was taken
and the case sent again to the field by
order OF the secretary of the interior.
Even after the additional evidence from
the field examination was secured, the
case was again rejected by the commits
sioner. Another appeal was taken. and
1t will be gratifying to the members OF
the Grand Army and other who know
Colonel Lockwood and his services to
the country. to learn that the assistant
secretary OF the interior. Hon. Webster
Davis, has. after a most minute cXami-
nation OF the case. decided to reverse
the finding Of the commissioner and al
low the. claim.
During Mr.. Elkins' term in the sem
ate he has succeeded in having adjudl-
Gated q larger number of claims. at the
same time aggregating a larger amount
OF money, than anv other senator dur
ing the same period. His efforts In be-
half Of the old soldier are untiring. He
never loses an opportunity of serving
them individually or collectively, both
in the pension office and in other ways
affecting thelr welfare, which in itself
Is an evidence of his activity In this
connection.

With equal positiveness 1t can be
said that 1t is the earnest wish Of the
President that Secretary Alger should
remain with him throughout his ad-
ministration. The President and the
secretary OF war are in thorough accord
and the latter has no thought OF resign
ing. He Is pushing the army end OF the
war movement with energy and efec-
tiveness and Is performing his duties in
telligently, periodically and to the EN-
tire satisfaction OF the President,w whose
unqualified confidence he enjoys. Based
on the fact that the secretary's health
was impaired last winter by an attack
of the grip, rumors have been circula-
ted persistently Of his retirement from
the cabinet The positive statement
that these are baseless is therefore au-
thorized to put them to rest.
