END OF A WAR OFFICE DISPUTE.
Authority of the Inspector Generals
Department Enlarged

Brig. Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, Inspector
General of the Army, has at last succeeded
in securing from the War Department reg
ulations prescribing strictly the scope and
nature of the duties of the Inspector Cen
erals Department When the war with
Spain began the regulations were changed
to such an extent as to limit the scope and
duties of inspectors general and when
General Breckenridge was before the Alger
Relief Commission he charged that his
department had been practically 'emascu
lated" Since the close of the war there
have been at different times orders issued,
which have to some extent restricted the
service of this department. More recently
there was opposition to the inspection by
inspectors general of the transport service,
but General Breckinridge insisted that il
was within the authority of his department
to inspect all branches of the service. This
matter has been under consideration for
several weeks, and it is nov decided that
General Breckenridge is entitled to au-
thority for the inspection of transports be-
fore their departure from this country. An
order was prepared yesterday amending the
Army regulations with reference to the
Inspector Generals Department. The eff
feet of the new regulations will be to bring
the Inspector Generals Department in
closer touch with the Secretary OF War
But at the same time its powers are ex-
tended and more clearly defined than has
been the case In the past

NO TRUTH IN IT.
Miss Barton Not To Retire From the
Red Cross Presidency.


report was in circulation yesterday that
the health OF Miss Clara Barton, President
of the American Red Cross Society. had
become so bad that she would have TO give
up the management of that organization
The report was widely circulated.
A Times reporter called at the home of
Miss Barton, in Glen Echo last night and
learned that there was absolutely no foun-
dation for it. Miss Barton is at present in
Brooklyn. looking after the affairs of the
society. but E. Z. Balcom, the financial
secretary, was at home, and he made a
vigorous denial of the report.
We are in constant communication with
Miss Barton, and / know that she does not
contemplate such a move" Mr.. Balloon
said. 'She is now doing some of the best
work Of her life in connection with her
position as president of the society, and
all reports that she is TO retire from active
management OF its affairs are groundless
We have read in the newspapers that she
was in i'll health but she has not said
anything regarding such state TO us. As
said before, We are in constant communi-
cation with her, and / believe she would
have mentioned it had her health been i'm
paired. She is not the most robust per-
son in the society, but you can say for
us, and / think the fact will be verified by
future Developments that Miss Barton is
enjoying as good health today as she has
for some time past, and is as active and as
earnest in her work for the society as she
ever was"
Miss Barton, while at present engaged
in transacting business for the society in
Brooklyn, is enjoying at the same time a
brief rest from the cares of her position

Secretary Long issued an order yesterday
designating the responsibility of the va
rious bureaus for electrical appliances on

PRACTICAL REWARD OF MERIT.
The Pension System of the Penn
syIyania Railroad Company.

syIyania Railroad Company.
A prominent official of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company stated yesterday that
after several years consideration a con-
clusion has practically been reached as to
the creation of pension and superannua-
tion fund for the benefit of the employees
of the company. 1t is understood that
seventy years has been fixed upon as the
age for compulsory retirement, and that
employees who have been in the service
thirty years, but have not attained that
age. will be entitled to the benefits OF the
fund upon report of the committee which
will have the administration of the fund.
The pension allowance will be based upon
length of service and the average wages
received by the employe during such ser
vice.
1t is estimated il will require payment
by the company Of about 100000, per
annum to make the fund effective.
The preliminary arrangements are now
being made SO that at the meeting in the
fall definite action may be taken by the
board and the fund put in operation.
This fund will not interfere at all with
the employees relief fund, but will work in
entire harmony Herewith, and the regula-
tions governing the fund Will be 1naily
shaped through conferences between the
executive officers of the company, the gen
eraI manager, the comptroller, and the ad-
visory committee of the relief department.
The creation of this fund adds another
to the many advantages enjoyed by the
employees of the company. as it practically
provides pension for those whose long
and faithful service entities them to this
consideration

when Alderman Michael w. Brick, OF
Ward Democrat), spoke against an ap-
preparation for his entertainment by ;he
city. He did not think the aldermen
should throw themselves into a 1T of
adulation just because he Dewey won

in the class with Sherman and Grant. An
attempt was being made, he said. to make
Dewey a second Boulanger, and that he
was simply being used to bolster up a
