The announcement of the withdrawal
of the governments subventions to the
Cunard lines steamers, Lucania and
Campania, has created intense interest.
The withdrawal means heavy loss 10
the Cunard line, and also to the White
Star line, from which the subventions
are also to be Withdrawn. In fact, it
seems especially hard on the White Star
line, whose new monster steamer
Oceanic was built in compliance with
the British admiralty requirements.
The admiralty view of the case appears
to be that Great Britain is rapidly sell
ing her sailing tonnage and replacing
ii with steamships, which will have the
effect of combining ocean traffic to well
known routes, and that in the event Of
hostilities these routes would be still
further simplifed, so the problem of
commercial defence mainly concerns
the protection of the great oversee
routes. The admiralty proposes to ac-
complish this partly by sQuadrons on
convoy duty and partly .Jy flying squad
rons operating from bases Command
ing these routes. This view. however,
is criticised here and the newspapers

Sampson as showing the immense ser

For 80 Years Three Women Draw a PEN

Washington, April 1.-The conviction
in the Criminal Court here to-
day OF Ellen Jones, colored, upon two
indictments charging her with fraudu-
lently obtaining pension money from
the government, ends one OF the most
remarkable cases ever developed in the
Pension Bureau. The evidence showed
that the fraud had extended over a
period of nearly thirty years.
William Butler, d colored soldier,
whose war record is the basis for the
long continued system of fraud, was
member of company E, First United
States colored infantry. He came from
Prince George county, Maryland, and
enlisted in the early part Of the year
1864. In his first engagement, in the
battle of Wilson's Landing, he was shot
in the head and died five days later at
Fort Monroe HIS was a young man
and unmarried. In his company was
Charles Marshall, since dead, and who.
after he came out OF the army, married
Carrie Jones, a sister Of the convicted
woman. He became what is known as

widow of William Butler. Under the
name of Mary Butler pension OF IS a
month was granted her in 1869. This
amount she continued TO draw without
difficulty until her death in 1873. Her
eldest daughter, Carrie Jones Marshall,
then presented herself as the mythical

the pension for fourteen years. Upon
her death in 1887 her sister, Ellen Jones,
the convicted woman, took up the pen
