PENSION FRAUDS.
Recent Cases Run Down by Special
Examiners.

Recent Cases Run Down by Special
Examiners.
Special Examinen Theodore Tallmadge,
stationed at PHtsbtrg, Pa, has obtained
refundment of a ,s6f 40 from Philip FELTON,.
improperly pen4iond as the dependent IA
ther Of Peter S. FELTON,, late of Company
K, 20Sth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry,
under certificate No. 2T4552, it appearing
from the evidence obtained by Mr. Tall
madge that the father was in no sense de-
pendent within the meaning of the pension
laws, either on the date of the filing Of his
application or at any time during the period
for which pension was paid. The case pre-
sented several difficulties and the pension
er employed an attorney to look after his
interests.
Fred Douglass, alias Dover. alias Harris,
alias Campbell, alias ETC., etc, a notorious
professional fmposter who has obtained his
living by impersonating a special examiner
of the pension bureau at all times when out
Of the penitentiary for at least nine years
last past, was recently arrested at Sails
bury, Nd, by Special Examiner Carver on
warrants sworn out by Special Examiner j..
Speed Smith at Wilmington, Del. This
man was released from the New Jersey
penitentiary at Trenton on the 25th of jan
uary and Immediately proceeded to vic
ttmize applicants for pension. He passed
through Philadelphia Chester, Wilmington
and along the line of the railroad from VIII
mington to Salisbury, where he was ar
rested.

MAI. SYLVESTER GRATIFIED.
Pleased That the Police Force is to
Be Increased.

While Major Sylvester, the chief OF po-
lice. is naturally disappointed that Con-
eress did not allow the increase Of the
force 10 the extent of 102 men, as he strong
Iy urged, he feels that the increase of
twenty-six men given him In the District
appropriation bill signed today Is great
deal better than nothing. This increase Is
the first for two years, and will give the
District police force 571 men, including the
officers and privates. The bill also increases
the contingent fund $1,000, provides sep
arate allowance of $1,000 for the transpor-
tatlon OF paupers, allows $3.50 for repairs to
the Anacostia station, 500 for repairs to
buildings and s. 100 for removing the en-
bankment in the rear of the third precint
station.
Everything considered. Major Sylvester
expressed himself this afternoon as being
rather well satisfied with what had been
done by Congress for his department, be-
lieving that as much will be done at the
next session of that body.
The fire department also fared well at
the session just closed, two truck compa-
MES and a chemical engine company being
added. One OF the truck companies will be
located in Georgetown and the other in
Columbia Heights, while the chemical COM
pany win go to Tenleytown. Chief PARIS
hopes to have the houses for the three new
companies completed during the present
year so that Congress may be asked to
provide the men for placing them in oper-
alton by the 1st of January next. The bill
provides also a machinist for the depart
rnent a position which the Commissioners
and Chief Paris have strongly urged for
several years.

CONDITIONS IN CHINA.
Conclusions of the COmmfssion Sent
to study Them.

Consul General Mason at Berlin has sent
to the State Department a copy of the re-
port of the commission sent out in 1895
by the Lyons bureau of commerce to study
conditions in China, which report, he says,
should prove of real value to Americans
who contemplate investing or settling In
that country. The commission started from
Tonkin, travelled extensively in unexpIored
portions of southern China descended the
fangtze river almost from source to out
let and skirted the coast from Hong Kong
as far north as Pekin. The different MEM
pers OF the party travelled in all over u 900
miles on Chinese territory
The report calls attention to the fact that
according to the returns of Chinese ems
toms authorities, the trade between China
and Hong Kong is given as British, whereas
III reality Hong Kong is distinctively a bort
or transit and that an important part of
the foreign and coast trade of China passes
through that port and is Incorrectly desis-
mated as British
The commission compares the statistics
OF the Chinese customs authorities with
those of the published export statements
OF countries trading with China, and finds
that out of a total of $120, 90 no less
than s45. 100000 of the trade between Hong
Kong and the Chinese empire belongs to the
United States. France and Germany.
According to the Chinese custom house
reports the import trade from the United
states Is given at $24, 1000, 900 per annum /:
but 1t Is estimated by the commission at
s5oSooooo 1t Is further estimated that in
stead OF tweithirds. only 40 to 80 per cent
or the foreign trade with China is with
Great Britain: and the conclusion ia drawn
from all the facts collected by the commits
sion that there exists in China a large and
promising field for the enterprise of other
nations, MIR. Mason says
Ihls would seem to be substantiated by
the fact that the trade of Germany with
the Chinese empire has increased 10 per
81, 1897. 1t is considered a significant fact
that OF the twelve members who composed
the French commission FIVE have since re-
turned to China for commercial purposes.
