the United States. in an interview which
appears in the repor, of the Treasury De
partmeut Bureau Of Statistics. highly eX-
tolls the progress of American manufac-
Iured products. and cites the heavy orders
from Russia for railroad materials as an
instance of the recognition in Europe OF
our astounding resources in this respect.
England and Germany the Ambassador
says. are being rapidly superseded in the
trade which they have for so long a time
enjoyed in Russia and America has been

iOus machinery manufactured in the United
States will be unlimited"

This afternoon, accompanied by Generals
Chaffee and Ludlow and his aides. General
Wood visited the curcei and inspected the

are unknown. The purpose Of his visit was
presumably to prepare himself for recon

NEW PENSIONS PROPOSED.
\ HiU for the BcneAt of Revenue
Cutter Seumen.

y Hill Tor the Hcneht of Revenue
Cutter Seumen.
One Of the pension bills which, it is said,
viii find strong support in Congress at this
session is that which provides that the en-
listed men OF the Revenue Cutter Service
OF the United States, who have been or may
be wounded or disabled while in the actual
discharge OF their duties, shall be entitled
to be placed upon a pension list under the
same regulations and restrictions as are
now provided by law for enlisted men of
the Navy.
Under the provisions Of section 47l4, Re
yised Statutes. the officers and seamen Of
the Revenue Cutter Service who may be
wounded or disabled ip the discharge of
their duty while cooperating with the
Navy by order of the President may be
placed upon the Navy pension list.
The Secretary OF the Treasury IN his last
report said:
The ordinary duties devolyed upon the
Revenue Gutter Service are fraught with
greater risk of life and limb than that in
Cured by the Army, Navy, and Marine
Corps in time Of peace, while in time Of
war they are at least equal and every ar
gumeut that applies as a justification for
extending this bounty to those services has
equal force on behalf Of the enlisted men
of the Revenue Cutter Service.
1T is the aim and purpose Of the depart
ment TO raise the Revenue Cutter Service
to the highest standard Of excellence
While much has been done in his regard
by the department in the formulation Of
proper orders and regulations, certain es-
sential results cannot be accomplished
without legislation by Congress. the need
of which is seriously felt. Something must
be done immediately whereby the active
lists of commissioned officers can be filled
with men mentally and physically qualified
to perform the arduous, hazardous and eX-
