Austrian Count in our Army

An Austrian count, formerly an officer
in the army OF Emperor Francis Joseph
now a naturalized American, started for
San Francisco last Monday, to join the
46th regiment OF volunteers, bound for
the Philippines.
When the war with Spain began
Leopold Leonhard Graf Thun Hohen-
stein, living in New York under the
modest name OF Leopold Thun, got the
war fever. His Austrian army record
was so good that he received lieuten-
ancy and served IN Cuba, HIS service
there, however, was brief, and aiterward
he returned to private life. Recently
he again tried to entersthe military SER
vice, end fearing his limited knowledge
of English would handicap him, offered
to enlist as a private. The President
heard ofhim made inquiries and ordered
a commission as second lieutenant to be
issued him.

incidents upon which the claims are
based occurred, and that during the
interim more than a hundred laws ana
decisions having direct bearing on this
kind OF cls inns have been passed and
rendered operative, it can readily be
seen that while each claimant may be
morally certain that his demand is lust,
it is difficult matter Tor him to prove
1t in conformity with the unusually
severe rules laid out by the Office. Fur
thermore, the claimant is allowed only
three months within the date OF hhng
the claim in which to prepare his proof.
Ifit is not filed with the Au ditor within
that period the whole claim is rejected.
This regulation, however, does not
apply TO the Spanish war veterans, but
only to those whose claims arise from
the civil war,
Auditor Morris virtually says: UNLESS
within three months you specify the
amount due you and the precise law or
decision under which il is claimed,
together with full statement giving
dates, places, names OF service, &c,
will return your claim without consid'
Grafton"
This in itself according 10 some OF the
best attorneys an Washington, constitutes
an illegal act, The ,uditor, It is de
clared is not legally recognized as the
head of the Office for the purpose oil
returning claims if they be not filed
within specified time, or If they omit
to state some subordinate fact, but to
examine the records OF his Office and
allow whatevs sr may be due or to reject
the claim entirely If after a complete
nothing is found to be due
1t Is stated that the Office has set aside
nearly a thousand claims of civil war
which were just on the point of
settlement, besides the fifty thousand
which are in various stages of compile
tion,

Review ~ Police and Flremen.

Members of the local police force,
aIoot and on horseback, passed in review
before the District Commissioners last
Tuesday afternoon, together with the
engine crews OF the Fire Department
and the drivers Of the police patrol
wagons. The reviewing party was
stationed in front of the White House,
ard included. besides the Commission.
ers, many officers OF the army and navy,
prominent residents and group OF
ladies'. Major Richard Sylvester chief
of police, led the line, followed by an
escort of bicycle policemen. Platoons
representing each of the nine precincts
marched after the bicycle squad, The
patrol wagons and ambulances brought
up the rear of the first division. Chief
PARIS commanded the second division.
All the engines and hosecarts were
bountifully decorated with flowers and
were polished until their metal work
shone like silver. All along the line o,
march, which extended from the State,
War and NAVY Building to the Peace
monument, police and firemen were
cheered enthusiastically.
When ons battalion OF the Fire De-
partment had passed the reviewing
stand, Engine company No. ; and Truck
Company A dashed from Eighteenth
street to- Fifteenth street as rapidly as
the horses could gaIlop. The speed of
the engine and hosecart was remarkable.
The crowd was barely prepared for the
start when the drivers reined in their
horses in front OF the Treasury and then
dashed by the grand stand as fast as the
horses could go.
Lieutenant Amiss and the men of the
First Police Precinct we're given the
prize flag donated by Commissioner
Wight for annual competition. In drill
and equipment the Eighth precinct gave
the men of the First hard battle, but
the latter won the flag by their excep-
tionally high average at target practice.

washington Centennial.

An interest more than local is being
aroused in the coming centennial
celebration OF the establishment OF the
seat Of the national government in the
District Of Columbia. In addition to the
activity OF the citizens in regard to the
movement. the sympathy of the Presl
dent is actively enlisted, and he has
appointed a committee, composed Of the
Governors of the various States, to act
as members of the committee. Ever
since the matter was brought to his
attention the Chief Executive has shown
the most kindly interest, and he has
evinced a determination to make the
event in every way national in import
ance. Locally, everything is being done
that is possible at this early stage and
while there Is some discussion as to who
should take the lead, these difficulties
will quickly adjust themselves

Pensions we're Rushed.

A strInging illustration of the meas
ures to which the Administration
resorted in its efforts to control the
Sp anish American war veteran vote is
furnished in the Office of the Treasury
Auditor for the War Department. For
the political reasons veterans OF the war
of the rebellion have been neglected in
order to propitiate the Spanish war
veterans.
Auditor Frank H. Morris came from
Cleveland. He is a stanch friend OF
Mark Hanna. When he was placed at
the head of this Office he was given
instructions to expedite the settlement
of claims filed by veterans of the Spanish
American war, even at the cost OF
sidetracking the claims OF civil war
veterans.
Morris took charge last August in
place OF one Brown, protege OF Quay
who was transferred, and according to
instructions put to work almost the
entire force upon these Spanish Ameri-
can war cases, and, as they are easily
disposed Of, Is turning out hundreds OF
them a day. 1t is estimated that he
sidetracked, in round numbers, $4,000
claims of soldiers and their heirs CT the
Rebellion.
Local posts of the Grand Army are
acquainted with the facts in the case
and it is believed that they will take
some action in the matter.
During the past lew months The Pen
sion Office has devoted itself exclusively
10 claims filed by persons living in States
in which elections were held on Tuesday.
A careful investigation ot the facts IN
the case shows that Auditor Morris has
sidetracked 10000 claims for bounty,
&c, filed bv civil war veterans, allowing
his force to devote its time exclusively
to consideration OF the $4,000 petitions
of claimants in the Spanish war. The
claims OF the civil war veterans have
been on file during the past four years.
The claims of the other veterans are In
most cases less than year old. The
claims handled by the Auditors Office
are not filed with the view Of procuring
pensions. Most OF them are for travel
nav and back pay allowed by Congress
Auditor Morris recently issued a
circular from his department which
furnishes uncoutradictory evidence thai
bid is being made tor the Spanish
yeteran vote. This circular states that
hayeaf,er all claims filed with the Office
must specify in writing wherein the
Government is indebted to the claimant
II for back pay. the time must be stated
giving dates; If for bounty under which
particular act the claim is filed; II toT
clothing, under which service and Il io'

SALE OF MALT EXTRACTS.

SALE OF MALT EXTRACTS.
Mr.. Robert N. Harper, the president
OF the Washington Pharmaceutical
Association has written to the COmmis-
sioners in regard to the arrests of many
druggists for the alleged violation OF
the law regulating the sale OF intoxicat
ing liquors by the handling of malt
extracts. Mr.. Harper says in his letter
that the druggists believe that the
malt extracts should contain a certain
percentage Of alcohol Mr.. Harper
wishes to know whether any OF the
brands of extract is on the market come
under the ban Of the statutory inhibition,
"Ii Congress is silent. as the District
attorney states upon the subject" Mr..
Harper's letter says, land # the malt
extracts are, as has been suggested,
proprietary medicines and have no
strength it appears to me that a
standard Of strength should be estab-
lshed for the retail druggists, that they
may be permitted to sell without fear
of Police Court trials "
The communication was referred to
the assistant district attorney, Mr..
Pugh returned the paper last Monday
with the report that according to the
decision OF the Police Court all druggists
must require customers to furnish a
prescription from reputable physician,
before selling them malt extracts, wines,
and liquors. The police are required to
see that this regulation IS enforced.
The writer OF the letter will be informed
in accordance with Attorney Pugh's
report.
