PENSION RoLA DECREASED.
Evans Report Showed 4O,99I Names |
Added and d3, 1856 Dropped.

Evans Report Showed 40,901 Names
Added and d3,1s6 Dropped.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The annual
report of Hon. H. Clay Evans, commits.
sioner of pensions, showed that during
the year there were added to the pen.
sion roll 40,99l names and 43, 1856 were
dropped, 34,345 of these by reason of
death.
There was expended for pensions
$138,355, ,052. The annual value OF the
entire pension roll amounts TO $l31, ,6l7,-
96l, being $649, 9,496 more than it ever
was, due to the higher average annual
value of pensions. The roll Is made up
OF 753,45l surviving soldiers, 237,4l5
widows and dependent relatives and
653 nurses. The total number of orig
inaI applications filed during the year,
including those on account of the war
with Spain, was 48,765. The number of
original claims allowed was 37,077.
During the year l07.9l9 claims of all
classes were rejected, "a large percentage
OF these beng claims for increase. The
report will state that the delay in
the adjudication of claims is in near4y
every case the fault of the claimants or
their attorneys.
In order that the present complex sys-
tenn OF pensioning may be simplified
and to secure more uniform practice
in the future, the appointment of
commission on the revision OF the laws,
rules and regulations WAS recommended.

HUNTING DYNAMITERS.
Oficers Active Owing to the Injuries to
Passengers by the Explosion
In Cleveland,

CLEVELAND, Sept. 1.-The persons in
jured by the blowing up of street car
ON Wilson avenue are not in serious
condition and will recover. A large
number of patrolmen have been detailed
for detective duty in citizens clothing,
and with them are operating the police
detective force and squads of operatives
from several private detective agencies,
not 60 mention scores of amateurs who
are out for the liberal rewards that have
been offered.
An examination of the spot where the
explosion occurred and the testimony Of
an expert on explosives who heard the
report a short distance eway show that
nitroglycerin was the agent used in
wrecking the car. The street railway
strikers denounce the outrage and say
they would offer a reward for the arrest
of the perpetrators if the state of their
treasury would warrant it.

DIR. BEOLoE DENIED CHARGES.
Explained the Steamer Abbey Affair
Not Under Suspension.

NOT Under Suspension.
CHICAGO, Sept. Too i'll to continue
his journey to Washington without a
days rest, DR.. Edward Bedloe, United
States consul at Canton, China, halted
in Chicago and, while here, took occa-
sion to deny the report that he is under
suspension and to discuss the charges
that have been filed against him with
the state department. He said in part:
"Thus far | have not been informed
officially that any charges have been
laid against me. The first intimation l
had to that effect was when, on arriy-
ing in this country, L saw the reports III
the newspapers.
"An American registry was granted
TO the steamer Abbey, it is true, but
that was done more than year ago,
and at time when the Filipinos were
regarded as allies of the United States.
The charge that l am in sympathy with
the Filipinos is rank nonsense. The
Abbey is a vessel so small as to be of
no importance and when the American
registry was granted the boat was under
bond to the Chinese government to
make trip to Singapore. The bond
subsequently forfeited"

Railroad Mines Has Agreement
with River Combine.

CLEVELAND, Sept 1.-The Pittshur~
rail coal mine combination has been
formed and q meeting will be hell
within two weeks to elect otIic RS. T :
new corporation is the Pittsburg Goa

of the l07 individuals and firms in the
business, has practically absolute con.
troll of the docks and coal loading plants
on the great lakes and has a monopoly on
all the outlets TO the coal markets of the
east, west and northwest. There is an
understanding between this combine
and the combine of the river coal inter.
ests of the Pittsburg district, so that
neither will encroach upon the territory
of the other, thus putting the Pittsburg
district, with it's output of 22,9lS,S04
tons OF coal last year, in the hands OF
two great concerns.
Of that total output last year the
properties now owned by the Pittsburg
Coal company produced over 100000
tons, and this year it is expected that
the production will exceed 10000, ,00C
tons. Included in the assets of the con
Germs taken over are 81, ,236 acres Of Goa
lands and 7,l26 acres of surface land
situated in the counties of Allegheny
Fayette, Washington and Westmore
land in Pennsylvania on the lines of the
Pennsylvania railroad, the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad system, the lines OF
the Pennsylvania company and those OF
| the Pittsburg and Lake Erie and Pitts
| burg and Western railroads, with di
rect connections with many dock anC
| loading plants.
