A PENSION SWINDLER.
How . Negro Worked the Game
His Victims.

His Victims.
The pension bureau has received infor-
nation that an impostor, who has swim
died number Of people through represen-
tations that he could secure a pension for
them, has been arrested at Lebanon, III.
The story is a curious one. The impostor
is Ben Thornton, a colored man, who has
paraded under the names of Scott, Watson
and Mox at various times. He has served a
term of one year in the penitentiary for
swindling residents of Vicksburg, Miss, by
practically the same scheme that has again
landed him in the tolls of the government
He was released from the Ohio peniten-
tiary only few months ago. He at once
started out to make a living by fraud His
victims were ignorant colOred people. He
represented to them that he was one Of
eight members of board having power to
grant pensions, and that each member had
to receive 81 or they would not allow the
claim. He got the necessary SIC from his
dupes, and pretended to send it to the pen
sion bureau, addressing an envelope to
what it is supposed he regarded as a fic
tuous name, and mailing 1T in the pres
ence of his dupes. He pretended to inclose
his check for the money in this envelope
1t SO happened that the fictitious name
he used, that of ]. T. Little was the name
of an employe of the bureau in northern
city, and his letters, instead of going to the
dead letter office, were forwarded to ]. T.
Llttle Iney contained only waste paper.
When the bureau heard of the swindle that
was being practiced 1t had no descrip-
ton of the man, and his assumed name
didn't allow 1t to identify him with any
one who had ever before been engaged in
fraudulent work. The nature of the swim
die he was practicing, however, was iden-
tical with that which had caused the con-
viction of a man at Vicksburg over q year
previously. 1t was known that this man
had been sent to the penitentiary for
year, and he was believed to be the same
enc. His picture was sent to Illinois, and
the guess proved to be correct. He was
apprehended, and will probably soon be
behind the bars again.

GEN. OTIS IN THE CITY.
He Believes That the Present SeasOl
VIII End the Filipino Rebellion.


Major General Otis has arrived in WASH
ington and called upon Secretary Root and
Adjutant General Corbin this morning at
the War Department. The generals pur-
pose is to obtain an assignment to active
duty. He has been on waiting orders at his
home in Rochester. or near by ever since
his return from the Philippines in the early
summer He is now thoroughly rested and
in excellent physical condition, and desires
to return to work. He preferred formal
request for duty to Secretary Root, and
this request is now under consideration
The retirement next Monday of Major Cen
eral Wheeler as commanding officer OF the
department of the lakes, with headquarters
at Chicago, is the first available opening
for an officer of the rank of General Otis,
and it is probable that he will be assigned
to this post.
During his leisure General Otis has been
narrowly watching developments in the
Philippines, and. aided by his private in
formants, he feels able to make the prophe-
cy that the present rainy season will see
the last of the resistance to the United
States sovereignty in the Philippines He
says that Aguinaldo is now practically
powerless, and what little following he has
had will shrink away to nothing as the
conditions improve in the islands. His re-
ports indicate that the rice planting now in
progress will give employment to many
Filipinos, and by December the ripening
sugar crop will engage the labor of many
more, who will thus find peaceful and re-
munerative occupa tions instead of engaging
in brigandage General Otis predicts that
the years crops in the Philippines will be
of immense proportions, larger than ever
known before. insurng prosperity to the
islands in a degree that the natives have
spirit will soon go down before the re-
sultant contentment Of the people.

Our Exports of Manufactures Increas

The expectation of manufactures con-
tinues to form the most striking feature of
our rapidly expanding commerce. year
ago the record of $1,O00.O0O day for every
business day in the month was considered
a phenomenal one; now record of 81, ,OOO, 600

total exports of the month, while for the
seven months ending with July the total
exports of manufactures were $269, 300, $780,
forming a. .66 per cent of the total exports
during that period.
In 1860 exports of manufactures formed
u per cent of the total expectations; in

1890. 17.8 per cent; in 1895, 2i per cent; in

COLORADO FOREST FIRES.
Great Damage to Timber in Vicinity
of Red Cliff.

PAGOSA, SPRINGS, Col, August 81
Forest fires are raging along nearly the en-
tire north boundary Of Archuleta county,
and devastating large areas of timber.
The largest fire is burning near the head
of Four-Mile creek, only about twelve miles
from town, and the smoke resembles a
huge cloud rather than smoke. Another
big fire Is burning in the northwest part
of the county and doing great damage.
RED CLIFF, Col, August 81. timber
fire prevailing for the past few days in the
vicinity Of the deserted village of Gold
Park, twelve miles from here, has assumed
threatening proportions and is raging
through large acreage of timber on Home
stake mountain. Prospectors and miners
operating in that section are returning to
town. driven in by the suffocating smoke
and flames.
Weather conditions in this section are IA
vorable for the spread of forest fires, as
everything is exceedingly dry, owing to the
almost entire absence of the customary
rainy season. and unless the drouth is
promptly raised incalculable damage will
result. The timber In which the flames now
hold sway is among the finest in the state.
The wind at present is heading the fire in
this direction.

manufactures is particularly gratifying
when compared with that of other nations
which have heretofore chiefly supplied the
worlds markets in manufactured goods.
In 1850 our total exports of manufactures
were but S40.345,S92 In that year those of
the United Kingdom were $613. .35S. 262. By
1870 our own exports of manufactures had
increased to SOS. 164, and those of the
United Kingdom were 500. les, 224. In 1880
exports of manufactures from the United
States were $151, ,102. .316. and those from
United Kingdom were $910,6S1 400 In 1890
exports of manufactures from the United
States were $151 ,376. and those from
the United Kingdom were 81 ,OS9, 155, 1877. In
1900 exports Of manufactures from the
United States had reached 1892 22S4. 366. while
those from the United Kingdom in 1S99 the
latest available year, were practically the
same as in 1890, being 81 ,O92, 563. .O72. Thus
1t will be seen that our exports of manufac-
lures are now ten times as much as in 1860
while those Of the United Kingdom are but
one and half times as much as in 1860.

Assistant Surgeon A. r. Thomas of the
United States marine hospital service, who
is now in this city, will investigate the
bubonic plague outbreak here and take the
necessary precautions in regard to outward

There has been no increase in the num-

prOmptitude and are confident of confining
the outbreak within the present scope

Western Railroads Claim That Pres

ST. PAUL, Minn., August 31-The Min
neapolis and st. Louis railroad has filed
with the railroad commission a formal re-
fusal to accept the proposed new tariff
SCI edule. The Great Northern, the Chicago
Great Western and the Chicago. st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha have also filed
their answers. The Minneapolis and ST.
Louis claim that the existing distance and
distributing rates are not unreasonably
high: that the maximum rates submitted
by the commission are unreasonably low
and confiscatory; that state and interstate
business has been so intermingled that
earnings cannot be separated, and that it
is impossible to make such report as the
commission requires within the time limit.
The answers of the other roads are upon
the same line of argument.
