INTERPRETING FIGURES.

A study of the vote cast for President
in the Middle Atlantic group of States
that is to say, New York, New Jer-
5ey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land and West Virginia-shows that at
the late election Mr.. Mckinley po!led
just $3.50 more votes than he did in
1896. while Mr. Bryan increased his
vote 1870. The vote for Mckinley
in those States in 1896 was 1927 .6S2
and in 1900, 2,O34,v21, while the Bryan
vote in 1896 was 1,329,25S, and in 1900
1,504,96S The total increase in the
vote of thees six States was $4,000,
and, allowing for the scattered vote
and deducting it Mr.. Bryan
received practically all of it, Mckinley

MIR. HAYS ILT!MATUM.

Secretary of State Hay has delivered
his ultimatum. He says he will leave
the Cabinet unless the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty is ratified. Mr.. Hay evidently
thinks he is the whole thing. Upon
his proposition to quit the Republican
New York Sun says;
I'VE understand that Mr. Hay has
threatened to leave the cabinet unless the
whole power of the administration be eX-
erted to procure the ratification of the
! HayPauncelote treaty unamended. If
that is the alternative now presented, let
John Hay go, while the Monroe doctrine
remains to be for the twentieth century
what it has been during the greater part
of the nineteenth, the guiding principle
Of American policy on this continent
There is entirely too much arrogance
among certain high officials at Wash
! irgton. They appear to think, since
the election particularly, that they oc-
cupy the positions Of agents of mon
archial rulers, and have only to nod,
with imperial approval, to make Or
binary people edance.
Mr. Hay should be allowed to carry
out his threat. There is too great a
disposition on the part of the admins
tration, of late years, to indicate to
Congress what it should do. The tend
ency is in the wrong direction, and is
decidedly dangerous. Congressman
represent the people, and should con-
troll national affairs. The administra-
ton should be limited, as far as posi-
Bile, to strictly executive duties.

ROBERTS MAY GET $4,000.
The House Will Be Asked to Vote Him That
Sum.


The house committee on mileage has
decided to invite Brigham 81. Roberts TO
appear before the committee and give
his reasons why he shOnld receive his
mileage. Mr.. Roberts having been pre-
vented from taking the oath the commit
tee is unable to find any authority for
granting him his mileage, any more than
the speaker has for sIgniug the warrants
for bis salary. L is probable, however,
that a measure will be introduced which
will allow Mr.. Roberts 81 900, the sum
allowed contestants for seats. II recOg-
milton from the speaker can be obtained
for the immediate consideration Of the
resOluti' it is probable it will be adopt
ed, as there are many members of the
house who believe that Mr.. Roberts
came here in good faith to take the seat
to which he was elected and that he is
entitled to that much consideration.
Mr.. Roberts said that he would have
ap, ealed 0 the courts t. at him had
there been any way in which this could
be done. As it is he is considering the
advisabilly of bringing suit in the
courts for the salary of the two years
term for which he was elec'ed. This, he
said, be would do il it can be done, be-
cause he wanted to counteraCt the eff ct
which the action of the house had Cd
him personally. He expects to leave
Washington IN few days and &C to
Chicago, where he may remain several
days. Should be bring suit for his salary
1t will probably be fl ed in the federal
court in Utah from which an appeal can
be taken to the United States supreme

NEW PENSION DECISION.
Widows of INDECENT Pensioners Can Draw
Pensions for This Year.

Commissioner of Pensions Lindsay
yesterday took action in an INDECENT
widows case that in effect reversed
the rulings of his predecessor, Com
missioner Johnson, III similar cases.
The question involved was the right
of the widow of an INDECENT pensioner
whose husband died subsequent to
January 1st, to draw the deceased 8
pension for the present year. Conn
missioner Johnson held that section
1867, vol. 1, of the new code which
prescrIbes for the procedure of pay
ment, only applied to the widows of
Invalid pensioners, and under the same
could not see his way clear to pay the
pensions of lndigents dying subse-
quent to to January lst to their wild
oWs.
The case In question was referred by
Commissioner Lindsey to the attorney
general who decided that the widows
OF indigents and invalids are on pre-
cisely the same footing. This was
the commissioners view, and he ruled
accordingly.
