This means that the seat of government

BUSY ON PENSIONS
Commander Torrance Is Occupied
With Some Timely Problems.
HIS WORK PARTLY CoNcILIAToRY
He Will Strive to Reconcile Grand
Army Leaders and Pension
Dept OmciaIs.

Owing to the assassination of President

G. A. R., which was then in progress, ad-
1ourned out of respect to the presidents 8

all Of which was intrusted to committee.
is the pension problem, a matter which
has caused much discussion within Grand
Army ranks during recent years; and
which may be expected to bob up again in
congress during the next session
Just what stand the army will take on
the subject Is a matter for speculation.
Commander-in in Chief Torrance refuses to
discuss the question, although he admits
that the pension problem is engrossing
much of his time 1t is probable, however,
that congress will be asked to pass the
bills offered last winter, providing for a
court Of pension appeals.
While there exists in Grand Army ranks
a feeling that the time has now arrived
when a service pension law should be
adopted, local men do not believe that
such a law can be passed at present, al
though they firmly believe that it will
come later.
1t is probable that the majority of Grand
Army men are opposed to the passage of
such law at this time, although they
hope that it will prove practicable within
few years.
The Grand Army has on its rolls to-day
about 950,000 men, of which about IT'S, 900
are drawing pensions. This leaves 200, 900
who would be eligible under service law,
although many Of them, who are in com
Portable circumstances, would not apply
for the emolument. even were they enti-
tied to 1t.
Judge Torrance, despite the fact that he
declines to talk Of the matter. may be
counted upon to do all in his power to
bring about a better feeling between
Grand Army leaders and the pension de-
partment officials, whose relations have
been somewhat strained.

CONSPIRACY
Startling Charges by a Man

Allegations of Fraud Involv-

bermen.

From The journal Bure@4s. ROoni 40. PssS
Building, W9ShtnGtSn-
Washington, Oct. 29.-Tbe Chippewa
reservation frauds are furnishing material
which is likely to keep the interior de-
partment busy for several months.
In the latest development Charles w.
Seeleye is the chief figure. He is serving
a term of Imprisonment for starting for
est fires, and recently the president denied
petition for pardon. Seeleye has filed
through his attorneys a statement al
leging a gigantic conspiracy involving a
number of the most prominent Minnesota
lumbermen, who he says are making i'm
mense profits at the expense of the In
dians and the government. hearing will
be given in the case tomorrow by the in
terror department officials, and Congress
man Morris of Duluth is expected to-
night and, 1t is said, will make a state
ment to Commissioner Jones to the effect
that Seeleye is the victim of this con-
spiracy.
Seeleyes statement alleges that certain
Indians were persuaded to give untruth-
full testimony against him in the matter
of forest fires, the big lumbermen inter-
ested having paid literally for that pur-
pose. At one time Seeleye had contract
for furnishing supplies to numbering
camps. Several of these contracts were
sublet to George F. Porter of Mime
apolis, who, Seeleye claims, Is one of the
men now plotting to work his (Seeleye's)
ruin. Seeleye and Porter got into a
wrangle, with the result that $1,000 Of
claims which Seeleye had against the gov
ernment are hung up in the treasury de-
partment. According to the story as con-
tanned in Seeleye's statement, Porter or
ganized the Indians in opposition to See
leye and the latters arrest for starting
forest fires followed. Seeleye's attorneys
say Judge Lochren of Minneapolis has
made statement that he believes Seeleye
was wrongfully convicted
Several of the lumbermen named in the
Seeleye statement are residents Of Min
napolis and 1t is expected that to-mor-
rows hearing will throw some new and i'm
portant light on the question of dead-and-
down operations in Minnesota last winter

TIME CUT TO

Bigger Motors to Be Placed

MORE DOUBLE TRACK
Service Will Be Especially Complete
as Far as Wildwood.
POWER FROM ST. cRoIx FALLS
Engineers Have Been Looking over
the Ground Presumably for
the It. G. r.. It. Co.

improvements Of the utmost Importance
to patrons of the Saltwater line of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company will be
undertaken next season. From a reliable
source 1t was learned to-day that the COM
pany will double track the line between
st. Paul and Wildwood and add greatly
to its efficiency by extending the line
around White Bear lake to White Bear
village This extension will be about five
miles long.
In addition the line will be Strengthened,
grades will be cut down and additional
motor power provided for each car. The
four motors with which the cars are now
equipped are Of fifty horse power each,
but 1t has been found that even 200 horse
power is inadequate for the highest eff
cheney in service which the management
proposes to maintain on the Saltwater
line.
Engineers on the st. CrOix.
It is also said that the Twin City Rapid
Transit company is vitally interested in
made in the st. Croix river above Taylors
Falls by Former City Engineer Rundlett
Of st. Paul. Every one connected with
the work maintains an air of bullet proof
mystery, but from the measurements
made, it is surmised that a new dam will
be constructed in the river.
AS vast power could be secured by a
dam at the place indicated, 1t is more than
probable that its construction will mark
the beginning of electric line extensions
to the principal cities of Minnesota. 1t is
only few days since Thomas Lowry,
president of the company, predicted that
electric lines would be running to Chi
cago within ten years, and that the grid
ironing of the state by electric lines
would inevitably come with the develop
ment of its towns and cities. TIE COM
pany has already pretty firm grip on
the available electric power OF this vicin-
ity as it can be supplied by water power.
The big dam in the Mississippi river below
the Tenth avenue bridge which at present
neapolis and st. Paul is but one valuable
possession. The Coon creek dam in the
Mississippi river, which will add another
10000 horse power. is certain of realiza-
tion. The company's engineers are now
engaged in perfecting the details of their
plans, and the completion of the Coon
creek Improvement within three years will
add tremendously to the available power.
In preparing for this improvement the
company has had in mind not only the
growth Of the city which would necessi-
tate additional lines. but the demands for
electric power in factories, machinery
plants. buildings, etc. This power, it Is
estimated, can be furnished at a much
lower cost than steam power and will give
a great impetus to the manufacturing in
dustry in Minneapolis.

FEWER TROOPS
Army In the Philippines to BE Re-
duced Further.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The cabinet to-
day considered the military situation in
the Philippines.
Conditions in the Island Of Samar have
led the war department to consider the
propriety Of stopping, for the time being,
the reductions in the Philippine army
through the discharge of enlisted men
whose terms are expiring. However, after
hearing Secretary Roots report, the cab
met decided that there was no present
occasion to suspend the reduction. The
original policy, therefore, will prevail
Secretary Root said that the sporadic
outbreaks at isolated points would be
dealt with properly as they arose, and
added that troops to meet these small
emergencies would scarcely be needed.
The president announced that he had
practically, the Thanksgiving

in few days: He has nearly completed
