Gen. SIckIes IncOnsistent.

From the Savannah News.
The only conclusion to be reached is that
Gen. Sickles is not only inconsistent. but
is playing the part of a demagogue.

Evans Must Remain.
From the New York Tribune.

By his allegations Of q prediction bar
gain for the removal Of Commissioner
Evans General Sickles would seem to
have made that officials tenure more firm
than before his attack. 1t would now be
difficult for the President, even for good
reason connected with efficiency of the ser
vice. to superSede Mr.. Evans. He could
not promote him. nor could Mr.. Evans for
any personal reasons retire without open
ing the administration to a charge, which
thousands would believe, of having carried
out a political bargain and paid to General
Sickles political debt. Any reason given
for a change, no matter how true and how
proper 1t might be, would be widely de-
nounced as mere subterfuge to hide an
other reason which could not be avowed.
Gen. Sickles and the Grand Army.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
That doughty old warrior, General Daniel
e. Sickles, who never seems 80 thoroughly
In his element as when he is in the thick
of a fight, will hardly be thanked by the
more thoughtful and seif-respecting MEM
bers of the Grand Army for the manner in
he has so suddenly and so impetuously
constituted himself the champion.
Cause of the Trouble.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The trouble between General Sickles and
Commissioner Evans appears to be that
the former wanted a new pension law en-
forced according to the Interpretation of
the Grand Army Of the Republic and the
latter insisted upon taking the advice of
the Attorney General. The Grand Army
practically dictates the pension laws and
1t gets what 1t wants in due time Com
missioner Evans will not be severely criti-
cised by right minded men for refusing to
waive the formalfty of action by Congress
in the matter Of pensions.
An Emcient Commissioner.
From the Minneapolis Times.
1t may be accepted as proved that Henry
Clay Evans Of Tennessee is an efficient
commissioner of tensions. Were one tithe

Why Sickles Dtslfkes Evans.

From the Hartford Post

mated with the refusal of the commissioner
to allow Gen. Sickles to construe a pension
law. The more this affair is ventilated the
more it appears that to remove the pension
commissioner now would be a serious mis-
take.

From the Buffalo Express.
Gen Sickles confirms the statement that
the republican national committee had
promtsed him the removal of Commissioner
Evans. This makes 1t all the palmer that
If Evans is removed 1t must be for political
reason which would be far from creditaole

his resignation would have been demanded
by the administration long ago. That a
certain clique of the Grand Army of the
Republic is inimioal to him is probably
true. although We doubt very much wbSth-

tration.
Claims should Re scrutiuIxcd.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The controversy between Commissioner
Evans and Gener1 al Sicllles is not between
them alone. With Evans are those who
think that pension demand on the gov
ernment. like any other demand. should he
carefully scrutinized. The money involved
belongs 10 the people Of the United State
and is raised by taxation. Every money
claimant. other than those seeking pen
sions, knows that his bills will be sCrutin-
lied and admits chat they ought to be. He
is prepared to stand such scrutiny. and
knows. il he can do so. he will get the
money to which he is entitled.
SicLIes Not he Humored.
From the Staunton NR.l News.
The pension attorneys and disappointed
pension applicants continue to urge releut-
less Commissioner Evans. IL is to
be hoped that President Mckinley will
have the backbone to resist the unjust
clamor and retain in Office one in whose
integrity and ability he reposes the ut
most confidence. ii would be shame to dis
miss such man only to placate those who
are dissatisfied with him for the sole rea-
that he is faithfully discharging his
duties.

But Kitchener Cannot Drive

EFFECT ofNTcnENERs PROCLAMATION
Westward Movement Of the Dutch From the
vryburs District-Dewst In South.
eastern Orange River Colony.

London. Dec. 29.-The latest dis.
patches FROM South Africa show that
Lord Kitchener has succeeded in hold
ing the Beers 10 check. He has not
yet been successful in expelliug them
from Cape Colony, while different
commanders continue to display aston.
ishing activity over an immensely wide
field.
1t is questionable whether his proc.
lamation will have much effect until
General Dewet is captured. The Beers
are likely to regard it as sign OF
weakness and to have a wholesome
dread of vengeance ii they surrender.
The proclamation is approved by the
party at home that favors conciliatory
terms to the Beers as a step in the
right direction.
Queen Victoria, it is said, has ap
proved the proposal to institute new
order of knighthood to reward officers
who have served in South Africa.
The order will probably be called the
Star of Africa.
A dispatch from Vryburg, dated De-
cember 20, says that Beers in consider
able numbers were making move
nent westward. They had $50 wagons.
The dispatch suggests that they were
trekking to Damara- Land, although
the Beers themselves denied any such
intention.

GALE SWEPT COAST.
Havoc Wrought by Storm in English Channel
MANY Wrecks Reported.

London, Dec. 31.-There has been a
recurrence of storms and violent gales

Vessels are seeking shelter in the har.
bors, and number of wrecks have
been announced. The gale Is 80 furi.
ous in the channel that the Continental
services were suspended this evening.
Wales is said to have suffered the
worst effect of the gale, both on land
and sea, but everywhere the telegraph
wires are much disorganized. and re-
ports are therefore incomplete. Con.
siderable damage to property inland

years. Probably several days will
elapse before the full damage becomes
known.

REMARkAslE CASE or cARElEssNEss

Night In the Public Waiting ROOM
Letters Shewn Along the Track.


Detroit, Dec. 31.-A mail pouch
containing 500, 900 in negotiable pa.
per and an unknown amount of money
was stolen from the Michigan Central
passenger station at Wyandotte, Mich,
some time last night. The last mail
ior Wyandotte arrives ut 1923 ON the
Michigan Central, and owing to the
ateness of the hour it is left at the sta
zion until morning. When the two
nail. sacks were thrown from the
rain last night, Night Operator Rich.
rt threw the pouches under q seat in
The corner of the waiting room. He
ihen went to his home in Detroit. To-
lay when Mail Carrier John McCleary
came to the station for the mail sacks
he missed one. About the same time
George Bessy. driver OF an oil wagon,
reported at the station that pouch,
ripped open and empty. was behind an
oil tank short distance from the sta
tion. At about the same time two
employees of the j. B. Ford Alkali
works found q number of checks and
opened envelopes strewn along the rail.
road track. Postmaster johnson, OF
Wyandotte, was notified and went at
once to the scene. The trail of the
thief was marked along the railroad
track by strewn letters. checks and
drafts. Most of the mail was intended
for the J. 6. Ford Company. and Q
force OF clerks was sent ont to collect
the letters strewn along the track. J..
B. Ford, Jr., said he expected a draft
today from New York for $4,000.
The draft did not come, and it is be.
lieved that the robber or robbers took
it, with other valuable papers, from
the pouch.

CLAIMS AGAINST HAWAII.
Chinese and japanese Want Pay for Property
Destroyed During Bubonic Plague.

Washington, Dec. 29.-It is expect
ed that Governor Cole, OF Hawaii, will
make a recommendation to the Hawaii
an legislature, which meets in Febru.
ary, for the settlements of the claims of
Chinese and Japanese growing out of
the destruction of their properly at
Honolulu at the time of the bubonic
plague outbreak. 1t appears that the
Chinese claims are less than was at
first estimated, and that the total Of
the Chinese and Japanese claims are,
approximately, 81, 10000 The Chi
nese government has not been in a
condition, of late, to exert pressure in
behalf Of the claims Of its citizens, but
the Japanese authorities have been &C.
lively looking ont for the losses sus-
taine.l by their countrymen, and now
seem to be in q fair way of securing
partial remuneration. Governor Dole
suggested a short time ago that the
matter be referred to the Hawaiian
legislature, and this was approved by
the officials here as the best means OF
adjusting the matter. There appears
TO be little doubt that the legislature
will authorize settlement.
