With Secretary Hay.

Lord Pauncefote, the British Ambassa-
dor. called at the State Department yes

FOR PENSION COMMISSIONERS.
Two Candidates Endorsed by the
Kansas Delegation.

The members of the Kansas Congress
sional delegation, in their efforts to secure
the appointment of a Pension Commits
sioner from that State have endorsed two
candidates, S. X. Peters and Richard w,
Blue. Each has been a representative in
Congress and the selection of either
would be acceptable TO the Kansans.
The action of the delegation in epdors-
ing the candidacy of two aspirants is
somewhat unusual. and it is said that 1t
may operate against the selection OF
either. The President has given the as
surance. however, that the matter OF
Commissioner Evans successor. If one is
to be appointed. will not be taken up until
after his return from the Western trip.
There is said to be no further evidence

case which is of considerable in
terest.
A man named Diffenbaugh died at
hamilton leaving an estate of about
$25, 900, and widow. Then came
a brother and claimed the estate
on the grounds that Mrs. Diffen-
baugh had never been legally
married to her husband. 1t seems
to be a fact that there was never any
marriage ceremony performed, but
Mrs. Diffen baugh, who was widow,
says that they agreed to live togeth-
er as man and wife, ard did so for
eleven years, until his death, and
proves this by witnesses. They sup
posed that this was all that was nee
essary. In common law where a
man lives with a woman and
presents her to the public as his wife
she is his wife so far as property
rights are concerned.
The depositions are taken here for
the reason that Mrs. Diffenbaugh is
visiting friends here and has friends
here who visited her there. All con-
cerned are people in good standing
