PLANNING TO REoReANIzE.
The Traction Properties May Be Sold
Under Foreclosure

reorganization of the Washington
Traction Company will probably be ef-
fected before the close of the present year
according to a statement made yesterday
by Allan L.. McDermott the ex-presdent
and now the receiver of the company Mr.
McD ermott stated that in all probability
the properties of the corporation would
be sold under foreclosure proceedings, and
bought in by the large holders of stock.
The other alternative, according to Mr.
McDermott, would be an assessment on
the stock of the company which would
be necessary to pay off its floating in
debtedness, amounting to about 81, 800. 600
This would necessItate an assessment of
about SO a share on the stock of S12. 900, :
000 The main feature of the proposed re
organization was to refund the s13.C00.00O
of the outstanding AZ per cent bonds, by
an issue of 30 per cent preferred stock and
50 per cent per cent bonds Such plan.
which has not yet been reported. will
probably be reported later in the summer.
AIr. McDermott intimated that foreclosure
proceedings would be resorted to.
The act OF Congress of June, 1900, will
then be taken advantage Of he said.

dicate consolidated The Washington
Traction is now a stock and bond owning
company. and it win be able to conduct
the affairs of the roads to better advan-
tage after the consolidation has taken ef-
feet. The company has been operating
at a loss; hence the necessity for fore
closure The funded debt of the company
is in the neighborhood of SIS. .500, 600.
There seems to be necessity for fore
closure er an assessment said Mr.. Nc
Dermott. The present stockholders will

zation II they do not they viii stand in

terday of the reported forced resignation
of the Commissioner Of Pensions, II. Clay
Evans, said:
Commissioner Evans Is all right,
there's nothing wrong with him at all
He is unJustly blamed. If there is any
blame it should be placed on the medical
division of the Pension Office. This divi-
sion is filled with lot of young grad
yates of medical colleges who don't know
much about the human anatomy, and
much less of the sufferings of the old SOL
diers and the ways he has contracted
them. There are hundreds of cases placed
before Commissioner Evans every day.
and as he has to rely upon his subordin-
ateS' reports. he approves the records,
thinking that the cases have been prop
crly attended to and justly adjudicated.
But Commissioner Evans cannot be
blamed for the shortcomings of few of
the many clerks with him. The Medical
Referee Dr. Raub is said to be the Of
fetal whose place should be demanded.

CHINA CLAIMS INDEMNITY.
CeIestinIs Alleged to Have Suffered
Injuries in Montana.

The Chinese Government, through Min
lister Wu Ting-fang yesterday filed with
the State Department claims for indem-
nifty against the United States amounting
TO 100000 for alleged injuries suffered by
Chinese subjects at the hands of Ameri-
cans in Montana. Ex-senator Sanders of
Montana is the attorney for the several
hundred Chinese claimants.
The injuries complained of date back
TO 1886. when the miners union at Butte
Mon, declared a boycott against all Chi
nese in that place 1t is claimed that the
Chinese were subjected to insult and in
jury to their persons and their business.
An appeal was made to the city council
for protection, but the council passed
resolution endorsing the action of the
miners. Then an attempt was made by
the Chinese to secure a restraining order
on the boycotters and this also was re-
fused ny q State District Court An ap-
peal was taken to the United States Cir
cult Court and the judicial relief asked
for was granted
1t is contended, however that the al
legged persecution of Chinese continues
and pecuniary redress in the amount
named is asked.
