WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-A bill will be
introduced i'm the next Congress providing
for an annual pension for Mrs. Mckinley
a long she lives. 1t is expected that
this measure will have no opposition; that
the only thing necessary will be to agree
upon a reasonable amount The annual
pension will probably be fixed at 5000 a
year, although double that sum may be
granted, as Congress will unique estionaby
be in generous mood.
The occasion will be utilized by the
friends of Mrs. Harrison. the widow of
President Harrison, asking for a pension
for her. This question has already been
broached by her friends to number of the
Indiana congressman, and they are wait
ing TO see what course will be approved
by the nearer friends of the late Presi-
dent. 1t is pointed out that opposition
may arise from the fact that she was not
the wife OF General Harrison while he
was chief magistrate 1t is understood
that General Harrison anticipated that
such an exception might be made, and he
therefore made a generous provision for
her in his will.
President Roosevelt began drawing his
salary as President on Sept. a. President
Mckinley did not die until o'clock of that
day, but the salary of that day will be
given TO MS successor, as ne became
President the moment Mckinley died. Con-
troller Of the Treasury Tracewell says
that it was not legally necessary for him
to take the oath of office in order TO draw
the pay OF perform the duties The sal
ary OF the President is divided into four
parts OF $l2,500 each. and this is divided
into monthly portions. For this month
the salary is $4,076.90. an average of
$135.39 2-3 per diem. The Mckinley estate
will receive 81, 1856 and Roosevelt 81
310.24.
The President of the United States is
paid by special check, which is mailed to
him about the 18th of each month. In
other words his salary is anticipated a
few days. No other person in the employ
of the government receives pay in advance.
The exact amount involves one-third of "A
cent. Inasmuch as it is impossible to cash
such cheks they are made for a fraction
OF a cent too large one month and a frac-
ton 10 small the next. In paying Cleve-
land a clerk forgot to reduce the check
ury books out of keller, and for a long
time there was much digging Finally il
was discovered check for one cent
was sent to Mr.. Cleveland, but ne kept it
without cashing IL. Consequently the
treasury books still show that discrepancy.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Rural free de-
livery service has been ordered to be estab-
lished, to begin Nov. 1, at Washington,

population served, 1885; number of houses
on routes. 379; carriers, B. +. Brown. l. 5.
Steen and c. G.. Mcdonald. Postoffice at
Trainer to be discontinued; postoffices at
rural carrier; mail to Washington.
The complaint of the natives of Tutuila,
forwarded to Washington by Lieut.. Dorm,
has been adjusted. 1t appears that Captain
Tilley being short of cash, was obliged to
give personal notes in payment for the land
and arms OF the natives, taken under
treaty. BY drawing on the emergency fund
for 5000, the appraised value of the arms
taken from the natives, this account has
been settled, and arrangements have been
made for securing the money necessary to
pay for the lands, subject to the approval
of Congress at the next session. Nothing
can be done toward meeting the complaint
that trade is hampered by the uncertainty
OF the tariff rates until the Supreme Court
passes on the remaining insular cases and
finally determines the exact relation be-
tween the island and the United States.
