H. CLAY EVANS, the Commissioner of
Pensions, has placed his resignation
in the hands of President Roosevelt,
He is said to be slated for position in
the diplomatic service but will remain
in his present position until his sue
cessor is chosen. For the last four
years the old soldiers have been maxi
ing fight on Evans because they OBJ
jected to the manner in which the PEN
sion laws we're administered and re-
peated efforts have been made to have
the Commissioner removed. Many in
vestigations. have been made of the
Pension office by officials of the G. A.
r. but no irregularities were ever found
which would justify his removal and
he leaves at last of his own motion.
General Torrance, Commander of the
G.. A. r., has been in consultation with
the President over the question of his
successor and the new commissioner
will probably be more acceptable to the
G. A. r. The G.. A. r. posts in Kan
sas, which has greater soldier popu-
lation and greater number of pen
sious than any state in the union, are
making an effort to have the new COM
missioner chosen from that state but
no choice has been made as yet. Both
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt had absolute confidence in
Mr.. Evans and it is said that there is
to be no change in the policy of the
Pension office.
