Bureau and thus obtain the arrears if he
can secure the allowance of his claim
| there.
NJ. l. s., Denver Celo.-If the circum-
stances attending the disappearance of the
husband are such US 10 raise Il prcsump-
ton that he is in nil probability deceased,
the Pension Bureau will not require di-
vorce on grounds of desertion, in order for
the widow TO secure the restoration of
her former pension in accordance with
the terms of the act of March 3, 1901.
A Subscriber, Montana.-1f the soldier
deserted from his only enlistment, he can
obtain no pension under any law unless
the charge of deSertion can be removed
and Il discharge obtained. Whether this
can be done would depend on the circum-
stances of the case.
s. s., North East, Pa.-The ex-prson-
ers of war pension bill has never been
enacted into law. Such a bill was in
troduced in the present Congress and re-
ferred to committee. 1t is hardly likely
that it will be reported.
W. G. T.. Hanover. Mass.-The act of
March =, 1895, relative to accrued pension
of deceased pensioners, makes no refer
ence to guardians or money of the pension
er in possession at the date of the pen
Sioner'S death.
l. j. S. c.. Wilsonville, Conn.-See re-
ply to J. p. c., above. There has been
no change IN the law IN this respect.
Farragut.-By applying for invalid pen
sion under the act of June %, 1890, a rat
ing can be had on disabilities not proven
due to the service. This fact enables many
TO secure higher ratings under the act of
1890 than they have been able to obtain
under the general law, especially if they
are well along in years and their disabled
condition is partially due to age. In your
case it would probably he well to apply
again under the act of 1890, even though
you were rejected under the last Clevc-
land Administration.
c. H, ROsebank, n. Y.-See reply to
$. s., above. 1t is not customary to sub
ject all pension cases to investigation by
Special Examiner of the Pension Bu-
reau. Such an investigation is conducted
only in claims in which there is doubt as
to the merit, or in which IT seems to the
Pension Bureau impossible to determine
the merit without such investigation.
III. s., Alton, Ohio.-Men drafted for
one year in the war of the rebellion were
not entitled to any bounty. The only
drafted men entitled to bounty were those
drafted for three years. Volunteers en-
listed for one year after July II, 1864,
were entitled to 500 bounty. if they
served the full term or were discharged
before its expiration by reason of wound
or injury incurred in the service and line
of duty.

FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY.
FittingIy Honored by Prince Henry at
Mount Vernon.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Prince Henry
of Prussia ~jou"neyed to Mount Vernon
yesterday afternoon and placed two
wreaths on the tomb of Washington.
He approached the grave of the first
president with barred head, and that
there might be nothing %irreverent in
the ceremony, asked the holders of a
dozen cameras who stood around, to
refrain from photographing HIN. The
royal visitor and party were taken to
Mount Vernon by special train ovey
the Washington, Arlington and Mount
Vernon electric railway. AT the con
clusion Of the memorial services at the
capitol, Prince Henry walked to the
Washington home and was driven
from there down over the slope of the
hill to the tomb. When the iron gate
of the tomb opened he removed his
cap and entered. Two large wreaths
made at Washington by his order, had
already been sent to the tomb, and.
taking them up, he formally set them
in place. A group of over a hundred
men that stood in the approach to the
grave, uncovered, Int that. with their
silence, added to the spirit of solemn.
ity. Fifty feet down the sward that
falls away from the tomb, Prince Hen,
ry planted a linden tree. The tree had
been set In place prior to his arrival,
and taking a spade, the prince filled
the earth in around it's roots. The
prince was taken to the old Washing,
ton house and there met a delegation
OF the Mount Vernon Ladies' associa-
ton. He spent a few minutes looking
at the Washington relics, and then de-
parted for Washington.
Large crowds watched his arrival
and departure, and his course through
historic old Alexandria was lined with
people, who cheered him cordially.

Frye said he had received a letter
from the senior senator from South

Electric tram cars Of American build
are about TO invade the land Of the
car. says the London Express.
To a syndicate composed entirely of
Americans the Russian government has
just made n of the most important
concessions ever granted any foreign
corporation. It has for its object the
electrification of the tram lines in st.
Petersburg, Moscow and several small
er cities in Russia.
Murray A. Werner of Pittsburg.
United States Of America, has been
conducting negotiations with the Rus
sian government on behalf of this syn
dictate, and the papers were signed by
y de White, Russian Minister of Fin
ance, a few days ago.
The value of the concession is over
100000. 900. and the syndicate
agreed to rebuild 315 miles of rail
road, in addition TO constructing new
lines in territory designated by the
government.
Mr.. Werner has been negotiating with
the Russian government for many
months. When a preliminary tender
was made by his syndicate over a year
ago to take over the tram lines n st.
Petersburg, another American syndi-
cate consisting principally OF New
York capitalists, made an ~nsuccess
full effort to secure the rights.
The Werner syndicate is composed of
men who have seen associated for
many years with the management OF
tram lines in the United States. Mr..
Werner and H. Sellers Mckee. one of
the largest stockholders, own valuable
tram lines in Pittsburg. indianapolis,
and several Western cities.
The work Of electrifying the Russian
tram lines will begin early next spring,
those in St. Petersburg being first
transformed. The overhead trolley
system will be adopted. the company
having found it more successful in the
operation of its American lines than the
so-called third-rail system.
The majority of the equipment will
probably be manufactured by the
Westinghouse Electric company in
Pittsburg. although a portion of the
contract may be placed with the Brit
ish Westinghouse company if their new
plant at Trafford park, neal Manches-
