PENSION CLERKS vEXED
Many of Employees Real Angry
at Commissioner Ware.

New York. Oct. 23.-A special to the
World from Washington says.
A large proportion of the LOO clerks
employed in the pension bureau are dis
gruntled because of the bulletin issued
last week by Commissioner Ware COM
mending a clerk for not taking annual
or sick leave
The employees all feel that as the an
nual leave is given to them by law they
are entitled to it.
The dissatisfaction aroused by Com
missioner Wares action is intensified by
the fact that the clerk who received the
commendation is a Democrat and has
served in the bureau but about five
years. Many of the employees feel that
if the commissioner considered it was
necessary to issue such bulletin q good
Republican might easily have been
found to be thus honored

HOW TO VOTE
Code Of Instructions Which
Should Be Consulted.

IN card of instructions issued today
for the benefit of judges and clerks of
the coming election, Election Commis
sioner t. s. Williams gives the follow
ing statement of what invalidates a bal
lot, under the new law:
L 4 cross X mark shall be found
thereon outside of a circle or voting
square. or
-. II any mark shall be found there
on other than the cross x mark; or
j. If cross x mark shall be found
in the circle at the head OF ticket and
also in one or more voting SQUARES on
that or any other ticket; or
a. Il a cross x mark shall be found
IN two or more circles at the head of
different tickets: or
5. # a name or names be written
thereon other than the name of some
person whose name is not printed on the
ballot for whom the voter has voted in
the blank column: or
s. II more candidates have been
marked than there are persons to be
elected to an office; or
II If the ballot has been defaced or
torn b. the voters or
''S- II there has been erased from the
ballot any device, emblem, figure, letter,
or word or
80. If the ballot has been written upon
or marked with anything except pen
ell having black lead.
10. In making the cross x mark. one line
crossing another at any angle, within j
circle or voting square, is deemed a
valid voting mark.
The following rules for the manner of
conducting the election and counting
the vote are also given:
open the polls at 8 a. M, and close
them at p. m.
"All vacancies on the board must be fill
ed from the political party from which
the vacancy occurs; provided. there be
such willing to serve.
ALLOW no one to vote whose name does
not appear upon the registration books,
but send to the office for correction and
duplicate certificate.
Make careful examination of your
books before sending to the office, as we
| have found in the past that names were
overlooked by the judges.
Make one return Immediately to th=
commissioner of elections, with number
of voters names on poll book, together
with the number of votes tailed for each
candidate. The full board must sign this
return in order to get names for pay
roll.
"One tally sheet, properly signed by all
of the board, must be returned to the lty
clerk and the other to the county /srk
within "a hours from closing of the polls
'AIl supplies must be returned to the
officer from whom received
Heretofore. each name has had to be
| called off and tailed separately, ever
| though it was a straight ticket. Now
separate lines are put at the top of the
tally sheet, reading Straight Republican
Ballots" etc. A straight ticket is counted
by making one tally mark in the line at
ter these words When the count is com
pleted, the number sof these tally mark:
is counted and set down in a column aftel
the name of each candidate the ticket
/ Split tickets are counted as heretofore
THE new law specifically requires tina
the canvass of the votes shall commences
as soon as the polls are closed, and b'
continued without pOstpOnement or ed
iournment until completed. The genera
ballots are to be counted and the result
announced before the other ballots arr
| counted" .

TAKES NO CHANCES.
Mr.. Hanbury Declines to Open Ports
to Argentine Cattle.

London. Oct. 23.-Mr. Hanbury, presi-
dent of the board of agriculture. reply
ing to the deputation which waited upon
him today to request him to open Brit
ish ports to the importation of live cat
tie from Argentina, refused to do SO un-
til he was satisfied that no cattle dis
ease existed in Argentina and that the
Argentine government was taking prop
er steps to prevent the spread of the
disease in Argentina.
The deputation pointed out that the
Australian supplies were at their lowest
ebb because of prolonged drouths in
Australia, while the shipments of frozen
meat from the United States had con-
sIderably fallen off owing to the short
supply. Traders, they added, were now
compelled to pay IS to 100 per cent. more
for frozen meat than at the same time
last year. The only hope of relief was
the readmissiOn of live cattle from Ar
gentina.
Mr.. Hanbury admitted that it was his
personal belief that Argentine was at
present free from cattle disease. but he
was not satisfied that the government
of Argentina had taken the pracaution
to prevent its reintroduction. He was
pressing Argentina to adopt regulations
similar to the British. Meantime Ar
gentina was supplying more frozen beef
and mutton than ever before, and if the
importa ton of live cattle from that
country was allowed the dead meat i'm
ports would necessarily fall off proper
tionately
