SERVED WITH coNFEDERACY.
Union Soldiers Affected by Recent De-
cision About $500.

1.-The amount involved in pensions as
result Of the recent decision of the depart
ment, holding that veterans Of the Union
army who had previously served In the con-
federate ranks are entitled to pension. re-
CARELESS Of such previous service, will be
between $4,000 and 81 100000" said Judge
Frank L. Campbell, the assistant attorney
general for the Interior Department today.
THAT is the amount I figure on the best
information available to the department.
In the report Of the House committee on
pensions on this subject Is letter sent to
the committee by Mr.. H. Clay Evans, then
commissioner Of pensions. This was writ
ten in 1885, and stated that the total num-
Der of persons who could become benehcia-
ries under this provision could not possibly
be-over 1880.
These persons would average about $6
year. This letter speaks of the conditions
existing in the early COS. Now 1T is to be
assumed that many of the 4.SOO have since
died and that the claims OF many others
would be rejected on grounds other than
their confederate service.
1.-THE reduction In the number because of
disqualihcations on these two grounds men
toned probably would be at, least 800 or
400" - 81
Deputy Commissioner Davenport, how
ever, is Of the opinion that the ruling will
cost the government $10,0OO,OOO or more In
pensions. There is considerable difference
of opinion on the subject Of the outlay the
ruling involves.

MRS. STUART TO CONTEST WILL
Daughter Of Arioch Wentworth Dis
satisfied With Her Share.

BOSTON, March 23.-By the will of
Arioch Wentworth, the Boston real estate
millionaire, the estate, estimated at $1,000
600, with the exception Of few annuities,
goes to found an industrial school. The in
stitution is to be called the Arioch Went
worth Industrial School.
Mr.. Wentworth left daughter. Mrs Will
oughby Stuart, and two grandsons. Mrs
Stuart is to receive an annuity Of $4,000,
and each Of the young men is awarded an
annuity Of $4,000. The action of Mr.. Went
wort. who previously had made will leav-
ing all his property to his daughter, In
changing the disposition of his wealth, is
attributed to trouble arising from certain
financial transactions in which Mr. Stuart,
his son-in-law. was involved while acting
as British vice consul here last year, and
because Of which Mr.. Stuart was sent to
an asylum for treatment for mental trouble.
Mrs. Stuart will contest the will.

Natural Makers Of Wax.

If you would ask one hundred persons
to name the producers Of animal wax,
ninety-nine of them would. in all proba-
bility, stop when they had mentioned the
busy little bee," said an employee of the
Agricultural Department to Star man
this morning. But they would miss 1t by
a good deal. 1t is commonly supposed that
bees are the only animal wax makers Now,
the largest animal known to mankind in
this age Is an inyeterate wax maker The
substance is known as spermaceti, and is
made by none other than the whale. When
the sperm whale has been killed, the head
Is found to be filed with the waxy SUBJ
stance. Often In a good specimen buckets
full Of the spermaced are taken from the
head. which always brings a good price,
as there appears to be a never-ending de-
mand for the spermaceti. The Chinese get
the wax for making candles for the tenn
pies from little insect called the pela,
which lives on trees. and Is cultivated as
we do the honey bee in this country. There
are several other wax-making insects that
I cannot at the moment recall

Policeman Made Him Mad.

"a policeman tried to take me Off Of my
wagon Saturday and I swore at him. be-
cause it made me mad" was the explana-
ton made by Charles ]. Bateman when he
appeared in the Police Court this morning
to answer to a charge Of disorderely con-
duct. An additional charge of fast driving
was filed against Bateman. to which he
pleaded not guilty.
''fIe drove horse attached to a wagon
around the corner Of 9th and F streets
northwest at a very rapid rate Of speed
Saturday morning, and scattered the pedes-
TRANS like chickens" Crossing Policeman
Boteler testified. He was also on the
wrong side of the street, and when sug
gested that he drive me to the station house
he became violent and profane," the officer
added.
II admit that used strong language"
Bateman explained. but 1t was because
the policeman tried to arrest me for moth
ing"
1.-THE evidence convinces me that you
were very much in the wrong" Judge
Kimbal told him. Ten dollars in each
case"
In default of the fines Bateman will spend
two months on the farm.

Mastodon Remains.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
The finding Of mastodon remains near
Newburg, N. Y, has already been noted in
these columns. With these remains there
were found large numbers Of tree trunks
both in the muck and in the mari beneath
it, and in many cases the mastodon bones
were found resting on the trees. Most OF
the trees were so rotton that 1t was pos
sible to obtain only small fragments. One
specimen possesses curious interest. The
tree was lying three feet below the surface,
in muck. and was very soft and spongy;
and not only on the surface, but clear
through, was Of dark brown color, almost
that Of the muck, perhaps colored by the
fact that in section it is polygonal, while
the fiat faces of the trunk that made up the
polygon vary In number from fourteen to
sixteen. some of the faces merging into one
another at various points along the trunk.
This piece Of the tree Is about three feet
long. and when first dug out, about two
months ago. was nearly nine inches thick
at one end and six at the other; but 1t has
shrunk on drying out. until now 1t measures
five and three inches, respectively. No
other pieces. of this tree were found, all
though the adjoining layers Of muck were
carefully dug over and examined. in hopes
Of obtaining more OF it, Several Of the
other trees showed while still wet the
marks Of the teeth of animals, and 1t has
been surmised that this was the work OF
beavers. When dried. however, the tooth
marks became less distinct, and their st udy
was therefore. made difficult.

WE ALL EAT APPLES.
Figures Showing the Size to Which
Production Has Grown.

Production Has Grown.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
There are now in the United States over
200 600 fruit-bearing apple trees, pro-
ducing annually 176.O0o,00O bushels of APP
pies. In good crop years we export 100000
bushels of apples and consume at home
child in the country. These are the figures
given out from Washington. There are
sixteen apple-growing states which produce
la. 2S9. 424 bushels of apples. All the other
states together produce only %, 10I, 500
bushels. New York now stands first with
"a, Ill .257 bushels, Pennsylvania second
with 24.O60.651 bushels. Ohio third with 90
Gil, 4S0 bushels. Virginia fourth with $685.
0S2 bushels and Illinois fifth with 0. 17S. $50
bushels California is fifteenth In the list
with 3, 4SS, 20S bushels.
Ten years ago Ohio stood first among the
apple-producing states, Michigan second
and Kentucky third. In the last decade.
however, there has been heavy tree planting
in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Oklahoma. The increase
In the. several states and territories In ten
years was 81 GAL 900 trees. In the same ten
years the apple crop increased to 50 per
cent of all orchard fruits. In value OF
orchard products California leads all other
states G$14. 500, 1850. New York standing sec
ond. Pennsylvania third, Ohio fourth. ILL
nois fifth and Michigan sixth. These six
states, with Indiana, Missouri. Virginia and
New Jersey, raise 60 per cent of our or
chard fruits. measured by value. Michigan
stands first in peaches and California first
In plums. prunes, pears, grapes; oranges
and lemons. The apple is. as 1t always has
been, the most popular of American fruits,
and of all the orchard trees in the United
States 55 per cent are apple trees.

Sea Attacks on English Shores

Sea Attacks on English Shores.
From the London Chronicle.
The advance of the sea on our coasts has
always bulked largely in works on physical
geology, possibly by reason Of the fact that
Britain illustrates very typically erosion Of
this kind. Examples Of the disappearance
Of very large tracts of land are only too
numerous. The case of the Kentish coast
at the Receivers, that of Eccles, In NOT
folk; that of the Yorkshire coast with van
ished Hornsea Port Ravensvodd and many
more all testify to the success which at
tends the lnceSSant warfare OF the sea
against the land. Much depends, of course,
on the nature Of the formations attacked:
Chalk gravels and clay rapidly disappear,
while the harder basalts and GRANTEES defy
the waves successfully enough. A move
ment has been started in the direction OF
land salvage which has for its aim the pre-
yention of sea attack on the Suffolk and
Norfolk shores. The depredations there
have been Of very severe character of late
years, and naturally the owners of land &C
Quired In many cases for building purposes
at popular resorts look ruefully at the dis
appearance of their possessions beyond re-
call Probably in time the government will
awaken to a sense Of responsibility in this
matter seeing that 1t certainly amounts to
an affair of national import. Norfolk and
Suffolk have already called upon the state
to limit further inroads Of the sea, and it
Tense should at least be raised. No doubt
there are compensations. Here and there
the land gains, and man is able to reclaim
tracts from the sea, but, on the whole,
there is considerable balance to the credit
Of the ocean.

Interest Centers in the Testimony OF
the Widow.

BUFFALO, N Y, March 23.-The In
quest into the death Of Edwin L. Burdick
will be resumed by District Attorney Coats
worth and Police Justice Murphy this after
noon. Interest centers upon the appear
ance and testimony of the widow Of the
murdered man. 1t has been stated by her
lawyer that she will be a frank witness
and will do all in her power to aid the
authorities.
Other witnesses will be Lizzie Romance.
the domestic in the Pennell household; the
man who took care of the PenHeil furnace;
George C. Miller, attorney. in whose office
Pennell and Burdick had their last meeting,
and Alfred Brookman, who took care OF the
Burdick furnace Whether Miller Will Oh
vulge anything of interest Is regarded as
doubtful, as he may hold 1t as improves
s!onal to repeat any conversation that ne
might have had with Burdick In legal con-
sultation.
Mrs Hull, the mother Of Mrs, Burdick,
probably will be recalled before the inquiry
finally is closed.
He saw Burdtck about 6 o'clock on the
night Of his death. He did not say any
thing about having an appointment at his
house with any one. -
Mr. Burdtck carried q revolver. said the
witness. but so far as he knew there nad
been no threats Of violence against Buroick
by Arthur r. Pennell. the correspondent III
the divorce suit.
At one of the conferences in his office
Mr.. Pennell had made yelled threat at
suicide but never used words Implying
that that was his intention. Pennell nao
never threatened to kill himself and Mrs
Burdick.
Henry ]. Orrett, the Pencil furnace man.
was called. His testimony was unimport-
ant and Miss Lizzie Romance, Mrs. Pen
nell's maid, took the witness stand.

CASTRO SUSTAINED
Had Made Himself Unpopulas by Inn
position Of Heavy Taxes, Especially
Export Tax On n Coffee.

Nothing further Has been heard here from
Mr. Russell. our charge At Caracas, vene-
zuela. respecting the situation at that capt.
tai resulting from President Castro.s resig-
nation In view OF the fact that President
Castro's brother Is the next In line Of sue
cession in the event that his resignation is
adhered to not much change in the vene-
zuelan policies are looked for as a result Of
this last move. 1t Is known that Castro
completely dominates his brother. and it is
not assumed that his influence will disap-
pear in the event of his Brother's accession.
But the officials here are quite confident
that the Venezuelan congress will still re-
fuse to accept the resignation and that
Castro will remain In Office, and. in fact,
MS power VIII be greatly augmented by the
FORTH =.
A plausible explanation of Castro's mo-
tive offered by those here who are familiar
with venezuelan affairsSis that he wished
the venezuelan congress to assume. or at
least TO share the responsibility for the
very heavy increase in taxation which he
(Castro) has decreed since the raising Of
the blockade.
Thirty per cent increase of import taxes
was one OF the burdens laid upon the peo-
ple but even that was less q subject Of
complaint than the imposition Of a heavy
export tax on coffee which almost stopped
exports. Indeed. the coffee raisers declared
that the allies blockade was less onerous
than Castro's export tax These complaints
augmented and strengthened the revo-
lutionary movement and threatened to
make Castro personally very unpopular
He could not. without stulttfying himself.
repeal the new taxes, and the only course
ieft open to him was to place congress in
the position Of approving his acts. which it
ala by declining to accept his resignation.
1t is not felt here that the protocols al
ready negotiated by MI. Bowen and those
winch remain to be perfected are seriously
ENDANGERED by Castro's action, and. at any
rate. MI Bowen will proceed on the con-
powers are derived from the Venezuelan
government and not from an individual.
Consequently he will be ready to resume
negotiations with the British and German
ambassadors when they notify MIN of their

LOOKING FOR GEN. BRAGG.
Suspicious Actions Of Two Cubans at
Fond du Lac.

CHICAGO. March 23.-A dispatch to the
Inter Ocean from Fond du Lac, Wis. says:
Two Cubans registered at local hotel yes
terday as L. Alvarez and B. Rodriguez and
announced that they had come from Cuba
to find Gen. E. 8. Bragg, who was formerly
consul general at Havana. and who was
removed and sent to Hong Kong because
of alleged remarks expressing doubt as to
the intelligence Of the Cubans. They did
not appear to be bent on peaceful motive
and the police officials were notified. 1t
appeared to have escaped the notice Of the
Cubans that Gen. Bragg had already de-
parted for the Orient.
While the Cubans went to find General
Bragg's residence with police on their track,
a detective searched their room. He found
copies Of newspapers which contained ref
erences to Gen. Bragg's utterances. and
three old revolvers were hidden under a
mattress. A heavy dagger was lying on
the dresser Both men were we'll dressed.
The two men. while the room was being
searched. went to the home Of Gen. Bragg
and began trying the doors and windows,
but soon found that the residence was un-
occupied. The police ordered the men to
leave town unless they could give a reason
able excuse for their visiting Fond du Lac.
The men at once left the city.
