PENSION FUND BOARD
HEARS FIREMEN'S CLAIMS
Technically of an Employees Status
Referred to City Attorney Be-
fore Action Is Taken.


The Board of Fire Commissioners,
sitting as the Pension Fund Board,
yesterday afternoon heard the claim
of ]. d. Harrington, a machinist en-
ployed at the Corporation Yard. for
pension during the period of his ill
ness resulting from injuries caused by
falling from ladder while at work in
the yard.
The Pension Board decided that al
though the claim might be a just one,
the status of Harrington as a mem
Der Of the Fire Department was not
quite clear, so the case was referred
to the City Attorney.
Harrington showed that he was a
member of the relief companies or
ganized to supplement the main force
on the occasion of a general alarm.
This caused a joking refernce by Com
missioner Parry to phantom compa-
nies," whereuDon President Boyne en-
tered into a TRADE against one of the
afternoon papers, that had accused
him of organizing the so-called com
panies.
The widow Of Edward F. Dougherty
was granted a pension by the Board
of Fire Commissioners. Dougherty
was the engineer on engine No. 81,
and was fatally injured while on his
way TO a fire on August 13, 1902. He
died September 7, 1903, and a question
was brought up as to the reading of
the law. The Commissioners decided.
however, to allow the pension.
Acting Lieutenant F. H. Kenny was
before the Commissioners on charges
or absence from duty without permis-
sion and failure to obey orders. He
left his post at a downtown fire, and
was not heard from for a week. 1t
was subsequently learned that he had
been sick and had made arrangements

RUSSIANS NERVOUS WRECKS.
Captain of the ROssia Broken Down
by the Tension.

CHELIABINSK, Russia, Oct. T.
Captain Andreieff of the Russian ar
mored cruiser ROssia of the Vladivos-
tok squadron passed through Chelia-
binsk on October on his way to
Eastern Russia. He is suffering from
acute nervous prostration, the result
cf terrific tension during the naval
fight on August IA with the Japanese
fleet under Admiral Kamimura, fol-
lowing the departure of the Rossia,
Gromoboi and Rurik from Vladivos-
tok.
The same ailment affects many of
the wounded, who are being invalided
home and who look like living
corpses.

October T. says there has been no
change II the general situation. The
blockade of Port Arthur appears not
to have been so effective, as a number

MAY GO BY THE HORN.
New Route Is Proposed for Russia's
Baltic Fleet.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct THE
question of sending the Baltic Sea fleet
to the Far East by way Of Cape Horn
is advocated by a strong party at the
admiralty on the ground that after
passing the Strait of Magellan their
progress could not be dogged and re-
ported by cable. The colliers could
rendezvous in the South Seas at some
Pacific island. The main risk would
be that in the vast stretch the vessels
might be beaten off their track and the
danger of a serious breakdown of some
of the ships, although the transport
Kamchatka is equipped with ap-
pliances for making extraordinary re-
pairs.
The selection of this route would be
tantamount to a decision not to reach
Vladivostok in the spring, long voy-
age requiring economical speed for at
least four months.

PRELIMINARY QUERIES.

The first board of inquiry merely
went into the preliminary details, but
the second sitting resulted in an order
for sweeping changes Of employees. The
transfers do not necessarily mean that
every man assigned to another post is
under suspicion, but simply that the
administration is determined to have
the transport service clear of any
scandal.
The resignation Of Harry T. Scott,
purveyor Of the army transport SER
vice, was not due to the difficulties that
resulted from his recommendation of
certain men for deckhands on q. trans
port Scott had, several months prior
to the trial of the case, arranged to
become partner in the Western Ware
house Company. The true inwardness
of the employment cases lies in the in
vestigation that is soon to be con-
Quoted from Washington, concerning
which, however, nothing is officially
known at the local army headquarters
or by the quartermaster.
Certain witnesses, perhaps reliable
and perhaps otherwise, have reported
that jobs on transports have been for
sale for months past and that the
money was not demanded by employ
ment agents, either. Another question
for investigation, and it is now in the
hands Of the War Department Is the
bleeding of soldiers and officers by
transport employees, who have made a.
practice of holding OUT food provided
by the Government to which the army
is entitled and selling it to the men.
Captain Charles Baker will have
charge of the quartermaster's depot at
Manila. Clerk Knox has been dis
charged, ostensibly for intoxication.
and a wholesale transfer of men has
been going on. Though not the slight
est shadow of suspicion can be cast
upon Depot Quartermaster Devol, in
the general shakeup that is to come IL
is expected that he will be promoted to
an Eastern station.
An Eastern man is now on his way
here to take Captain Bakers place and
he is said to have authority to 'ook
into certain papers purporting to be
copies of correspondence and books
that show cleverly devised system ot
'stand-in' and graft" that may seri-
ously affect the records of some of the
Government employees and which has
cost the Government hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.

THE WILLY JAPANESE
SAID TO HAVE EMPLOYED DIVERS
TO MOVE SUBMARINE MINES
IN HARBOR ENTRANCE.
Torpedo Boat Creeps Steadily to With
in Short Distance Of Entrance of
Port Arthur. When Men Clad in
Diving Suits So Shifted the Mines
As to Render Charts Useless.

London. April 1.-THE report has
been received that the daring Japan
csc have been moving the Russian sub,
marine mines outside of Port Arthur
under cover of darkness. Many of the
men aboard the Japanese warships
have been sailors or fishermen all their
lives and are as much at home in the
water as fishes.
1t is believed that a torpedo boat
crept stealthily within a short distance
of the entrance of Port Arthur and
sem in a small boat manned by men
with diving suits some night during
the past week. Unless discovered by
the searchlights or patrol boats there
is no serious obstacle in the way of
competent men raising the anchor of
a submarine mine and moving it to
another pont. This having been done
the Japanese sent a part of their fleet
to maneuver in front of the port and
draw out the Russian war vessels in
the expectation that some of them
would strike the moved mines.
Except pom this hypothesis naval
experts are unable to account for such
a catastrophe as that which befell the
Petropavlosk. 1t is incredible that the
flagship, with the admiral on board,
should come out under q full head of
steam and cruise over a course where
mines were known to be.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
BY the Countess de Montaigu.

At the Worlds fair an ingenious Mis-.
souri, mar has a print shop built of
honey. of which he is the architect,
and the bees the builder. He repro
duced his office building in miniature
and turned his bees loose. In a few
months every facade. every nook and
corner was thickly covered with gold
en- honey. This odd exhibit is placed
in the palace of agriculture.
A number of great family reunions
will be features of the Worlds fair.
There will be a gathering of the Ty-
lers, the Ramseys,the Estills, the Rath-
buns and others. many of whom have
never met before. The Smiths are
lacking. If the management, with
wise ~forethought, had signihed that it
would be we'll for the Smiths to assem-
BILE together it would have Zen a mas.
ter stroke, and no doubt the admis-
sions would have been increased many
fold.
A remarkable piece of tapestry val
ued at 500, 900 is exhibited at the
Worlds fair. 1t was made by hand by
A. NJ. de Lynski, who consumed six
teen years in the work. The tapestry
measures 25 by - feet. and into that
space the artist has crowded a COM
plete illustrated history of the United
States. The pictures are executed in
silk, and the work was done partly in
Europe and partly in America. The
picture of the landing of Columbus is
very effective, as is also that of Ma
poleon ceding the territory of Louis
lana to the United States.
The St. Edmondsbury Weaving
works of Haslemere. England, has
sent some most exquisite productions
of their looms to the Worlds fair.
These fabrics of silk and satin in
clude a chalice veil of crimson satin
brocaded in gold thread with a SYM
bolic design. There are priestly vest
ments and hangings of silk and hand
tufted rugs. Also an altar front OF
green satin with woven devices in gold
! thread. Queen Alexandra recently or
dered an altar cloth of similar design,
red and gold being the combination
selected.
Ceylon sends many fascinating ar
ticles to the Worlds fair Tor woman's
adornment. There are splendid pig,
con blood rubies, opals, moonstones
and cabochon emeralds embedded in
barbaric settings OF red and yellow
gold. There is much curious work in
ivory, fans and small pieces of bric-a'
brac executed with that q%uaintness of
design for which oriental artisans are
renowned. There are queer Singalese
coins. cunning work in silver, sculp-
tured pillars and brass inlays. Lace
and aromatic oils are also displayed.
