600 Of the 1O-cent. AS soon as the bureau
OF engraving and printing can print them
they will be forwarded to the different dis
tributing centers of the postal service and
from there sent to all of the Offices of the
country as they are called for by the post
ms sters. The sale of Cthese stamps will
continue while the exposition at st. Louis
is open. LiVingstons portrait was placed
on the 1-cent stamp because he was the
United States minister to France at the
time of the transfer of the property and
conducted the negotiations. Thomas Jeffer-
son was the President of the United States
at the time and James Monroe was special
ambassador to France empowered to con-
clude the purchase.
McKinley's face appears on the scent
stamp because he was President at the time
the legislation was enacted that connected
the government with the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition and signed the act in his
official capacity. and the significance of the
map showing the territory is self-evident.
1t is not generally known that a special
issue Of postage stamps is a fine investment
for the government though there is no
activity displayed to secure the issue. The
profit comes from the fact that philatelists
buy as many of the new issue as they can
carry and hold them for the certain rise
that is sure to come when the issue is ex-
hausted. These stamps are therefore not
used. and the government having sold
them at their face value profits accord
ingly, the only cost being the value of the
paper. the glue. the printing and the ink.

FUNERAL OF DANIEL TINDALL.
Was a Union Veteran and Member OF
Masonic Fraternity.

The funeral of Daniel TindaI, whose
death occurred yesterday afternoon. will
he held tomorrow afternoon from the late
residence, S11 Z street southeast. Inter-
ment will be made in Congressional GEM
etery. and the funeral will be private. The
pallbearers will be selected from among
the members of the Masonic fraternity,
which will have charge of the burial serv-
ice.
Mr.. Tindall was a brother of DR.. William
Tindall secretary to the board of District
Commissioners For many years he was
clerk of the Washington asylum. He had
been i'll several weeks but within the past
few days his condition had improved, and
hopes for his recovery were entertained by
the physician and the family. A sudden
change for the worse, however, occurred
yesterday morning, and death came late in
the afternoon.
Daniel Tindall served In the Union army
during the civil war in Company 1, 14th
Illinois Infantry. He took part in the bat
ties of Forts Henry and Donaldson and of
Pittsburg Landing, being seriously wounded
at the latter battle. He reioined his regi-
ment before his wound healed, and partici-
pated in the campaign which eliminated in
the investment of Vicksburg and in the
siege OF that stronghold of the confeder-
acy. Later he took part in the battle Of
Hatchie river. from which he was returned
to the hospital. His wound did not heal
for several years following the war, and he
never fully recovered from 1t.
Mr.. Tindall had been a resident of the
District for many years

OLD e.. P. o. BUILDING.
Inspection Made by Senators Scott and
Latimer-Probable Report.

Senators Scott and Latimer. appointed by
the Senate committee on public buildings
and grounds TO make an inspection of the
old government printing Office building, have
agreed upon their report and will submit 1t
to the committee probably one week from
tomorrow. This report would have proba
bly, gone before the committee at it's meet
ing tomorrow. but Senator Scott was obliged
TO go to Chicago to attend the meeting of
the subcommittee of the republican ma
tiOnal committee to make arrangements for
the holding of the convention He will be
back on Monday, and will then find the
report. which II to be written by Senator
Latin;er.
Senator's Scott and Latimer agreed to
recommend TO the committee on public
buildings and grounds that the old govern
ment printing Office building at North cap
itol and III streets be torn down because of
its dangerous condition, and the fact that
il is so combustible that a fire in 1t might
result in serious harm to the new building.
corner of North Capitol and G streets and
also to the newly built addition on Fl street.
The committee went over the building and
made quite a thorough examination of con-
dtions there. They found that the walls
We're but La inches thick at the base mar
rowing 10 Ii inches and then to inches at
the roof
These walls. in a building constructed as
is the government printing office, were re-
garded as altogether inadequate for sup
porting the weight of the structure. 1t
was also found that some or the fd1terS
relied upon TO support considerable weight
had become displaced IN such way as to
render the building absolutely in danger of
collapse should heavy weights be placed in
1t.
These conditions indicate that the build
ing is wholly inadequate for any purpose
of storing public documents. That Is one or
the uses to which the building, it has been
thought might be put, but the committee
report shows that if such use is made OF II
it will be against their protest.
The subcommittee will recommend not
only that the old building be torn down
but that Mr.. Elliott Woods. superintendent
of the Capitol. be instructed to prepare
plans for a new building to take its place,
to conform generally to the building just
completed at North Capitol and G streets
This recommendation will also require MI
Woods to prepare estimate of the cost
of such building.
1t is believed at the Capitol that the sem
tIment of the committee will favor the
adoption of the subcommittee report and
that the committee will favor an apprepr1-
alton at this session of Congress for build
ing a new government printing office, espe-
cially as more space IS needed for doing
the work there

STEAMER DISABLED.
Boat of Norfolk and Washington Line
Loses Big Propeller.

AS the steamer Washington of the Nor
folk and Washington line was coming up
the river early this morning on her way to
this city she either broke or lost her big
propeller wheel between River View and
Fort Washington, disabling the big steamer
SO that she could go neither backward nor
forward AS soon as the news of the acci-
dent reached this city Manager John Cal
lahan dispatched the tug Camilla to the aid
of the disabled steamer.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by Ice, which is particularly heavy
about Fort Washington. The steamers
Norfolk and Washington have been run
ming on their regular schedule throughout
the entire winter, and this is the first
trouble the line has experienced In. the ice.
The accident will not cause any Interrupt
ton In the schedules Of the steamers, as
the Newport News will take the place OF
the disabled steamer on the route, and
will leave here this evening at $50 as usual
The manager of the Randall line was seen
this afternoon and requested to send one
of the steamers Of Its line to aid the dis
tressed boat

RANKS AS PRECEDENT
CORPORATION CoUNSEL'S oPIN-
ION ON POLICE PENSIONS.
Commissioners Without Authority in
Certain Circumstances-An APP
plication for Retirement.

Cooperation Counsel A. b. Duvall has sub
mitted to the Commissioners an opinion
which is regarded as establishing prece-
dent in dealing with police pensions. Mr.
Duvall holds that the Commissioners are
without authority to grant policeman
pension until they are fully convinced that
he has received an injury or contracted a
disease in the line or while actually en-
gagged in the performance of his duties, or
that he has become so permanently dis
abled after having served fifteen years as
to be discharged from service therefor.
This opinion is submitted on the applica-
ton of Policeman c. B. Peyton, who asked
to be retired on a pension. The case has
been before the Commissioners, the major
and superintendent of police and the cor
poration counsel for several months, and
the papers in the case make bulky bun
die. The effect of the opinion is that the
Commissioners cannot grant Mr.. Peyton a
pension, although they have evidenced a
desire to do SO, because of the nature OF
the case.
1t appears from the papers that Peyton
was passed for an appointment by the
board of police surgeons, and several
months after his appointment on the force
he became unable to perform his duties.
There seems to have been question as to
whether or not the officer contracted any
disability because of his work on the force.
The Attorneys Opinion.
The superintendent of police and the
Commissioners, because of certain consid-
Grafton, seemed inclined to permit Peyton' 8
retiring on a pension, in case 1t could be
properly arranged. In his opinion the cor
poration counsel says:
The District Commissioners are in no
wise bound by the action of the board of
police surgeons in mistakenly passing an
applicant for appoin tment to the police
force, when they come to consider the
question whether an applicant so passed
is entitled TO pension or allowance out
of the police fund and the question as
to whether the applicant attempted to de-
ceive the surgeons would not enter into the
case.
'"Fhe appointment of a policeman based
upon such mistake of the police sur
geons, would give rise TO no contractual re-
lation which would require the Commits
sioners to grant the policeman a pension.
service the force of either short or long
duration. any interest in the police fund
mo policeman has any interest, more
than mere expectancy. in this fund, until
Il is clearly shown that he has received an
injury or contracted disease in the line
of duty, or that he has become so perma-
nently disabled, after having served not
less than fifteen years, as to be discharged
from service therefor" e.
The corporation counsel also holds that
the OmmisSioners have no discretionary
power to allow pension to a policeman
except upon proper proof that he has re-
ceived an injury contracted disease in
the line of duty.
