B0NDH0LDERS SLOW
SEEKING REDEMPTIoNS
Only 0ne-Third of Amount Outstand-
ing Has Yet Been Offered.

Treasury officials are somewhat sur
prised over the slowness of the holders
Of the per cent bonds of 1904 to re-
spond to the offer of. Secretary Shaw TO
pay up in advance the value OF the bonds
with interest to the time of maturity,
February /.
Secretary Shaw made this offer on
September g. Up TO date. Sl3. 252 900 OF
the bonds have been presented for re-
demption. This is only about two-thirds
Of the amount outstanding when the
offer was made. September !. the amount
Of these bonds outstanding was SIS, 3S5, coo.
Thus il appears about one-third OF the
bOnoholders have not seen fit to avail
themselves of the opportunity to con-
vert their bond holdings into cash and
for four months they have left their
money lie practically idle and lost the
interest upon it. Distrust of their abili-
~ to find any suitable investment for
their money now in bonds is the chief
explanation given.

WARE ATTACKS
PENSION LOGIC
New Decision Made Upon
Wounds and Results.
AGAINST TWO AMOUNTS
Commissioner Upsets Old Procedure
in Disposing of the Case of
a Kansas Veteran.

Commissioner Ware has made a de-
cision in pension cases which has
caused some complaint on the part Of
those who have got less payments than
the examining boards have reported.
The Commissioner decision is based
on the ground that a report that man
Is entitled TO one sum for wound. re-
ceived and an additional amount for
the results of the wound Is poor law
and poor pension logo.
The matter &C me UP In the case of a
Kansas pens.caer named Welch, on
whom the ply sicians of the examining
boaru reported and advised that he be
paid SO month.
When --Er papers came to the depart
ment, Commissioner Ware reduced the
pension to so, which was recommended
for injuries resulting from a gunshot
wound in the left breast, which became
depressed. The board also recon
mended an additional SO for injuries to
the lung.
In his decision the Commissioner says:
THE S24 has been allowed because IF
the wound: but the additional pension
cannot be allowed. because the condi-
ton of the lung became a factor In fix
ing the amount of pension"

recommendations of examining boards.
the Commissioner says:
The bureau is not bound by the rec
concentrations or opinions of examining
boards. but is governed by the descrip-
ton given and the facts disclosed, rather
than by the recommendation made.
The Commissioner is of the opinion.
however, that IL the results of the
wound grow worse to a considerable
degree, the applicant can be re-exam-
lned and the bureau will then consider
his application for q larger pension on
the new facts disclosed.

PANAMA YIELDS
TO GOOD ROADS
Senator Latimer Speaks on
the Subject.
SHARP PARLIAMENTARY TILT
MI. Newlands Criticises the President
On His Policy in the
Isthmus.

The Senate today. after a short time
devoted to routine business, heard a
long speech by Senator Latimer Of South
Carolina, one Of the newest members
or the body. on the subject of good
roads. He took the floor in consequence
OF notice given several days ago that
on January II he would submit his
views on Senate resolution No 10 in
troduced by himself.
The South Carolina Senator gained the
Cnalr's recognition after a somewhat ex-
tended parliamentary discussion.

motion in order that the debate on the
Fenama resolutions might be continued.
The German resolution. which was IN
der discussion yesterday and led 70 III

Mr. Depew. who had announced late

guessed in the motion and awaited the
END Of the South Carolinian's speech.
When Mr.. Latimer concluded his re-
marks at lao o'clock Mr.. NewIands Of

marks were in criticism of the Presi-
dents action in recognizing the new re-

airy l. 1906, the time in which claims Of
States for the raising OF troops during

WRECK IN ARKANSAS.
Smoke From Forest Fires obscured
 View of Track Ahead.

Little Rock, Ark. November 22-A spe- cial to the Gazette from Hot Springs says:
 Passenger train No. 1T, south bound, from St. Louis, known as the Hot Springs special, on the St. Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern railroad, today ran into an extra freight train which was taking a siding ot Swifton, a small town twenty miles south of here.
 Harry Wells, fireman on No. II, was burned to death, and Engineer A. De- guire of the same train was badly hurt, his arm being broken. Four passengers, whose names are not obtainable, were seriously injured. Fifteen other passen- gers were bruised and otherwise slightly injured
 The train was running about thirty eight miles an hour when the accident occurred.
 The passenger engine was demolished and three coaches and ten freight cars loaded were burned.
 The wreck was caused by the density of the smoke from the forest fires, mak- ing 1t impossible to see twenty feet ahead.
 Vice President Clark and General Man aeer Sullivan and Trainmaster Walton went to the scene of the wreck on a special train.
 The estimated loss is $1OO.0O0
