THE LAW OF JUNE q. 1890. AND THE NEW
"AGE" ORDER.
The laws Of June q. 1890, and May 8,
1900. provide for pension, according to
degree of disability, from So to $12 per
month for any soldier of the War Of the
Rebellion who served 80 days and was hon
orably discharged.
The new "AGE' Order simply says that
any claimant who has arrived at the age
of GO, or 65, or 6S, or 20, is presumed with
out further proof (and, inferentially, with
out examination) to be suffering disability
sufficient to warrant So month pension
at age of 90; So a month at age Of 65: $40
a month at age of 6s and $12 month at
age of 20.
To Those Who Have Never APP
piled for Pension.
We urge upon these comrades that
1t is their duty to apply. If many are so
well-to-do that they do not need it. they
can apply the money to help those who
do need it. Under this AGE"
Order an application can be made
that, in most cases. does not involve ex-
animation, which probably removes q fea-
ture that was Objectionable to many.

PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. Ruth Cleve-
land, the eldest child of former President

to-day very Unexpectedly, the immediate
cause of death being a weaknening of the
heart action during a mild attack of diph-
liberia. Dr. Wickoff. the attending ply
sician, said that Miss Cleveland had been
i'll with a mild form of diphtheria for four
days. and that the heart affection was not

years been the family physician of the
Clevelands, was summoned from New York
but did not arrive until after Miss CIeve-
lands death. Mrs. Cleveland is prostrated

received. The private school which Ruth

week In respect to her memory. The inter-
ment will take place tomorrow.

Cleveland home, conducted by Rev. Matt
land Bartlett. Mr. Cleveland. with Presi-
dent Finley. of the College of the City of

PEKING. Jan. s.-Major Nathan. an off,
Ger Of the British army who was second in
command Of railway transportation I'm the
Transvaal during the Boer war. has arrived
here. He travelled over the Siberian Rail-
way with the special view of ascertaining
the possibilities Of the road for the trans
portation of troops and supplies in the
event of war. Major Nathan made careful
observations and collected a great amount
of data. His opinion. based on his observa-
tions. is that the railroad would break
down, and that its administration would
find itself hopelessy confused within a
week under the stress OF war emergencies.
Nothing has developed here concerning the
nature OF the Russian reply. or to improve
in any way the view Of the situation held
in official circles. 1t is known tkre'y-e,tftrr

CONTENTS OF RUSSIA'S
REPLY NOT MADE PUBLIC

LONDON, Jan. S.-None OF the special
cabegrams from Toxic printed in this
mornings papers are able TO give the con-
tents OF Russia's reply. but all concur in

pears that the note might still have been

fection, had not Baron Komura, the Jap
anese foreign minister, visited the Russian
legation to get IL. Slender hope is stin
drawn from the fact that no other minis
terial conference at Toxic is fixed for to-
day, the presumption being that Japan will
make another remonstrance before proceed
ing to extreme measures.
According to the Standards Toxic cor
respondent, an increasing number OF steam
ships are being requisitioned daily as trans

The Times's Toxic correspondent. I'm a dis

banks and Representative Overstreet called
at the War Department to-day relative to

until a definite conclusion has been reached
