MIR. WARES RECOMMENDATION
Clerkships in Pension Office Discon-
tinued by the House.

No little surprise was manifested in the
office of the Secretary Of the Interior this
morning when 1t was learned that the bill
making appropriations for the legislative
executive and judicial departments OF the
government carried with 1t provision dis
continuing the positions of those clerks in
the pension office who are detailed for
other duties. This action was taken il is
said, on the recommendation of Commits
sioner Ware Of the pension bureau and
without the knowledge of Secretary Hitch
cock. Those closely associated with Secre-
tary Hitchcock declare that he was very
much displeased with Commissioner Wares
action. Every effort will be made by the
Secretary and his friends to have the pro-
vision recommended by Mr. Ware remov-
ing the clerks stricken out of the bill in
the Senate.
The bill, as 1t now stands, affects about
twenty clerkships, it is said, and the in
cumbents thereof are rendering the gov
ernment full service in the places where
they are now detailed Their services are
absolutely necessary, it is said, for the
proer conduct of the business of the gov
ernment. and If they are cut off from the
pension bureau they will be added to some
other branch of the department.
In the meantime Secretary Hitchcock
has decided not to act on any of the rec
concentrations of Commissioner Ware for
ton has been taken in the matter now be-
fore the Senate. This action is taken be-
cause the Secretary does not see the ne
cessity for appointing new clerks If the
Congress cuts down the force he has. He
will hold up the recommendations until
such time can be determined whether
or not these clerks will go into the service
in the manner recommended by Mr.. Ware
for them, or whether they will be ap-
pointed to take the places Of the clerks
that are dismissed by'reason Of the action
of the House, should the Senate concur.

PLACED UNDER THE BAN.
Fraud Orders Issued Against the Chi
cago Silver Company.

The Chicago Silver Company of Chicago
has come under the ban of the Post Office
Department for violation of the postal
laws. a fraud order having been issued
against 1T today. More than a dozen COM
plants daily have been for some time re-
ceived from persons who claim to have been
defrauded by this company, and the post
master at Chicago says that the mail of
the concern amounted to about 5000 letters
daily.
The design of the company, as outlined by
the office of the assistant attorney general
for the Post Office Department. was to dis
pose of certain very Inferior articles under
the guise of distribution of prizes in q
premium contest conducted by it. The COM
pany purchases letters from letter brokers,
clips the signature therefrom and inclOses
such signature with one of its circulars to
the person whose address has been thus
obtained These circulars represent that
the company has made up its list of sue
cessful competitors, who get magnificent
four-pece set of silverware. The set is sub
ject to the order of the winner when 9S
cents shall have been sent to cover the
cost of packing and shipping. On the cir
cular are printed pictures of a silver tray,
coffee urn, sugar bowl and cream pitcher.
What the victim gets for 9S cents is 3
spoons and fork. They are very cheaply
made and their sale at 9S cents yields the
company a handsome profit

TO HELP WARSHIP WORK.
Manager Smith Returns Home With
Gratifying Reassurances.

PHILADELPHIA, December 1O.-Som-
mers N. Smith, general manager and one
of the receivers of the Neaf1e & Levy Ship
building Company, today returned to this
city from Washington. where he had gone
to ascertain the government intention re-
garding the company.
Mr.. Smith saw Secretary of the Navy
Morton and the quarterma ster general, and
they both assured him they would aid
the receivers in every way possible, as far
as the warship work at the shpyard was
concerned They told him there need be
no interruption whatever In the construc-
tion of the vessels.
The attorney for the receivers said to-
day that the policy Of the government In
holding back 10 per cent OF all monthly
payments on account Of work done on war
vessels had been abandoned in contracts
being made now.
Formerly the inspectors from Washing
ton estimated the amount Of work done
every thirty days on the ships, and the
builders received this amount minus 10 per
cent. In the case of the st. Louis, said
counsel, the amount of cash was probably
in excess of 100000, which was big handi-
cap to the company.

arrest Of Capt. Clydo yesterday evening by
order of the Grand Duke Alexis, the high

LAST DAY OF THE RACE.
Three More Teams Quit Bicycle Contest
Furious Pace.

NEW YORK, December 10-Owing to the
furious pace which had been kept up dur
ing the night the Dussot-Mazan, Palmer
Agraz and Downing-L -Linberg teams where
compelled to abandon the contest in the last
day of the six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden today. The last two of these
teams have dropped hopelessly in the rear
and during the early morning lost lap after
lap, leaving the track from time to time II
is not at all unlikely that the Keegan-Lo-
gan team will be forced to retire during

state. Throughout the night he had been
riding poorly, wobbling from time to time,
and causing the other riders great annoy
ance
The night was a quiet one, nothing of
note having transpired beyond some sharp
sprinting during the early morning hours.
The team composed of Turville and Met
ting lost another lap during the hour be-
tween and 8 o'clock. The other riders
Turvile and Melting gradually dropped be-
hind until they were Tapped. This puts Tur-
vile and Melting practically out of the
race, as they are now five laps behind the
leaders Root and Dorlon and Stol and Van
derstuyft.
Root. stol and Williams were setting the
pace early today.
At am today the Vanderstuyft- and
Root-Dorlon teams had covered 2.15S miles

miles laps; the GouglotZ- Breton, Keegan-
