st. Petersburg, July 25.-The steam
er Malacca is at Suda bay, Island Of
Crete, where, under the agreement
reached between Great Britain and
Russia, she will be pertuilcto'ily In
spected jointly by The conslils Of the
two countries and released, together
with her cargo, unless palpable con
traband Of war intended for the Jap
anese shall be found, in which case
only the contraband will be held
British government stores aboard the
vessel will not be examined.
From the first, Russian authorities
were convinced that the captain Of
the Russian volunteer steamer st. Pet
ersburg must have had good reason
for selling the Malacca as a prize, and
his report, stating that the skipper Of
the Malacca declined to produce the
ships manifest, seems to have justi
fled their confidence.
There is reason to believe that, had
the fact been known In advance
that the Malacca's skipper took upon
himself the responsibility Of question

STILL UNDER ONE MILLION.
Pension Roll Does Not Exhibit The
Expected Increase.

Washington, July 23.-The annual
report Of the commissioner Of pen
sions for the fiscal year just ended
will present an array of statistical
tables, special orders, facts and fig
ures. Commissioner Ware is hustling
to get out his report He thinks he
will have the report ready for the
printer in the course of a couple Of
weeks, which will insure its publica-
tion month or six weeks earlier
than is customary. Contrary to gen
eral expectations, the Forthcoming re.
port of Commissioner Ware will state
that the total pensioners on the rolls
is still under 100000, AT the close
of the fiscal year, 1908, there were
999,545 pensioners. The adoption of
order No. 81 created the general i'm
preston that the pensioners would
reach 100000 in number this year.
Mr.. Ware has not yet received the
final and official figures for June, but
from unofficial estimates he believes
that the record for 1904 will be just
about what it was year ago, and
that the increase, If any, is small.
There is only one thing that keeps the
total below 100000, and that Is the
heavy mortality among the veterans.
They are dying off at a rapid rate, but
their places are filled by pensioning
widows and men with no other dis
ability than old age,
More than 5000 pensioners died dur
ing March and the monthly average
will soon be 5000. Commissioner
Ware says that, if 1t were not for
the widows of old soldiers, the pen
sion roll would shrink, despite the
operations of order No. rs. There
was period in the administration Of
the present commissioner when the
number of pensioners passed the i
100000 mark. 1t occurred in 1902. On
August of that year, there were Il
DOL ,494 pensioners on the roll. After
that date, the total declined steadily
until May, 1908.

Paris, July 2S.-The French govern

steamer probably will be followed by
the payment Of a money indemnity.
The French authorities are doing
everything possible to prevent the af-
fair from assuming grave proportions.
Although reluctant to criticise Russia,
they are inclined to the view that a
mistake has been made in the present
case which Russia will be ready to
admit and correct, unless retarded
through excessive British criticisms.
The French press and public are TAX
ing the affair calmly. The minister
ial press takes the view that the situa-
ton is due to a misunderstanding, and
that, If Great Britain establishes the
fact that the seized goods are not con-
traband, then Russia will recognize
and redress the error.

$15O,OOO set aside by act Of congress
to settle all Delaware claims and
suits. Indian Agent Shoenfelt presid-
ed. There was a large representation
of leading Delawares present, and
they made short work Of the business

The council voted to accept the
money under the conditions made by
the acE Of appropriation, with the pro-
vision that the money be paid PRO
rata to individual Delawares by In
dian Agent shoenfelt. Attorneys fees
and commissions amounting to about
$4,000 were resented, five claimants
being represented. The claim Of Wal
ter Logan Of New York for $4,000,
was scaled to $4,000 and ordered paid.

$4,000 legal services for R. G. Adams
was cut down to $1,000 and ordered
paid. The claims Of three other law.
yers were thrown out.
AT one time Adams claimed ten pei
cent Of all money and land secured,
but when he found that sentiment was
setting against him he very magnan.
imously relinquished all claims and
got busy taking oil leases from the
Delawares. He secured seventy-three
leases, but they were all knocked out.
Since the first Of May he has secured
about forty new leases. One feature
of these new leases Is a note for SIS
which he takes from the Indian, agree
ing, when the lease Is approved, to
pay back the note.
The council agreed to let the Bar
ties, Ketchum and Dodge families,
known as the Kansas Delawares, 60
before the Dawes commission with
their claim for enrolment. Previous
councils had refused to admit the
claim. There are about 1,10O Della
wares to share in the distribution Of
the S150,000.

MILES A CANDIDATE.

General Miles evidently has hopes that presidential nomination light ming may strike him. Democrats in some of the states are talking Miles and prohibitionists are doing the same thing. The general evidently feels as though it would be a mighty nice thing to capture both nominations, and has practically said as much. He wrote letter recently to Rev. James B. Dunn, of New York, in reply to a recent letter from Rev. Dunn in re- ference to holding the national con vention of the temperance party. Gen. Miles strongly advises against holding the convention until after the party has had an opportunity to ob- serve the action taken on the temper snce question by the republican and democratic national conventions. He says:
 "Should no nomination be made by either of the great parties that would command the cordial support of tenn perance people, the opportunity to make a nomination of its own would still remain"
 Now if that means anything it means that the prohibitionists should wait and see if Miles is nominated by the democrats. If so the prohibs could endorse that nomination. If the democrats fail to nominate Miles, he would still be eligible for the pro- hibition nomination.

MINES CAN BE TAXED.

The supreme court on Saturday rendered decision in the celebrated Bisbee tax case from Cochise county. The board of supervisors of that coun- ty a couple of years ago, raised the valuation of the Copper Queen con- pany, to over s3,OOO, GOO. The compny contested the assessment and won it's case in the district court. The county appealed to the supreme court which reversed the decision of the lower court. It was up again on a re- hearing during the recent term ot court, and the former decision was again sustained.
 The contention was made last sum- mer by apologists of the board of sup ervisors of this county, when they compromised the case of the United Verde company that the Bisbee com pany had won it's suit, which was not true at that time.
 This decision is a very important one, as it sustained the authority of the county supervisors to list mining property at a fair valuation, and knocks the last prop from under the board of supervisors for reducing last years assessment of the United Verde company. As far as any excuse for compromising the taxes of 1902, they never had single valid one, and the s15, 900 reduction made by them stands as a bonus pure and simple and if it cannot be recovered from the company the board and their bonds men should be held for the amount.
