Some of those who have attacked
Mr.. Roosevelt on account Of his pen

the impression that II is an order
which places all veterans of sixty.two
years of age on tie pension roll. This

Reviews in a lengthy discussion of
this order. The pension order does
not put all veterans Of sixty-two on
the government pay list Ii does moi,
indeed, put anybody on the list. Il

A PROFITABLE TRANSACTION.

As an illustration OF the careful,
economical financiering Of the pres
ent territorial administration, may be
cited the refunding Of a 500, 900 bond
issue last April.
The bonds were issued in April,
1894 for thirty years, at 5 per cent,
optioned at ten years, When the
date for their optional redemption
approached, a new Issue was sold ut
4 per cent and the proceeds deposited
in the First national bank Of New
York. On the day the old bonds fell
due, the holders were notified 10 call
at the above bank and get their
money, The rate on this 100000 was
thereby reduced from s per cent to 4
per cent on bonds which had yet 20
years to run, and the territory was
saved 1900 a year In interest for the
next 20 years. The expense incident

was saved, was just $46 This amount

Demand Reduced Rates.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-As a result
of the recent Investigations bS the In
terstate Commerce commission. there
is reason 10 believe that a -e,rani
viii be made for a reduction Of
freight rates on anthracite coal.
Should this course be adopted it is
not believed that any recommended
ton will be made by the committee to
the federal government for action
against the coal roads on the ground
that they had combined to restrain
trade and came within the Sherman
antitrust law.
The commerce commission, in max.
ing a demand for the reduction Of ex-
listing rates, would act within Its pow
ers, but the railroads, If they chose,
could refuse to make the reduction
and carry the case into the courts. A
reduction of rates would be of great
benefit to the individual operators in
the Pennsylvania anthracite field. II
has been their contention for years
that they were unable to mine coal at
rates.
The majority of the individual ope.
rators who are still in the field now
sell their coal at the mines to the
greater companies, receiving a proper,
tion Of the selling price Of the coal
