lowed under Order No. IS, allowing old
age pensions.
Since the beginning of the Civil War
there have been granted by special acts
of Congress 1925 pensions. and an in
crease of pensions of which 1O,417 are
now on the rolls, with an annual value
of $2,937 900. During the last session of
Congress 3,J0I special acts were passed.
The report shows that in the entire
history of the country the total expendi-
ture on account of pensions has been
3.459, Se0,31l, of which only SOC, 445. IA
had been paid prior to the beginning of
the Civil War. OF the total $3,259, 1885,
800 was on account Of the Civil War.
The total payment of pensions on ac-
count of the Spanish war reaches $15,-
1855 up to date.
The disbursements for navy pensions
during the year were $4.204,004 and the
income from the navy pension fund avail
able for the payment of pensions was
S363,61S, or less than per cent of the
amount required for the payment of navy
pensions. Since 1870 this fund has been
inadequate to pay navy pensions, and the
deficiency has been provided for out of
the public funds by congressional appro-
priations.

SIX MEN DEAD IN PHILADELPHIA

Accident-TOrnado Spreads Death
and Destruction in Louisiana.

A terrific explosion of illuminating gas
i'm the subway of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company. under construction at
Sixth and Market streets, resulted in the
death of at least six men. About dozen
others were injured and property damage
that will run into thousands of dollars
was caused. The explosion occurred
shortly before o'clock, when few work
men had gathered. 1t was caused by
leak in a city gas main that had been i'm
properly repaired. The escaping gas
formed in a pocket and it is believed that
a workman carrying lamp into the great
hole ignited ii. The corner of Sixth and
Market streets is one of the busy points
in the city, but there was little traffic
there when the explosion occurred. The
force of the explosion wrecked the sub
way for half a block and all the heavy
timbering and other structural work, in
Guiding tons of earth, fell into the exca-
walton. A heavy rain during the night
had slightly weakened the walls and add
ed to the damage. just as the gas ig-
nited four-horse dirt cart was being
driven directly across the covered sub
way by a driver of the Willard Con-
struction Company. which is Guiding the
subway. Vehicle, horses and man were
blown high in the air and the horses and
cart fell into the hole. The driver land
ed in the street and was only slightly
hurt. Several workmen standing near the
derrick were blown across the street and
killed or injured, and a number of other
persons were hurt by falling glass and
signs.

WEATHER FROM WHOLE WORLD.
The United States to Reach Out Into
Alaska and Siberia

The United States weather bureau is
reaching octopus-likc and getting its ten
tacles on the weather business of the
world. A great impetus to long-range
forecasting has been given by the Rus
sian governments acceptance of a propo>
sition whereby daily reports VIII be made
to the weather bureau in Washington OF
weather conditions through Russia and
the vast regions of Siberia. Cooperation
with Canada for a long time has given
this government the benefit of weather
data from the Canadian northwest as far
as Medicine Hat and Edmonton, but to
this have just been added arrangements
for reports from Alaska. Daily reports
will soon be had from Dawson City, Sitka,
Nome, Fairbanks and other points. Win
the weather bureau in touch with condl-
tons throughout the United States, Can
ada, Alaska and Siberia, it will prac-
tically know what the weather is clear
around the globe in the north temperate
zone. 1t is, moreover, in touch with the
West Indian region. The wireless tele-
graph will enable it to know quite accu-
rately what is going on in the north At
lantic. Medicine Hat, Assiniboia, has
been known as the place where the wealth
er is made. The weather experts say it
has no monopoly and that the origin of
much disturbance is in the great Lake
Baikal region of Siberia. 1t is described
as the center of vast region of primary
meteorological action, especially impor-
rant in winter.

OG-WinthrOp Governor.

In spite of her shortcomings and Of
the revolutionary methods which have
produced anarchy on the island, Cuba
is to be saved from herself. An Amer
lean provisional government has been
proclaimed by Secretary Taft to take
the place of that which ceased TO exist
when the Cuban Congress failed TO
choose successors to President Palma
and the Vice President, Mendez Capote,
both of whose resignatlns were tender
ed to the Congress. Previously the. res
ignations of the members of the cabi-
net had been accepted by President
Palma, so that Cuba found herself with
out a government.
Secretary Taft thus became by proc
lamation the temporary provisional
head of the Cuban government. The
unique feature of the temporary change
of government is that so far as posi-
BILE all public officials are retained, the
Cuban flag is kept flying over public
buildings and the government is being
administered in accordance with the
Cuban constitution. Formerly, inter-
vention and protectorates meant the
substitution of the flag and laws of the
intervening power; but in this case
there Is no such substitution-an object

In many counties of Texas Democrats
have circulated petitions for conventions
to instruct legislators against the re-elec-
ton of United States Senator Bailey, be-
cause of the disclosures in the Missouri
custer proceedings concerning his alleged
connection with the Standard Oil Com

statement in his own defense. In this he
says the same kind of fight was made
on him six years ago. He declares that
if a man in public Office has no right to
pursue his private business such a doc
trine would confine the public life of this
country to only rich men or rascals."
In his Chicago speech to open the re-
publican congressional campaign in tie

said that when the American flag is un-
furled from Santiago to Havana it would
mean for Cuba the arrival of an era of
peace, order and progress. He added that
intervention would mean 10000 American
troops in Cuba for year, TO build up
that social order which was once estab-
lished by Americans, but which the Gu
bans have shattered. When this work
should be done once more, he said, we
would never again let it be undone. If
the American flag went to Cuba, it would

diver could do, Edward Cam on leaped to
his death from the middle OF the suspen-

gument led TO a bet which Cannon made
with Lou Baldwin to do double bridge
jumping act. The two men agreed to jump
from the middle span fthe suspension
bridge and swim to the Kentucky shore.
Skiffs had been stationed in the river be-
low to pull the swimmers into the boats
If necessary. Cannon was the first to
jump. He struck the water and failed to
appear. One of the party involuntarily
clutched the other jumper and he fell back
to the bridge. That probably saved his
life. No trace of Cannon's body was
found. Rags" Cannon was a well-known
character TO the sporting element. He
was prize fighter % years old. Bald
win was formerly sailor, and his boasts

DECREASE IN PENSION BILL.
Death Trims Ranks of Civil War Vet
/ Eiauros

COMMUNICATING Figures.
The net decrease in the pension roll of
the United States for the fiscal year end
ing june 80 last amounted to $124, 40,
the largest decrease in the history of the
country. These f..cts are brought out
in the annual report of Commissioner of
Pensions Warner, which has just been
completed. In the report the commits
sioner expresses the opinion that there
will be still more marked decrease dur
ing the present year.
During the year there were added TO
the roll 81, $50 new pensioners and ,405
reservations and renewals. making a total
addition of 34,974. The total number of
pensioners on the roll during the year
was 1,033,415. The number of pension
ers dropped from the roll during the year
was 47,44i, leaving the number of pen
sioners June 80, 1906, at 9S5,971.
The maximum number of pensioners
in the history of the bureau was reached
Jan. 81, 1905, when it was 1904. 1856,
since which date there has been a steady
decrease, aggregating to June 80, 1906,
1925.
Death was the principal cause of the
decrease of the last year, the number OF
names dropped on that account being
1890. OF these 29,2OS were those of
survivors of the Civil War, leaving &c.,
453 survivors of that war still on the
roll. There are still four pensioners on
account of the Revolutionary War, one
a widow and three daughters; ego, all
widows, on account of the war with
Spain, and 11,472 on account of the Mex
lean War.
The commissioner calls attention to the
fact that, while there has been mate
rial decrease in the number of pensioners,
the annual value of the roll is nearly as
large as it was last year, arising from
the fact that the ratings of many invalid
pensions are constantly increasing.
Pennsylvania has the largest number
of 800. Ohio follows with
9S,564; New York, S9,24O.
More than 5000 pensions are paid to
persons residing abroad. OF these 1867
are in Canada, COS in Germany, and 49j
in Ireland, the others being scattered.
During the year 23,62S claims were al
