Wrecking Old Steamers.

All that remains Of the old ferry
steamer Lackawanna. which is being
wrecked at Alexandria, is her hull, the
upper works. boilers, engine and all ma
chinery having been taken out of her
hulk in the last six weeks. 1t was at
first proposed, 1t is stated. to convert
the hull of the old steamer into a barge,
but it is now said that it will be hauled
out on the marine railway and the iron
plates OF the hull separated to be used
for other purposes.
The work OF wrecking Relief lghtship
No. is In progress at Alexandria. The
vessel is lying in the dock adjoining the
foot Of King street. The old vessel was
purchased from the government at an
auction sale by Drifuse & Co. of Alex
andria. who are tearing her to pieces for
the metal In her.
The old sidewheel steamer T. V. Arrow
smith, at one time very popular excur-
sion steamer on the Potomac Is rapidly
disappearing under the hands of the
wreckers who bought her about a month
ago. The steamer is lying at one of the
wharves in the western part of the har-
Dor, and the removal of her machinery
is in progress. Her owners have not yet,
1t is stated, decided what disposition will
be made of the hull after the upper
works and machinery are removed.

The overcrowded Pension Office

To the Editor of The Star:
Among the many places Of interest Wis
tied by me during my few days in your
beautiful city has been the pension ONCE
building, at once the most sanitary and
best ventilated Of all your government
structures, but now dishgured. and It's
noble court absolutely ruined by having
had crowded into one end Of 1t the west
end) all oil the Indian ofhce, with Its huge
bulk of nles. desks, etc. These clerks are
congested into insufficient space, and af-
ter pm. are obliged to raise umbrellas
over their desks to keep off the fierce
rays of the sun that pour through win
dows in the roof unprotected by awnings,
shades or shutters. l was amazed. as l
stood looking down on the clerks. to see
the men smoking. 1t cannot be possible
that this Is sanctioned by the commits
sioner, or whoever has charge of the
discipline Of the corps. The building Is
filled with papers of priceless value, and
spark from cigar or cigarette, care
lessly thrown into waste basket, or on
the floor. would result in irreparable loss
TO the government. On inquiry I learned
that the pension commissioner permits
no smoking in office hours. but he has
no jurisdiction over the clerks of the
indian department, who have been crowd
ed into his building to the great discom-
fort of his own clerks. who have been
doubled up in the rooms to accommodate te
these newcomers. This scarcely seems
fair, as the building was put up for the
pension Office solely.

PROPOSED ISSUE OF BONDS
TREASURY Satisfied TO LET
MATTER GO UNTIL WINTER.
Preference Shown for Authorization
of Securities to Cover Entire Cost
Of Panama Canal.

Secretary MacVeagh has issued a
statement relative to the talked-of issue
Of bonds to secure funds for the govern
ment The statement follows:
The bond resources Of the Treasury
Department are at present ample, includ-
ing $45, 600 600 of unissued Panama bonds
and $1Oo 900, 900 of unissued per cent
certificates.
1T was, however, contemplated that
the tariff bill should contain a new au-
thorizaton of bonds. The House bill
contained two authorizations, one OF
$40. 900. 600 of new Panama bonds and one
of an additional 500, 100000 of 3 per cent
certificates.
To Go to Next Session.
The finance committee of the Senate a,
first intended to include bond legislation,
but finally decided to omit it and let that
matter go over until the next session of
Congress. when 1t was supposed that the
banking and currency question would be
considered. and when the government
bond question might have to be alto
gether reconsidered
This decision of the finance commit
tee was acquiesced in by the Treasury
Department, because 1t was a matter Of
comparative indifference to 1t, as it
COulQ DO very We'll Without a new du-
thorization The consultation yesterday
was due to the fact that the question
had come to be considered by the confer
ence committees, and the Treasury De-
partment was asked for it's views.
To Defray Canal Cost.
THE preference manifested for an au-
thorization Of } per cent bonds, to cover
the entire cost Of the Panama canal. less
the amount Of Panama bonds already is
sued. was entirely acceptable, as 1t would
confirm the policy of paying ultimately
the entire cost of the Panama canal out
of bonds. 1t goes without saying that
even If such authorization is made. the
bonds will only be Issued as required.
This explanation Is made because OF
some misunderstanding Of the attitude OF
the Treasury Department"

regarded as an insignificant wound to
one of his eyes while burning brush on
his farm. Little attention was paid to
the matter until about thirteen years ago,
when the wound began to cause him con-
siderable pain, which, he says has grown
more intense every day. He refused to
consult an oculist. saying If there was
anything in his eye it would come out
when 1t got ready. Thursday a stick more
than half an inch in length worked its
way from under the eyeball.

why B0L|vIANS ARE ANGRY
OFFICIAL DECLARATION By
PRESIDENT MoNTES.
Award Regarded as Manifestly Un-
just-Negotiatio to Be Opened
With Peru Directly.

| LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 11.-Presiden Mt
| Monies of Bolivia has made the follow
| ing official declaration to the Associated
Press concerning the boundary dispute
| between Bolivia and Peru and the re-
| cent demonstrations at La Paz. following
the decision of the Argentine government
on this question:
The arbitration award respecting the
| frontiers of Bolivia and Peru was given
| by the Argentine government without re-
gard to Bolivias petition that an actual
! inspection Of the territory should be made
| by judges named by the arbitrator. In
| case the documents submitted should
| prove unsatisfactory. Had this been done
| the arbitrator, prior to rendering his de-
| etsion, would have been convinced of
the respective possessions of the two
| countries.
Great Indignation Caused.
"The fact that the award despoils Bo-
| livia OF industrial and military posses
| sions on the River Madre de Dios and
| in the Acre district produced the greatest
indignation on the part of the whole of
Bolivia. 1t is inexplicable how the ar
bitrator. after declaring title and docu-
ments useless, could define the situation.
He passed over the elemental principles
of international rights in awarding to
Peru territory which was never question
ed as belonging to Bolivia. AS con-
sequence the Bolivian nation unanimously
| rejects the award.
During the first moments after the an
| nouncement of the decision the people
could not restrain their Indignation. and
| held demonstrations In front Of the lega-
| tions OF Peru and Argentina. No dam
| age was done, notwithstanding the i'm
prudence of the Argentine minister, who
| from the balcony hanagued the crowds
| in offensive terms. The consequences of
| this indiscretion would probably have
| been disastrous II our minister Of for
eign affairs had not intervened and used
his influence to disperse the crowd.
Effect Of a False Report.
'The following day a local newspaper
printed false bulletin that the Bolivian
| legation at Lima had been attacked and
the wife Of the minister and the consuls
at Arequipa and Mollendo had been as
sassinated. This caused second attack
on the legations and the pillaging OF
| Peruvian stores. Thanks to the measures
taken by the authorities. nothing further
OF the kind has happened Today every
| thing is normal, the humblest Peruvian
and Argentine resident enjoying an alb
solute guarantee OF safety.
Notwithstanding Bolivia's unanimous
rejection OF the award, the probability of
an armed conflict is remote, this govern
ment's policy being a desire to arrange
| the matter direct with Peru"
