pension claims should bo repealed, and we
ask the president to use his authority to
cause those whose duty lt is to execute the
laws to so pei form their duty as to do justice
to the soldiers, and administer the law so
as not to obstruct the prosecution of pen
sions by technical requirements not within
the province of the law, and whicli are only
calculated to hinder and obstruct in the ef
fort to obtain lawful pensions.
"A fact that it seems unnecessary to en
large upon i.s that time is highly important
to the veterans. The passing years have a
direful ace], ration for them. Every day
brings them nearer th.' grave in Increasing
ratio. Their needs cry out more voclfeiousW
with every changing of the moon, vet the
number of weekly allowances steadily di
minish, while the pension commissioner of
cially states that he has 625,000 claims pend
ing in his buieau, of which he says 75, 0 X)
so far have received nothing at all. Else
where he 6tates that about 2.0,000 survivors
received no pensions, and yet very recently
the commissioner recommended and carried
through a reduction of 100 in his force of
clerks, on the ground that he had more force
than he needed. This in the face of the fact
that hardly a day passes but tliat some
where or another in this broad land the pen
sion certificate arrives only in time to be
laid on tlie coffin of the applicant. In the
meanwhile the 1,600 employes of the pen
sion bureau continue the dreary round of cir
cumlocution of pulling out the yellow papers,
adding a note to the indorsements and re
placing them in the pigron holes. It has
been estimated by a mathematician fond of
cauculations that tlie mere physical labor em
ployed in these futile handlings have been suf
ficient to have picked up the Army of the
Potomac in its proudest strength and carried
it bodily from Washington to Richmond.
AN OBNOXIOUS RULE.
"Resolved, That the rule of the pension
office by which a widow is debarred from
pension lf she has an Income of $100 per
year is unjust, and we ask the president
that the order be abrogated, and the mini
mum income debarring from pensions be fix
ed at not less than $300 per annum.
"Resolved, That we ask for the re-establish
ing of order 164, which was enforced under
the Harrison regime. This order, in simple
terms, took cognizance in rating a man's
pension of all the disabilities ho suffered
under. It was abrogated by the last ad
ministration, and it was held to be entit'.ed
to the lowest rate of $6 per month a comrade
must have seme disability which is rated
at that amount. If he has three disabilities
rated at $4 each, he gets no pension at all.
This iniquitous rule is maintained up to thi-j
bour, and we submit, ls not such treatment
as we had a right to expect from Comrade
McKinley.
"Resolved, That in construing the phrase
'inability to perform manual labor' it be con
strued to mean inability to perform unpro
fessional, unskilled labor, labor requiring
muscular effort alone. Your committee fur
ther respectfully states that it ls wise to
receive even the official s'atement of the com
missioner of pensions with several laVge
grains of allowance. He Btates in one place
that there are 75,000 comrades who never re
ceived a pension. In another place he fixes
the figures at 200,_0. We are made aware,
from time to time, from his glowing state
ments, as to the great work he ls doing for
his comrades In comparison to what was for
merly done, but most of his comparisons are
with the administrations of President Grant
and President Hayes. Prior to the act of
1890, granting pensions after ninety days'
service for disability honorably incurred even
after tho war, he compares with the period
when the sum total of claims was only 800 000.
When, owing to the small force in 'the
adjutant's office, It took two years to get a
report on the claimant's record, where now
It takes only five days. He compares his
work with the work done when the clerks ln
the pension office numbered only 300, while
he has 1,600. He discreetly refrains from
giving prominence to the number of his re
jections. Our comrades living and the widows
of comrades dead cry aloud for Justice. We
voice their cry and bring it to the ear of that
comrade in chief authority over all the land,
confident that he will do Justice."
The report was adopted without dis
cussion.
FINAIL, WORK.
Resolutions warmly endorsing Presi
dent McKinley and Secretary of "War
Alger were adopted without a dissent

official challenged the admiration of

BETTY GERARD RESTRAINED.
Actress Held hy the Order of a
New York Court.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9. — Elizabeth
Ordway, otherwise known as Bettina
Gerard, must, at least for the present,
remain in St. Savior's sanitarium at
Inwood-on-the-Hudson. Justice Book
staver haa handed down a decision
involving some of the technical points
raised. He said, ln his opinion, that,
unless within two days Miss Gerard
withdrew her demurrer and traversed
the return, the writ of habeas corpus
issued last Saturday would be dis
missed.
The case came up on the return of a
writ of habeas corpus secured by Law
yer Hummel.
Miss Gerard was committed to the
Institution by Justice Stover, of the
supreme court, several weeks ago. Ac
cording to the officials of the sanita
rium, Miss Gerard's admission to the
place was at her own request. Now
she wants to be released, and alleges
that she ls Illegally restrained of her
liberty.
The court proceedings seemed amus
ing to Miss Ordway. when refersnces
were made to her drinking and carous
ing, she smiled. It ls principally be
cause of her love for drink that she ls
detained, but she says ll doesn't mat
ter to anybody lf she desires to drink.

Gen. Miles Calls I pon the Pres

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.— Gen. Miles
today visited the office of the secretary
of war. Assistant Secretary Meikle-
John was at the desk of Secretary Al
ger when Gen. Miles arrived. Gen
Miles talked briefly with Mr. Meikle
jchn over the Porto Rican campaign
and took his departure.
Gen. Miles afterwards said that there
were a number of matters that re
quired deliberate consideration with j
respect to the army organization, and J
that undoubtedly steps in that direc
tion would be taken as soon as prac- '
tlcable. The mater of mustering out J
the volunteer general officers in corre- j
spondence with the general reduction
of the army by mustering out, he said,
would have to be taken up at an early
date, and that evidently would cause
a rearrangement of the department
commands. With respect to the or
ganization of the army Gen. Miles said
that the experience of this war had
very clearly demonstrated, what mili
tary authorities well understood before
—that the establishment of a standard
was necessary to the entire efficiency
of the army. He said it was his Inten
tion to recommend a plan of reorgani
zation to congress, and he believed the
necessity for it would be recognized by
the public and by congress.
The acquisition of territory obvious
ly made it necessary that there should
be a larger army, and the experience
of the war had demonstrated the ne
cessity of establishing a standard and
having the troops thoroughly trained
to the military service. It was desir
able, he said, that the army should be
organized on the basis of one soldier
to every certain number of Inhabitants.
It was recommended by military au
thorities, even before the close of the
War of the Rebellion, that the estab
lishment of a standard was desirable,
but from time to time the army had
been reduced, until lt had reached a
number disproportionately small to the
size of the country and Its population.
He thought that one soldier to every
1,000 population probably would be
found to be about the right ratio for
a standard, and that the army, this
standard being adopted, would increase
according to the recognized needs of
the government in an exact ratio to
the increase of the population.
RECEPTION WAS BRIEF.
Gen. Miles, accompanied by Col.
Mlchler, of his staff, called at the
White house shortly before the cabi
net meeting began. The meeting be
tween the president and the command
ing general was coinparatlvely brief,
lasting about five 'minutes. It was
not ln the nature of ,a' conference, dur
ing which questions relating to the war
were discussed, but was a mere for
mal call of respect, usual -on the return
of a high official, Q«<n; MFFes had noth
ing to say before or after the call. He
was greeted with a ri)un<3 of applause
as he left the White hpuse, pushing
his way through the dense crowd
awalting the review of returning jDls
trlct of Columbia troops.

CAMP MEADE. Middleton. Pa., Sept. 9
Socretary of War Alger and Gen. Shafter
were at Camp Meade today. They witnessed
A review of the troops and made a hurried
tour of the camp. Gen. Alger rosmued bis
journey at noon to Detroit, and Gen. Shat
ter went to Washington. They were close'ed
together an hour this morning in the secre
tary's private car, which was run onto a
siding at Camp Meade station. While Gen.
Graham was arranging for the review, Sec
retary Algor and Gen. Shatter hid another
conference lasting thirty minutes. What passed
between them neither would say, except
that it was a private affair. Gen. Shafter said
the secretary was a very dear friend, and
that they had been in the Civil war together
as colonels. He is at work on hia report
of the Santiago campaign, and expects to
complete it tomorrow. Speaking of the con
troversy with Gen. Miles, he said:
"It is all poppycock. There ls no friction
between Gen. Miles and myself, at least
there was not when he left Santiago. Our re
lations have always been pleasant, and I
do not understand the meaning of all this
talk. Then general may have been talking,
but I believe that much of it ls due to an
tagonistic newspapers, whose motives are
certainly not patriotic."

Scott, of the Madison county circuit
court. The decree restores the de
fendant to her maiden name, Dora
Richardson.
The suit for divorce was filed several
weeks ago, and as it was not contest
ed by the defendant, every effort was
made to hurry it through the courts,
with the result that a decree was hand
ed down this morning. No reference
was made to alimony, as It was under
stood by the attorneys and court that
Gen. Clay had already made ample pro
vision for his wife by the purchase of a
large and productive farm near her
old home. The marriage contract
whioh existed between them was dis

Gray, the president has given Demo
