to the Influx of claims on account of tl
Spanish war he did not deem it wise to i
ducc Iho general appropriation this yea
There wcro 25,000 Spanish war claims peni
Ing. The commissioner thought $5,000,0
or $6,000,000 would cover these claims.
Curtis of Kansas criticised some of t !
rulings of the commissioner of pensions ) . I

Ilnrtlett of Georgia.
"I don't bellovo the president enders
the acts of the commissioner , " replied Cu
tip. "I don't believe ho known what Is goli
on. "
"Was not the commissioner a soldier

"They say he was , " replied Curtis.
don't believe bo over carried a musket. "
Hern Grosvenor of Ohio Intervened to s
lhat Commlbsloner Evans was a private sc
dlcr In u WF.C3nsln regiment nnd later Jo.u
the Army of the Cumberland. Before t
cloBo of the warhe was made a clerk In t

" ' 'May not all the trouble bo due , " ask
William Alden Smith of Michigan , "to t
employes In the pension office who are o
of symbuthy with the old soldiers. , but w

WASHINGTON , Jan. 19. The State dc-
purtmcnt has not been advised from any
oHIclal source that Montnguo White , the
consul of the Transvaal republic at London ,
Is ( .omtng to Washington as n diplomatic
representative of the republic. Jn advance
of bin coming the officials do not care to
forecast the deslslo.n of the department as
to his claim for recognition. The ruleIs
to > admit to the secretary of state any proper
person who comes on public business , but
that admission does not constitute an offi
cial recognition of the visitor.
Whtn White calls he will undoubtedly
bo > seen by Secretary Hay , but while the
sectetary may talk freely with his visitor
that Interview will nbt In Itself amount to
an official recognition of White as a repre
sentative of the Transvaal. It will remain
fo.- the Stnto department officials Inter on
to pass upon the sufficiency of nny creden
tials that Mr. White niny bring to establish
himself In that character. Colonel O'Belrne ,
who first sought recognition was refused
on the ground of his American citizenship.
What vvlll be done In the case ot White
cannot bo foretold , but the government may
have the same reasons for declining to
retngn70 ! the Independence of the Trnnsvnal
