About sixty dnys ngo a now departure ) was Inaugurate. by the ) San Francisco Bxamlner , now lliu lending paper on tlio coast. Its pro- tirlutor , Ml1. Uumst , son of tbo late Senutor Hearst of California , who has a. very largo fortunu ut his command , conculvcd the idea of establishing a burcnu of claims at Wash ington , innnnctl by the ablest lawyers nnd specialists conversant with the routines worn In the various departments and bureaus of the government. When the aiimmnconintof this now depart ure was Hindu negotiations were at once en tered Into between I'm : Uiiaml : : , the proprie tor of the ICxamlner to join hands nnd mu- ually. slmro In the enterprise. Tuoso ar- rnngcmonta hnvu boon perfected nnd agree ments cnturud into by which Tin : HIK : is to prosccutu all claims .irrlsitiK in l\\o \ territory whcroTin : HIB : enjoys so extensive a sub scription palroniiL'o. Under this ngrctiment all applications for claims , either for pensions , Indian depreda tions , hind or mining claims , natent or pos tal claims in the states of Iowa , Kansas , South Dakota and Nebraska , will bo taken tn hand by Tun HIK : UITIUAU or CLAIMS in Omaha and through it fowardod to bond- ( junrturs'ut Washington where thuy will bo prosecuted to a llnal nr.d speedy conclusion. Tni ! BIE : takes pleasure ) In olTorlng to all its patrons and particularly to subscribers to Tuu WEIKIV DII : , the services of Its new bureau whieh , we have no doubt , will provo of great advantage ! to thorn , both in prosecu ting now claims to a successful Issue and In Dxpcditing all claims entrusted to 'I'm : BIB : bureau. THK Bui : BUIIKAU OP CLAIMS has frequently boon referred to in these columns , but up to the present time , no reforeueo has boon made to the manner in which its important work is performed. This is ouo of the most interestIng - Ing ftititurns connected with tho.nntcrpriso. . Tlio lliu-ouu's Uoimsol. To begin with , the services o' three most eminent councilors have boon retained. These are A. L. Hughes , O. 13. Wcllor , and 1' . J. Butler. They are denominated "gen- oral counsel. " They are men of mature years onct learned In too law. They have inutlo a specialty of practising in ttio the United Stales supreme , circuit and dis trict courts , the United States court of claims and before all the departments and bureaus of the government. They are qualified to pass upon the general merits of any claim , as 30011 as It Is presented. This saves a great deal of time , because , when a claim has been passed upon by them , U is generally one which is entitled to a standing in court. When a claim Is rejected by them , it moans that it Is either outlawed or that it limits cer tain elements whic.h would lead to its llnal approval. . lOxumliiRi-H nnil KxpurlN. Besides these gentleman there are also a practising attorney , an examiner and export in each department in which TUB Br.c pro poses to prosecute claims , namely , those of patents , pensions , postal and land claims and Indian depredations , In fact In any dopart- uient in which a claim may nrlso against the federal government. These attorneys [ ire- pare the petitions and tend to the claims before - fore the several courts , while the examiners and exports make a specialty of searching the records and arranging the evidence neces sary to strengthen the claim. The gentleman charged with this duty re garding Indian depredations has boon the as sistant chief examiner of these slaiins in the Indian bureau of the interior department tor many years. His comprohonslvo Irnowlcdgo of details , facts , status of and evidence in the cases heretofore Hied or the outbreaks out of which others yet to bo Hied have arisen , renders his services extremely valu able. able.Then there Is a general manager , John Woddorburn. Fur years ho was private sec retary to Senator Hearst , the father of Hon. WUllam llearst , the projector of the present enterprise. Ho has also boon for years the Washington correspondent of the San Fran cisco Examiner , with which Tin : IUn : is no v co-operating. He is a man of universal In formation and h especially adaptwl to the responsible position ho now holds. Than this force none morn capable could bo found in the country. Its services have boon retained at great expense by the bureau , the salaries alone reaching at the present time $1,800 per month. As has boon stated , the San Francisco Ex aminer Inaugurated the enterprise , and through It Tin : HKI ; was allowed to establish its bureau for the accommodation Of claim ants In South Dakota. Iowa , Nebraska and Kansas. This privilege \vas tlrst , of all tlio papers In the country , extended to Tin : Biu : , because of Its known pluck , enterprise and energy. The undertaking , however , IIRS at tracted so much attention throughout the country and been so greatly appreciated by old soldiers. Indian victims , nnd defrauded government claimants , that loading papars elsewhere have nsUcd to bo admitted to enjoy the privileges of the bureau. Among those papers thorn Is a leading ono In Mlnno- sola and others In lioston , Cincinnati , St. Louis , Atlanta nnd New Orleans. It Is thought that Mr. Hearst , the proprietor of The Kxamlnor , and the gentleman who In- lUMtrated the system , will grant the applica tion , ClnlniH ComliiK lu- Tin : Hr.R CI.UM BUIIKAU has not aeon In existence one month and yet It has listed Indian dcpridallon claims aggregating $ xiXX , ( ) and Um nmon.it Is bolng con stantly added to. This Is a rumark- nblo showing , and yet It is but a fraction of the claims which remain unrecorded and un paid In the states controlled by Tin : HKI : BtiiiKAU OF UI.UMH , namely , South lialtota , Nebraska , Iowa and Kansas. On March ! l , of this yonr , an act for tbo payment of InJluu depredation claims was approved. To this net , If Is neces sary to direct the attention of every claimant who has sultoro'l ' at the hands of Indians. This refers to those victims whojo claims have already boon Hied as well as tn these who still coutomplatu tiling them. Up to the date In question , thousands of sulTorors had tiled thclrclalms with attorneys In all parts of the country ana wuro In most cajos charged excessive foes , Many of the clninjs , too , had been pending for years. SutiMiod that , in many cases , the claimant * had contracted with the attorneys In ques tion and , without fear of prosecution for nnnuluieut , could not transfer their claims to ftliorpgout * or attorneys wuo lulgut expe dite the collection , congress unoertook tc alTord the desired relief. This it did In the act In question. AniiiillliiU lv\orlltnnt ) Contracts. Jurisdiction In thoso. matters was trans fei red to the court of claims w hero the sei vices of an attorney are indispensable. Undei this law , all agreements made by claimants with attorneys , prior to March ! i , Ih'Jl , are expressly declared null and void. This was done as has bom Intimated to release claim ants from exorbitant fee contracts. Every claimant is , therefore , free to em ploy as his attorney whomsoever he p'oases. ' Under thesu circumstances , it would appear to bo to the advantage of every person hav ing a chiim to place the same with the bu reau guaranteed by such a reliable and re sponsible piiDcr as Tin : lien , rather than with unknown parties. The disappointed attorneys whom the law In question has deprived of exorbitant fees have been Hooding the country threatening their former clients with suit should they take their claims from thorn and place them in the hands of other attorneys. But this should not discourage claimants , because ) an act of congress is paramount to nny and all agreements entered into with any attorney prior to the time named In the said law. To tlocoviM * IV ) Indian Dcprodatioim Parties desiring to avail themselves of the benefits of the act In Question re garding the recovery ot claims growing nut of Indian depredations should forward to Tin : BKI : Binimu OP CI.UMM power of attorney , grafting author ity to appear in their case in the court of claims. They should also furnish a detailed statement of loss. including each Specific article lost , its value , date , county and state , band or tribe of Indians committing depredations , names and present addresses of witnesses whose testimony they expect to use in substantia tion of their claim , and such other informa tion bearing upon the case us they may possess. Upon receipt of this simple information , Tin : UIK BUIIP.AU OF CLAIMS will immediately attend to the moro intricate or difficult portion tion of the preparation. The claims must not ba based on depreda tions extending back beyond IS ( " > . Headers of Tin : BIK or these who may file claims for collection , nro respectfully requested - quested to furnish Tin : BEE BUHEAU OF CLUMS with the names and addresses of nny other parties who have suffered similar losses at the lianas of Indians. Many people are as yet unaware of the recent favorable legislation by which these claims can now , if properly prepared and presented bo collected. Hut Indian depredation claims are not the only ones which Tin : BIB : BUKIAU : OF CLAIMS proposes to handle. In brief. It will look after any claim which nny citizen has against the government or any department of the government. It will bo specially service able to soldiers of the late war. IViiiionM for Afjcil Solillers. Strange as It may appear , there are thou sands of veterans of tlio rebellion , who are old , weary , inllrui and beyond the skill of physician or surgeon to restore to health. Many of these are incapacitated because of exposure or injuries sustained in the late war , nnd yet , many of these are unprovided with pensions. Pensions for Inlirm Soldier * . There nro thousands of poor fellows who are permanently disabled , having served at least ninety days in the war , They were also honorably discharged. These are enti tled to a pension oven though the inllrmity from which they sutler was not the result of oxpostiro In the war. The only condition Is that their prostration is not the result of vicious habits. P.-unions for Soldiers' WidowR. There nro thousands of soldiers' and sail or.- . ' widows in this countrv who do not know that they are entitled to pensions. And yet , t > y writing Tin : BUB Huitiuu oFCi.vi.M. < , wncm their case is Just , they will bo able to secure these pensions. All that Is required is that each widow show that she is without other moans of support than her daily labor and that her husband served at least ninety davs In the army anil was honorably discharged ; that she married the soldlor prior to Juno U7 , 1890. Proof of his death must also bo ad vanced , but his domi.so need not have been the result of army service. PdlSloilH ( of Mlllllui'H * I'lirClltH. There are thousands of soldiers' parents who are also ignorant of the fact that they are entitled to pensions. These must provo that their son died from a wound. Injury or disease which , under prior laws , would have given him a pension : that ho left no wife or minor child ; that the mothnr or father Is at present dependent upon his or her own man ual labor or the contributions of others not legally bound for his or her support. Besides these claims , Tin : HIK : UUHKAU will prosecute land claims growing out of disputes or appeals from local land offices to the general land office of the United States. ApponlH I rout Ijoc-ullmml OIllo.-H. These appeals are frequently most annoy ing to both parties. The local attorney can not personally prosecute the CHSO In Wash ington. It would cost to support him there , frequently moro than the land In question Is worth , to say nothing ot his fees , which , as has bcon shown , are generally as high as may bo collected. Ho is , therefore , compelled to trust the claim Into the hands of n man whom she does not know , whoso first move Is to bleed the claimant and tlio at torney who refers the claim to him. Be tween these men the appellant hangs In un- cortaliUy until the llnal Adjudication has been made. In Tin : iliiBntiui ; oi'Ci.viMS these would bo placed in the hand.s of well known and ro- sponslbla people * , pushed with the greatest energy and at the minimum of cost. TUB BKI : BriiBv or CI.M.MS therefore is the medi um through which ttmso appeal cases should bo prosecuted. Mining nnil Postal ( . 'litInm. The sumo is true of mining an.l postal Halms. These would go Immediately to com- ixiteitt hands. They would not bo delayed. If mi wort ny , they would nuvor bo llleil in court , but the claimant would lw notlllod of tbo fact. Ho would thus ho relieved of all anxiety within u few months , whereas , as It Is now , ho docs not know what kind of a claim he has until after it has buen posgcnl upon by the courts or thudepartments , Tin : HIK : Jii HIAL : can tell a good claim from a bad claim. It never presents thn lat ter. U does not wish to rob the treasury. It collects only claims that are Just. Scouring Patent UlghiN. There are thousands of Inventive men and women in ibis countrv who linvo Invention * which are known only to their friends. Yet In these Inventions there are sometimes for tunes to bo found. Yet , comparatively speaking , but low of tUesu luvcutora over seek n patent , Thov do not know how to d ( It , They fear the cost and the delay. Tin linn Bt'iir.tr op CLAIMS has reduced those almost ton minimum. I'MMI } rn l UK Inventor * . There nro n great many inventors whc bcllevo the moment they place the secret 01 their dlscovcrV In the hands of any othei person , from that very moment an Intrlptu is formed to dispossess them of their din covory. TUB HIH : BriiF.AU OF CLMMS take ; occasion to sny to this worthy but unrc quitcd class of Its patrons that It wll tr-sat nil such business intrusted to Its ciw in the most conlldcntial manner , thus nssur ing to all who may wish to secure n patent on their inventions the utmost secrecy from tu < beginning to the end of the transaction , Parties desiring to avail themselves o THE BBK BriiBAf OF CLUMS In the matter o securing patent rights , traJu marks , prints lacx'ls nnd copyrights , should tinnkc , known their wants in this direction , when written instructions will bo furnished as to thc modu of procedure required under tlio patent laws Patent ltl lit n Hiu-ul'ilty. Tun Bfnuu' OF CLVIMS announces that it will mnko this branch of Its work u specialty nnd one that can bo rolled upon its * ] i&\na \ beyond the power of exports even to 'crltl else. This announcement Is mldo bocntis1 the fact has already -boon , offl clallv promulgated by tlio llilted | States patent office that the territory embraced In the statci of South IATota , Nebraska , Iowa and Kansas enjoys 'ii "world" wldi ! reputation as possessing more Inventive genius , su-ango as It may appear , than any similar extent of territory in the United States at the present time. Applicants for patents should understand that Tin : BBI : DfiiKAU orUi.UMS lays great stress upon the fact that it ran ad visa its patrons , almost ut the outset , whether their Invention Is now nnd p'ltcntablo , tlius.savlng them the exorbitant fee charged by the or dinary patent attorney. These claims will bo prosecuted. uot as n means of making money , but simply as an aceoaindatioii to claimants living in tnuhtntes above enumerated. Tlio work will bo done at about what it costs Tin- : BUR Biinsu ; : , or CLUMP , so that claimants need huvo , - no fear of exorbitant rates nor the blooding delays to which they have heretofore been sub jected. Address all letters to Manager , Biu : BuiiKAU OF CLAIMS , OMVIIA , Nun. . . Tlio Terms. The terms under which claims- Will bo prosecuted will depend entirely upon the amount of service rendered In each ease.Vo can safely assure all patrons of the bureau that the charges will bo very mfoeh loWer than rates charged by the regular claims lawyers and claims ricrents at Washington It go without saying that the Examiner andTinBii : : nro in position conjointly to ex pedite business and do service ) at moro lib eral rates than nny other medium for ttio prosecution of claims. In the matter of fees and charges Tin : BKB desires only to clear expenses. The bureau Is Intended forthorellof of the people from the rapacity of legal snarks. In many cases fojs allowed attorneys are Irrevocably llxod by law. and in such the question Is decided. In ether claims such a charge will bo made us s-jcms to cover the actual expenses involved in collection Wo mane no effort to solicit your patronage , as does the ordinary agent who seeks your laliu for a llnancia consideration.

If your claim is worth less or illegitimate you will bo so notilio without fear or favor. If the claim is gou- uino it will receive prompt attention and efficient prosecution. If unsuccessful , no charge will bo made ; provido.l , however , that claimants must defray their own ox pcnscs in the preparation of affidavits , depo sitions. and other evidence outside of Wash ington. Wo will furnish the necessary logla papers an boar the Washington expenses only in unsuccessful claims. When claims nro allowed , a reasonable fee will bo charged to cover actual cost. All letters will bo promptly answered and all information concerning form of applica tions for claims , terms , otc. , will bo" given with as llttlo'delay as practicable.

Jens WNOIII.K , Secret ru / tM Interttif. sii.titiis A itttt UowTlioy Keel Over tlui Uuroui of L lulniM Work. During the past month the Exnrnlner.Bii : : bureau of claims has boon In receipt of , a lumber of letters from clients enclosing threatening and argumentative circulars 'rom attorneys foimorly employed , and nsk- ng if the asset tlons therein made were truo. I'hosaid clients are parties who , hnvlng-beon iroviously robbed by claim n'Reiits , , e'a 6rJy rraspod the opportunity for relief by trans- 'erring their cases to this bureau when con gress opened the door by annulling previous contracts. Now , the aforesaid clnlin agent cormorants , fearing they may bo balked of the prey they have so long entangled In their ncshes. have begun to Hood the country with circular letters in which they constantly mrp on two themes , viz. : That congress has 10 power to annul private contracts , and that heir powers of attorney are irrevocable because - cause coupled with nu interest , namely , u contingent foe. Wivdo not propose at tho. present time to advertise the names of these parties who now masquerade under the cognomen of nttor toys , though strongly tempted to glvo them tie celebrity their quasi-literaly-louai rm- icnvors so richly murlt. One In particular deserves special reoj nitlon , by n maudlin coinmunlcatiun of eight pages In which ho innbles useless facts with fanciful theories , garbles Judicial decisions , and .so Inextricably mtannlos his words that In many instances ho closing part of his sentences have no ap- mront connection with the beginning. To nny ono versed in the law of the land such idiotlo letters are a matter only of ridl- culo nnd amusement. But when wo consldoi that the average claimant In the won Is nee essarlly Ignorant of the Inw governing thi prosecution of claims In .the city of Washing ton , wo nro prone to trcnt the matter in on seriously. The question of extent to which congress mny go In Its Interference with privnto con tracts , Is undoubtedly ono on which sotna ol the most eminent legal minds hnvo differed nnd It were easy to wnta a volume on olthot side. However , the philosophical nnd polltl cnl arguments pro and con nro .Homothhu with which wo at present hnvo no concern Wo conllno ourselves to the cold , hard logic of facts. That the last congress did speclti c.illy cancel and annul nil existing contract' between claimants and attorneys In the It dinn depredation act of March ! ) , IS'Jl ' , is n fact which not oven the squirming clain agents deny , and which anyone interested may read for himself by applying to us iot ,1 copy of the law. Possibly the eminent con * stltutloiml lawyers and Jurists In the senate and house of representatives should have consulted those obscure claim agents before passing the act which so seriously curtailed their Sbylock propensities , Hut wo apprehend that moro rcllnnci was placed upon the recent decision of the U. S. snnromo court , case of Mitchell n clerk , reported In 111) ) U. S , reports , page 0ii ! : where In the highest tribunal In the land assorts "no provision of the constitution pi ohtblts congress from interfering with the validity of contracts. " The second legal problem Involved Is that of revocation of powers of attorney. When ntiil under what circumstances the claimant can recall nn existing power and employ another attorney. Our eight page frloml leads off with duosolemlty by quoting Judge Storey : "When nn authority or power is coupled with an interest it is from its own nature and character in contemplation of law irrevocable : " then proceeds to argue that tlit retaining of an attorney on a contingent fee is equivalent to coupling the power with an interest. This is absolutely false from n legal standpoint , but it Is an assertion well calculated to mislead the ordinary read er. What Is really meant by nn "interest" Is nn interest or right In the thing Itself. Thus , if nn estate is conveyed to n trustee , with power to sell , this power cannot , bo revoked because the trustee has an interest in the es tate Itself ; ho holds the end right to the property. Again , If the o cr of a patent assigns one-tenth of It to a second party anil gives him power of attorney in connection , said power of attorney cannot bo revoked because - cause the assignee has an interest ir. the pat ent itself. But If a claimant gives n power Of attorney to an agent to prosecute his claim for a contingent fee , this power is not coupled with nn interest and can bo revoked at the pleasure of the claimant. When the agent agrees to work for a contingent fee , ho ac cepts a very serious part of the "contingen cy , " the possibility of having his power re voked. And a fee contingent on the success ful prosecution of a claim can. in no way , be construed as an "interest" in the claim which would render a power of attorney irrevoc able. * Indian Doprcdutfoiifl. The last congress passed an act designed to facilitate the presentation and collection of the claims of citizens of the United States for depredations committed by the members of the various Indian tribes since July 1 , 1805. This act provides for the speedy hearing and determining of all such claims , and allows nt- tornoys presenting them to charge from 15 to 30 per cent. It is believed that the work can be done for from 5 per cent and upwards of the amount of the claims as allowed by the proper court , thus effecting a largo saving to claimants who have in the past paid from : ii : > n to .10 per cent for such work. By the terms of this law all claims must bo prosecuted bc- fore the court of claims within three years from the date of its passage or that they will forever bo barred ; so that it Is desirable that persons who hnvo suffered from Indian dep redations in the states of Nebraska , Kansas , . Iowa and South Dakota should at once com municate with THE BIB : bureau of claims and have the matter put in proper shape and pre sented to the court immediately. Claimants should take notice that by the terms of the law above alluded to , all con tracts at present existing between themselves nnd attorneys , wherever located , are ren dered null and void ; therefore , it will bo nec essary for them to engage other attorneys or mnko other contracts in nccordanco with the terms jof the Inw. Tine BEE bureau of claims undertake ) the collection of any such claims on terms infinitely moro favorable than these offered by the attorneys and agents who have endeavored to make largo profits from this class of business , us its desire is to benefit only a class of its readers who are illy able to afford to pay the exorbitant fees for such services , which re quire only honesty , intelligence and persist ence in their presentation to bring them tea a successful issue. Claims that nro Hied first under the new law will naturally have first attention in the court of claims , and therefore it is desirable to get them into the hands of the proper authorities ns soon as possible. 'f.CTVS. Why The Bco Hureau was EstnulinliL-d nnd It.s Alms. When the San Francisco Examiner estab lished its claims bureau it printed the follow ing prospectus : The Examiner has received so mt ny com plaints from its subscribers in various locali ties on the coast of the delay , extortionate charges and unsatisfactory woric performed lot' them by the various claim agents that it lias decided to establish in Washington a bureau for the collection of nil legitimate claims against the government or its various departments. This bureau will bo in chaix'O of its Washington correspon dent , who has had much experience ) in the prosecution of claims against the various departments of the government. Jharges for services performed by this jurenu will bo nominal nnd designed to cover jnly the actual cost of the work and such egal services as may bo necessary in order to properly present claims to the heads of the various departrnonts and the court of claims in the supreme court. A Goner .HH urposc. Hon. Blngor Herman , chairman of the com- inlttco on claims , house of representatives , D. C. , in communicatlni. with W. It. Hearst , editor and proprietor of the San Francisco ixauilner , and who Is also ut the bead of the iOxammer bureau of claims with which Tin : OMAHA BEE is associated , says : "The claims already filed in the interior department aggregate $21,000,000 , as per valuation , and the greater proportion repre sent Isosses br poor people ami by these of our citizens who ventured their lives and their properties In the then wild nnd un- levoloped west. This session of congress has now recognized the right of these claimants to Indemnity from ( the gov ernment and to compensation for these osses In the earlier years by the hostile or lopiedatlng Indians. But few of these PL-O- 110 had a Hope that the tl y of compensation Xould ever come , as since IH.VJ but little posi tive assurance was over given them by con gress of llnal payment. In the mcanwhllo nany claim agents , taking advantage of the discouragement of these claimants , easily lersiiaded them to cnior into contracts and [ eo agreements whereby IKIH , and oven Ml per cent was agreed to bo paid in the event if the payment of the claim , thus enriching .heso agents and diminishing the payment to .he claimant to this extortionate and unjus- itlable amount. Thin manifest injustice was ippnrcnt to congress , and It bucumo our effort , while providing a remedy of payment o the claimant , also to protect him against the sbylocu attorneys mid claim agents , and to this end wo provide in the now law : " 'That all sales , transfers or assignments of any such claims borutnforo or hereafter nadc , except such as tiuvo occurred in the luo administration of decedent's estates , and 111 contracts heretofore made lor fees and at- owance.s 10 claimant's attorneys are hereby declared void , and all warrants Issued by the secretar.V'Of the treasury In payment ot such Judgments shall bo inudo payable nnd lellverod only to the claimant or his lawful loirs , executors or administrators or trans- 'orco .under administrative proceedings , except so much thereof as shall bo allowed the claimants' attorneys by the court for irosccutlng said claim , which may bo paid jlivct to such attorneys , and the allowances to the claimants' attorneys shall bo regulated tnil fixed by the court at ilia time of render- ng Judgment tn each ouu and entered on ecord as part of thu findings thereof , but in 10 casn shall the allowance c-xcomi 15 par . out of the Judgment recovered , except In rase of claims of less than ? .
