WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. The rcargument
of the Long pension case In the district court
ot the District of Columbia docs not awaken
much Interest. Commissioner Lochren Is
confident that the same opinion will bo
reached. In his annual report the com
missioner reviewed the Long case at seine
length. In which he said :
"This case lias attracted wlilo attention
becauEo oC the ( act that the pensioner Is one
ot the Judges ot the supreme court of
Michigan , and has upon the rostrum and
through the press unstinting- ! denounced
the bureau and myself for alleged arbitrary
and Illegal proceedings In the reduction of
his pension , and because of the suits Insti
gated by him In this district against myself
to prevent such reductions. "
After reviewing proceedings In the
ease , Commissioner Lochren says : "It ts
quite clear that under an honest but mis
taken interpretation of the pension laws by-
prior commissioners this pensioner has ob
tained from the treasury more than $7,000
to which ho was never lawfully entitled.
Should ho make good his assertions that ho
will take this case for decision to the
supreme court ot the United States he may ,
when It shall be finally decided , consider the
propriety of returning this money to the
treasury. "
In the same report the commissioner dis
cusses the ttork ot special examiners which
have been criticised In congress and else
where. The commissioner says : "The re
port of the chief of the division exhibits the
character and Importance of Its work.
Case ] which appear to have merit , but In
which claimants are unable to obtain es
sential evidence are , with such Information
In | respect to witnesses as the bureau can
obtain , placed In the hands of special exam
iners , who are often able to discover and
obtain tha evidence necessary to prove the
claims. , The larger part of the force is
always kept employed in this chus of work.
Dut the special examination division , aided
aa it Is by thD law divisions , constitutes tlio
main protetclon which the government has
against fraud and Imposition.
DISHONEST ATTORNEYS RESPONSIBLE.
"Most of th& pension attorneys and claim
agents are- capable and honorable , but some
among them are the most dishonest nnd
unscrupulous ot men , dealing habitually In
perjury , forgery anil every species of fraud ,
Without special examiners the villainy of
such men would operate without check or
fear of detection and bo generally successful ,
and It Is too often now In spite ot all safe
guards.
"Such men attract the unworthy as clients
the bounty Jumpers , coward. * and deserters
and the fraudulent mallgners. As many ot
their crimes are discovered their fraudulent
cases overthrown and themselves and their
guilty confederates brought to punishment by
the work of special examiners ( there were 19) )
convictions for pension frauds latt year ) , it
Is but natural that such men and their
clients should be loiM and unceasing In de
crying special examiners as spies , and seek
Ing with the aid of unscrupulous partisan
newspapers and politicians to create preju
dice against ipcclal examiners in the minds
of deserving pensioners and others. The
worthy and deserving soldiers , who are
still modest In the race for pensions , are
elbowed to the rear by the unworthy , who
are as importunate In their contlnuo.1 struggle
for pensions and increases as when operating
for bounties. They crowd themselves to
the front at soldiers' gatherings with resolu
tlons for rnoro pensions and denunciation !
of every regulation tending to unmask or
prevent dishonesty and fraud as 'unfriendly
to the soldier. ' Their Insatiable grec-d and
disclaiming of alt resolutions mide to Insure
honesty and restrain or discover fraud ,
shamelessly proclaimed , lias done much lo
lower the regard which would otherwise b *
universally manifested tor the deserving sol
dier.
dier."U
"U hai been reported that the attempt to
discover frauds Is a new movement an !
credit being glveh me in that direction to
which I am not ialrly entitled , "
FRAUDS HAVH- ALWAYS EXISTED. .
The commissioner .then copies extracts
from reports of c'AmmlsslonerH ever since
1867 to show that1 tnti1 utmost care Is neces
sary lo prevent fraudulent pensions , after
which he adds : "I have selected the six ex
tracts from the reports of the commissioners
since the civil war to show that special ex
aminations , fraudulent claimants , dishonest
claim agents , and the practice of dropping
unworthy pensioners from the rolls prevailed
In the past. Dut In those early days the
frauds In pension cases did not find active
champions In public men nor much support
from the public. "
The provision placed upon the pension ap
propriation bill December 21. 1893. preventing
the commissioner from suspending pensions
until fraud has actually been established ,
the commissioner says , has been carried out ,
but with no advantage to the bureau.
"The effect of this provision Is to take
from the officers of this bureau the power to
Interfere where they plainly see the treasury
being plundered by the fraudulent an4 un
worthy. I could cite numberless Instances
of pensioners havingno title , pensioners
drawing more than one pension , widows who
have remarried who continued to draw pen
sions , ami all manner of fraudulent and Ille
gal pensions , where the treasury would con
tinue to bo plundered for a tlmo with the
knowledge of the. officers of this bureau
who , because of that provision , were ren
dered powerless to prevent it , "
It Is true you can buy baking powder for
10 cents a pound. One pound of that kind

ten times as much worl : as the cheaper pow

WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. Colonel Charles
Ileywood , commandant of the United States
marlno corps , In his annual report to the
secretary of the navy , asks for an Increase of
the corps , Ho says that by keeping the
number ot men up to tha legal allowance
last year the duty was performed with less
hardship to the men , and. In consequence , the
number of desertions very materially de
creased ,
The commandant la satisfied that deser
tions In the marine corps were caused In a
largo measure by the hard work the men
were called upon to perform. Last year
they were able to hnvo two days off guard ,
which was a great relief from the necessity
of "day on and day off , " to which they had
been subjected. Still , In comparison with
the army , where men ore never less than five
days off guard , this Js hard ; duty and Is too
much of a tax on the physical energies of
the men , and to produce oven better results
there should be nir'lncreaso In the number
of privates. The demand Increases every
day , both on shorojiim afloat , in view ot the
many new vessels TvSTcii will soon bo placed
In commission. ' <
The commandant ) strongly reccommcnds an
appropriation for barracks at Sltka , Alaska ,
lie speaks with pride of the service ren

fair , and particularly * In California during
the strike. He encloses testimonials from
nrlgadler General Huger and other officers ,
and says : "It Is'roost gratifying to me to
know that the marines have again proven
themselves efficient and useful In the per
formance of any kind of work assigned them.
My thanks are due. and heartily tendered , to
all the officer * and'rn'en composing tha corps ,

WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. The United States
supreme court today reversed the decision of
the circuit court In the case ot John C. Eno ,
formerly president of the Second National
bank of New York , who was convicted of
forgery in the New York state courts about
ten years ago. Eno raised the point that
the state courts were without Jurisdiction and
that he could be- tried only In the federal
courts. This view of the law was upheld
by the circuit court , but Is upset by today's
decision of the supreme court , which re
manded the case to the state courts.
The ground on which Eno resisted state
court jurisdiction was that the offense , un
der the banking laws of the United Stales ,
was under the exclusive Jurisdiction of the
federal court. The case has been watched
with Interest by bank officers and others.
Justice Harlan rendered the decision of tlio
court , while Justices Field and Shlras ills-
sented In nn opinion denying the jurisdiction
of the state courts ,
NEW YORK , Oct. 29. John C. Eno re
turned to New York City on February 20 ,
1893 , after an absence of nine years In Can
ada , and went to the office of Edward
Mitchell , United States district attorney , and
surrendered himself on the Indictment
against him by the United States grand Jury ,
found on June 7 , 1891. He was taken before
Judge Wallace In the circuit court and ad
mitted to ball In 120,000 , On the following
day he appeared in general sessions and
pleaded not guilty to six Indictments against
him found by the grand Jury. Ho gave ball
In $10,000 on one Indictment , but his counsel.
Colonel Dlles , argued that the other five did
not come -within the Jurisdiction of the state
courts. Judge Cowing look the opposite view
and a writ of habeas corpus was granted by
Judge Wallace. On March 27 Judge Wallace
ordered the release of Eno on the five In
dictments , declaring the case came properly
under the federal Jurisdiction as related to
the national banking act. On May 1C the
Indictment against Eno by the United States
grand Jury was dismissed by Judge Benedict
In the United States circuit court , criminal
branch , on the ground that It was defective in
that It was not sufficiently specified. Later
In the year Eno was rearralgned and held In
$30.000 ball an the same charges , The de
cision ot the supreme court therefore re
vives the five Indictments found by the gen
eral sessions grand Jury and he Is now on ball
on the sixth , as well us on a charge filed by
a United States district attorney.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. Justice Drown
delivered an opinion In the supreme court
today in tlio case of Charles E , Lewis against
Plma county , Arizona , Involving the validity
of railroad bonds In aid of the Arizona nar
row gauge railroad , authorized by the terrl
torlal legislature. The supreme court of
Arizona declared the bonds wcro Illegal. In
the decision rendered today that decision is
confirmed. The opinion holds that under the
federal statutes Arizona had no right to
authorize a county to issue bonds except for
Internal Improvements , anil that a railroad
could not bo properly considered an Internal
county Improvement.
Chief Justice FuKer handed down a de
cision in the case of the United States against
Rarl D. Cos , Involving title to the Algodonez
land grant of Arizona , upon a motion to dis
miss on the ground that congress had no
power to confer upon the supreme court Jurisdiction -
diction to entertain an appeal from a decree
of tlio court of irlvato land claims , by which
this case was originally tried , because the
latter is not vested with political power In
virtue of any provisions of the constitution.
Tha motion to dismiss was denied and the
decisions of the private land claims court.
The decision concludes as follows :
"As wherever the United States exercises
the power of government , whether under
specific grant or through the dominion and
sovereignty of plenary authority , as over the
territories , that power include * the ultimate
executive , legislative and judicial power. It
fallows that the judicial action ol all inferior
courts established may. In accordance with
the constitution , be subjected to the appel
late jurisdiction ot ( ho supreme Judicial
tribunal of the government. There has never
been any question In regard to this as ap
plied to territorial courts , and no reason can
bo perceived for applying a different rule to
the adjudications of the court of private land
claims over property In the territories.

As a result of Ilia threatened smallpox
epidemic In this city , nnd the consequent

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. The Evening
Star publishes the following story , which gives
promise of an outcome of Interest to the
public. "If current reports are true , there Is
a syndicate writer In New York whoso name
Is to bo found at the foot of articles In many
cities of the union who will have a very
unpleasant quarter of an hour with tha
Washington correspondents before the next
session ot congress shall end. The story has
reached hero , vouched for on authority that
would seem to be credltab o that one of the
Incidents of the Sugar trust campaign In
Washington last winter was the raising of a
purse by the Sugar trust people to bo given
to this enterprising correspondent to bo dis
tributed In Washington among the- press
people where 'It would do tbo mast good. '
In the opinion of those who furnished the
money , that place was the pockets of
those representatives ot the pros-i of the
country here who , with or without right , are
supposed to have Influence In congress and In
the making of public opinion throughout the
country. There are Intimations even that
the men i\ho furnished the money did sa
under the Impression It was to be distributed
pro rata among the representatives of the
press In Washington , In the expectation that
the comments upon the operations of the
Sugar trust would be either less severe or that
they would bo altogether withheld. It U ,
of course , assumed that the distributor of
thin fund was to recelvo his commission
There are Intimation * , oven , that a Hat waa
furnished of correspondents to whom this
fund waa to be distributed , fliul the expecta
tion was that it would be expended In part
In dinners and in part In wayj that would bo
appreciated by those for whom It was In
tended.
"It there Is anything In this story , It li
to say that not one dollar of this alleged
fund ever passed to the representative cor
respondents for whom It Is represented that
It was designed. The man who undertook
to disburse this fund did so with the full
knowledge that it would not be safe for him
to approach any of the gentlemen whose
names may have appeared on this pretended
list for any such purpose whatever. Ho not
only Is not on relations of confidence with
them , but ho never calls upon any of them
when In Washington.
"Efforts era being rnado to ascertain the
( ruth of thla report , and If it shall bo found
true some of the correspondents Intend that
ho will hear moro later , possibly in the
courts and probably before a committee ot
Investigation. "

THE DALLES , Ore. . Oct. 29. After t\5w
weeks steady work on the part of detectives
and local officers the parties who robbed the

$14,000 have at last been apprehended and
placed under arrest , nnd all but $200 of the
money recovered , Frank Klein and Otis
Savage , young men of respectable parentage ,
living here , are In jail , having made a com
plete confession of the theft. Many clews
were followed by the- detectives , but all
proved fruitless until Sheriff Driver sug
gested that possibly Klein and Savage , who
have been living In Idleness about town and
who once belonged to what Is known locally
as the Iliiutliorne gang of desperadoes , might
be Implicated. It wns reported that the
young men were separated from the gang

store here of n lot of guns , pistols and am * " \
munition and left for their rendezvous near rr *
Mount Hood. U Is said the only clew to
the robbers was that n bar of steel sharpened
at one end and fastened Into a hook In the
other was left , which was found beside tlio
empty treasure box on the floor of the ex
press office on the morning of the robbery. 7f
Following the suggestion of Sheriff Driver ,

ited the shop and living room ot Klein and
Savage , which Is In a barn In Klein's yard.
The valls of the room bristled'with guna of
( very description and the room also con
tained an anvil and tools for doing light
blncksmlthlng. Sheriff Driver , learning this ,
took the steel tools to Salem Howe , one of
the gang who is confined In the penitentiary ,
nnd from him learned it was fashioned In
this shop by members of the Hawthorne
gang from a drill stolen from a Union
Pacific locomotive at the lime they con
templated train robbery. Howe also stated
that Klein , who la by trade an expert lock
smith , possessed a key to the express office.
Armed with this Information. Mr. Driver ,
accompanied by Detective Simons , returned
to The Dalles and caused the arrest of
Klein and Savage. They were captured
without leslstance at their room and confined
In separate apartments at the hotel wheru
District Attorney Jayne and Mr , Simons at
tempted to gain a confession from them.
They withstood all advances tor a tlmo.
Finally Klein broke dawn and sobbing con-
fesssd the while matter , telling where the
money was hidden , Search was Instituted for
tha money , and a bag containing $7. ! > 55 In
gj'd was found In a cesspool under a Chinese
w.ish hou20 , which once belonged ( o the
Savage estate. Two bags with $1,500 In
silver were found under an old building
lu-ar the Cosmopolitan hotel , and one bag ,
which had contained $5,000 In gold and from
which $200 had been extracted , was dis
covered burled In Klein's back yard. Sav
age at first maintained stolid alienee when
told of KIcln'B ccnfesiilon , aaylng ho waa
innocent of the crime , but wh ° n confronted
by his pal had nothing moro to say. Klein
also confessed that they had robbed the
