The Part ftr im ttepaf Constantinople. Sept. IP. United States Minister 'Leishman has presented a demand to the Turkish government sions to those who marry soldiers aftef soldiers become pensioners. He also discusses the nece"Ity of a law to make some provision for superannuated clerks, and says that In the pension bureau alone there are &00 employes who are sixty years old or over. That he is desirous of making some impoi tant changes In the pension system is shown by the following statement: "I recommend a different method of examining applicants for pensions. The present system is a most uncertain, expensive and unsatisfactory method. The system is liable to outside control and political dictation and generates an enormous amount'of political fric tion. I suggest boards constituted of experts under civil service rules who should go from place to place on fixed days, giving examinations and receiv ing testimony regarding the conditions of the applicants and making reports thereon. The territory could be divid ed into circuits and the board could serve outside of the s:ates of their domicile. It will be observed that the number of applicants and demands up on the bureau were 25 per cent, larger last year than the. annual average ot r the dismissal nf Rheshid Pasha, J the past ten years and that the bureau vail o. Beirut, on the ground that so long as he Is retained In office the lives and property of Americans in Beirut are Insecure. The porte has not yet replied to the demand nor has there ben any development In connection with other American claims.

He says that Naxln Pasha, .h- new acting goxernrrent of Beirut, .'a a splendid man and that good re ults were bound to follow his pres ume there. It Is apparent from the action of Mln h.T Leishman in urging the removal it the governor of Beirut, that the United States government Intends to ihow Turkey that any failure on the rt of the Imperial and local au .horities to give protection to Ameri can, interests w i 11 not be overlooked ly. The town was then perfectly tran quil. According to the latest telegrams, however, the consuls continue to trans act their business with lteshld Pasha, vali of Bslrut. Advices received here late yesterday from that place stated that uneasiness still prevailed among the Christians there and that the exodus to the moun tains continued, but no freh disturb ances had occurred. Rear Admiral Cotton confirms the re port that he can land 500 marines and blue Jackets from the Brooklyn and San Francisco in case of urgent necessity.

While 1 en route from this city to South Bend where he was to speak before the state bankers association Senator Beveridge stopped at Fort Wayne and got a lunch at a railroad restaurant. After he had eaten he nervously went through his pickets and announced to the waiter that he had -no money, but the waite grinned and said that he had had that tried on him before and It would not work. He placed himself between th senator and the door in such a way that he clearly indicated that the bill must be paid. Manager Hubbard was called, but when the senator explained who he was the managed looked at his guest with the slouch hat and no vest with evident suspicion. The senator finally took out his railroad pass and a number of letters and succeeded in; convincing the restaurant man that he was really Indiana's senator. He ! said that he left home with $50 in hrs pocket, but whether he lost it or was robbed on the train he did not know. , The Death of Mrs. Boyeson at Asheville Said to Be Due to a Broken Heart Asheville, N.

There is much spoken here a to the identity of the person indicted by the grand Jury this - week in connection with the post office scandal, who, it Is declared, is even "more prominant po litically than the postmaster general." Gossip has it that this persori is an ex-United States Senator. A second effort to abolish the stamp office of the. internal revenue depart ment at Statesville has - failed. Some weeks ago Mr. Yerkes, ..commissioner of the internal revenue, turned down the request of Collector Harkins for the discontinuance of the .Statesville office.

Sept. 10. Pension Com rnlMioner Ware has completed and for warded to the secretary of the Interior his annual report tor the fiscal year J it ended. In which he makes a num ber of Interesting recommendations for the benefit of the pension bureau. f Commissioner Ware shows that the total cost of pension to the govern- SS vears has teen rr.ent for the past i:.42.17S.l 45.93 In persona paid and HT.934.71 expended in maintaining the pnslon service. He estimates that the rations were received The report explains that In 1890 the cost of the pension system amounted to 1.40per $1,000 of the aggregate wealth of the county. In 1893 It reach ed $2.24. and since then gradually de clined to $1.90 in 1S95. $1.50 in 1900 and $1.32 In the past j-ear. Mr. Ware reports that 113.794 cases were rejected last year, of which 81.107 were applications for Increase In which it wan found that no Increased disabil ity existed, and S0.9is were rejected on medical grounds. A total of 22,800 cases were rejected on legal grounds, many of the claimants being already in re ceipt of pensions. The number of ap- plications for original pension was 228. C02 and the number of applications foi an Increase was 144.083. . Referring to the Spanish war pen sions, Commiasioner Ware states that the total number of pensioners on the rolls of this class is 12.8G2 and that dur ing the past year 11.970 original appli Last year the usual that ladles are shown the work ings of a submarine boat, but Miss Roosevelt had the consent of her fath er and Lieutenant Commander Fletch er was instructed to show her every courtesy. . " At first It was thought that the Moc casin would go out in the bay to make the run, but today Mr. Fletcher thought It would be as well to show the work ings of the boat to Miss Roosevelt at the dock. He did not wish to run the rick of any accident, although the boat Is perfectly safe, and at the last minute abandoned: the run out in the bay. As soon as she was on Board the boat Lieutenant Pianey, the boat's com mander, ordered the hatch closed and sealed and the process of sinking the boat was then gone through with. Tied to her dock the Moccasin was sunk to the bottom of her slip until six feet of water covered her. As soon as the boat had settled on the bottom the sions abolished them, but in two in stances subsequently re-established them. In the case of two states, how ever, the ablitlon of railroad commis sions does not indicate a disposition to relieve railways from public control. On the contray, the purpose was to clear the way for the organization of a system of control bound to be more effective than a railroad commission. The state railroad commissions are composed of two, classes, which for convenience may be termed the "weak commissions" and the "strong com missions," the former including those which do not have control over pas senger and freight "rates, the latter those which are clothed with the power to exercise such control. Of the twenty-eight commissions in existence in 1890 fifteen! were strong and thirteen were weak; of" the thirty commissions existing in 1902, twenty, were strong and ten were wealc .

The tendency during the past twelve years, so far as the expressed will of legisla tors is concerned, is in the direction of more efficient control over rates. A study of the railway statutes dur ing the past twelve years indicates a slight distrust of the ability of railroad commissions at at present organized to control the railway situation. It also shows a tendency (not as yet very marked) toward including other cor porations as well as railway corpora tions undef the control of state boards. The report also contains an extended discussion of railway taxation; They Eat Anything. and Are Proof Against Zero Weather 1 . . .. i New Orleans, Sept. 10.
