RUSH FOR PENSIONS
Eleven Thousand Received
Under the New Regulations
Washington. May 4. Although the
recent order constituting the age limit
of 62 years as evidence of physical dis
ability in granting pensions has been in
effect barely three weeks the pension
office has already been swamped with
applications under the order. Up to
Saturday the number of applications
filed had reached a total of 11,000 and
they are still rolling In at the rate of
several thousand a day. One reason
for the great haste In filing the appli
cations is that, although the payment
of the pension may not begin for sever-
n months, they actually date from the
(lm of filiner and the accrued Denslon i
will be paid in a lump when the certi
ficate is issued.
The minimum pension under the or
der is $6 a month, which covers the
62 year limit, and ranges up to $12. ac
cording to age above that limit. Con
gress appropriated $1,500,000 for the
payment of these pensions before June
30. but Commissioner Ware thinks the
first certificate under the new order can
not be issued before June 1. and that
the entire sum will not be disbursed be
fore the end of the month. After the
beginning of the fiscal year, July 1, the
payments will be made from the regu
lar renalon appropriation.

Washington Society Not What

Washington, May 4. Bishop Satter-
lee, in his address today to the ninth
annual convention of the Diocese of
Washington, found considerable fault
with 'fashionable society in the capital
and compared unfavorably the present
conditions with those previously pre
vailing. He said In part:
"Dangers have arisen that the nine

CANAL MILLIONS
Preliminaries to Be Arranged
- Before It Is Paid
"Washington. May 4. The secretary
of the treasury has found he is unable
to carty out the contract arranged with
Morgan & Co. by the attorney general,
approved by the cabinet, by which the
$40,000,000 due the canal company was
to be paid over. No money will be paid
on tha $40,000,000 owed to the French
Interests until Morgan & Co. have da
posited security to the amount of $40w
000,000. when it will be appointed special
disbursing agent of the government;
and not a fiscal agent.
It is thought that the security will
be deposited by the last of the week,
whereupon the great warrant will be
drawn. The plan for this payment la
set f oTtlT in a letter from Attorney Gen
eral Knox received by the president
this morning. Mr. Knox reports that
he has made all arrangements with the
canal com nan and Moreran & Co..
whereby the latter are designated as
agents to make the money transfer.
The $40,000,000 is to be deposited with
Morgan & Co. at once, upon the deliv
ery by the canal company to the
United States of all the property in
cluded in the purchase. So that the
deposit of $40,000,000 with Morgan &'Co.
by the United States is accepted by
the canal as equivalent to payment for
the purposes of a delivery of the prop
erty to the United States. Morgan &
Co. will make the distribution.

The attorneys for the defendants
took out a writ of error and defendants
are out on bail. The case will go , up
to the circuit court of appeals. Great
interest has ben shown in the trial of
this case, because of the prominence of
the defendants and because of the mag
nitude of the charges. The trial began
Tuesday morning of last week and a
large number of witnesses from Ken
tucky, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and other
states were examined. The defense
did not put any witnesses on the stand.

dominated by the bad trusts, which the
rank and file will soon discover. The
Democracy should fight all trusts. It

QUADRENNIAL
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
A North Carolina Negro
Chicago-Closing ot
a Damper .on a
Tribulations
By THOMAS
Washington, D. C, May . Special.
A North Carolina negro was yesterday
elected one of the two delegates from
the District of Columbia to the Repub
lican national convention. John F.
Cook, who at one time represented Cas
well county in the legislature, was the
lucky negro, and his fellow delegate is
Dr. Robert Reyburn, wno was one of
the attending physicians at the-bedside
of President Garfield. Washington has
the privilege of voting only once In
every four years, and that right comes
when delegates are chosen to national
conventions. The Republicans held
their primary election yesterday and
the Democrats will hold theirs tomor
row. In the Republican primary 7,558
votes were cast, the bulk of them being
those of negyoes, who outnumber the
white Republicans two to one. The ne
groes always have one of the dele
gates. Jn -fact there 'were three tickets
in the field, and all of them had a ne
gro candidate.
There is a red hot contest on between
the Hearst faction and the regular or
ganisation, headed by James I, Nor
ris, in the Democratic primary, which
will come off tomorrow. The indlca-
J tions point to an anti-Hearst victory
During the pat few days there has
been a decided falling off in Hearst en
thusiasm in certain QuarteTS. One ot
the reasons assigned for this eohdition
is that Mr. .Hearst has closed his bar
rel. A month ago the editor-statesman
could be -approached by the humblest
citizen in the land, whereas now some
j of his former champions complain that
he is hemmed in by secretaries wno re
fuse to let any one get next, to himj.
This situation is : having a dampening
effect upon the boom. -. -
Ex-Senator Marion Butler, who main
tains elaborate legal ofllces in Washing-,
ton and New Yorkand who nominally
maintains an office in Raleigh, proposes
to extend his practice to the southwest.
He has decided to establish a branch
office in the Indian Territory and has
formed a partnershrp with J. M. Vale,
who will be . in charge j of the western
office. The ex-senator does , a large
western practice,' much of it pertain
ing to Indian claims.
Thomas R. Jernigan, the former
North Carolina newspaper editor, who
has been engaged in the practice of law
at Shanghai since his retirement as
consul general there, is a victim of the
wrath of Consul General Goodnow at
the Chinese city, who is hampering him
in the practice of law in every way
that he oan. Reports of Goodnow's
high handed doings reached Washing
tonf3everal weeks ago and charges of a
sea ;us nature were filed against him
Tvr n.n American who has lived at
Shanghai. Since then Senator Simmons
has received a letter from Mr. Jernigan,
telling him of Goodnow's spiteful work
against him. The North Carolina sen
ator called at the state department and
presented the facts, which will d in
vestigated. Mr. Jernigan 1 the best
lawyer in Shanghai and has. by far, the
largest practice of any lawyer there.
When Goodnow succeeded him as con
sul general the rmer Tar Heel showed
him every attention possible. His re
ward for this kindness has resulted in
his being barred from practice before
the ' consulate, and now; Goownow Is
seeking to injure him in other ways.
A Tenittive Roosevelt Platform
President Roosevelt told a gentleman
yesterday that if he could not get-sucn
a man a he wishes for ebalrman of
the national committe:he will name a
sub-chairman and direct the campaign
in person through him. This declara
tion brings to mind the president's re
cent declaration - that "The platform
must be short, incisive, decisive. pre
cise and concise." The New YorkSun
this morning sized up the sItuatIon.edi
toriaHy when it submitted this as a
first draught of a platform to meet tha
president's exfwessed wishes:
"Whereas, Theodore BowjeTeTt Is the
national Republican party; be. It
"Resolved, Tha we emphatically en

"We believe implicitly and unquall

" Whatever Theedore Roosevelt
