His plan to abolish the pen sion agency at Topeka and place it ‘at St Louis bas been approved by the President. It also abolishes eight other pension agencies. It | will go into effect in September. of the Secretary of the Interior to give Missouri a big Federal place which may be useful in the future Kansas politicians their hopes fixed on the fat oftice of United States pension agent at Tope- ka, and who have come to regard it as theirs by right of locatior,will be aghast when they learn of this action jof Secretary Francis The argument in favor of St Louis is that there are better postal facilities than at Topeka. By this order Kansas loses one of its best Federal positions,but Seeretary Francis estimates it will save the goverment $150,000 per an num. The change was made possible by an amendment to the law governing the disbursing of pensions, which amendment was approved March 23, 196. Itrequired that all pension ers should, after that date, be paid by checks remitted by mail. R-- ports from the pension agencies, in reply to inquires as to the operation ot the new law, were to effect that under this plan the pensioners are paid much more promptly; that pos- sibility of error is minimized, and that upon the whole it is much more satisfactory to the pensioaers than Number of Pension Agencies, ABOLISHED | Louis Made Distributing Point for | It is a shrewed move on the part) who have had!

The agents also ad- vise that the pensioners receive their pensions when remitted by mail at their homes, where, being surround ed by family influences, the pension eris much more likely to make a judicious disposition of his pension money. Under the previous law many pensioners collected their quarterly payments in person, and, under the influence of bad associa tion, were often induced to apply these payments unwisely and deprive their families of the benefits thereof. This executive order will go into effect September 1 next, its execu tion having been postponed until that date in order that no pensioner should suffer inconvenience in con Sequence of delay in receiving his pension, aud to give ample time for the removal of the rolls and records from the agencies discontinued The consolidation was made unit ting existing agencies and the entire jurisdiction thereof in order that no expense should be incurred by the making of new rolls. The agencies at Concord, N. H., and Augusta,Me., are discontinued, and payments hitherto made there are ordered made from the agency at Boston, Mass. ; the pensioners heretofore paid at Buffalo, N. Y., are to be paid from New York city agency;those at Pitts- burg, from the Philadelphia agency; those at Louisville and Kunoxsviile, from Washington; those at Detroit, from Indianapolis; those at Milwau kee, from Chicago; those at Des Moines and Topeka, from St. Louis, where a new agency is established A new agency is established at St. Louis because the of the better mail facilities there than at Des Monies or Topeka, and for the fur- ther reason that there is a govern- ment building at St. Louis, which can be occupied without cost to the goyernment; and there is also a sub- Treasury there. A pension agency was removed from St. Louis to To- peka in 1882. There are more pen. sioners now in Missouri than in agency.

The Secretary of the Interior is charged with the execution of the order and directed to cause the agencies to be grouped in the manner provided by the act of March 3, 1891, which requires that each pensioner shall be paid quarterly and distributes the pay ments atthe different agencies in such a manner as to be most con venient to the Treasury officials at Washington and the sub-treasury. The estimated saving to the gov- ernment is as follow:: SECT ETS spn ete eae Salaries, 9 agents, $1,000 per annam.. Contingent experses of agencies dis- continued. 10,182 Rent for agencies discontinued........ 9,550 Dotar es cect as eee $161,407 The estimated caving in clerk hire is based upon tho cost of that item at the two largest agencies in the service, namely, Columbus and To- peka. From those agencies the pensioners are paid at an annual cost of 25 cents per capita for clerk hire, After the consolidation, the cost for clerk hire will amount, at 35 cents per capita, to $339,737, while that | item for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, arwounted to $445,412 The following dicontinued agen cies pay the rents given below: Buf falo, $2,400; Detroit $2,400; Milwau kee, $2,500; Topeka, 9, total, $9.550. Secretary Francis does not think any valid objection can be offered to this change, and believes that the saving will be even greater than es timated. Under the new law the agents report that about twice as many pensioners are paid during the first two days of each quarterly pay- ment asunder the old law. This saving can be effected without any inconvenience to the pensioners, and will reduce the annual expenses of the government to just that extent, and may tend to allay in some degree | the opposition that has been mani fested hitherto to the great pension | $295 $2, 25! so weak; why they get tired soeasily; | instead of the elements of strength and | true remedy for all nervous troubles. | Hoods | Plucky Express Messenger Refi Country of a Bandit, Cal, Feb | privated dispatch bas just jceived to the effect that at 107 lock the west bound Santy j train No 1, due at Los Angeles a} joclock yesterday afternoon, jbeld up aad roobed by two | Nelsoo, a small ates {about 6 miles east of Peach Spr, j Ariz | Los Angeles, oe men near i Oue of the robbers was Kilkgg i by the + Xpress Messenger.
