An lovestigation of Alleged Pension Otlice Abuses Begun, SECRETARY NOBLE DETEEMINED TO PRORE THE MATTER TO THE BOTTOM—COMMISSIONER TAN- NEK AFFORDING FACILITIES OF THE WORK OF THE COMMISSION APPOINTED, The Secretary of the Interior to-day issued an order designating Dr. George Ewing and H. , L.

Campbell of the assistant Attoruey General's office a a commission to make an | | investigation of the cases of rerating pensions | by the pension oificials during the past year. The object of the Secretary in appointing the commission is to ascertain exactly what has been done and the evidence upon which the cases were rerated. The commission will pay special attention to the rerating of pensioners ) employed in the pension office. The Secretary | has been very much troubled about the condi- tion of affairs in the pension oiice, and he wante to uscertiin exactiy what the facts are. Commissiouer Tauner is also desirous of a FREE AND FULL INVESTIGATION. | and when the members of the commission called on him this morning he directed Capt. Fisher, the chief clerk of the ottice, to provide | a room for them and to afford them all the fa- cilities ueeded in carrying on their work. ‘The room ocenpied by the commussion ix on the third tloor of the pension building and they went to work at once to examine cases, Their investigations will cover oPrae of’ a year back and u still longer period if it is deemed becessury.. It 1s stated on good authority that @ rather LOOSE PRACTICE OF RERATING was began under Commissioner Black, and gradually became more and more liberal, When Commissioner Tanner came in and an- | nounced his policy of great liberality to old | | soldiers in the matter of peusions, it had un in- | i fluence upon the reratiug which was then | going on, and gave it even greater scope and !

They have had the idea, | he suid, that the commissioner wanted to be generous to the pensioners, aud in consequence | their decisions were thought to be all right as ' long ax they were in favor of the claimants, | Since, however, this recent agivation about re- rating and violations of the law the barometers have gone down, uoting a change in the official atmosphere, He said that it was really ditticult to get any but ordinary cases through now. TO REPORT FACTS, NO MATTER WHO IS HURT. ‘Lhe members of the commission have no idea when they will finish their work. They have instructions to muke a thorough investigation and report the facts to the secretary without regard to who is burt It is understood that the scope of their work will be cularged xo as to include the matter of making cases special.

Com- missioncr Tanner has gived instruction» that the ord of cases made special, with the names of the attorneys in the cases. be pre- pared. Lt will be submitted to the commission aud they cun include that in their report. THE FRIENDS OF COMMISSIONER TANNER claim that he courts und invites the fullest in- vestigation, aud they assert that the report of the commission will show that the commis- sioner, in his offical conduct, stands uuim- | pe ached, It is, however, usserted by others of | is tricnds that he has been “in the hands of | the Phiiistines,” and that his confidence has | j been betrayed and things have been done | which he was ignorant of.

It essential that apy method for makin; rates. should be practicable. and not afford a cover for dixcrimination und in- justice. The only practicuble mode yet de- vised for making through export rates. as ap- Pears from past experience, is to add to the es- tablished inland rates from the interior to the seabourd the current ocean rates. Under the amendments of March 2, 1889, to the statute, requiring ten days’ previons notice of advances and three days’ pre- vious notice of reduction in rates, they cannot be vuried from day to day. or oftener, to met fluctuations in ocean rates, Whenever a tariff is established for thandise biiled or in- tended for export by sea, and ocean rates are not specified, either because of fluctuations or for uny other reason, 80 that only the charge for inland transportation is definitely fixed, the tariff as filed and made public should show the rate charged by the inland carrier or carriers tothe point of export, including all terminal charges and expenses, aud shou!d also show in what manner the through rate to the point of ultimate destination is to be determined, whether by the addition of the ocean rate from time to time prevailing, or how otherwise. THE MARITIME CONFERENCE, The Attitude of Envland in Regard to it Explained, Mr, W. F. Wharton, actings ecretary of state, said to-day, speaking of the statement made in the house of commons yesterday by Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary secretary for the for- eign office, that no agreement has yet been made with the American government for the program of the maritime conference to be held in Washington October 16 next, that it referred only to the routine of the couference, England has accepted the invitation of the United States to participate in the conference, Mr. Wharton said. with the proviso that the program of sub- jects to be discussed satisfactory. This program has been drawn up by the commis- sioners of the United States, headed by Ad- miral Franklin, aud submitted to the English goverument. No answer has yet been received. the program covers a great many subjects un- der the general head of navigation of vesvels, for the regulation of which the conference was called. Itecan be modified, and probably will be, aa it is largely suggestive in cheracter, There is no reason to suppose, Mr. Wharton says, that England will not take part in the conference. Several smaller nations. however, have not yet accepted the invitation to send commissioners, and are probably waiting until Englind takes final action in the premises, AMERICAN ENGINEERS, How They Were Received in Germany— Preseuted to the Kmpress Augusta.

Two points are specially objectionabl first, the queen intimates that she does not in- tend to press for grants for grandchildren, ex- cept in the case of the Prince or Wales’ chil- dren, but nothing final or binding is said in the report. The radicals consider the enormous wealth of the queen, thing definite on this point, Since Prince Al- bert’s death she has received nearly three- quarters of a million of unearned increment from the duke ot Lancaster alone. The second main objection will be to the grants beimg to the Prince of Wales as trustee to his children, instead of to his children directly. The prince is believed to be very much embarrassed already. The arrangement may lead to further — to pgrliament on behalf of his chil- en, ‘the government withdraws the western Aus- traha bill which will be renewed next session, but a tighter hand will be kept on the crown | lands, The country will not stand another plauting of a handful of squatters on lands nearly as big as Europe.

He had been advertised to appear in asparring exhibition last night in an uptown theater with Thomas Lees, but the mayor issued @ peremptory order to the manager of the theater not to permit it, and so the house was not opened.
