Commissioner Evans says that it will not be necessary to have any additional legislation to grant pensions growing out of the current war. They will all come under the general pension laws, which provide for pensions for disabilities incurred in the military service of the United States.

Commissioner Evans Believes That the Service of Our Army in Tropical Climates Will Be a Potent Pactor in Increasing the Size of the Pension Roll Commissioner Wants Government Relations With Agents Broken Oft. Eagle Bureau, G08 Fourteenth Street. Washington, D. July 27 Up to date sixty two applications for pensions have been filed at the Pension Bureau as a result of deaths and injuries in the military service of the United States, growing out of the war with Spain. Commissioner Evans that this Is the nucleus for an army of pensioners' which bids fair in future years to become a heavy burden on the country.

The officials of the Pension Bureau have been estimating what will be the outcome of the present war in thS way of the formation of a new pension roll. One thing is quite certain, and that is that the number of persons who are to apply for relief immediately after the close of the present War will greatly exceed the number of applications for pensions received during the first ten years following the termination of the War of the Rebellion. Several reasons lead the Pension Bureau officials to arrive at this conclusion, but the most important one is the part that pension attorneys will play in the applications that are to be made. Commissioner Evans said to the Eagle correspondent to day: "The pension attorney sharks are bound to prove a very large factor in the size ot the pension roll charged up against the war with Spain. Wonderful forward strides have been made during the past few years by the attorneys who prosecute pension claims.

They have dissected the pension laws so thoroughly that they are able to get a judgment for a man who falls far short of what the law originally Intended to require of a claimant in order to make him pensionable. They have educated our soldiers and sailors up to such a point that almost every enlisted man believes he should receivo a pension for the slightest ailment. Under these circumstances there will bo very few soldiers who will refuse to place claims for pensions in the hands of smooth attorneys as soon as ttfe war is over. This will insure the filing of an immense number of claims for pensions and from past experience in the way of special legislation, it is believed that by the time the lobbyists get through with their work it will be possible to get nine tenths of tho claims allowed." Commissioner Evans believes also that another important feature that must be considered in reckoning the size of the pension roll which will result from this war is the great number of disabilities that will follow as a result of our men operating in a tropical climate. Already an alarmingly large percentage of General Shatter's men are sick with yellow fever, while typhoid fever, dysentery and other complaints have swept through the Army with disastrous effects.

It is predicted that hundreds of the men mow in Cuba will bo permanently as a result of tho campaigning in a tropical country. Their systems will be more or less wrecked and complaints will be contracted that will hang on through life. The result will be that the applications for pensions will run up iuto thu thousands from these causes alone. According to the latest figures issued by Adjutant General Corbin the strength of the volunteer and regular armies amounts to more than 277,000 men. There are more than 35,000 enlisted men in the Navy, making avtotal of something like 310,000 soldiers and sailors now in the service.

Commissioner Evans Informed the Eagle correspondent that he considered it would be a very conservative estimate to predict that applications for pensions would grow out of at least 25 or 30 per cent, of these enlistments. He thinks that within tho next four or five years there will be on file at the Pension Bureau probably 90,000 applications for pensions. This he regards as a reasonable estimate. Tho last report of the Commissioner of Pensions states that the average annual value of each pension at the close of the year was $133.17, or about $11 a month. As the lowest pension rate is now $8 a month, running from that figure up to $72 a month, $11 a month is a fair average to fix for the pensioners of the present war.

This will make the disbursements for 90,000 pensioners at $11 a month something like $1,000, 000 a month cr $12,000,000 a year. "In view of the fact." said Commissioner Evans, "that during t'he past year 02,000 new claims were allowed from She late war, I do not think thai it Is too liberal an estimate to say that we wlil have fully 90,000 pensioners to look arter in four or five years, aK credited to the present war. Of course a great among army, or some battles wfch an unusuaZly large number of fatalities on our side, would incres.se the percentage or men who will file claims. A few cyclones or an outbreak of yellow fever of a malignant type will also send the figures up. It looks as though the fatalities from wounds is 'to be mucft less than during Che civil war, Tor under the new antiseptic treatment the injuries are healing with splendid results.

The disfiguration of the soldiers of the war resulting from wounds ma terlaUy Increased the pensions. A large part of cur present army is made up of young men without families, but while this will reduce somewhat the number of widows' applications, this will be more than offset hy the number of claims filed by dependent parerxs. This is already indicate in 'the applications thus far filed. Out of fle sixty two claims now in the office, twenty are from parents, i'bo have lest their The flrat claim for pension growing out of the present war waG filed on June 1 by Lida M. Hook, ais th'a widow of William H.

Hook. Company Second Wisconsin Infantry. Hook enlisted a't Milwaukee on May 12, and was at once seiu to Camp Harvey, where the Milwaukee troops wore stationed. On May 14 he was token stek while on duty, and he died on the loth. His widow was immediately besieged by pens Ion attorneys and In a little over two I weeks her papers were made out and on file at the department.

The second application that came In appeared on June 2, and wais from Eliza J. Tunnell, widow of Elijah B. Tunnell, who was killed on the torpedo boat Win slow. Since that date the appli cations have been coming in steadily and now number throe or four a day, four having been received yesterday. An application has been filed for a pension for the wife of Frank B.

Randall, formerly the chief engineer of the revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch. It will be recollMteU thai Randall did from heart failure during the battle of Manila. An application has also been filed for a pension for his minors. Harriet V. Gnidley, widow of Captain Gridley of the Olympia has a claim on file.

As the widow of a naval captain she is entitled to $30 a month. Sadie M. Ellis, the widow of Chief Yeoman George H. Ellis of the Brooklyn, the only man killed during ithe fight with Cervera's fleet, also has an application cn file. Commissioner Evans is keeping all claims filed as a result of this war, separate from the records of the Revolutionary, Mexican, Indian and Civil Wars.

Heretofore the papers relating to these claims have gotten pretiy badly mixed, but It Is the Intention of Commissioner Evans to establish a new division, to be known as the war wiah Spain division, where all these records will be stored. As yet none of these claims has been adjudicated. They will be taken up in their regular order and as soon as the files of the War Department are complete the Pension Bureau" will consider them. When a claim for pension is filed, is customary for the Pension Bureau to refer the papers to the War Record Division of the War Department for a statement of ulic service of the soldier in question.

Long Years of Service on tho Eagle Formally Recognized. FIELD GLASSES PRESENTED. Dr. St, Clair McKelway Makes the Presentation Speech and in Behalf of the Eagle Officials and Employes Expresses Sentiments of "Warmest Esteem for the Veteran Foreman. Colonel Hester, the President of the Corporation, Announces Official Action Mr.

Sutton's Retirement From Active "Work. Immediately after the Eagle went to press yesterday afternoon the busy workers in the many departments hurried up to the composing room to attend a ceremony that was at once effective and affecting. It was the presentation of a handsome pair of field and marine glasses to William H. Sutton, who, fcr over half a century, has been in tho employ of the Eagle and for many years has been tho foreman of the composing room. Recently he expressed a wish to be retired from active work, and, reluctantly as the request was WlLLLVXr H.

SCTTO.V. Who For Over Fifty Years JIjs Been In the of pj.igle. made, it was as reluctantly granted. The presentation, therefore, had a significance which made the occasion an unusual one, even in a paper on which the heads of departments have literally grown up with the paper. It was uearlng 4 o'clock when the officers of the Eagle corporation and the heads of department walked into the composing room followed by associate and sub editors, reporters.

stereotypers, clerks, pressmen, until a crowd big enough to establish a good sized village was present. Dr. St. Cladr McKelway. as the principal speaker, took his place in the center of the floor near Mr.

Sutton's office, with the editors, compositors, reporters and other employes of the Eagle grouped about him. As Mr. Sutton emerged from his office a cheer went up that was prolonged into ap plause until Dr. McKelway began to speak. Turning to the foreman of the composing room, ho said: Dr.

McKelway 's Speech. "My dear Mr. Sutton The people of the Eagle want mo to say to you that they are sorry you have asked to be relieved of your present trust. But they are glad that you have made this request in the fulness of your mental and vigor, for that will enable you to enjoy and to perform t'he one neglected duty of your useful and your happy life the duty of rest. If anyone here s'tiould think that your intellectual and physical powers not equal to his own, let htan try to match you in knowledge of any one of the thousand and three details of this office, or let htm compete with you In the strain of quick work for extra editions or of long and exhausting work on election Issues.

He woul'd emerge from such a contest probably on a Shutter or In a hospital, while you would go home a little tire but would turn up in t'he morning, almost in time to catch those at the case who successfully slip In a little late and who move around with a smile which Is childlike and bland, the same, I fear, with intent to deceive, as If they had arrived punctually and on time. (Laughter.) "Mr. Sutton, you certainly showed great skill in the selection of your (Laughter.) They gave to you a constitution which has been so excellent that you have never had to live on the bylaws. It has stood you well in this office since 1844. You had the temerity to come hero before I was born.

My consent was not, therefore, asked, but if it had been my voice would undoubtedly have been in the affirmative. (Applause.) When I came here my teens were still so near to me that I could touch them with my hand, but 1 found you here, in this department of which you have 'been eo long the head, and you and I have been here together the most of that time ever since. "You are not an old man. You are on tho threshold of age, perhaps, but." coming hero when you must have been very young, tltcro cannot be over one or two who were hero then, if there are even that number, and there can be very few whose period of conuiniious service equals that of your own. Wt.

let me tell you that you are by veterans as well as by youngsters, and that both tfhe veterans and the youngsters regard you with feelings that should be gratifying to you. The veterans regard you as a comrade and a colleague. The youngsters regard you with emulation and with pride. Bo' recognize in your career a proof of capacity and character and they realize that this occasion signalizes to you the appreciation in which you are lu ld. It gives me pleasure to ask Colonel Hester to road to you tho result of a meeting of thu Board of Directors specially called to day, to consider your request for retirement." Colonel Hester, who was warmly welcomed, here read the following: "At a special meeting of tfne Directors of tho Brooklyn Daily Kagle A ascc.atlon, hold on July 26, t'he fc'llowlng was unanimously adopted: 'Mr.

(Loud applause.) There was a pause and Mr. Sutton stepped forward to acknowledge the gift and t'he reception. More applause 'broke out, and so enthusiastic was it that Mr.

Sutton became greatly affected and was almost overcome, lie attempted to speak, failed and tears came into his eyes as he looked around at the host of friends who were waiting sympathetically for a "word from him, many of whom, be had known since Tie was a more boy. Finally Ire rccovcre himself and said: Mr. Sutton's Remarks. "I hardly know what to say, my dear associates and friends. This Is to me a trying as well as a happy moment.

To nay that 1 thank you septus little indeed at this tim e. but 1 am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the kind words you have spoken, Dr. McKelway, for the generous treatment which Colonel Hester's reading has given proof of and which is in accord with that spirit, of pa tornity that has always "charueienzo the management of the Eagle. (Applause.) I am grateful, very grateful, my associates here than whom none could be mor kind or more efficient. I am grateful to you all for the kindness I have received at your hands.

I shall ever rometn'ber this occasion as the very best that has ever been my lot to experience, and it shall ever be suggested anew to me when this beautiful present is used. It would be useless for me to go liack over my life here with you. Changes, wonderful changes, have been made since I first took hold. But they are all familiar to you. Tho remarkable growth of t'he paper which has taken place since I first saw the little hand press worked on lower Fulton street is known to you.

(Applause.) You 'have all been to me my dear eat friends and I shall ever think of you with the kindest thoughts. More I cannot say. I thank you. I thank you." Then there were more cheers and applause and Dr. McKelway asked "What is the matter with William H.

Sutton?" Back came tho reassuring reply in thunderous tones from every part of the big room, "Ho's all right," followed by three rousing cheers. Immediately everyone was anxious to shake the liau of the veteran foreman. Colonel Hester, Mr. Kingsley and Dr. McKelway wore the first to greet him, followed by Patrick clson, the veteran foreman of the press room, whoso term of service on the Eagle has been almost similar to that ot Mr.

Sutton. One after another the men ami women came up and said goonoy in a way that plainly showed real affection for Bhe man who had so long been associated with the department and, now and then a cheer would break out even after the ceremony was all over. Mr. Sutton held a reception almost all the afternoon: in 'his office. He will take a trip to Europe and it was with that end In view that the glasses were chosen as tho most suitable present.

M.r. Sutton will still remain in the employ of the Eagle in a new capacity. When the excitement of tho affair had somewhat subsided Mr. Sutton talked remi nisecntly to a reporter about some of the Incidents in his long and varied career. Mr, Sutton's Career as a Newspaper Worker.

"I was born," Mr. Sutton said to bis interviewer, "In Castle street, Liverpool, August 22, .1830, and came to this country in March, 1840. I had had some experience' in sotting type and printing when a boy, as my stepfather kept a printing office at home. I was apprenticed to a man in New York who managed the Sun Job Printing Office, and there 1 worked over a year with no pay, no clothing and not too good feeding. My treatment was so bad In fact that I ran away to make my living somewhere In the metropolis.

Subsequently I had to go to a Justice of the peace to be released from my apprenticeship. For a time in 1S44 I was on the Democratic Advocate, a weekly paper in Wflliamtburgh. This was the year of tho Polk Clay campaign and times were pxciting. After the election, however, the Advocate wont to pieces and in the latter part of the year 1844 I became nn employe of the Eagle. "I came to the Eagle as a general utility boy.

The office was then on the right hand side of Fulton street, down near the ferry, where the bnnk building is. It was a foiir story brink building. We used a band press anil it was In that building that wo got the first cylinder press and 1 helped move from that offico to the building across the street. There were a number of dwellings opposite us on Fulton street where the Eagle wre houso now Is and those wo turned into the Eaglo office. DwellUu after dwelling is added to the building pu each side and In the res r.

"We were at 2fi Fulton street when toe Mexican War took plnep. an when a battle was won we illuminated the whole, building and placed transparencies in the windows. Fo far as I can remem'ber we got otit no extras in those days. You see. when we had the Washington hand press wo only printed three or four hundred papers.

Patrick Campbell, who 'has since been chief of police In Brooklyn, was setting type with me there in the old Eagle 'building. All the rest of the ppoplo I kiifiw havo passed away. I iln not believe thre Is one of them living to day. Brooklyn Itself was then a mere village. 'Wluny editors have been on the Eagle since I have been here, but 1 well remember Walt Whitman, who always called for me to go and take a bath with him.

He used' to go to Graves' bath, where Lho Fulton Ferry now is. Every day we otit. t'hero together. He was a very methodical man and could not be hurried in anything he set out to do. He would come, in early in the morning, write an editorial and put in every dot he wanted In It.

Whn he bad finished with his editorial be woui.l take a walk while it was being set. up. Ho I hnd a marvelous memory, and when bo returned and looked over copy, if any man I had put. one single dot Where had not placed it. or left one out.

would hunt the man out ami make him change ft as it had 'liem given to lilm. He was very eccentric, but infA.rrmt ing. and a goo, friend. I "The paper advunced with the times, prn I pering every year and from one cylinder we I grow to two and then four and then eight. cylinders.

Then they im put aside for the perfecting Hoe presses and every year tho Eagle has grown und r'mtinues grow untii I believe the eighty two page paper we issii' i the other day was the greatest that has ever left, a printing office. From the big blanket four page paper v. changed tn the more con venieni form of to day. The establishment. the riunday paper I had something to do with and I am as proud ir as I would be of a child I had raised.

When a niati has worked sn long on a paper anil si It gr jw up ivitli hi it becomes very dear to in: and the Eagle to me in the only pap published. "When I came on th paper Isaac Van An den was the sol proprb tor, tut It ha since ot ft me a stock company. Through all ir stages there has been one marked characteristic and that has been the care it. has taken of iu employes. "Innovations of every character, that have hceii thought of by other entice! ns as es s.

This will bar out all claims for pensions growing out of the explosion of the Maine. Forty eight' claims have been filed by the survivors and widows of men who were killed on the Maine and one of the cases has been allowed.

Commissioner Evans is in favor ot taking a firm stand on the pension attorney question. He believes that the interests of the government suffer materially from the too zealous work of those lawyers, and ho criticises some of them in very sevore terms. The sharpers havo gotten to work already, and it is safe to say that there is hardly a pension attorney of any prominence in the ecuntrj who has not in his possession a transcript of every hospital record. They also have complete lists of wounded and killed, and manv of them have muster rolls containing the names of all volunteers from certain staiteB. Circulars from these attorneys are already flooding the country.

They are being sent out by the thousand to the wives, mothers and fathers of soldiers In the field. They are even being forwarded to the men at the front, with instructions that in case they are not delivered they be sent to the heme of the addressee. Commissioner Evans thinks it would be a good Idea if the government would authorize him to break off all relations with pension attorneys, and deal directly with the claimants. He says that he ha9 a sufficient force of clerks to do all work necessary in the settlement of cases, and he thinks that by negotiating directly with claimants both the government and the general public would be benefited.

B. A. HARLEM AND THE BRONX. There was much joy last evening in the McMillan household on Morris Heights a't the prospect of the return home this week of the eldest son. AlbeTt C.

McMillan, son of the former president of the Park Board, joined the 'Rougli Riders soon after war was declared. He took part in the fig'h't at La Quasica, and was wounded at San Juan. While he was returning to Fort Monroe on one of the transports his father, accompanied by William Leary, ex secretary of the Park Commission, was on his way to Santiago, only to find 'that his wounded son had been ordered North to recuperate. Mr. McMillan is now returning frtrm Santiago, and his son is expected heme this week.

There aTo no less Cuan eighteen public parks or parkways in the borough of the Bronx, the approximate area of which is something over 3,240 acrtG. The largest Is Pelham Bay Park, which contains 1,756 acres, and 'the smallest Is Poe Park, at Kingsbridge road and One Hundred and Ninety second street, which h.as a little over two acres. One of the handsome est is Claremont Park, at One Hundred and Seventy ninth street, which contains a palatial residence where Park Commissioner Moe bus transacts the business of his department. Many of the parks in the borough are very little frequented and the location of some of them Is almcst unknown to a majority of the residents. The date of the Century Wheelmen's gymkhana and carnival at Berkeley Oval, Bronx, has been fixed for Saturday, September 3, preceding Labor Day.

Among 'the arrangements tor the comfort of visitors 'to the field during the day will be a Hne or stages, w'nich will run from the cable cars at Fort George across the vallev to the oval at Morris Heights. This pic'turesque drive of a mile, following the to Fort Georee ay the open cars, is a. most an inducement In itself to visit the spoits. It has been arranged to run In be tween the features of 'the gymkhana a num ber of legitimate races, Including probably a paced race, a mile race and otner contests. A somewhat novel method Is to be followed in hrpaldne irround for the new St.

Jerome's Church at One Hundred and Thirty eighth street and Alexander avenue. Tickets of admission, costing each, have been Issued for the ceremony, which takes place to morrow evening at 7 o'clock. The privilege of digging the first, second and sods will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. There will be a gold piece buried in the ground and after the first three sods have been dug the remainder of those present will be at liberty to dig sods untii they find the gold piece. The originator of scheme is said to be the Rev.

P. V. Tandy, pastor of the church. Work will be pushed and It Is expected that the corner stone will be laid with appropriate ceremonies some time in September. The Erie Railroad has just opened its new freight yards at the foot of One Hundred and Thirty fifth street and the Harlem River, Bronx.

The yards were first projected last December and the ground Itself has cost in the neighborhood of $400,000. The purpose of constructing this freight terminal was to relieve the congested condition of Bronx borough as to freighting facilities. The New Haven yards at the foot of Willis avenue have had a monopoly pf the freight traffic and have charged other companies exorbitant rates for handling their cars. It is said that some of the other big railroad companies contemplate the erection of more freight yards on the Harlem for their own convenience and to be prepared for the constantly increasing growbh the north side.
