The shipment was successfully made and the fruit was sold at a large margin of profit. It resulted In regular shipments of pears, apples and fruits to foreign countries and a profitable trade has been built up. It is proposed that the Bureau of Manufactures operate on much the same line.

The government representatives will make arrangements for the shipment of the machines, and Insure the manufacturer against loss In tho experiment. If the shipment Is a success It will naturally be followed by the purchase of other machines, and thus a new market for American goods will be created.

It has also been suggested that agents of the Bureau of Manufpctures be sent abroad to study industries that thrive elsewhere, but which are unknown here, and then have the government encourage individuals to establish similar enterprises In this country. Something of this sort was proposed by the Department of Agriculture when It sought to establish a macaroni factory In one of the middle Northein Btates. The department introduced macaroni wheat Into that section and then endeavored to get some one to put up a factory to make macaroni, modeled after such institutions of France.

Brooklyn and New York Sections of Na BROWN At East Rockaway, V. on Tuesday, months. I believe that the coal strike had an Important Influence on the pension roll, for It began to drop as soon as the results of the strike began to be felt. This was quite natural because the pensioners are not only feeble and of advanced age, but poor as well, and the coal famine fell very heavily upon them. The last report shows the pension roll several thousand below the million mark.

The probabilities are that the number of pensioners will linger in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 for a year or so, after which the decline will begin. When once it gets started It will go down very rapidly. I estimate that the deaths among the pensioners this year will exceed 36,000, while the Increase In the way of new pensions will not be as much. It has been forty-three years since the Civil War begun and the average age of the old soldier is more than sixty years." Commissioner Ware says that the special pension laws that were passed by Congress at the last session will serve to keep the total pensioners near the million mark. Under the recently enacted laws pensions may now be granted to a number of people who were formerly excluded from bounties, while at the same time increases of pensions were authorized in a large class of claims.

Clay Evans was ousted. After reading the article Commissioner Ware laughed heartily, and tossed it aside. "Things like that," he said, "give me no concern whatever. I am too busy working here at the office to pay attention to the growls of the discontented. I am like the man In the boiler factory.

There is so much pounding, noise and steam in my office here that I can neither hear nor see what is going on on the outside. The men on the outside know more about that tiian I do. But as I said before, I am kept pretty well absorbed with daily rackets with Congressmen, attorneys and claimants. I have no time to give to the politics of tho situation. I have been in office now Just about a year, and am still doing a full day's work.

That would indicate that I am standing the strain prelty well." Other officials of the Pension Bureau describe the Union Veterans' Union as a strictly political organization, with a lot of kickers In charge. They also declare that the assertion that Commissioner Wnre is running his office in the Interests of politicians and that old soldiers get the short end of promotions is all wrong. After Commissioner Ware startled the rest of the bureau chiefs here by promoting one of his clerks because the latter had a record of not missing a day at work for five or six years, not even taking his annual leave, he devised a regular system to apply In making promotions. This plan is rather unique, inasmuch as It takes Into consideration certain things which ordinarily are overlooked by bureau chiefs in distributing promotions. The division chief who recommends a clerk for advancement Is called on to submit a written statement covering tho record of the clerk in question, including reports upon his Industry, accuracy, punctuality, habits, attendance and "commercial honor." Tits latter heading Is supposed to cover the clerk's credit and whether or not he pays his bills promptly.

The chief clerk Is then called on to give a statement of the date of the original appointment, date of last promotion, the state from which appointment was made, age, and whether a soldier and a pensioner. In addition to this the statement miiBt include a record of the time lost from the office for the last seven years. It Is stated that every promotion that has been made In the Pension Office for the last eight months has been based on the reports of division chiefs.
