IMPORTANT PENSION RILING.
Relates to Applicants Under Sixteen
nt Puttier's Death.
Washington. May 26.-Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock, to-day rendered a de
cision which will he of interest to a class
of pension claimants. The question arose
under the statute giving a pension to
children under 16 years of age, at the date
of the disabled soldier father’s death, and
under the statute limiting the time for
filing claims for pension.
The Secretary holds that Section 4702 of
the revised statutes, granting a pension
to minor children, does not require that
the application therefor be made before
the child attains the age of 16 years, and
that the net of March 3, 1879, limiting the
time of filing claims for pension, is not
applicable to claimants who were under
16 years of age, July 1, 1880. In conse
quence. he directs the commissioner of
pensions to proceed with the consideration
and decision of these claims in all in
stances where the claimant was under 16
years of age, July 1. 1880.

GOVERNMENT AND MEAT BILL
REJOICING OVER THE DEFEAT OF
'1 HE AGRARIANS.
Shows the Extreme Agrarian* Have
No Power to Dominate the Reich
stag— Relief Expressed That the
Boer* Are Tired of the War—The
PuNKlen Play la Not in High Favor
In Germany—Punishment of Car
Strikers.
(Copyright, 1900, by the Associated P.es* )
Berlin, May 26.—The imperial govern
ment still rejoices at the passage of the
meat inspection bill, particularly be auae
of its demonstrating that the extreme
Agrarians have no power to dominate the
Reichstag, as had been feared hitherto.
The Agrarians loudly proclaimed
that the meat bill was to serve as a test
of their relative strength and as a prelim
inary to the struggle, to decide the nature
of the projected commercial treaties. In
this sense the passage of the meat bill
was a defeat to the extreme Agrarians.
This fact is now pointed out by the semi
official press. Dr. Miquel’s Berliner Fo
litische Nachrichten calls this a reason
for congratulation.
The obstructive tactics whereby the lex
heinze was defeated by the minority are
now strongly disapproved by the govern
ment and its press as being a two-cdg .1
sword, which if it once became an estab
lished institution might easi.y lead to th3
destruction of German parliamentism. It
has been arranged that the Reichstag will
begin its Whitsuntide vacations tn the
thirtieth, will reassemble the sixth of June
and adjourn the sixteenth of the smie
month, until winter, if nothing intervenes.
The Diet has already adjourned* until
June 7.
View* of the Boer War.
The latest news from South Africa is
generally interpreted as showing that the
Boers are Fred of the war, and are only
looking for a decent pretext to make
peace. The Kreuz Zeitung says:
“Drawing a parallel beiween the Boers
and the Ancient Germans there will not be
such a fight of desperation as that of the
Gotha at Nalssus.”
The paper adds:
“The Boers do not possess the species of
personal bravery which in European nr
mies is self-understood. If this knowl
edge had obtained here sooqer the Boers
would not have enjoyed such popularity.’’
Dissatisfaction is expressed here at the
fact that the Oberammergau authorities
gave the monopoly of photographing to
Leo Schweyer, of Stuttgart.
There is no anxiety shown by the Ger
man public to view the performance, with
a large part of the press characterizing it
as given over to commercialism.
Quick justice is being meted out to the
car strike rioters. The first batch was
sentenced Monday to terms varying from
six weeks in Jail to a few days’ imprison
ment, and another batch was sentenlcbd
to-day. A third batch will be tried before
a higher court for revolt against the state,
on which hang long terms at hard labor.
Her Behel publishes in the Vorwaerts
an article on the book of th© French Capt.
Moch recommending the substitution of
militia for a regular army. Herr Bebel
approves of this, and says Socialism will
draw powerful weapons from the book to
fight militarism.
SUFFERS BY COMPARISON.
American Pavilion In Pari* I* Far
Front AVlint It Should Re.
(Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press.).
Paris, May 26 —Now that all the national
pavilions in the Rue des Nations have
been opened to the public, a comparison
of the artistic effect of our own building
with that of Us neighbors is undoubtedly
unfavorable to the former. While the gen
eral external app arance Is a matter of
architectural taste, the nudity of Its inte
rior elicits the harshest criticism. Seldom
Is a word in praise of it hrard from visit
ing Amercans; and the buildng has been
already christened by various uncompli
mentary nicknames.
Many officials recognize the disparity,
and the prerent condition of the pavilion
will be much improved. The bareness of
the first floor will be relieved by the
erection of a center piece of palms and
flowers, which will be encircled by an up
holsters and settee; the floor itself will prob
ably be. renewed, brighter tinted carpets
placed on the stairs and the balustrades
covered with velvet, and other decorative
mod ilcatlons will be made with a view to
lighten ihe general effect.
A number of unfortunate cases of suf
fering are coming under the notice of the
American officials in Paris. Many bright,
energetic young Americans, having just
sufficient means to transport them here,
and being anxious to see the exposition,
came with the idea of finding some small
occupation which would provide them
with the means of existence during thrir
stay. There is no false pride about them,
but they are willing to accept even menial
employment, such as selling newspapers,
blacking boot sand hawking exposition
tickets. They have, however, met with
unexpected obstacles. They find every
outlet hedged about with red tape regula
tions or prejudice against the employ
ment of foreigners. Newspaper stands ore
accorded only to pensioners end a license
for bootblacking is practically unobtain
able, owing to the interrmnable period oc
cupied by the preliminaries to the appli
cation. Some boys attempted to gain a pit
tance by selling exhibition tickets at a
profit of 2 cents each, but their efforts
were stifled by the interference of their
French competitors, who are able to draw
all intending purchasers except Amer -
cans and Englishman by proclaiming the
Americans as foreigners.
TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

KINLEY MACK WON HANDICAP.
A RATHER LONG SHOT BEAT FA
VORITES WITH EASE.
Was a Length Ahead of Rafaello
Who Was the Favorite When
Etlielhert and Jean Bcraud Were
Withdrawn—Herbert, the Second
Choice, Ran Third The Grand
Mare Imp AVas Way Behind and
Tired Out—Race Summaries.
New York. May 26.—Kinley Mack, at 7
to 1, won the Brooklyn Handicap at
Gravesend to-day in hollow fashion, while
Raffaello, the favorite, landed in second
place comfortably, and Herbert, the sec
ond choice, could do no better than third.
The time, 2:10, was slow, and the track
was very heavy, and the ciack horses were
out of the race.
When the horses and jockies named
went up on the board there was much dis
appointment, for Jean Beraud and Ethel
bert were among the missing, and all the
snap was taken out of the contest. The
attendance suffered because of the weath
er, and it was not one of the old-time
handicap crowds wdth the grand, stand
packed to suffocation. Not more than
15,001 persons were present.
The horses got off in a bunch: Batten
was first to poke his nose out of the lot
as they came spleashing down through
the stretch, all the jockies making for
what looked like dryer spots in the tracks.
They passed the grand-stand the first
time with King Barleycorn, Batten,
Knight of the Garter, Imp and Kinley
Mack, noses apart. When they hod reach
ed the half-mile pole and began io
straighten out for the run up the back
stretch- Barleycorn had a length and half
the best of it, going well, to the surprise
of almost everybody. Next come Kin
ley Mack, Imp Knight of the Garter and
■Survivor, heads apart. At this point it
was anybody's race. Up to the back
stretch they went, the speed not quicken
ing to amount to anythtng, and in a few
seconds they were at the three-quarters
pole, and ready to round the upper turn.
King Barleycorn began to drop back. As
they began to moke the upper turn Mc-
Cue sent Kinley Mack to the front, and
he soon had a neck the best of the former
leader, who was a neck in front of Sur
vivor, who had made a break from the
rear in a wild bid for the rich purse.
In the Home Stretch.
As they cut in!o the home stretch
Mitchell drove Htrbert through the bunch
and at once straightened out for the
final run. Kinley Mack had a length the
best of It and the crowd b;gan to shout
for him. McCue went by the judges with
a good bit up his sleeve, an easy winner,
by a length from the favorite Raffaello,
who was a half length In fr nt of the sec
ond choice, Herbert, only a head In front
of Survivor. The other* were far back,
badly beaten, the grand mare Imp stag
gering along far In the rear, tired to death
In the heavy going.

SSOO.
Golden Age won the Expectation stakes,

KRAENZLEIN’S GOOD AVORK.

Penn ay J viiu Dt-
New York, May 26.—Once more PennsyU
vania University athletes proved thei#
skill and stamina against all their collegi
ate opponents in track and field events by
winning the championship of the Inter
collegiate Athletic Association on Colum
bia field this afternoon.
The Pennsylvania’s cannot do too much
honor to their wonderful athlete, A. C.
Kraenzllen. In the history of the associ
ation’s games, no athlete has done what
Kraenzlein did to-day. Yesterday he qual
ified in four events—the 100-yard dash, the
high and low hurdles and the running
broad jump. This afternoon he won three
of these events, namely, the 100-yard dash
and the high and low hurdles. Having
had to use all of his reserve strength in
these events, Kraenzlein did not take part
in the final contest for the running broad
jump, but his jump in the preliminaries
proved good enough to give him second
place.
The final score by; points was:
Pennsylvania, 39;” Princeton, 25; Yale,
20%; Harvard, 14; Syracuse, 10; California,
S; Williams, G; Cornell, 7%; Brown, 3;
