But. as far as have been able to look into them

And If they continue to be repubished with the

to the Bench and the Bar, and fail to attract
their attention take pleasure in recommending
them.

vINHE SUBJOINED FORM OF DECLA-
L RATION, TO re observed by all persons APP
plying 10 the Pension Office for Bounty Land, un-
der lhc act OF 22d M rcb, 1852, entitled can act
10 make Bounty Land Warrants assignable, and
for other purposes" is published in connexion
with the act itself.
This form is only go far variant from that pre-
scribed under the act of 18th September, 1885, as
TO adapt 1t to the recent act OF March 22d
The Declaration must be sworn TO before some
just ce OF the peace other officer authorized to
administer oaths for general purposes, who must
certify the same.
The official character and signature of the ma
gistrate Tho may administer the oath must be GER
tilted by the clerk of the proper court of record OF
his county, under the seal Of the court.
Such certificate must accompany epe,,y case.
ttwill te perceived that in the 4th section of the
act OF 22d March, no provision is made for widows
or minor children, but only for the party who rem
dered the service.
The service contemplated by the act is that
rendered under call by the authorities of any
State to rePel apprehended hostities from any TO-
reign government or Indian tribe, and whose SER
wees have been paid for by the United States sub
sequent to the 18Th June, 1912
Ii should be specially noted that no one whose
service was recognised by any previous act can
claim under this, except where his mileage has
not been allowed in the computation of his service
Hence, if the soldier has rendered such service as
would entitle him to forty acres, any other
amount under previous law, he cannot claim n
increased quantity for other services first recog.
nised by this act.
II the applicant desires TO avNil himself Of the
5th section of the act, lie must in his dec alton

company the distance thence to the point at whc b
he was mustered into service, the place at which
he was discharged, and the distance thence to the
place OF his original enrolment. Ii must also he

he'd to be credible, that his statements in these
spects true. and the witnesses should specify

THH LATE EXPL SION.

JoHS RYANs SrATEMEST.-li was currently
reported yesterday, that John Ryan, late striker
on the i'll fated steamer Glencoe, had. previous
to the death, made positlon-propery re-
duced to writing and signed by witness, SIN
which he gave iul what h supp posed TO have
been the cause of the explosion, and which was
intended evidence in the legal Investigations
to be instituted. The report, we believe, is in
correct. Such declaration, framed to
have its due weight in law, was intended, bui
unfortunately postponed to too late period
Ryan, however held many conversations with
his tliends and acqua ntances VIII saw him pre-
vinus to his demsa. His Judgment, it is said
! remained unclouded to the last hour. And With
| the knowledge Of lis approaching end before
him. he made various statements TO in ,licate
the Engineer who had been on du!y with
/ him.
On Sunday morning-the morning after the
expl sInn-sorne eight or ten gentlemen OF the
| first stand ng were at the residrnc. OF Ryan, On
F urteeuth, between Carr and Biddle streets,
when he again gave a detailed aud connected
account Of the explosion, the narrative probably
occupying two hours. What he then sad We
do injustice to none of the parties for publish
inr. The rumors about tn Streets distort and
cxagrerae these death bed declarations, and il
may be the part of wisdom and justice to an,icl-
pate in part the publicity which a legal inrestl
CATION must in the end give them.
i Ryan says, in substance, that, when he first
tried the gauget, after the boat had left Qaaran-
tine, he found no more than one hllf the water
necessary to br.ng to port. Atterward, wher
he tried it again, he found it reduced to one
third the quantity absolutely necessary. The
pressure of steam the boilers carried, was
under the circumstances, astonishing, Ryat
himself did not regulate the water in the boilers
The whole affair WILL in good time, receiv,
strict legal invest CATION. Had the Girncoe
landed as soon as She reached port The catas
trophe would probably not have occurred. Th
delay in finding proper landing place caused :
sill greater accumulation OF steam.-St. Lou
