it. The earlier the matter is settled the

The existence Of suspended claims is q
temptation to inscriptions agents to
fabricate testimony with view to OBJ
tanning the allowance of claims not ad-
missible upon existing known evidence,
The last act of Congress granting boun
ty lands has been in force for twenty
years, a sufficient time for all those
who are entitled to the bene-
fits to avail themselves of its
provisions. II would, therefore, in
the opinion of the Commissioner, be con-
sistent with justice, and for the interest
OF the Government, that limit should
be put by Congress to the period during
which the various acts granting bounty
lands shall continue in force.
During the last fiscal year the Special
Service Division has performed impor-
tant service in the detection and proven
ton of fraud in the prosecution of claims

during the year thirteen persons were
convicted of violation of the law relative
to the prosecution OF claims, and five
awaited trial at the close of the year.
An account is given in the report of
the services of the medical division of
the office, and the Commissioner says
there can be no doubt that if higher fees
were paid to examining surgeons better
talent would be at the command OF this
branch of the service, and, while more
exact justice would be done to individual
pensioners, a saving to the Government
would be effected He therefore recon-
mends that by proper legislation the fee
for ordinary examinations, and certiti-
Gates therefor, be fixed at So, and that in
all cases requiring special skill and the
use of instruments the fee be fixed at IS.
The amount of appropriation that will
be required for the pension service dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1876,
will be $50, 500, 900.
