Wilkie vas argued briefly On the defendants
motlon to quash tho indictment. The readers
of TIE TRIBUNE will remember the defendants,
Frank B. Wikie, Of the Chicago Times, and r.
Flynn, Ex-Sheritr OF Rockford, were indicted
by the Grand Jury OF this county for hiring wit
Desses to swear away the good name Of Gov
Esrly's daughter, intending to make use of the
afidavits in court to mitigate the damages in
the Early libel suit now bong argued in Otta-
wa. The grounds for the motion before Judge
Brown to-day were principally the uncertainty
with which the offense vas charged in the
indictment; also. exceptions we're taken
TO the impanelinG OF the Grand
Jury, and the record Of the return OF the indlct-
1nent into court. The prosecution insisted gen.
orally that the offense Get forth aud charged in
the several counts WAS sufficiently cerkain and
explicit, and answered all the requirements Of
our statute on criminal procedure; a!ao that
the Grand Jury was properly returned into
court The Court gave no intimation OF his de-
cision, but held the case under adVisement until
Tuesday.
The interest in this caee has in no way abated.
C. Il. Brazee appeared for defendants, and J. c.

WAsn1SGToS, D. c., Oct 23.-The Commis-
sioner OF Pensions has concluded his annual 70
port The invalid army roll is 105.478 at an
annual cost Of $40, ,96l. .21B. The roll OF army
widows is 10i 855, Ut total animal rase OF

The widows Of tho war Of 1879 number
5,163 at total annual rate Of 3A95,s48 Tha
navy invalid roll is 1886. at = total aonual rate
OF $lS3. 3.613. Tho Commissioner recommends
moro careful medical examination. It is esti-
mated that by December, ISIS, there will be
II, 5D0 applications for increase OF pension under
the new law. 1t has been discovered that quite
large number Of Eersons evade the Law, and
draw pensions while living in condition Of mar-
rage, to all intents and purposes but
without actual marriage under the law. An
amendment OF this law is recommended 10
tho effect that evidence OF caha5isation should
ba sufficient 10 drop the widow pensioaer from
the rolls Tho Commissioner says 80 to
THE SPECIAL AGENCY SERVICE:
During the fiscal year 1,53U c!alms we're inyes-
tisated by the special Agents OF this Office OF
those cases in which pensions had been paid. 800
were proved to be fraudulent. The
names OF these pensioners we're Drop
ped from the roll, resulting in a saving
OF 52605 per month, or $751; EGO annually. Eeti-
eight years, but for these Investigations the pay
menta in these cases would have amounted in
that time to $3.50, ,030- Through sha actions o.
the agents in this service during the year S163o8
OF pension money which had been unIawfuily
obtained WAS
REFUNDED TO TEE GOVERNMENT.
The average amount OF pension paid bv the
Government On each fraudulent claim is estimat-
ed At 55T~ During the year the agents OF this
office recommended the rejection of 34s pending
ayf9T.1 HAtf kn
sworn testimony which, without such
Investigation would probably have been allowed.
Assuming that adverse action WAS taken in 80
per cent Of those cases, the saving thcrefrom
would be Sill. 225. The amour. et saving to be
credited to this service for tho past year
ia as follows: Saved per s1num
BY dropping names from the roll,
515:s25; recoyeries in cash, s16,s ,ses; rejected,
S112.225 Total, 3lA552. The knowledge OF
such system, and the liability to detection
through it's agency, no doubt, prevents the pre-
sentation Of man3 fraudulent claims, which
would otherwise bs imoosed upon tha Govern
nent. The benefit derived in this ,nannes from
these special investigations cannot be estimated
in money.
