PENSION OFFICE FIGURES.

Washington, Nov. 2l-Hon. J. A. Bentley.
commissioner OF pensions, has completed
his annual report to the secretary of lie in.
terror. 1t shows that on the Both of June
Last there we're 242,7 55 persons in the Unit
ed States receiving pensions from the GOV.
eminent. The pension list is now. larger
than any previous time. The present list
is composed of 1875, $50 army invalid pen.
sioners 8l,l74 army widows, children and
dependent relatives, 1874 navy lnyalids.
1,772 navy widows, ETC., l1,62i survivine
soldiers of the war Of 1912. aud 2i.ig1
widows of deceased soldiers of that war.
During the year 31,346 new names were
added TO the list and 9OS names. which had
previously been dropped from the rolls,
mainly from failure for three years to claim
their pensions, we're restored and l3,497
were fer various reasons dropped. The ae-
gresate amount Of one years pensions to ali
pensioners, on the rolls is s25.49a, 742, Is bu.
the actual annual payment exceeds that
sum by several million dollars. This arises
from the fact that nearly all the newly
admitted army and navy cases have several
years accrued pensions at the time of admi..
sion which is paid at the first payment.
During the year the first payment to new
pensioners amounting to ~S5.763,75s, Of
which S4,375,l47 was paid to army and
navy invalids, widows, ETC., and ST, 1885, GIL
to survivors and widows Of the war of 1872.
There will be a deficiency in the pension
appropriation for the year, as nearly as can
be ascertained, as follows: Five millions
for army pensions and $4,000 for navy
pensions, which should be provided for in
order that the pensions for the June quarter
may be promptly paid.

virginia POLITICS.

u 10 Happens that the Republic M Hold
the Balance Of Power.
Washington. Nov. 22-The chief politt-
CA topic hero 10 the contest In Virginia be-
tween the debt psysrs aud read listers. II
transplres that each class Of democrats has
elected an equal number Of members Of the
legislature, while the republicans have
elected tWenty-seyen members. of which
zen are classcd as d~ebt-psyers spd seven 90
readjssters. The difference Rives the read
jasters . sn,all majority u no other oues,ion
Is entered into To cOmplicate matters. But
other questions do enter In and the repub.
llcans propose while holding the balance OF
power TO secure concessions which will adj.
vance their interests. The leaders of both
classes Of democrats are Offering yerv ad-
vantsgeous sterms and the question Under
considerauon 10 which side will most sure-
" carry out the promises made. The pfes-
ent. state officers are d~ebt-payers. and Their
~conltnuancs in Office and general d~ittribu-
lion OF patronage depends upon the triumph
OF their side. they offer to keep open Tie
schools and repeal the poll tax Law where
by Thousands u coloredpeople are deprived
OF their votes aud concede other political a.
.vantages IT the republicans only join them
10 9 measure for the payment Of the dam
and the election of state Officers.
The readjusters offer similar terms. excsrt
that they ask that Malone, their leader. be
elected United States senator. II Il under
stood that the promise of republican sun
port was given Malone. During the can-
vass he represented to them that Population
was not intended; that there were other
things besides the debt to be readiuated !.
that the school closing measure, which orig
mated with the debt payers, needed read
justing; that the system Of taxation needed
readjusting, and that the poll tax law. which
requires payment q month before election
days, needed readjusting 10 that colored re
publicass may no longer DO deprived of
their votes. Hence the name "readiusters"
has had q liberal meaning in the M
which gave Malone . great advantage.
Both sides have sought to cultivate friendly
relations with the colored people. Meetines
have been held since the election over which
colored men have presided, and at which
colored speakers have shared the time with
white speakers. aud very friendly relations
exist between the races. The contest has
been watched with deep interest from here.
The president sees in the result Of this cam.
paien and in the present situation a better
prospect for the future of Virginia.

Strange But True.

From The Pittsburg Telegraph
Nearly forty years ago, in South 4un-
tlngdon township, Westmoreland, Pa,
lived John Hinton. He was an orphan
BOY, rude and uneducated, and had wan
dered there from the neighDorhood of
Masontown, Fayette County. With no
known relatives, he was kicked about
from one family to another till manhood.
Enllstlng then in the regular army, he
served IN the Florida war. At it's close he
heiped to escort the Cherokees beyond
the Mississippi. From Indian Territory
he went to New Orleans and Skinned as
common sailor on vessel bound for
the East Indies. At the CITY of Madras
on the western shores of the Bav of Rem.
gal, ne deserted, and enlisted in a British
regiment. He served many years, and
during the memorable Sepoy rebellion
was noted for his daring bravery. At his
dlscharge he was presented with gold
medal by the Governor General himself.
lie is next heard Of travelling in car
avian from Delhi westward across the In
dus River, through Afghanistan ana Per
STA, to Turkey and back.
In time, from trading, he became i'm
mensely wealthy and was the owner of
nVe caravans, containing over $4,000
horses and camels, and fifty elephants.
In 1864 he visited Cabul, the capital of
A1ghanlstan, for copper, great Quantities
OF which are there mined and smelted
His magnificent retinue attracted the at
tentlon OF the Ameer, and he was invited
to an audience-an honor never hefore
received by Christian. A present of
lOO OF his best horses and three-tusked
elephant made the Ameer his eternal
friend. When yearly it was followed by
similar presents, besides camels and
merchandise, John Hinton had the mon
opoly OF trade from the SUBMITS of the
Hlndoo Koosh mountains to the confines
OF Beloochistan, and in real power was
second only to the Ameer himself. About
1870 he was made military ommaader
OF the district of Herat, and in 1875 SUD-
pressed local rebellion to the great sat
lstactlon OF his sovereign. Trained in the
arts OF war among the savages Of North
America, and among the superstitious ma
tives of India, where he became thor
oughly familiar with British soldiers and
resources, together with his years of SER
vice as the idolized commander of the
