10 response to a letter addressed
to him by Secretary Schurz, inquir-
ing what mount of funds can be
made available monthly for the pay
ment of arrears due upon pensions
which were allowed prior to January,

monthly thereafter. At this rate

missiorer Of Pensions, in view of
this has issued the following circular
letter, a copy of which will be mailed
to each applicant for arrears as soon

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
PENSION OFFICE, WASHINGTON, May
II, lS79-Sir: Your application for
arrears of pensions has been received
at this cfice- Owing to the limited
amouLt OF money available each
month for the payment of arrears due
those whose pensions were allowed
prior to January 25. 1879, a compare
lively small number of leases only can
be adjusted monthly, and, therefore,
some delay may occur 10 the settle
ment of your claim. The right to
the arrears is fixed By the act Of
January %, and not by the date of
filing the application therefore, the
claim will be settled without regard
to the date Of receipt 10 this Office,
but in such order as to distribute the
payments equitably among the sever
al pension agencies as near as may
be. No further information will be
furnished you ia relation to your
claim for arrears until it has been set
tied, when you will be notified and
promptly paid the amour found to
be due you.

ONE of the signs of increased pros
perity for this country is the revival
of foreign immigration. 1t fell oil
yearly altogether after depression
began, but latterly it has largely re-
vived. During the month OF April
over 10000 immigrants were landed
in New York, and this was only The
beginning of the tide. Last week
alone, the arrivals exceeded 5000.
These are described as belonging to
the better class, and will do much to
develop our enormously growing
western territory.
