sion account regularly exceeded
$4,000 0 annually. That year it went
to $297,374. The following year the
pensions of Revolutionary soldiers of
the wal of 1872 were largely increased,
which ran the pension account up in
1920 to the highest figure reached
until 1864, with the exception Of two
years, 1884. From 1918 to 1864.
the average annual pension appropria-
ton was about one and a half million
OF dollars. In but fourteen of these
torty-six years did it exceed two mil
lions of dollars, and seven Of these
years it fell below one million. Since
1854 1t has been an average of $26.-

years the indications are that it will
be about $35, 000, 900 annually.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-The
Passion Play enters upon its second
week tonight. The first representa-
tons were indifferently attended, ow-
ing to the opposition of the press and
pulpit. Last week the weather was
very inclement, which also initiated
against its success, but the piece seems
to be steadily gaining in favor, and the
attendance last night was the best yet
seen. The prospects for the second
week are quite ~iattering. The music,
which is solemn and beautiful, attracts
many, and the performance is well
spoken of. 0'Neill's personation of
Christ is highly commended, and
said to be faithful in character and
profoundly impressive. Many old
theatrical habitues attend the play
night after night, and say it possesses
wonderful fascination, and hat it af-
fects them singlarly.

Success of the IO.fOs.

congratulates Secretary Sherman upon the
success of converting 1910 bonds, and says
the conversion of six per cent. bonds in 81 is
likely to depend more than the present oper.
alton on the maintenance of the credit of the
United States abroad
Reviving trade in the United States will bv
81 probably render it impossible to obtain
money then at 4 per cent
The Times suggests now conversion has
been carried as far as il can be for two years,
that Sherman should direct the attention OF
Congress and the nation to the policy of re-
ducing the capital of the debt, which has been
for a time neglected
