THE PENSION OFFICE.

Commissioner BentIey's Annual Report.
Hon. J. A Bentley, Commissioner of PEN
sions, has completed his annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior. It shows that on the
3Oth of June last there were 242, 755 persons IN
the United States receiving pensions from the
Government The pension-Gst is now larger
than at any previous time. The present list ia
composed Of 125, $50 army invalid pensioners,
81, ia army widows, children, and dependent
relatives, 1874 navy invalids, 1,772 navy
widows, ETC., i, 621 surviving soldiers of the
war of 1912, and 81, 1914 widows of deceased
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, were restored,
and 13, 497 were, for various reasons, dropped.
The aggregate amount of one years pension
to all pensioners on the rolls Is $25, 493 742 Is,
but the actual annual payments exceed that
sum by several million dollars This arises
from the fact that nearly all the newly admitted
army and navy cases have several years &C
crued pension due at the time of admission,
which is paid at the first payment
During the year the first payments to new
pensioners amounted to IS, rs, 75S, of which
81, 375, LAT was paid to army and navy invaiids,
widows, etc.. and 1883 Gil to survivors and
widows of the war of 1919. The first payment
I'D p0uSlOu0T6 Oh tu0 War Oh lS1S Will
fall off, while material increase may be ex-
pected in the army and navy cases for several
years. owing to the removal of the limitation
upon the commencement of pensions by the
acts of Jan. IS and March 5, 1879
The above-named acts were passed after tho
estimates for the pensions for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1880, were submitted, and
were not, therefore, taken into account when
the appropriation was made, and there will be
deficiency in the pension appropriation for
the current fiscal year as nearly as can now
be estimated as follows: IS, 0OO, 600 army PEN
sions and $3O, 900 navy pensions, which should
be provided for, in order that the pensions for
the June quarter may be promptly paid
There were on the 30th Of June 136, 645 unset
tied claims for arrears, an increase over last
year Of 16, 258 To them are to be added about
~, 600 old claims which were revived by the
Arrears act OF Jan. 25, 1879, or called up from
the rejected files since that date, for further
consideration, and these, with the new claims
filed since the close of the year in excess Of
the number settled, added to the number shown
by the record, will aggregate fully 100000
Since the passage of the Arrears act new in
valid, widows, minor children, and dependent
relatives claims have been filed at an unprece-
dented rate, the invalid claims being more than
double the rate Of the receipts at any previous
period except in 1866, and the widows class ex
ceeded any year since 1867, and twice IS numer-
Gus as any year since 1871.
1t is estimated that at the close Of the wear
there will be not less than $50, 600 unsettled
cases before the Office.
