payment of pensions fer the fiscal
year ended June 80, $39, 100000 remain
unexpended. and was reappropria!e,l
for the present fiscal year, making
the sum available for the expenses Of
the Pension Bureau about $125.OOO,-
600. Commissioner dudley expresses
the opinion that there will be another
large surplus at the end Of the pres
ent fiscal year; in that event he will
ask to have the surplus reappropri-
ated and expects to be able consider
ably TO reduce the amount required
for the fiscal year beginning July l,
1884. The Commissioner saws not
withstanding the probable saving of
this large surplus the number of pen
slsn claims passed upon the present
year will show large increase over
last year, and he attributes the saw
ing to the character of the cases and
the efficiency of the examiners. Com
missioner Dudley is also of the opin-
ion that he will be enabled to dis

blame of the panic is laid on low seal
awag negroes and a small numbrr of
easily frightened whites.
