WASHINGTON, November l2.-The

annual report of the Commissioner of
Pensions for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1884. The report is dated November

Commissioner. 1t states there were ut

classified as follows: DIS, $50 army invalids,
1896 widows, minor children and de-
pendent relatives, 2,6l6 navy inyalids,
1888 navy widows, minor children and
dependent relatives, 1898 survivors Of the
war of 1912 and 1882 widows Of those
who served in that war. There were ad-
ded to the roll during the year "a, 1872 new
pensioners, and 1921 whose pensions had
been previously dropped were restored to
the roll; 1875 were dropped from the
rolls for various causes; the net increase
to the number on the roll is 10, 09s. The
average annual value of each pension at
the close of the year was $l06.75 and the
aggregate annual value of all pensions was
1884, 56, 600, an increase over a like value
for the previous year of 50, 2ll, 4O7. The
amount paid for pensions during the year
was $50, COS, 597, exceeding the annual
value of pensions several million dollars,
which represents the first payments gem
orally in new claims, and known
as arrears Of pensions. The
amount paid during the year
to 81, 207 new pensioners was 1913, Ala, Sl5,
and there remained in the hands of sew
eral pension agents 1903 cases. This
class was unpaid, in which there was due
81, 949, 900. The Commissioner says that
at the rate claims have been filed the past
few years, the close of the year will un-
doubte1ly show ], 1000. 600 claims filed for
pensions since 1861. Since that year the
total amount discussed is $67s, 346, 1874.
The Commissioner advocates the adoption
of remedial legislation by Congress, which
it shall take from the claimant some of
the burdens which in their operation
amount to a practical denial of his claim.
OF the system ofspccial examinations, he
says: 1T cannot fail to be gratifying to
show that the service has been more than
self-sustainir G, with a balance of 81, 1902
l02 as a net saving for Ii year

WASHINGTON, November 12.-Dr. ID.
Il. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry. has submitted to the Com
missioner of Agriculture a voluminous re-
port upon contagious diseases in animals,
the report being the result of experiments
and investigation made by the veterinary
division. Considerable space is given to
a detailed history of the recent outbreak
among cattle in Kansas and to a descrip-
ton of the symptoms. DR.. Salmon
reaches the conclusion that the disease
was erpotism. due to eating the fungus
known as erpot. Upon the treatment
and prevention of this disorder he saws
when the first signs of the disorder ap-
pear the most important point to be at
tended to is to make a complete change
of food and to see that this is of GOOD
quality, nutritious and free from ergot. 1t
would also be proper to give a dose of
phvsic. from one to two pounds of EPSON
salts, in order to remove as much as DOS
sible the poison still contained in the di-
gestiye organs and to follow this with soft
food, such as mashes and roots. The
most severe cases are those in which a
part of the limb is already lifeless. Treat
ment will then avail but little. A greater
number of cases. however. have not adj
yanced to this stage. lameness is first

where the drainage is bad and the water
is mere sewerage, are unaffected by the
epidemic; also that the environs of the
cemeteries are scarcely affected by the
disease, while in several portions of the city
which are we'll supplied with water several

He said to-day he intended to leave for
