Acting Secretary Joslyn has rendered
decision which will be of interest to
pension agents and pension attorneys
alike. 1t is specially in the interest of
pension attorneys and deprives the pen.
sicn agent of small fee he formerly
received and which in the course OF
many years amounts to considerable
sum. The case came up from the pen.
sion Office on an appeal by Milo B.
Stephens, pension attorney of Cleve.
land, Ohio. The commissioner of pen.
sions had decided that under the new
law United States pension agents may
deduct thirty cents from the amount of
attorney Tees as compensation for SER
vices in forwarding the same IN each
pension claim allowed and represented
by pension attorney at the time of
allowance. This was the old law en-
braced in section 4,769 of the revised
statutes, which. however, was repealed
by the act of July, 1877, fixing the COM
pensation of pension agents. 1t appears
that the commissioner of pensions was
under the impression that the law passed
last session virtually destroyed the old
law, and he ruled that pension agents
could now collect the thirty cents fee.
On this question Mr.. Joslyn disagreed
with him, and ruled that while the act of
July 4, 1884, materially changed the act
of 1878 it failed to re.enact the old law
authorizing this. In his letter to the
commissioner of pensions he gives
complete history of the pension laws.

as we'll fitted by experience and other
wise for the places to which they are
promoted. They are also very popular,
and received the congratulations from
their numerous friends to-day. Mr..
Crowell is q Minnesota man, and at one

His many friends there no doubt will be
glad to hear of his advancement. Mr..

AS result of the recent decision of the
United States supreme court, in the case
of Butterworth, commissioner of patents,
VS.. tho United States, OK rel, Hoe ct al,
wherein it was held that an appeal can
not lie from the decision of the commits
sioner of patents to the secretary of the
interior. Secretary Teller has ordered
the dismissal of all pending appeals in
patent cases. The practice Of entertain
ing such appeals was begun in Secretary
Kirkwood's administration, and since
that date the decisions of the commits
sioner of patents have been reversed in
instances. In these cases land included
among them is an appeal relating to the
telephone interference proceedings be
tween Blake, Edison, and Drawbaugh),
1t is believed that tho secretary's decision
will be without legal effect and tho
parties in interest must revert to tho
original decisions of tho commissioner
of patents.
