A PENSION ACT

Which the Report of the Pension Com
missioner Condemns.
WASHINGTON, February Ga circular
letter was recently issued by the claim
agent of this city and widely distributed
among government pensioners soliciting
employment in prosecution Of claim
which they cay is not in the nature Of
a pension and which they have
10 believe is due the pensioners from the
Government under the act Of Congress Of
March 10, 1886, which provided half pay
for FIVE years to widows OF soldiers killed
or which died of wounds subsequently to
April 20, 1918. The commissioner Of pen
sions in a report upon the subject to the
House committee on invalid pensions
ssys the act OF March 49,
1886, appears to be absolute as
all the benefciaries are provided for By the
more comprehensive act of July /, 1896,
and its benefits cannot be extended to the
soldiers of the late war or their heirs, as BY
the terms of section G of said act its
benefits are limited to those who
served in the Florida Indian
war Of 1885. The Commissioner
asks for the repeal OF the act mentioned
aud says It's retention in the statutes
tends to create confusion and offers in.
ducements 70 claim agents and others to
institute claims against the Government
resulting in unnecessary labor and cost to
the departments, even when it is shown
as ia this case that all the benefits confer
red by the act have been fully satisfied.
