WtsHIgGroS. Sept. Is. The retirement
from the pension Office Of Corporal Tanner
has renewed interest in the business OF the
pension agents in Washington. There was

six or eight years there has been q steady
decline OF this business, until at present ii
Is said that there is not more than one

agents secure the clieu,age of applicants.
and take the preliminary steps, but the
work OF pushing the claims, filing addi-
tionai testimony, and all that sort of thing,
IS IN more than two-thirds of the instances
done by men in congress. When the pen.
sions are allowed, the agents represent that
the success was due 10 their efforts, and
proceed to collect their fees. Nine tenths
Of the claims before the pension bureau are
represented by attorneys. and four-fifths of
the pensions allowed come through the eff
forts OF men in congress, or friends who
have no financial interest involved.
