THENATION'S SCAPlTAL
Disholelable Discharge no Bll
to Pensions.
Blsssy Again 0IsR-Flles His Pfedscss-
saR's Opinions.
One oi the Oldest American consuls
Dead.


WAsHISGroS, Aug. 10.
Assistant Secretary Bussey rendered AL
important decision in the pension claim of
Daniel 8. Kaufman, late of Company A.
&5th Regiment. Penna-, vol. l, brought be-
fore him on Q motion 10 reconsider.
In division the assistant secretary recinds
rule 1856, made by Commissioner Black,
Sept 4. 1885. and overrules the opinion OF
ex-Assistant Hswk kins in the same case. that
''dishonorsble discharge from the service
operates as '.bsr to = pension" He also
holds that rule 1875 was an erroneous inter
pretztion of the statutes granting pensions
to soldiers Of the late war for disabilities in
Cured in the line of duty. and declares that
the character Of soldiers discharge cannot
affect his claim for pension on account of
such disabilities. He holds that 'dishonor-
able discharge" 10 penalty for specific
oiiense against the service, for which
soldier may be punished, and the penalty
cannot include nor relate to claim for
pension based upon disability. The two
things are held wholly distinct from each
other and are not governed BY the same legal
c0nsid erations.
