also decline to go to sleep without night-cap,

PENSION DECISIONS.
Assistant Secretary Bassey Continues His Got
Work.


Last week Assistant Secretary Bussey rem
dered a decision in the case of Charles 3. Var
mum, late Sergeant Co. II, 2Sth Me-. who ap-
piled for a Te-rating and increase Of pension,
alleging total disability. The adverse decision,
from which an appeal is taken. was based solely
upon the opinion of the medical referee that
the combined disabilities of the claimant did
not result in incapacity for the performance Of
any manual labor, and that he was then in re-
ceipt of the full amount of pension to which
he was entitled under the law. The merit Of
the claim was not discussed.
The Assistant Secretary in his opinion SAYS
that the question as to whether the claimant
was totally ineapacitated for performing man
ual labor by his combined disabilities, which
are all accepted as of service origin, was not
necessarily purely medical one, but was also a
question of fact, to be determined by the weight
of evidence, and not by the professional opin-
ion Of the medical referee alone. The pre-
ponderance Of the evidence IN this case is
found by the Assistant Secretary to sustain the
allegations of the claimant, and it is ordered
that his pension be re-rated.
Assistant Secretary Bussey has ordered a new
investigation of the claim of James Dunn, a
private in a Massachusetts, regiment, for an in
crease Of pension. Dunn was pensiOned in
1884, at 81 per month, Tor gunshot wound in
the back, and Ills numerous applications for an
increase have been denied He repeatedly
claimed that the bullet had never been extract
ed, and finally asked TO have his wound opened
to prove this fact. The Department paid no
attention to this request, and it is also shown
that important testimony, which he had from
time to time sent to his attorney, is not on Gle
in the Pension Office.
