length the question whether, in the absence

He decides that it is and cites numerous
precedents, where states were admitted into
the Union without enabling acts to sustain
his position. The power to accept, modify
or reject the constitution adopted by a terri
tory when it seeks admission as a state, he
holds, is vested in congress. Congress" he
continues, quoting from the supreme court

WASHINGTON CITY, June 22-Assistant
Secretary Bussey yesterday rendered de-
cision in remarkable pension case, on an
appeal for re-rating and increase of pension.
1t appears from the records that the claim
ant, Richard Whiting, of company C,
Thirty third Missouri infantry, was wounded
at Tupelo, Miss, about July IA, 1864, and,
while lying on the field of battle in a help
less condition, received a sunstroke which,
soon after discharge, caused chronic nervous
prostration and impairment of mind, result
ing in imbecility and dementia as early as
1874. The wife and guardian of the claimant
filed an application for pension in 1888, which
was granted, the rate being fixed at $24 per
month, payment to begin from the date of
filing the application
The Pensioners Wife Appeals.
Subsequently, in 1885, the pension was in
creased to $50 month. The claim came be-
fore Assistant Secretary Bussey, upon an
appeal taken by the pensioners wife and
guardian, the ground of contention being
that the insane pensoner had not been ade-
quately rated under the statutes applicable
to the case, and that, instead of the pension
beginning at the date of filing the original
application in 1888, it should begin at the
date of the pensioners discharge inasmuch
as the limitation contained in the arrears of
pension act, approved March q, 1879, ex-
Fro " f,.n,, Of IL oil
"claims by i'll behalf of insane persons and
children under 10 years of age" Assistant
Secretary Bussey holds that this exceptional
provision Is applicable to the Whiting claim,
and hence allows him arrears from the date
of discharge.
Gets a Re-Rating.
In addition to this feature of the claim the
fact appears that since about 1878 the pen
sioner has been in a condition that has re-
quired "the personal aid and attendance of
another person." he having, soon after 1874,
become helpless from men tai imbecility, and
from partial paralysis of one side, due to
sunstroke and gunshot wound incurred in
the service; and the assistant secretary has
decided that claimants disabilities entitle
him not only to arrears but to re-rating
and increase of pension under the acts of
1872, and 1874 and 1880; the final rating be-
ing S72 per month from June 10, 1880. The
case is one of singular interest in its
historical features, one fact being that in
1885, upon slanderous and false information,
the claimants pension was reduced to the
meagre rate of So per month.
A Veteran of los Fights.
The decision of Assistant Secretary Bussey
applies the law thereto by careful con-
struction of its terms, and evidently rights a
fragrant injustice to veteran who served in
105 battles and skirmishes during the war
