A MARKED DECREASE IN PENSION PAYMENTS.


Washington May 12.-Commssioner Raum Of the
Pension Bureau has written the following letter to
Secretary Noble, calling attention to the material
decrease in payments account Of pensions during
the present fiscal year.
Il have caused examination Of the accounts
current Of the several pension agents for the present
fiscal year to be made and have made careful ap-
Proclamation Of the probable payments for the months
Of April, May and June, and have reached the con-
clusion that the entire payments for army pensions
during the present fiscal year will not exceed $780,
100000 The total appropriation for this service is
1926, 769,093 80. 1t seems probable that there
will be left of this appropriation at the end of the
fiscal year, S9,769000
al have instructed the pension agents to use the
greatest diligence possible in securing the payments Of
as many pension vouchers possible during the
month OF June, so TO have as small a number Of
claims 20 into the next fiscal year as possible,
in order that the smallest possible amount shall be
carried over from the present fiscal year to be
paid ot OF the appropriation OF the next fiscal year.
The allowance OF great number of claims under the
act Of June o. 1890, has reduced the amount Of
the first payments pension certificates as to bring
about the favorable results which have the honor Of
bringing to your attention.
A copy Of this letter has been forwarded TO the
Secretary of the Treasury for his information.

At THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
THE FORCE TO BE CUT DOWN.
REDUCTIONS IN THE NUMBER OF CUSTOM HOUSE
EMPLOYEES DECIDED UPON.

REDUCTIONS IN THE NUMBER OF CUSTOM hoosH
EMPLOYEES DECIDED UPON
Washington, May 12 (speciaD. Assistant secretary
spaIdlng was asked to-day what ground there was Tor
the statement that speedy reduction OF force In ,e
customs service generally was contemplated by the
Treasury Department In reply General spsldlns
said that slight cutting down OF the number OF en-
ployes in parts of the custom service had been made
imperative by the prospect Of deficiency IN Inc
standing appropriation for the collection OF tie
revenues. This appropriation Is permanent amman
one Of 100000 and though Congress has continued
creating new ports of entry and cnlargng the scope
of the Treasury Departments work, II has failed TO
Increase in any way the amount allowed for the ex
penses of collection Each year there has been
larger deficiency, and although the last Congress sp
propriated a certain sum TO make up the difference
for the fiscal year 10000, there Is some doubt
whether even this extra allowance will cover the ex-
peuses Of the Department up to July l. when the new
fiscal year begins.
1t has been determined, therefore, to cut down the
force of employees in the various custom houses Vhcre
such reductions will not materially impair the
efficiency of the customs service. The Secretary OF
the Treasury has had careful examination made OF
the custom houses in the chief seaports and thinks
that an appreciable saving can be made by cutting
of a number OF offices that not Indispensable
The change In the tariff ON sugars will give chance
for reductions In the force of inspectors formerly
employed in the sugar laboratories, especially at tho
ports OF Boston and Philadelphia Fewer changes,
perhaps will be made in New York than at other sea-
ports the needs Of the service there being always on
the increase The contemplated reductions VIII prop.
ably begin within the present month, and an en0re
will be made to get through the fiscal year lool-S
without the usual deficiency.

CENTRAL TRAFFIC FREIGHT QUESTIONS.


Chicago May 12.-The freight department OF the
Central Traffic Association met in regular session TINS
morning, but after referng the various subjects to
the subcommittee adjourned until tomorrow. An
important matter to be considered at this meeting Is
the action of the Big -Four In reducing the rate on hgh
wines from Peoria to NewYork to 80 12 cents on 100
pounds. a reduction of six cents This makes the
tariff lower than that from Chicago Dhich is 80 cents
The reason given by the Big Four for this action Is
that other lines which 1t does not name, have been
secretly cutting the rate on high wines Chairman
Blanchard has informed The officials OF the Big -Four
that he cannot authorize shipments to pass inspection
at lower rate than that fixed by the Joint rate com
mittee The Rock Island road to day asked permission
OF Mr. Blanchard to meet the reduced tarih from
Peoria. but received the same answer that wac gwen
the Big -Four. 1t is probable that the latter rOad

appeal 70 arbitration or withdraw from the association
II has also made an unauthorized reduction of the
cotton rate to the basis OF % cents from East st. Louis
