WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The annual

of Pensions, is made public. 1t shows
that there were on the pension rolls une
80, 1892, SIG, ,06s pensioners, an increase
during the year of 199,90S There were
added to the rolls during the year 222,::
937 new pensioners and ., AT pensioners
previously dropped were restored to the
pension lists. During the year 25,3O6
persons were dropped from the rolls.
The total amount expended tor pen
sions during the fiscal year was $780,
O35,612. For the present fiscal year
$144 ,956,O00 is appropriated and TAX
| ing the cost of pension allowances dur,
| ing the first four months OF this hsca
wear as basis of calculation the Com
missioner estimates that deficiency ap
preparation OF $10,5S6.2l will be nee
essary to supplement this years appro
priation. An estimate of $l65,OOO,
600 is submitted for the next hs
cal year, but Commissioner Raun
says that if as many allowance
of pensions shall be made during th
fiscal year as during the year endin!
June 3Oth last, this amount will not b
large enough. He adds, however, tia
is difficult to forecast pension payment
so far in advance and that as Congres
will be in session no embarrassment wi
arise if his successor, in the light OF tt
actual cost of the work OF the first 81
months of the next fiscal year, finds tha
further appropriation be needed.

COTTON'S GREAT ADVANCE

LONDON, Nov 30.-The Times publishes
a statement from what it deems trust
worthy source, intended to show that
the present rise in cotton IS without pre-
cedent except during the American Civil
War. and that the movement is wholly
speculative. The middlcmen, it says, are
buying as fast as they can, in the teeth
of the bad state of trade and the strike
in Lancaster and the absence OF any
proof of diminution i'll the supplies.
| The estimate of the American crop as
being 6,5OO,O0O bales is probably, the
Times says, as was the case last year,
greatly underrated. The article con-
tinues:
"A private telegram from reliable
house says that the crops in Texas are
much larger than is generally thought
the total visible supply OF cotton beng
scarcely 100, 900 bales under the yield o
s 1891"
In conclusion the article says that

LAWS CONCERNING NEWSPAPERS

The following are laws laid down
by the United States government for
the protection OF newspapers:
l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing 20 renew their sub
scriptions.
z. Ii subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue them until all ar
rearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their paper from the office or
place 10 which they are sent, they are
held responsible until they settle bills
and give notice OF discontinuancs.
4. II subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er and the paper is sent to their for
mer direction, they are held response
BILE.
3. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take paper from the office,
or moving and leaving it uncalled for
is prima facie evidence of intentional
fraud.
8. Any person who receives news
paper and makes use of it, whether he
has ordered it or not, will be held in
law to be d subscriber
z. If subscribers pay in advance.
they are bound to give notice to the
publisher at the end of their time If
they do not wish to continue taking it:
otherwise he is authorized to continue
sending it. and the subscribers will be
held responsible until an express notice
with payment of all arrears is sent to
the publisher.
.. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone-for fraud who takes a paper
and refuses to pay for it. Under this
law the man who allows his subscrip-
tlon to run along for some time unpaid
and then orders it discontinued, or
orders the postmaster to mark it .re-
fused, and have postal card sent
notifying the publisher. leaves himself
liable to arrest and fine, the same as
for theft.
