WORK OF THE PENSION OFFICE.
Forecast of What the Commissioner's Re
port VIII Show.

. There is more than usual interest attached TO
the forthcoming annual report of the commits
sioner Of pensions for the reason that the pen
sion appropriation figures largely in the annual
budget OF the government. Ii has been pretty
well understood for some time past
that the estimates for the next fiscal
year would show a large increase. This ex-
pectation was based on the fact of large issue Of
pensions made during the year. In few days
now the report OF Gen. Raum will be COM
pieted and the full statement of the condition
Of the pension Office which will be presented
VII be read with general interest The state
ments have been made that the amount that
will be required for pensions for the next fiscal
year will reach the enormous sum of nearly
500 1900, 900. The work of computing the
figures has however, been sufficiently advanced
TO show that this estimate Is in excess of the
actual conditions.
LARGER THAN EVER LAST YEAR.
During the past year the appropriations for
pensions were larger than for any previous
year. In fact ever since the passage of the
disability bill there has been rapid yearly in
crease in the amount needed TO pav
the pensions. For the year lS90-91 the
total appropriation was about Sl25. .O00, 600.
Last year there increase in
the amount of the appropriations TO Sl4i,-
100000 But. Gen. Raum will state in his
report, this amount fell short of the actual de-
mands by about $4,000, 600. so that there
Is deficiency TO that extent Congress
will be asked TO make an appropriation of about
SlS0.000.0 900 for the coming year, which in
cludes an estimated increase of about
$4,000, 900 needed to meet all the demands
for the year.
NOT so MUCH AS PREDICTED.
1t is estimated that while there will be an in
crease in this amount. vet the limit appears to
be in the near future. Those who hold
this view argue that the great bulk OF
the pension appropriation at present is
used in making the first payment. For exam
pie. man who gets pension under the diss-
bility law receives on an average $40 per
month He Is entitled to il not only for the
future. but for the past. running back
period of twenty-seven years TO the
date of his discharge Ten dollars
month for twenty-seven wears amounts 20
quite neat sum. and when the number of such
cases granted Is considered il is not dIitcult 10
understand where the money goes Now il IS
maintained that these first PAYMENTS represent
an annual sum Of over SJ0OOO. Geo and II oulv
the curren; amount OF the pensions Was paid
the money needed for the next year would be
Sl3O, 900 900 instead of SlS0.000.o00
GREAT WORK DONE LAST YEAR.
Gen. RaGm in his report will call especial al
tention TO the volume of work accomplished bv
the Office during the past year. The great
number of more than 81 600 cases were granted
during the year. The estimate j. also made by
those familiar with the work OF the pension
office that with the disposition of some SO0.-
900 more cases the work under the disability
act will he eappluiad

"James G. Blaine has had no warmer, truer
friend than Uncle Jerry Rusk, says Smith d.
Fry, who furnished the interview printed FIJI
day, in which Secretary Rusk ia quoted as
saving: 81 am no traitor" Mr.. FRY continued:
my conversation with Gen. Rusk was not at
the time intended an interview for pubhca-
hcation, but afterward 1 concluded that
that one part Of his talk was worthy
for publication, as indicating the
intense loyalty Of the man to his friends
zee that some papers are twisting the interview
into an inuendo against Blame. This amazes
me. There was no such idea expressed by
Gen. Rusk. There was no such idea in my
Jerry Rusk to say an unkind thing Of Blaine. or
harbor an unkind thought Of Blaine, - il
would Be for you or me to cast reflections upoa
the name and fame OF Abraham Lincoln"

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
A San Francisco Newspaper Corresponds

Interviews the Legislators st Honolulu
san FRAScIsoo, Nov. 2l.-The Enamiasr to-
day published three-page article by its corres-
pondent, T. Williams. on the annexation Of The
Hawaii Islands by the United States.
The article says it has been understood tha1
the State DepaI tment at Washington has been
for some time considering the question of an
nexation and considerable correspondence ON
that subject has been exchanged with the
Hawaiian minister. Admiral Brown. il II
claimed, also received instructions to look int
the matter while he at Honolulu.
Mr.. Williams sent to Honolulu by Tho
Examiner aud spent five weeks there invesu-
eating the subject. Out of the forty-two me m
bers of the Hawaiian parliament he obtained
signed articles the subject from forty-one.
Ten of these regard annexation as possible and
desirable in case the Hawaiian government "
disrupted.
The thirty-one who are opposed 20 annexs-
tion natives who are in favor of the auto
nomy of the Hawaiian kingdom, Americans who
object TO a territorial form of government for
the islands and sugar planters who conduct
their business with contract Japanese laborera
II Hawaii were annexed this last class could not
hire cheap contract labor and their interests
would suffer.
The article referred to SAYS the Americas
interests in Hawaii represent capital Of about
Sll0, ,000. 900. while British interests are small
Americans conduct almost all of the business
and the English interests are not likely 20 bs
increased.
1t was stated that the queen favored Engish
in preference to the Americans. but this, 70 b
claimed, is not 80. This impression. 40

United States coaling station at Pearl harbor

THE BANK CURRENCY TAX.

Democrats said To Intend Seeking Its Re-
peal by the Present Congress.
1t is understood that there will be an earnest
effort made by the democrats to pass through
Congress this session the bill repeating the tax
on bank currency.
There is some fear that Mr. Cleveland NAV
not favor the bill and that there will he diff
Guilty in carrying out their platform promise
on this subject if they wait until he comes into
office. 1t is thought TO be sharp politics to put
the republican Segate and President on record
as to the measure before il is submitted 10 the
democratic adm nistrntion. The bill will prob
ably be sent to the Senate early this Session
and an attempt be made to pass it through that
body, which, of course, will fail.

From the recently issued census bulletin
on the combined textile industries of the
country, it appears that Maine had i'll
1890 only lO6 establishments as compared
with l22 in 1880. But with sixteen less
mills than in 1880 the returns for the
census year OF 1890 show an increase of
over a million in capital invested, up
wards of four thousand more hands en-
plovod. more than two millions increase
in wages paid, and an increase of about
four millions i'll the value of product.
Cotton manufacture is OF course the
leading textile industry OF Maine, and
Notwithstanding there We're only p mills
in operation in 1890 as compared with II
in 1850 the ten years period shows an in
crease of more than five millions in capital
invested, OF over two thousand in the
number of hands employed, of nearly one
and a hall millions in wages paid, and of
about two millions in the value of product.
The wooden mills Of Maine operated
during the census year of 1890 numbered
s. as compared with 81 in 1880, a falling
off of l.. Nevertheless there was an in
crease OF about five and one-half millions
in capital invested, OF more than two
thousand in the number of operatives, OF
nearly million dollars in wages paid and
of close on to two millions in value OF
product

Maine Fish and Game.

The annual report of the Maine fish and
game commissioners has been completed,
and will be found interesting to sports
men. The doubts which for some time
existed in the minds of the commissioners
regarding the full success of fish culture
in Maine, have been dispelled Mr.. Stan
ley says the two years have been freighted
with success far beyond all expectations.
In some waters, notably Swan lake, near
Belfast, the growth and the increase of the
trout put into the lake have been startling.
When Moosehead shall give up salmon
weighing six, eight OF ten pounds, as Green
Lake and some other State waters do, then
it will add to its already great fame as a
fishing resort. Take it all in all citizens
must be pleased with the outlook of fish
culture, while those who are each year es-
pecially benefited will take increasing
pleasure.
In the matter of big game the report of
the commissioners will be of great interest.
There is no need to tell any one that deer
have greatly increased, but not so much is
known regarding moose and caribou The
facts are that the law protecting COW
moose has resulted in an increase of these
animals. The commissioners have in
their employ an expert woods man and
hunter, Mr.. G. f. Corliss. of Cherryteld,
whom they sent this year ON a long tour
over what they termed ''the moose re
glon. When he came home he reported
a great increase though of course, he
could not say but what some of the ami
mails had been S'dogged and driven down
from Canada, but from the fact the ami
mails did not seem more shy than is nat
ural for them, he concluded the increase
had been from increased births on Maine
soil
The commissioners hope for an increase
i'll the appropriations, for they will argue
that for every dollar spent in the way of
protection of game and fish and in fish
culture comes back ten times that amount
from parties Of the State who come here
to fish and hunt Maine forests are giving
a great revenue to the people outside the
lumber interests. There has been more
or less trouble with the poachng element
but this has not been a native element
On the other hand, the men who now dis
regard all the Maine laws and simply seek
a vent for their own sweet wills are men of
wealth and good standing at home and out
of the State But they do not hesitate to
come upon the soil of Maine to seek the
woods in the remote regions and kill and
and steal the property of the State, con-
verting ii to their own use, maybe skulk-
ing home with it as they can, if not leav-
ing it to decay in the woods Not all such
marauders have been caught and punished,
vet the commissioners say that nearly
s., 100 have been collected for violations of
the fish and game law
