PENSION MATTERS.

Proposed
bill fixing limit to the time in which ap-
plications for pensions may be filed was intro
duced In the House yesterday by Representa-
tive Peel of Arkansas. 1t provided as follows:
That pensions shall not be granted on original
applications filed after January /. 1893, for dis
abilities incurred or diseases contracted in the
military or naval service of the United States
in the late war: that pensions shall not be
granted upon original applications filed after
January I, 1894, for any disability whatever;
and that no increase of more than Is per cent
of the original pension shall be allowed in pen
sions hereafter granted on account Of military
service in the late or for disability incurred
therein. Nothing in the act il to be construed
to prevent widow of An honorably discharged
Union soldier from applying for and receiving
pensions under existing law, provided her mar
riage to the deceased soldier occurred prior to
the LIST Of January, 1892.
Representative Mckinney. from the invalid
pensions committee, reported to the House q
bill establishing an intermediate rate Of PEN
sion between $50 and S72 per month. This
pension Is to be given to those persons totally
incapacitated for performing manual labor and
disabled to such degree as to require fire.
quent and periodical though no regular and
constant personal aid and attention of another
person. Total and absolute deafness Of both
ears is to be deemed such degree of disability
as is contemplated by this act.
In a report accompanying the bill is an argu-
ment to show the necessity OF an intermediate
rate OF pension. 1t is not apprehended, the
report says, that any difficulty growing out of
applications for increase Of pension by those
persons who are now pensioned at specific
ratings will arise if the bill becomes law On
the other hand, it was not deemed expedient
to place a clause in the bill excluding from its
benefits all persons who are pensioned
at specific rates for amputation of
their limbs lest this provision might
work a hardship to certain deserving soldiers
whose disability therefrom is greatly aug
mented by other disabilities. diseases or COM
plcations. The proviso relative to total deaf
ness is designed as a recognition Of the great
disability, inconvenience, humiliation and in
ability to secure employment which arises in
the case Of those persons who are totally or ab-
sOlutely deaf

IMPORTANT PENSION DECISION
Which Affects About $4,000 Men Who Served
in the Pennsylvania Militia

Which Affects About $4,000 Men Who Served
in the Pennsylvania Militia
Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered an
important decision in the case Of Rudolph NJ.
Manley Of company I, forty-seventh Pennsyt-
vania volunteer militia. He was enlisted for
ninety days and while in the service was injured
by sunstroke. In 1884 he was granted PEN
sion OF S24 per month, but on June Is, 1891 his
name was dropped from the pension roll upon
the ground that it had been ascerrained that
the regiment to which he belonged was not
in the United States service, but in the service
OF the state Of Pennsylvania This is the posi-
ton taken by the judge advocate general Of the
army in decision rendered September IL, 1890
Assistant Secretary Bussey, however, after an
elaborate review of the law and the evidence in
this case, concludes that 1t comes within the
first subdivision of section 1888 OF the Revised
Statutes which includes among those entitled
to the benefits Of pension ''army officers Of the
army, including regulars, volunteers and
militia, or any officer in the navy or marine
corps, or any enlisted man, however employed,
in the military or naval service of the United
States or in its marine corps, whether regularly
mustered or not, disabled by reason of any
wound or injury received or disease con-
tracted while in the service Of the United
States in the line of duty" The pension
bureau contended that Manley's case came
within the third subdivision Of that section OF
the act and that having "failed to prosecute his
claim to successful issue prior to July 4,
1874" the same was barred The assistant sec
Rotary. however, does not take this view Of the
case and directs that Manley name be restored
to the pension roll. This decision restores to a
pensonable status the sc, 900 soldiers who served
in the Pennsylvania militia about the time of
Lees invasion of that state. The questions in
VOWED in this decision have received more than
ordinary consideration, an opinion having been
rendered to Secretary Noble by the assistant
attorney general for the Interior Department,
and later an opinion by the Attorney General
of the United States, both Of which sustain the
present decision.

SCHOOL BOARD HITTING.
The city school board held it, regular meet
ing last night Mayor Strauss presided in the
absence Of the president and . quorum was
present The committee on school houses and
furniture was authorized to have q new roof
put upon the academy building. The superin-
tendent reported that two or three girls Of the
forty-nine applicants have been able to obtain
places in the lower grades during the
month. As the reports were not all
unable to obtain admission. He thought
that most of the girls who had been unable to OBJ
tain admission to the public schools we're at
private schools. He called attention to the
fact that the furniture Of oil the school build
ings except the Washington School was shaky
and most Of it beyond repair. The ordinary
life Of school furniture, he said was from seven
to ten years. and the furniture OF the OTHER
buildings had been in use over sixteen years.
The finance committee were requested to make
the proper annual estimates and the board ad-
journed.
