E.,,mnte for pension Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 26.-The Pen
sion Bureau has prepared an estimate OF
the pivision of the appropriation provided
by Congress at the last session for the
support of the pension service during the
fiscal year just begun and ending June 30,
1894. The amount of the appropriation
was $l66, 1893 Whether this will cover
the expense Of the service remains to be
seen. 1t seems likely, however, that
deficiency appropriation may be required.
The appropriation of sl66, $50, 565 has been
divided into the following payments: For
army pensions, Sl6l, 600, 600; for navy pen
sons, So, 1879, 2l5; for fees OF examining
surgeons, 81 900, 600; for salaries Of pen
sion agents, $4,000; for clerk hire at pen
sion agencies, 100000; rents, pension
agencies, S22, $50; fuel and lights, pension
agencies, 81 800; contingent expenses, pen
sion agencies, $4,000. OF course this APP
preparation does not include the cost Of
maintaining the pension bureau in this
city and paying the expenses Of running
that bureau. That is provided by the
legislative appropriation.

OTrowA. ONT, July 26-The latest adj

the British Government in connection with
the Siam difficulties may tend TO iniure
their case before the arbitration board.
