of No. 271 New York avenue that his di-

matron of the Jail less thar a month. The

Money Paid Out TO Gallant Soldiers
and Their Survivors,

anu 1neir survivors.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE report
of Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1894.
has been submitted to the secretary of
the interior and the following abstract
has been sent out for publication: The
report states that the number of PEN
sioners on the roll June 80, 1888, was
1856, Sol; that during the year 80, 1856
new pensioners were added to the rolls.
1881 were drupped Tor death and
other causes, and 2,39S previously
dropped were restored TO the rolls. The
number of pensioners upon the rolls
June 30, 1894, was $3.50, 954. The num-
Der OF pension certificates issued during
the year WAS 50. 1913, and 1872, 2S7 claims
OF all elias ses We're rejected. On July l,
1894. there were undisposed of aud in
different stages of preparation and ad-
vaucenent claims Tor pensions and for
increase In the amount of S6l9. 607, for
which 2S7, 200 claims, originals, Wild
ows and dependents are in behalf Of
rersons not already on the rolls.
i he arrears act brought in a large
number OF new claims tor increasing
allowances, and the disability act Of
June 27, 1890, caused 1863, 7e7 claims to
be filed next year. As most OF the
claims were meritorlous and simple az
to proof under that law and un Ger law
l6f which went beyond the law and
raled disabilities as IL of service orinin.
the work was easy, and an expert ex-
aminer could glance over the papers
and allow 80 or more il day. Most
of the force of special examiners were
called Ia and put ut this work. The
difficult cases aud such as were lacking
in proof aud suspicious in respect to
merit or requiring special examination
wore passed over, and now constitute a
large part OF the cases coming up for
adjudication.
The new claims of all kinds have
fallen of from 1863 799 in 1891 to 40, las
In 1894. The cmount paid for pensions
during the year was S139, S04, 48l, leav-
ing n balance in the treasury of $25.-
2Oo.7lS OF the appropriations. Much
dishonesty and fraud. mainly attrib-
utabie to Inscriptions claim agents.
were discovered, and there were 1914
convictions within the year for pension
frauds and torgeres.

THE YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK:
The superiotendent's report on Iis Co
dItlan

The superiotendents Report on lis Con-
dltion.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. l1.-Cap-
tain II. 9. Gale Of the Fourth cavalry,
acting superintendent of the Yosemite
National Park, Cal, has submitted his
report to the secretary of the interior.
He says that there are many mis-
understandings owing 10 the pri-
vaJe ownership of land in the park.
1t would be wise, he believed, for
he government to purchase the Tim
Der land in the park aud thinks IL
would be advisable for a commission
to be appointed to appraise all land
owned by private parties, and learn If
1t could be secured. Game in the PARK
is on the increase, end larger wild ami
mails make their presence felt. Forest
fires have not been of any magnitude.
He thinks the droppings from the
trees should be burned every year,
because If allowed to accuut-
late, 1t would be disastrous.
The report recommends "a
reduction In the size of the park, by
withdrawing the miuing and agrIcult.
urai lands, and advoca es the adoption
OF natural instead OF artificial bound
AIRY !Ies. me REDUCTION IN size would
throw out about 20 townships and
leave the balance of the park most
wholly In The possession of the govern
ment.
Captain James Parker, Fourth cav
airy, acting superintendent OF the Sc
9uois and General Grant national
parks, reports to Secretary Smith the
condition of these national reserva-
tons, showing what has been done In
projecting them. He says that
there are great demands by the
sheep men for pasturage on
these reservations. He considers
the policy OF making forest reservations
coed ore, and suggests the extension
OF these national parks to include the
land between the forest reserves and
tie parks, and also to take In portion
oil the fores; reserves. More roads are
needed In the parks.
