ARMY AND NAVY

Gen. Schofeld has issued an order to increase
regimental bands from Is to 90 pieces. Army
men say that 16 pieces are not sufficient to
mako a creditable appearance.
There has been another check in the prog
ress Of the plan to turn the Vesuvius from a
dynamite vessel into torpedo catcher, the
Board Of Naval Bureau chiefs having the mat
ter in charge being divided as to the expedi-
ency of going Oh with the work, owing to the
recent successful tests with the pneumatic
guns. There is strong sentiment in favor OF
at least postponing the change for year in or
der to profit by practical experience with the
dynamite guns, as well as to save the large
amount of money necessary to defray the cost
of the transformation.

ever she wears jacket, puts her handkerchief

The present tariff bill is not the only one in
which foolish errors have been made-errors,
too which would have proved very costly had
they become the law. Indeed, one of the lat.
ter some 90 years ago, when discovered too late
in tariff bill, was the result only of the mis-
placement of a comma. In list of articles
specified which should be admitted free of
duty, "all foreign fruit plants" etc, were
mentioned, meaning plants imported for trans
planting, propagation, or experiment. In copy
ing the bill the enrolling clerk accidentally
changed the hyphen in the compound word to
a comma making the reading "all foreign
fruit plants" etc. Hence, for a year, before
Congress could do anything, all foreign fruits
were admitted free. This mistake cost the

PENSION KILLINGS.

Several Thousand pension claims are affected
by four recent rulings Of Acting Secretary
of the Interior Reynolds constituting the
act of Jan. 5. 1893, which provides for an in
crease of pension from So to $l2 per month on
account of service in the Mexican war. The
Acting Secretary holds that the increase granted
under that act does not commence at the date
of the act but from the date of approval of the
increase claim in the Pension Bureau, and
that the increase does not apply to the case
of widows
The act, says Judge Reynolds does not in
clude those persons who composed Powel's
battalion of Missouri volunteers. who were
directed to be placed upon the pension-roli sub
ject to the provisions Of the act of Jan. 90 1887,
pensioning the survivors of the war with Mex
leo. The Department also holds that the fee
of S25 claimed by attorneys under articles of
agreement, cannot be allowed, and no fee in
excess of 81 can be paid, provided in the act
of March 3. 1891, the increase being in the
nature of an allowance on account of increase
of the disability for which the soldier is already
pensioned.
