pecuniary value Of the services of the
boy to his father. Adams being under
sentence of seven years in the peniten-

N late Of the Fiftieth New York engi-
neers, and Of Commissioner of Pensions
Lochren, ia the ease of Judge Long Of
Michigan. was the subject of "a confe-
renee yesterday afternoon between Sec
rotary Smith, Assistant Secretary Rey-
nolds and Commissioner Lochren.
Judge Lochren, whose opinion in the
case was reversed ON appeal stated that
he agreed with the later decision
After the conference Judge Reynolds
said: .I was absent when inquiry was
made at the office yesterday concerning
the Beers case. Ny attention having
been called to it, / am pleased to say that
both the secretary and the commissioner
of pensions fully concur ia the result of
the decision filed by me. and in the con-
struction put upon the act Of 1890"
The case of Beers is wholly unlike that
Of Judge Longs, as an examination Of
the paper viii Show. The opinion simply
discusses the act Of 1890. giving the #72
rate. it appearing from the evidence in
the Beers case that he came within its
requirements The act Of 1892 providing
the $50 rate, was not discussed, but in
fixing the $72 and $50 rates the two acts
must, without doubt, be construed to-
rether.
