Several thousand pension claims are
affected by four recent rulings of Acting
Secretary of the Interior Reynolds. con-
STRUNG the act Of January 5. 1893. which
provides for increase Of pension from IS to
$12 per month on account Of service in the

that the increase granted under that act
does not commence at the date of the act,
but from the date Of approval of the in
crease claim in the pension bureau. and
that the Increase does not apply to the case
of widows.
The act. says Judge Reynolds. does not
include those persons who composed Pow
ellis battalion of Missouri volunteers who
were directed 70 be placed upon the pension
roll subject to the provisions of the act Of
January -. 1887. pensioning the survivors
of the war with Mexico. The department
also holds that the fee of SIS claimed by at
tcrneys. under articles of agreement, cannot
be allowed. and no fee in excess Of 81 can
be paid. as 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.

ment tending to show that the testimony OF

ployed by the district attorneys once In

ceived q reply In the negative. At this
