RequIsition Made Upon she Treasury De-
psrtment for S1S,O0O,Oo0.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-The assist
ant secretary of the interior signed
acquisitions upon the treasury depart
ment for more than S13, 900, OOO pension
money to be paid out on July 4. In
stead of drawing out the fall amount
of money needed for the quarterly pay
ment of pensions, the interior de-
partment now makes reQuisi-
ton monthly and distributes the
money, depositing it at the va
rious cities, so that it will be easier
both for the treasury department and
better transmission methods to the
various agencies. If the full $40, 600, 600
was sent out every three months ii
would be too large drain on the treas
ury, and too large q sum to be trusted
TO ordinary methods of transmission.
