saved sum the $iS5197.64 returned TO the

Assistant Secretary Reynolds Reports Them
Disposed of More Rapidly Than Ever.
The report of Assistant Secretary Reynolds
relating 10 pension appeals for the fiscal year
ending June 80 1895. shows that average of
500 appeals have been disposed OF each month,
and that the business of this branch of Depart
mental work has been brought up 10 date, as
against 4965 cases in arrears in April, 1893.
The appeals now pending represent the current
work of the Office, and the record of the pre-
vious year, in which the number of cases lis
posed of was twice that of any like period be-
FORE has not only been maintained but exceeded
to the extent of 269 cases.
From April ID, 1893, to July !. 1895, 17,212
cases have been adjudicated OF the total num-
Der of appeals disposed of during the year. the
action of the Pension Bureau has been reversed
in POS cases.
Gratifying results have followed the passage
of the act relating to the payment of accrued
pensions. which was recommended to Congress

President March 2 1885, Legislation is recon-
/ mended which will define with more certainty
the pensionable rights of minor children, un-
der the act of June %, $780, in those cases
where the soldier dies leaving no widow sur
vving, the construction of the act on this point
now resting in much doubt, and the title OF
such children sustained only by implication.
Stress is again laid upon the recommends
tion of the previous year for legislation which
will secure for their maintenance, to the wives
and children of pensioners who unlawfully
abandon those dependent upon them, por-
ton of the bounty paid such pensoner, and
also for legislation which will remedy the evils

ARMY AND NAVY

The report OF Lieut. Niblack on the opera
tions of the naval militia during the past three
years has been made. In Endorsing the report,
Mr. McAdOo says that the organizations are
growing rapidly in favor, and the interest of
the pnblic in them is steadily increasing This
organization. founded on patriotic zeal, is en-
titled to every encouragement ut the hands of
the Government. Lieut.. Niblack' s report shows
that New Jersey and Georgia were the only
States to make returns and share in the alot-
ment funds during the year. He shows that
the supply of ships for militia purposes is now
exhausted, and touching the experience of the
California militia on their last cruises aboard
Government vessels he says that such short
cruises are of no real benefit to the militia.
Because Of the hot and facilitating weather OF
the southern Summers, he suggests that the
time of cruises Of the North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia militia should be changed
TO Spring or Fall.
Assistant Secretary McAdoo has ordered n
court of inquiry to assemble at the Washington
Navy-yard tor the purpose Of investigating the
alleged hazng or maltrcatment of certain
members of the class of enlisted men under in
struction in ordnance at that yard by other
members of the class. The sufferers were col.
ored men. and it is alleged they were hazed by
being thrown overheard and otherwise i'll
treated on account of race prejudice.
