INCREASE IN PENSION LIST.
A Thoussnd Nance Added In Exccss
Of Those struck Oh.

Of Those struck on.
A year ago Commissioner Of Pensions
Lochrcn said that the limit had probably
been reached In the number Of pensions,
or rather In the amount to be yearly mp.
propriated for pensions, but that for
two or three years the payments would
remain about the same. 1t was his opin.
ION that there would be slight reduc.
ton In the number Of pensioners on &C.
count Of deaths, but that the allowance
Of new pensions with back pay and ar
rears would probably keep the amount
about even. While the amount Of money
paid for pensions will not be materially
different from that Of past years, II mp.
pears that there has been added to the
pension rolls during the year about 1000
names In excess Of those that have
dropped out. NO there has been an increase
instead Of q decrease. There have been
q great many outstanding pension claims
adjusted during the year, and that &c.
counts for the large increase. The yearhas
not been very fatal to pensioness, tho
death rate being less than would be an.
ticipated at the time Of life Mt which the
veterans Of the late war have arrived.
