WASHINGTON. Dec. e.-T'he report Of
Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reyn-
olds for the present year shows the policy
pursued In the administrator OF pension
affairs. IL states the important changes
in the rulings and practice and the fol-
lowing out OF a general plan for securing
equity, uniformity and justice In the de-
termination OF appeals. The assistant
secretary says;
THE liberal and generous spirit which
prompted the enactment of the pension
laws has been the guide OF the department
in their construction. Former adjudica-
tions have not been disturbed save where
fraud, error in law or mistake was ap-
parent"
Figures are cited to show the significant
reduction OF pending cases and TO demon
strate that for the first time in eight years
the work of the office during the past year
was devoted 10 considering current ap-
peaIs. The commissioner OF pensions was
reversed I'm 2.056 of the cases ruled. The
report says:
General satisfaction has followed the
recommendation of last year for such
legislation as insures better protection 10
the pension fund by the law directing all
quarterly payments TO be made by check.
Gratifying results have followed the pas
sage of the act OF March 2. 1895, which
secured an extension Of cases wherein pay
ments Of accrued pensions could be made
as well as that of the act of March 6, 1896,
relating TO the commencement of pensions
under act OF June q. 1890 The sugges-
ton is again made as to the advisablitv
OF such legislation as viii lodge in the
Federal courts the right OF any one. on
behalf Of the government. 10 ask better
protection 10 the pension fund OF those
laboring under legal disabilities"
The following are suggested: That Jus
tice demands the universal application Of
the committee on law rule in proof Of
marriage: that the pensionahle rights OF
minor children who claim under the act
OF June 81, 1890. should be defined with
more certainty where the soldier dies
leaving no widow surviving.
The act OF August 5. 1892, relates TO
the pensionable title Of those who served
as nurses during the war OF the rebellion.
Title is confined to those who served In
reEfmental post. camp or general hos
pitfalls. The refusal of the war depart
ment 10 recognize those as properly en-
ployed who served In the first three classes
mentioned. tends 70 defeat their title and
renders This portion OF the act nugatory.
Attention is invited to this in order that
the proper legislation may be enacted 10
relieve any deserving claimant of an un-
just unintentional discrimination.
On February /. 1896. a new division was
organized In the Office OF the secretary by
his order and the board Of pension ap-
peals was thereby merged into this new
division, which was designated the divi-
sion Of pension affairs BY This means all
matters relating 70 pensions was brought
into one division and under the assistant
secretary's supervision. The result has
been 10 harmonic and systemic this
work. and has also led to its greater ex-
petition ia the hands Of competent force.
