Some Pension Figures.

According to the annual report oI
the commissioner Of pensions Just
published, the number Of pensioners
now amount to 970,676. There was a
loss Of 44,093 pensioners from the
rolls during the year. The mortality
exceeds that of any corresponding
period in the history of the bureau.
This loss was more than offset. how
ever, by the addition of 40,374 new
pensioners and the restoration of
.3.s73, who had been previously
dropped, making net gain of l54
names.
The amount paid out last year was
Sl3s, s,2l4.900 The roll from now on,
says the commissioner. will show a
steady diminution. The rate of NOR
tality of the pensioners, particularly
Of those who served through the war
Of the rebellion, is rapidly increasing.
The amount appropriated for pension
payment, $40, 900, was found
amply sufficient.
A gratifying feature Of the report
for 1896 is the evidence of a vigorous
effort on the part of the commissioner
to prosecute offenders against the PEN
sion laws, s39 indictments having been
found during the year, resulting in
lG1 convictions.
