SENATOR VEST DRAWS HIS SWORD.
He Denounces Things In General and
Bond syndicates In Particular The su-
preme Court Abused-Bills introduced
In Both Branches Of Congress.


WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The senate was
treated to one Of Senator Vests character
istic speeches. He arraigned the supreme
court for the income tax decision. He laid
the responsibility for the lack of revenue
at their door when they exempted the
"sordid wealth of the land' from taxa
ton. He contras6ed the records of the
present and past administrations. He
threw some light upon heretofore unknown
chapters in the history of the Mckinley
law. He denounced the financial depend
ence of this country and Of others upon
the moneyed influence. He attacked the
president and the secretary of the treasury
for their proposition to retire the green
backs and place the circulation in the
hands Of the national banks. He quoted
Secretary Carlisle against himself, and, in
conclusion, declared that the conflict be-
tween bimetallism and the gold standard
was irrepressible, and that the sooner it
was decided the better it would be for our
public and private life
The other feature Of the session grew out
of the introduction by Mr.. Chandler Of
bill for a popular loan through the issue
Of postal savings certificates. In the course
Of Mr.. Chandler's remarks the cable re-
plies of the Prince of Wales, the Roths-
childs and others to the New York World
were alluded to, and Mr. Lodge claimed
that the editor Of The World had been
guilty Of violating section 1895 Of the re-
vised statutes in holding communication
with officials Of another government, the
purpose Of which twas to interfere with a
measure Of the United States
Mr. Gray Of Delaware rebuked both
Messrs. Lodge and Chandler for the sug-
gestion that public opinion could not be
solicited either here or abroad on any ques
tion and affirmed that just public opin-
ion in all civilized centers must be the
final arbitrator Of all disputes

LIMIT REACHED
Pension Commissioner Murphy's
Annual Report to Secretary
Francis.
He Believes the Pension List Will
Not Attain Larger Pro-
portions.
DEATH Has Removed Many the
Past Year. Some Recon-
mendatiOnS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Dominick
Murphy. commissioner of pensions, has
made his annual report for the fiscal
Francis: He says
There were added to the rolls during
the year 4O,374 new pensioners, and
there were restored 1878 who had been
previously dropped, total of A. ,247.
During the same period the losses were
80, 1913 by death, and III by remarriage
swidows); 1854 by legal limitation
(minors) 2.552 because of failure to
claim pension for three years, and 9.328
for other causes. an aggregate of Al, ,093.
Probably Reached the Limit.
The net gain over the previous year
was only l54, and it may be now safely
assumed that the roll from this time
forth will show marked and steady
decrease, unless congress should enact
still more liberal provisions than are
now upon the statute books. The rate
of mortality among our pensioners, par.
ticularly among those who served dur
ing the war Of the rebellion, is rapidly
increasing, the number reported de-
ceased during the year far exceeding
that Of any corresponding period in the
history of the bureau.
The whole number of pensioners on
the roll June 30, 1896, was 970,67S.
While the rolls show slight gain in
numbers over the year Immediately pre-
ceding, the amount disbursed for pen.
sions was Sl3s,2l4, 76l. decrease of
1852, ,575, as compared with the pre-.
vious year.
Pension Claims Pending.
There were 495, 1854 pension claims
pending at the close of the fiscal year,
234. 1857 being applications for increase
by persons now on the
rolls Although last years esti.
mate Of $l40 600. 600 for pensions was
Sl, $50, $40 more than was necessary for
the past fiscal year. the commissioner
duplicates that estimate for the next
fiscal year, stating that he believes the
adjudication of many cases will make
the full! amount necessary 1t is his in
tention to push the settlement of cases
as rapidly as possible.
Recommendation.
Commissioner Murphy commends the
work of the specia. examiners, and says
that the additional force of 100 should
be continued The cost of this force
during the year was $497 1903 He says
the pension building is at present mad
equate for the work and makes some
suggestions relative to improvements
He recommends an increase of $l2 pc,
month OF pensions to survivors of the
Mexican war. and also recommends
pensions tc widows of officers and sol.
dlers who died from causes originating
in the service prior TO March 4, 1861
He recommends the passage of the bill
pending in congress for the codlfication
o. the pension laws .-
The commissioner says the payment
by vouchers has worked satisfactorily
and opposes return to persona: pay
