PENSION MONEY SHORT.
There May Be Deficiency of About
Seven Millions This Yenr.

WASHINGTON, Sept I.-Commissioner
Evans, of the Pension Bureau, said to-day
that he thought it would be necessary this
year to ask Congress for a deficiency APP
preparation on account of PENSIONS He said
Il estimate that the total payments for
the yeal will not exceed $147, 500, 600 and the
appropriation for the year is Sal 1853. $50 If
there should be an unexpected falling off
in the revenues, the pension payments
might be curtailed towards the end of the
year, although l do not think that it is at
all likely
The increase in pension payment, he said
would be due chiefly to the fact that there
are about 100000 old claims pending which
it is the intention of the bureau to adiudi-
cate as rapidly possible. The claims al
lowed probably would call for something
like $5,0c000O. There also had been a remark
able increase in the number of new pension
applications and these would increase ex-
penditures largely. In answer to sugges-
ton that there might be a deficit in the
treasury at the end of the fiscal year the
commissioner said that he had examined
into the matter somewhat and was of opin-
ion that there would be a sufficient increase
in revenues before the year was over to
prevent a deficit
