PENSION DEFICIENCY IN PROSPECT
over fO,oOo,oo0 Probably Needed to Make
the Account I,pIance

Washington, Sept. 1s-Commissioner
Evans. Of the pension bureau, said yes
terday thathe thought it wought be nee
essary this year to ask congress for a
deficiency appropriation on account of
pensions. He said: Il estimate tha.
the total payments for the year viii
exceed $14I 1900, 600. and the appropria-
ton for the year is sl41, ,o63, SS0 If ther,
should be an unexpected falling off in
the revenues the pension payments
might be curtailed toward the end of
the year, although L do not think that
this rs at all likely"
The increased pension payments. he
sad, would be due chiefly to the fact
that there are about 200,O goo old claims
pending which it is the intention of the
bureau to aGjudicate as rapidly as pos
sible. The claims allowed probably
would call for something like. s., GOO, Geo.
There also had been a remarkable in
crease In the number OF new pension an
plications and these would increase ex-
penditurcs largely.

declaration That Johnny EulI Has Gone
Further Than Treaty Rcnuirements.

Chamberlain contends that Great
Britain has taken adequate measures
much more complete in some dfrec-
tons than those adopted by the United
States-for securing the enforcement of
the Paris regulations. and says It was
never intended by the tribunal Of arbi-
tration that United States officers should
be given the power of supervising and
controlling the action Of British naval
and customs officers with regard to the
inspection of skins. He contends that
the British government has even ex-
ceeded the limits of its strict OBLIGATIONS
as far as was possible without injury
to the interests of those it was bound to
protect. The government, he continues.
has not omitted to enact legislation nee
essary to secure the conviction of the
guilty; but it has refused to pass leris-
lation certain to ernbarrrass and ini,.re
the innocent. 1t has refused to seek
legislation authorizing the inspection of
skins because it does not believe such
inspection would serve any useful mr.
pose.
