THE PENSION ROLL.
tits Larger Now Than at Any Pre-.
yfoas Period Since The war

Washington, March 3O.--In sending
TO Congress deficiency estimate of
ss.o7o.s72 for pensions for this vear.
Secretary Bliss makes an interesting
statement on the general subject OF
pensions Up TO date Secretary Dliss
says:
"on the 1st OF July, 1897. there was
available $40. 900, 600 for the payment
OF army and navy pensions; "a, 600. 600
OF this amount was set apart for navy
pensions. leaving sis6, 900, 600 for paw
ment of army pensions The total
number of pensioners on the roll June
80. 1897. was oT6.0Iz. while on the 2sth
dsy OF February, 1903. there wero oss.-
olS ON the roll, net increase of fs. 500
between the latter dates there was dis
bursed for the payment of army pen
sions s95. $40. s72.4o. leaving the sum
$40, o29, 1877 81 for the payment OF PEN
sions to the end of the present fiscal
year The commissioner of pensions
| estimates that s4s. 7o0, 900 will be re-
quired for the payment of pensions
during the remaining four months Of
the hscal year. more than eS, 600. 600 In
excess of the unexpcnded appropriation.
10 view OF the increasing applications
for original pensions and for the in
crease of pensIons there will be an In
creHse ia the sum rsqaired for the pay
ueat Of the army aud navy pensions
for sone time TO come. II appears
that the pepsion roll has substantially
doubled since a quarter Of cenfuAry
after the close of the war. In 1890. Is
years after the war closed, the number
OF pensioners On the roll was 537. o4x.
At the close Of the current fiscal year
the number on the roll will approx.
mate 100000 an increase Of nearly 90
per cent. since 1890 Ia that time the
yslue Of the roll has increased from
s72.s7S,iSS.49 In 1890 to approximately
sls2.o0o. 600 in the present hscaI year.
The roll Is now larger than at any
former time, notwithstanding that 80
years have elapsed since the cessation
Of hostilities. II costained about 5. 500
more pensioners In 1897 than IL did In
1898. and approximately 10000 more
10 1928 than IL did ia 1897. and the
value Of the roll has also increased In
tho same period"
