Officially Stated That the Indian Mints
Will Not tie Opened to silver.
LONDON, March 3l.-The house of
commons was occupied tor some time
during the day i'll a debate on Indian
currency. Lord George Hamilton, sec.
rotary of state for India, admitted that
it would be impossible to reopen the
minis without some International ar.
rangement, which at present seems
quite out of the question. He pointed
out that nobody had blamed the gov.
eminent for declining the American
and French invitations to reopen the
minis.
AS matters now stood he believed an
international bimetallic agreement i'm.
possible. because France c. aid not
accept a less ratio than 1915 to /, which
could not be secured.
To his view it seemed impossible that
any nation, by its own unaided efforts,
could rehabilitate silver. America had
made a great effort, but had not sue.
ceeded. He contended that the policy
introduced in India in 1893 mad fully
justified itself and that to ATTEMPT to
reverse it now would be lunacy.

that caused a great deal Of excitement

PENSION FIGURES.

secretary Bliss Makes an Interesting
Statement on the General Subject.
WASHINGTON, March 3l.-In sending
to congress a deficiency estimate Of
SS,U7O, o92 for pensions for this year,
Secretary Bliss makes an interesting
statement On the general subject Of
pensions up to date. Secretary Bliss
says:
son July l. 1897, there was available
sl4o. 900 900 for the payment of army
and navy pensions; 81, ZOO, 900 Of this
amount was set apart for navy pen.
sions. The total number Of pensioners
on the roll June 80, 1897, was go, Ola,
while on February 2S, 1898, there were
on the rolls a net increase OF IL, 399.
Between the latter dates, there were
dlsbursed for payment Of army pen.
sions s95,3,O,S7 as, leaving the sum
OF S4O,62J, l21.54 tor the payment OF
pensions TO the end Of the present fiscal
year. The commissioner Of pensions
estimates that SIS, 100, 900 will be re-
CURED for the payment Of pensions
during the remaining four months Of
the fiscal year, mCie than $1,000, 900 III
excess Of the unexpended appropriation.
The commissioner has recently ex.
pressed to me an opinion as to the fu-
ture course OF pension payments at
variance with his views, as stated in
the annual report, which was to the eff.
feet that after the close of the cur.
rent year, payments would rapidly
decline. 1t is now his Opin.
ion that in view Of the increasing
applications for original pensions and
Tor increase OF pensions there will be
an increase in the sum required for the
payment Of the army and navy PEN
sions for some time to come. In this
connection the appended table showing
the number Of pensioners on the roll
and the value of roll annually since
1878 is significant. From this it appears
that the pension roll has substantially
doubled since q quarter Of century after
the close Of the war. In 1890, rs years
after the val closed, the number of
pensioners on the roll was 537, 944. At
the close of the current fiscal year, the
number on the roll will approximate
996, 600, an increase of nearly 80 per
cent since 1890. In that time the value
Of the roll has increased from $72, O52, !.
l43. 40 in 1890. to approximately $780,
OO0, 900 in the present fiscal year.
The roll is now larger than at any
former time, Notwithstanding that 81
years have elapsed since the cessation
of hostilities. 1t contained 800 more
pensioners in 1897 than it did in 1896,
and approximately 10000 more in 1898
than III 1897, and the value Of the roll
has also increased in the same period.

to court costs and other items that do
