Russ,anizing the Dakotas.

ABERDEEN, s. D., March 25.-The Mil
waukee depot at Aberdeen begins to
look like old times. Every evening the
train from the south banls IN passen-
ger Car full of immigrants direct from
Russia. The men with their yellow
baggy skin coats with fur inside and the
womsn with shHwls thrown over their
heads, all carrying huge bundles and
dragging colonies OF little children make
a picturesque sight.
Those who are ID correspondence with
the old country say that the Influx of
new Immigrants FROM southern Russia
this spring will be tremendous. Whole
eighborhoods are packing up ready to
move. The Russian settlers Who came
to Mcpherson comfy number of years
ago have prospered and are well satisfied
with their new homes Consequently
they are writing back to their old homes
urging their relatives to come out quick,
before the cheap lands are all gone.
Many well-to.do people in the Black Sea
country who have been sceptical as to
the advantages of Dakota are now con-
vinced and are selling their lands and
bringing the ready cash to re-invest here.

pensions to the end of the present nscaa
year. The commissioner of pensions
estimates that e48. 700, 900 will be re-
quired for the payment Of pensions
during the remaining four months Of
the fiscal year, more than $4,000, 900 in
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
rent year, payments would rapidly
decline. 1t is now his opin.
ion that in view of the increasing
applications for original pensions and
for 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 quarter Of century after
the close of the war. In 1890, rs years
after the war 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, 900, an increase of nearly 80 per
cent since 1890. In that time the value
of the roll has increased from $72,052,.
l43.49 in 1890, to approximately $780,
100000 in the present fiscal year.
The roll is now larger than at any
former time, Notwithstanding that 80
years have elapsed since the cessation
of hostilities. It contained $500 more
pensioners in 1897 than it did in 1896.
and approximately 10000 more in 1898
than in 1897, and the value Of the roll
has also increased in the same period.

''The president" said Mr.. Porter.

will ask congress to do one Of two
things-either take the question and
settle it in its own way, or leave the

Congress blames him for not acting
