Out of 4,941 cases in which action has
been taken by the department in appeals
from the action of the bureau the bureau
was reversed in 81, and many of these
were cases in which the adverse action had
been taken before April, 1897
There are now 1,361 medical boards of
three surgeons each, 21S single surgeons
and ITO specialists for examining claimants
for original pension and for increase of
pension.
Two hundred and two of these boards
were placed in the classified service in May,
1896 In May. 1899. at the suggestion of the
civil service commission, these surgeons
were withdrawn from the classified service
Eleven hundred and thirty-seven claims
have been filed under the provisions of the
act of March 8, 1899, which provides that
one-half of the soldiers pension shall be
paid to his wife or minor children in case
of abandonment and other specified condi-
lions.
This law will afford considerable relief to
a very deserving class of people.
The commissioner expresses his satisfac-
ton with the results for the past year. No
new rules of evidence have been introduced
in the adjudication of claims, but the work
has been accomplished under prescribed
rules OF many years standing.
In his conclusion the commissioner states
that the pension laws are generous; that
their Interpretation by the department has
always been to liberalize, and their admin
fStration by the bureau officials has been
and is now far more liberal than the gen.
erouS laWS-alwayS giving the benefit Of the
doubt in favor of the soldier.

to do so with any likelihood Of favorable

The total number of pieces of mail hand
led in the mail division of the bureau for
the year was 5773,512.
The army and navy survivors division
added to the list of survivors of the civil
war the names and addresses Of ITS, gOd
claimants and others of 223. 47O comrades.
On June 30. 1898, there were GO, O59
claims pending before the bureau.
The number Of claims of all classes pend
ing on June 80, 1899, Is ATT $50 a decrease
for the year of 157 $50 claims
The number of claimants of all classes.
Including those based upon service in the
war with Spain. who have not received any
pension, is 1854. Excluding army nurses
and soldiers of the war with Spain there
are only 69.48S soldier claimants who have
not yet been pensioned.
OF the number Of pending claims 3O5 O42
are claims in which pension has heretofore
been granted, and in which an additional
allowance or an increase Of rate is claimed.
The commissioner has given the right Of
way to original claims in which no pension
I as ever been allowed deeming it just and
proper that such claims should have the
preference.
Spanish War Pension Claims.
The number of claims based upon service
in the war with Spain filed during the year
was 1850, and during the same period 1903
claims of this class were allowed.
Since April l, 1897, the commissioner has
renstated in the bureau 157 and in the
agencies twenty-three eX-Union soldiers or
sailors. n aking $50 in ALL During the same
period there have been promoted in the bu-
reau 2S7 and in the different agencies TWEEN
ty-nine ex-Union soldiers or sailors
The Law which provides that preference
shall be given to ex-Union soldiers and
sailors in employment has been strictly OBJ
served in the bureau.
Considerable progress has been made in
bringing up the arrears.Of work in the bu-
reau. The work on original claims is prac-
tically current, and the work of ordering
medical examinations in increase claims is
being pushed, SO that very little time now
elapses between dates of filing and order
ing the medical examinations in this class
of cases.
The commissioner reports the work in far
better condition than at any time since
April. 1897. and it is believed that further
progress will be attained by the systems
instituted in the different divisions.
The commissioner calls attention to the
fact that order 225 issued June g. 1893,
which provided for a readjustment of rates
OF pension previously granted under the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-08-31

operations Of order No. 1874. is still in force.
but he states that no revision of rates un-
der said order has been made under his adj
ministration.
Over 100000 Claims Rejected.
During the year 1O7919 claims of all
classes were rejected in the bureau A
careful analysis of the causes of rejection
of so many claims is given. showing that
large percentage of reflections occur In
claims for increase, new disabilities and
other claims, in which additional allowance
of some kind is claimed.
A full and detailed explanation as to the
causes of delay in the adjudication of
claims is presented from which it appears
that in nearly every case of unusual delay
the fault lies with claimants or their at
torneys and not with the bureau.
In order that the present complex system
Ct pensioning may be simplified, and to Sc
cure a more uniform practice in the future,
the appointment of commission on the re-
vision of the le.ws, rules and regulations is
recommended.
Reference is made to the loose manner
in which guardians of pensioners execute
their trust, and the commissioner suggests
that regulations be adopted holding guar
dams to a. strict accountability in order
that the pension money may he used for
the benefit of the pensioner. Payments are
now made to about 1900 guardians of
minor children and insane pensioners and
in many instances these guardians make
no report ~ tHelT trusts, ana the pension
lis often practically swallowed up in bills
of expenses costs and fees.
Legislation is suggested extending the
benefits of the act Of June q, 1890, to per-
sons who served in the confederate army
and afterWard voluntarily enlisted in the
Union army or navy prior to January /,
1856. and were honorably discharged.
The9re-enac tment Of the law requiring BIZ
ennial examinations of pensioners who have
been recently discharged from the service
is res commended, there being no way in
which the recovery Of a pensioner from the
pensfoned causes can be determined
The repeal Is urged of the act Of June Z,
1883, which removed all limitations as to
date of filing claims by widows Legislation
Is asked for to the end that no pension
shall be granted to date prior to the date
Of fling the application.
The act of June 7, 1885, holds out induce
ments and offers a premium to the vicious
to file fraudulent claims carrying large
sums as arrearages. 1t Is a bad law that
encourages crime, and the government has
but little opportunity to disprove careful
ly prepared fraudulent claim under this
law.
StOppage of Pensions.
Complaints have been made against the
bureau for the stoppage Of the pensions of
those who enlisted or accepted commissions
in the war with Spain. These pensions
ceased by operation Of law, and not by any
order or instructions from the bureau.
Up to this date the number of re-enlist-
ments of pensioners for service in the war
with Spain has been reported as thirteen

the of 1912. He is pinety-nine years
of age, and he served with the troops from
New York
The number of widows on the rolls based
on service of their husbands in the war of
1912, is 199S.
Sixteen hundred and fifty-six surviving
soldiers and 1899 widows are pensioned
based upon service in the Indian wars.

On June 80, 1898 the total number of
pensioners was 93.714; on June 80, 1899,
the number was 1,5i9; the decrease was
2195.
During the year there We're added to the

431s names We're dropped, of which num-
Der 34345 were dropped by reason of death.

KNIGHTS RIDE FOR HONORS,
Tournament at Glen Sligo Park Yes
terday Afternoon.

A tournament was ridden yesterday
afternoon at Glen Sligo Park, which was
marked by an accident, giving to the tour
nament, in slight degree, the character of
those of the middle ages, when man risked
life and limb for honors. The contestants
lined up in drizzling rain on a wet and
slippery track, and in the outstart, during
the first or trial ride, the knight of Bur-
louisville. Clarence Beall, met with an &C.
cident which will prevent his riding at
tournaments during the remainder Of this
season. The girth of bis saddle broke
while his horse was running at full speed
throwing him to the ground and seriously
injuring his right arm.
