PENSION RAID IN SIGHT.
Will Add zoe, 900 Names and Will Take
$4,000. 600 10 Paw Ii.

Washington. Dec. 13.-The pension
roll of the nation now aggregating
nearly 900 900 names. with year
" expenditure in round numbers OF
$40. 900. 900. is to be increased.
Pending legislation which is prac
tically sure of pa ssing through both
houses will add to the roll at least
| $500. 900 names, not counting pen
sionerS of the American-Hispano
war and OF the conquest OF the Phil
ioines. and will swell the enormous
yearly total paid for pensions at
least So. 900. 900
Senator CullOm has presented one
bill which. if enacted. will alone add
117.241 names to tie roll. and in
crease the first years cost at least
$40. 600. 900. The Cullom bill seeks
to give all deserters from the union
armv-and there were 111.241 of
them-a pensiOnable status so that
they may be placed on the pension
list.
Representative LentZ Of Ohio has
a bill that is even more startling in
its comprehensive sweep than the
measure advocated by Senator Gull
lon. He seeks to give Il perdiem ser
vice pension TO all officers and men
OF the union army during the civil
war. Expert statisticians have fig
ured that the Lentz bill. If it should
pass. would add at least 500. 900
names to the roll and increase the
cost of pensions by $4,000. 600
year.
1t is hardly probable that this
measure will pass. 1t is II sample,
however, OF the bills intended as
treasury raiders.
And now comes the senate commit
tee on pensions. senator Gallin@er
OF New Hampshire, with the PROPOSE
ton to create a non-partisan com
mission to revise and codify the pen
sion laws with a view to making
them less difficult and free from ex-
listing perpleXities
This non-partisan commission. if
will proceed to give a
penslonable status to many persons
who are not now entitled to pen
sion.
Thus far thousands of private pen
sion bills have been introduced. Gen
eral legislation is also proposed which
will swell the roll. The flood tide OF
the army OF pensioners OF the civil
war has not vet been reached.

ELECTRICITY ADOPTED.

At the meeting of directors of the
Rapid Transit Company held yester-
day evening the overhead trolley sys-
TEN of propulsion was adopted. This
means that electricity and not COM
pressed air will be used. If compress
ed air should prove a greater success
than electricity, through expert
ments now under way at New York,
that plan may be resorted to in few
years.
Orders for material will likely be
ready for Fridays mail. The com
pany will now proceed to the acquisi-
ton of such lands as may be required
for power and car houses. etc.
