INCREASE OF PENSIONS.
Bill Recently Passed VIII Make n
Difference of Over S2,OOO,OOO to
the GaN menf

NEW YORK, Nav s--A special to TIE
Herald from Washington savs:
From 10000 to 100000 q year is the
amount Commissioner of Pensions Evans
roughly estimates will be added to the
pension expenditures Of the government by
the action Of the house Of representatives
today in passing the bill, which has al
READY passed the senate. amending tho
depe ndant pension law of 1890. The meas
ure known as the Grand Army bill, makes
two important changes in the present law p.
designed to meet objections which PEN
sion attorn eys, backed by the Grand Army,
have raised TO the rulings OF Pension COM
missioner Evans Failing in their efforts
to have the commissioner grant pensions
in excess of what he and the reviewing
officers OF the interior department believe
the law showed, they turned their attention
to congress and the pension commissioner
of the Grand Army drafted the bill which
has now passed both houses substantially
az IL left their hands
The present law provides that honorahlv
discharged soldiers or sailors 81 the civt
war incapacitated for manual labor shall
receive a pension OF not more than 81 A
construed TO entitle pensioner suffering
from two or more ntirmities to receive
only such pension as his most serious in
hrritv would entitle him TO. The new act
providing that the ratings for all OF the
disabilities shall he aggregated, and tina.
the pensaonei shall receive this aggregate,
provided # shall not amount 90 more than
Sl2 a month.
The law Of 1890 provides that widows hav-
ing no means of support except manual
labor shall receive IS a month. This was
construed to mean that where the income
of a widow from sources outside of her
daily labor amounted to more than the
amount OF the pension she should receive
no pension. The new act gives the pension
TO widows having an income of not more
than $3.50 year.

DISCOVERED IN VANCOUVER.

SPECIAL Dispatch to the ost-Intelligencer.
VANCOUVER, b. C, May s-This city
mas been thrown iT>o a ferment of ex-
citepent by the discovery late this aft
ernoon, by party OF girls gathering
ferns at Stanley park. of the horribly
mutilated body OF a man. Their CHASTITY
hnd was concealed in a little rlump of
trees. The head had been severed from
the body. The legs We're broken and lay
IN the moss several feet from the trunk.
No flesh remained on the face or upon
the upper portion of the remains, the
skull having been picked clean by car
rion birds
No doubt rests in the minds
OF the authorities but that MUIR
der has been committed as the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the body and the
beheading OF the remains could have been
accomplished by no animal. No papers
that might lead to the identification Of
the murdered man We're found on the re-
mains except a scrap of the Montreal
Star, dated March 10. which had been
placed inside the hat band. Apparently
the only way by which a clue may be
obtained is through the clothing. and
this has already been partially identified
as belonging to a young man named
Scott. who dropped out of sight mysteri-
ously several months ago, and OF whom
no trace has ever been secured.
The police are working on the theory
that he was probably the murdered man,
but they have no clue to his murderer.
