OLD PENSIONERS
PASSING AWAY
Estimates Indicate that Muster Roll

Expense for Next Year Is Put at
$136,soo,ooo, a Big Re.

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Oct. 24.-Uncle Sam s
enormous pension roll will be reduced
so per cent during the next five or
six years. according to an official of
the pension bureau.
AS an indication that there is con-
siderable basis for this prediction the
commissioner of pensions in his esti-
mates for next year has asked for only
$136. 100000, which is about $780,
600 less than the appropriation for
the current year. The commissi oner
Of pensions has estimated that in the
year 1905 at least $4,000 old soldiers
would be lost to the roll by death and
other causes. He adds that because
of the comparatively small number of
new claims before the bureau he does
not believe the payments will be as
large as in the past.
Each year, naturally, there is a big
falling off in payments and during the
next five or six years the roll will
diminish fast. The largest pension
payments in one year amounted ap-
proxi1nately to $165, 100000, and for
the fiscal year ending 1902 the dis
bursements were $13S,O0O,0OO.
A reduction in the clerical force of
the pension office is anticipated be-
cause Of the diminution in the amount
of work. The pension office now has
more clerks than are necessary and
the commissioner has adopted a pol
icy of leaving vacancies untitled.
