Stratford Hotel, Philadelphia, to discuss
the United States Senatorial situation in
This Sac. The discussion was principal

Dryden for reelection. 1t is well known
that while the New Jersey Legislature
will be Republican on Joint ballot by
small @n1aJ6rftyA and that the Senator's
hope of a reelection hangs by slender
thread, as number of members, some Of
them powerful, are unalteraDiy opposed
to his re-eleetion. Governor Stokes mas

PENSION ROLL DECREASING
THE NET DECREASE DURING
FAST FISCAL YEAR 12,+7o.
Total Payment Of Pensions on AZ.
count Of Civil War Over Three
and Quarter Billion.

Washington--The net decrease In
the pension roll Of the United
States for the fiscal year ending
June 80 last amounted to 12,47O, the
largest decrease eve known in tho
history of the country. These facts
are brought out in the annual report
OF Commissioner of Pensions Warner,
which has Just been completed. In
the report the commissioner expresses
the opinion that there will be a still
more marked decrease during the
present year.
Under the Million Mark.
During the year there were added
to the roll 1860 new pensioners and
LAOS reservations and renewals, max.
ing a total addition of 34,794. The total
number of pensioners on the roll dur
ing the year was 1,O33,415. The num-
Der of pensioners dropped from the
roll during the year was 47,444, leav-
ing the number Of pensioners June
80, 1906, 9S5,971. The maximum OF
pensioners in the history OF the bu.
Icdu WdS edCIcu JAN. o., AoVo, WHCu
1t was 1.OO4, 1SG.
Causes Of the Decrease.
Death was the principal cause Of
the decrease of the last year, the
number of names dropped on that
account being 43,3OO. or these 80. 0
were those of survivors of the civil
war, leaving GGG, ASS survivors Of that
war still ON the roll. There are still
-four pensioners on account of the rev.
dictionary war, a widow and the other
3 daughters; ESQ, all widows, and H..
count of the war with Spain. and H..
i72 on recount of the Mexican war.
OF the Mexican war pensions, 1894
are to survivors.
The commissioners calls attention
to the fact that while there has been
a material decrease in the number
Of pensioners, the annual value of
the roll Is nearly as large as it was
last year. This arises from the fact
that the ratings of many invalid pen
sions are constantly increasing. tho
average increase last year being $1.22.
Billions for Pensions.
The report shows that in the en-.
tire history Of the country the total
expenditure on account of pensions
has been $3.459, sGO,31l. OF which
only $9G,445,444 had been paid out
prior to the beginning of the civil
war. or the total 1929. 1876. 3O6 was
