Civil War Survivors.

The Secretary of War viii have a hard
time replying to the resolution submitted
by Senator Scott. Of West Virginia. call
ing upon the head of the War Deparr-
ment 60 furnish the number Of Federal
troops engaged in the war between the
states who are not on the pension roll"
dc. There are no such records. either IN
the War Department or in the Pension
Office. The best that can be done i'm the
direction. desired is nothing more than
a rough estimate, and it is imaginable
that judging by the yearly appropri-
atoms made for the payment Of pensions.
it would be "a difficult matter TO find any
one entitled to d pension who is not now
receiving one. 1t would be quite as
| difficult to ascertain the people who are
not entitled TO the pensions they are
! receiving.
II is, moreover, a question of just what
| constitutes service i'm the civil war. An
/ example Of the difficulty OF such ascer-
tainment was furnished by the expert
| ence of the War and Navy Departments
in carrying out the law which provided
( for the promotion to the next higher
grade Of retired officers and of actiyo
/ officers, upon retirement. with civil war
| service one case decided favorablv 10
/ the claimant was that Of an officer who
was at the Military Academy as a cadet
/ during the civil war, and who CHANGED
/ to spend a few days on leave in Washing
/ ton, during which time he paid. a visit 10
one of the neighboring forts. This cons1i-
! tuted service" in the civil war, and he
! gained his advancement. A case under The
/ Navy Department was that of q wartime
/ midshipman at the Naval Academy. who
during a practice cruise OF a most peace
full character, CHANGED to be on a vessel
! which for an hour or two sought. bUt
/ did not encounter, q blockade runner.
! This took the midshipman out of the
| class Of youngsters at the Naval Acad-
envy and gave him civil war service. %
tt will be seen, therefore, that civil
war service" is not altogether a question
/ of official record, and that it sometimes
depends upon ingenious Interpretation of
legal expression with personal appIica-
/ ton. The efforts that have hitherto been
made by the War Department to furnish
! Congress with information concerning
survivors of the civil war have resulted
/ in the merest guesswork. When it
comes to ascertaining which of those are
/ not receiving pensions, the task imposed
/ by the Senate resolution assumes mag
uifcent proportions.
