PENSION DECISION THE SECRETARY oF THE OR REVERSES RAUM INTERI Expects to Cut Dawn Penddons More Than Twenty Millions, Law Must he Conformed To, Probably the most sion decison ever sent of the secretary of the commissioner of on May 28. It is believed high in authority in the pension reau that it will reduce the payment of pensions under the act of June 27, 1890, between $15,000,000 and $20.000.- 000. It involves the repeal of an order passed by General Raum and approved by Assistant Secretary Bussey, return to the language of t requiring the disability, not origin, to be such as to prevent the ap- plicant from earning a support by manual labor, Secretary Hoke Smith has been con- sidering the principles involved this dicision for several weeks, important did he deem it that it was called to his attention pension board of appeals, he submitted the questions involved to Attorney General Olney and to Judge Lochren, the commissioner of pensions, both of whom concurred in the of the decision.

It was given by your bureau, ‘slightest deafness,’ because under an entirely different act applicable to disabilities of service alone, $156 was awarded the lowest rating for “slight deafness," Becond—""The inability of the appli cant to perform manual labor was not taken into consideration.” Yet the act of 1890, under which the applicant sought and was allowed a pension, made inability of the applicant to per- yy fhe New York Coniral Did 18 York Cen- | trul railroad has best considering the | plan of running a train from New | For sous time the Now beat the Pennsylvania Limited, Ww whic shy makes the distance in 21 hours, The trial trip was made Sunday and the train reachel the Windy City | in 19 hors and 57 minutes from New York.
