The annual rcport.ror tht flscal year 1W8 0
of the commissoner of pensions has been
submitted to the secretary of the interior.
The following summary of tho report will
show the more lmortant details of the work
of the bureau of jenslons. There were at
tho t hum of the year 0,720 pensioners.
There were added to the rolls during the
year tho names of 61,921 pensioners, and
the names of 1,7") I, whose pensions have
been previously droppel, were restored to the
rolls, making an aggregate of 53,075 pension
ers added during t he year. Then 10,507 pen
sioners wero dropped from the rolls for vari
ous causes, leaving not increase to the roll
of 37,DS names.
The average annual value of each pension
er ut the closo of tho year Is shown to have
been tPll 18. The aggregate annual value
of pensions is t4,2l.' 252 30. The amotin'
paid for iensjons during the year was tV

the agents for ull purposes wus $sO,131,is8 44,

In the aggregate 1,'JH.l id pension claims
have been tile I since lHil, and that in the

amount disbursed on account of pensions
since lSdl has been II.O'iJ.'Jli, I 17. The
issue of certificates during tho yeir shows
grand total of 1 l',2!M. Of this number 51,
!21 were original certificates, i he report
shows that at tint close of the year there
were pi::nlin an I utia'Iowed t"!t,0;tJ claims
'f nil clus es.
Coniinissioucr Tanner recommends tho
establishment of additional agencies, and
recommends that Congress be uske l to ex
tend tho benefit of ull Miisinli laws, as to
rates to ull pensioners whose pensions huve
been grunted by special nets pussed subs
Cjticul to sai l (I.iIl und that the benefit ol
Iftibion be grantisl to tho widows of soldiert
who died from causes originating iu service
prior to March 5, I.mII, during the time oi
peuco. The report culls utteulioii to certain
Irregularities in rates of pensions. The com
mission asks attention to the fact that the
act of August 7, IsSJ, which terminates the
M'iisonofa widow on account of her im
morality makes no provision for continuing
the pension to the minor children of the sol
dier when the widow's tension is termi
nated. He asks that congress be requested
to correct this palpable Injustice.
A large pnrt of tho reort is taken up with
the presentation of further recommendations
along the line of increasing the rates.
Tho commissioner favors granting en
sums to all soldiers who aro disabled. He
says: "As the war period recedes from us,
and age and its attendant infirmities afllict
the veteran, who served his country faith
fuliy und well a quarter of u century ago,
it is a very serious qtiostion whether the
government does him justice in limiting
tho application of the jeiision laws
to those disabilities only which were
contracted In the service and in tho line of
duty. I euruestly recommend that a cnslon
bo granted to every honorably discharged
soldier and sailor w ho Is now, or may here
after become disabled, without regard to
whether such disability is chargeable to the
service of tho United States or has been con
tracted since discharged therefrom." The
Commissioner also favors a pension for
army nurses, and makes un curuest uppeul
iu their behalf.
The commissioner recommends tnat when
ever uu invalid pensioner dies the usual en
sion be granted to bis widow; or, if he leuvis
no w idow, then to his minor children, without
regard to whether or not his death wus duo
to any cause incident to tho service and lino
of duty. Ho asks attention ulso to what he
believes to be a manifestly Insulllcicut sum,
12 per month, grunted by tho act of July 25,
INK), to widows for the euro und supHirt of
such of tho minor children of thuir deceased
husband as are under sixteen years of uge.

A big iva! estn'e sensation is developing
ii Victoria, II. C.,.
Many years ago, bvk iu the fifties, when
tha gold ! itcu cut wus iittiacting thotit
auds to the Province, among others came
Douglas Mac lavish to seek his fortune.
MucTavish settled down iu Victoria and
bought real estate in w hat is now the heart
of tho city. Ho married an Indian woman,
by whom ho had one child, ugirl, McTuvih
and his wife both died a few years later, and
tho little girl wus left to the cure ofstrungers.
She grew to womanhood, murrie 1 and has
been living there ever since, totally uncon
scious that her father had left anything ol
value behind him.
A short time ago a man who had been a
friend of MacTuvlsh in the old gold days,
and who knew MucTavish had owned Con
siderable projierty, began to look the matter
up. Mac lav lab's will was discovered in an
old sufe of the Catholic Itisuop, where it had
lain for years. The will bequeathed to his
infant daughter projerty in tho city now
valued ut nearly half million dol
lars. Tho records, upon search
being made. show that tho
womun Is the rightful owner of this large
projK-rty. Itiskuidthat the Hudson Day
Company, apparently losing sight of the
fact that the property hud beeu sold to Mc-
Tavish, has been selling it again, and now
some of the finest business ediiices in thai
city aro erected upon property to which the
owners have no title. A long und bitterly
contested law suit will bo the result.
