ceptlun, Washiwoto.t. March 2fl. It Ann been
discovered heit! that one of the most im
portant rulings ever made In the adminis
tration of pension matters lins remained
unpromulgated o far as the public
known for more than nv months past, and
that this decision rereiwn n nillnt? under
which fully $2,000,000 have licen wrorur
fully paid out, m it would now appear.
The facta are so Important as to require a
statement at lenth.
It is leiuiied tlmt on September 28 last,
the assistant secretary inado n pension de-
islon heretofore unpublished which radi
cally changed the practice of the depart
ment as to tlio disposition ot accrued
pensions in certain cases ntid established n
new and important rule as to ro-imuurse-
ments of "expense for laet sickness nnd
burial" under section -1,818, revised stat
utes. Hitherto it litis been uniformly held
that under sections 4,G95,'l)702iind 4,718 of
the lvvisrd statutes minor jiranaciuiuren
of adecased soldier who, at the time of
his death, was u pensioner, or lawful claim
ant for Invalid pension, could hold a pen
sionable status ns minor ol the soldier; so
far as to uroive his accrued pension in CRe
of his death and the death of the parent of
the children theieby construing the words
of the law.
Any perfon entitled to a pension to ap
ply not only to the soldiers but to his wid
ow, his children, dependent tirotticrs nntt
listers, or dcjieiident parents.
In his decision the assistant secretary
says the words of tho act "any pensioner,"
or "any person entitled to a tiension,"
meant the same character or class of per
sons persons who had Incurred disabili
ties in the military service, the only ttitter
nco beina that the first words quoted ap
ply to a person to whom a pension has al
irady been granted while the words Bee
ondly quoted apply to the same sort of
persons, to whom a pension has not been
granted, but who, under the law is en
titled to a pension, having an application
.herefore lending, based uion a wound,
ujury or disease which under the
onditions and limitation of sections
1,002 and 4,603, would have entitled fMi
to an Individual pension, had he been
disabled. And it is obvious that afou'
quoted words "any pensions," nnd "any
person entitled to a pension, having an ap
plication therefor pending," refer exclu
sively to a tierson of masculine gender as
the accrued pension for the disposal ot
which the section provides must be the ac
crued pension that shall result from "the
death" o "such a person" as may leave n
widow, who shnll 1 entitled to his accrued
pension, or "if there is no widow," may
leave a child or children under 10 years of
ase, who, by reason of tho widow's death,
shall take the accrued pension that would
otherwise go to the widow during her
widowhood.
Tho assistant secretary holds that tho
accrued pension cannot be lawfully paid to
grandchildren. As to reimbursement for
"last sickness nnd burial" the assistant
Secretary concludes that while only tlio
widow or minor child of tho deceased
soldier can take the accrued pension, the
only person for whom the oxpens.es of the
last sickness and burial can be allowed is
the soldier himself.
From tho date of and under tho authority
of un opinion by Solicitor General Phillips,
rendered AugustlO. 1070, until now, the last
sickness and burial expenses have lxin al
lowed in nil cases where tho deceased was
in impecunious pensioner, or entitled to a
pension, whether a soldier, minor children,
grandchildren or dejiendent parents. It is
stated that fully Sa,000,000 have been paid
to claimants under tho Phillips opinion as
to re-imbursements for the last sii kness
Biid burial expenses, for which section 4,
718 of the revised statutes did not provide.

NewYobk, March 25. Col. Elliott Fitch
Shepard, editor of the Mall and Exress,
died suddenly late yesterday afternoon, at
his home No. 2 West Fifty-Second street.
His death followed the administration of
ether by Dr. Charles McUurny and the
family physician, Dr. J. W. McLnuo, who
were about to make an examination to as
certain whether the colonel's suspicions
that he was suffering fiom stone in the
bladder was correct. Colonel shepaid had
been in good health, but nearly a mouth ago
ho noticed symptoms that led him to 1h-
llove that he was afflicted with stone in the
bladder. He let It go and did not consult a
physician until n week ago, when he went to
Dr. Me Lane and told him of his symptoms.
The doctor confirmed them and advised
him to at least submit to an examination,
and to undergo an operutlon should It lie
iteeintu necessary. The colonel agreed to
tills nnd yesterday was decided on for the
examination. Lip to yesterday morning
Colonel Shephanl hat! attended to his busi
ness in the usual way. lie was at his of-
liee every day No one there knew of the
contemplated operation when he went home
Thursday evening. He mi r.dy told his man
ager, A. B. DeFreyethat he probably would
not lie down on Friday, but that he would
tie there this afternoon.
