AS TO PENSION APPEALS.
ASSISTANT SFi ni'TAHV t ssFV ISS1LS HIS LAST
ASNtAt. uri-orcr.
The annual report of Gen Cyrus Hussey,
the assistant sei retnty of the interior, has
been received by Secretary Noble. It deals
xclusively with the work of the board of
pension appsals, of which the assistant secre
tary has direct charge, and with the pur
chase of Indian supplies at the government
warehouse in New York. The report shows
that on July 1, IM'l, there was 5,0:10 appeal-
cd'pension cases on Hie with the board, and
that this number on June 30, 18112, had bent)
reduced to 4,340.
There were 4. 2 V appeals filed during the
year, of the 4,039 cases at ted upon during
the year the decision of the commistioner
was sustained In 3,81.1. Action was reversed
in 404 cases, 2I1 were dismissed and 4IKI
ctocs were reconsidered by Iho commissioner
pending appeal.
He recommends that congress be request
ed to enact a law that shall expressly author-
Ixe the department lo treat all improper, II
legal and excessive payments of pension,
whe:her caused by fraud or by mistake, as
prepayments, to be charged against the cur
rent pension, with a view to readjusting or
equalizing current pension payments w ithin
the discretion of the secretary.
In concluding his report (General Iliisse
says: "I am graiitied to he able to say that
in compliance with the provision of the
various (tension laws, on June 30. 18!)?,
there were borne on the pension rolls the
names of 8.Hi.l)87 iensioners, 170,028 more
pensioners than were curried on the same
lolls at the end of the preceding fiscal year
and 4.17,0 V) more than were on the roll
June 30, 1887."
General Hussy calls attention In the fact
that the appropriation bill for the Indian
service is usually passed so late in the year
that it seems iniossible to let contracts for
supplies in time for delivery before winter
lets in, ana mis, especially as to uiiinKets
and winter clothing, bus caused much suf
fering. He recommends that the appro
priation for these supplies be made on
year ahead.

District Attorney llurleigli of Pittsburg,
denies a statement made by Attorney Argo,
one of the Western lawyers defending the
Homestead strikers, that, after the failure
of conviction in the Critchlow case, there
will be no further trials of the other Indict
ed strikers. Thedisirict-altomey said that
was a foolish mterance. It would not be
lawful to nulla prosse any of the cases, nnd
be meant to try all of those uguinst whom
true bill bail been found.
The first one that will come up now I
that of "Jack" Clifford, who is accused of
the same murder for which Critcblow was
tried, that of Tutu C. Connors, the Pinker
Ion. This case will not come up until pos
illy the middle ot the coming term of
court, it being the custom of disposing of the
petty cases II est.
Attorney Erwin. for this reason, started
Tor his borne on Saturday evening. He will
be hack, however, in time to assist in the de
fense of Clifford.
There will be no attempt lo prove an abl

was a saving of upwards of $11, noil, mi of
Interest, out of which a surplus was realized
notwithstanding the cu ting down of tu
