THE NUMBER OF PENSION NOW ON THE ROLLS, AND THE AMOUNT PAID 01 Col. W. W.

Commissioner Annual in that war.’ During the year there was added to the ‘roll 38,162 “new "pensioners and 796 wero resto! 20,997 pensioners, were dropped, making’ a ’ net Increase to the number of’ pensioners of 17,061.‘ The aggre- gate annual value of all pensions 1s $32,245,192.43, ain Increase over last year of $3,901,000.81.. Of the $40,061,009.23 paid for pensions during the year, the larger’ proportion was used in paying the arrears, thus swelling the payments much beyond the ant nual value. Of the 244,505 claims for arrears Te- maining incomplete in the office, the report states Unat In 204,209 cases, the delay is occasioned by the claimants “In failing to furnish the proper evi- lence, DEFECTS IN THE PRESENT LAWS. The commissioner renews his recommendation of last year in relation to legislation for remedying defects in the present laws, He recommends that section 4693 of the Revised Statutes be amended so as to include scouts, and suggests that the grading of pensions be remodeled on the basis of disability rather than rank. These changes in the laws, the commissioner thinks, could be best effected by a commission. The report ae i amendment to the Jaws which will not make it necessary for a mother to show that a son contributed to her sup- pore in order to receive a pension on his account. It is also suggested that the clause which places old war Claims within the three-year limitation be amended so that these cases shall have their date of commencement at the time of filing the applica- tion, rather than at that of the filing of the last piece of evidence. The commissioner recommends the removal of the disabilities of naval ex-confed- erates. THE CLERICAL FORCE OF THE BUREAU. In regard to the accommodations of the clerical force of the bureau, the report states that the office has 1,507 employes, and these, except 240 special examiners in the field, are located in this city, as follows: In the building corner 12th street and the avenue, 68; in the houses annexed on 12th street, 73; In the house 508 11th street, in the building corner of 13th street and the avenue and its annex, 528. ‘The floor space allowed to each person is 20 square feet. He reconimends an epproouation of Ste for improving the ventilation of these build- 3. . PENSIONERS OF THE FUTURE. Inregard to the pension business in the future, the commissioner finds that these 962,601 living soldiers and saflors who have not applied for a pen- sion, and 72,340 pensionable relatives, while all o} the former insy not apply for Pension, he thinks that all of the latter probably wi INCREASE OF SALARIES RECOMMENDED. ‘The report suggests that the salary of the chief of the review board, the chief of the special examina- tion division, the chief of the eastern, middle, southern, western and old war and navy divistons, be each advanced. to §2,500, and that of their assis- ea! to $2,000, and that of chiefs of other divisions PROGRESS OF THE WORK. ‘The commissioner states that on July 15, 1683, the office was practically up with current work. That is to say, ever y case involving arrears filed prior to Tuly 1st, 1880, and with few exceptions all flea sub- sequent to July 1st, 1880, and not involving arrears, had been examined. ‘Those ready for settlemen: had been settled. ‘Twose awaiting proper calls for evidence were attended to, and it was found that nothing further could be done ip 285,000 claims out, of a total of 244,000 pending, He thinks that the force may be considerably redticed July 1st, 1814. ‘The amount required for the nt of pensioners during the next two years will depend upon their aitirence in furnishing evidence. Of the 148,000 claims the report estimates that sixty per cent will eventually be allowed. ‘The Dunn-Murphy Monte Case. JUDGE WYLIE CHARGES THE JURY.

The evidence tas re them on this THE Dis TS VOYAGE OF THE PROTRUS—AI- BAD CONDUCT OF THE CREW, The chief signal ofiver has submitted to the Secretary of War Lieut, Garlington’s report of the Greely relief expedition, with some additional re- marks of hisown. Lieut. Garlington in his report gives a detatied account of the voyage of the Pro- teus. On the 24of July the Proteus entered Pandora harbor. The weather was wasn, and no fee could be seen from the “crow’s nest,” and Lieut. Garlington determined, if the conditions re- inained the same, not to leave a record at Littleton sland, but to take advantage of open water and press as far as north as Cape Prescott, where he Would leave the first_cache of provisions and a whale boat. Littleton Isiand was therefore passed, but at 11:30 an unbroken front of ice was enconn- tered, and it was determined to go to Cape Sabine. Payer Harbor was reached at 3:30, and while on shore Lient. Garlington saw that’ the pack had broken and open lanes of water were seen as far a8 Cape Hawks. Cape Sabine was rounded, and Lieut. Garlington gi graphic description of THE ICE CLOSING IN UPON THEM, notwithstanding their efforts to retreat and the ulti- mate Toss of the vessel. (In giving the account of the voyage Lieut, Garlington speaks of the careless manner in which the ship was navigated. When there was no longer doubt of the loss of the Pro- ut. Garlington ordered the men to throw the stores. Many of the boxes went un- der the ship and about 30 per cent. of the stores thrown over w He paysa high tribute to Lieut. Colwell for courage and presence of mind in securing the boats, and also Dr. Harrison for zeal In saving provisions, &c. The men of Lieut. Garling- ton’s detachment were cool and collected. ALLEGED BAD CONDUCT OF THE CREW. ‘With the exception of the chief engineer of the Proteus, Mr. Carmichael, and the boatswain, Mr. Taylor, none of the crew lent any assistance in Saving property. At the first alarm those on duty abandoned their posts, and all rushed to look after thelr own property and did nothing towards saving provisions until after thelr bags had been pack and safcly put on the ice. AS soon as stores began to go overboard they broke open the boxes and ap- propriated anything that suited thelr fancy. Lieut. Colwell lost all of his clothing after it had been thrown on the ice. He afterward recovered a portion cf it from one of the assistant engineers of the ship, The crew seemed bent on robbing from the st nd appeared to think they had a right to take what they wanted. Lieut. Garlington thinks however, that if their own officers had taken the steps there would have been no difficulty in ing the stealing. He protested to Capt. Pike, put he said he was powerless, adding “they (the crew,) are the WORST LOT OF SCOUNDRELS I EVER SAW.” ‘They were shipped under the English law for an English ship, and claimed that, as their pay stopped When the ship went down, their shipping articles were no longer in force. To assume control of the crew and enforce discipline would bave required more force than Lieut. Garlington had at his com- mand. He therefore determined to keep his men and stores ate, and to avoid any unnecessary collision i was agreed that the crew should take ther three boats and the rest the two whale boats, About 12 chances Jooked favorable for It was decided that, Colwell should take the whale boat and make the attempt, AS the Garlington men were exhausted and the crew ked for a erew for the whale iguified their willingness to go. A DESCRIPTION OF THE RETREAT then follows. At Brevoort Island, on the 2th July, arecord was left. The prime object of the expedl- tion was defeated, and the best course to follow looking to the rellef of G: the problem to be solved. Tt was i go north in smalt bo If the Yantc Littleton island or Pandora harbor, ¢lothing,stores, coal and canvas could be secured, ‘and a station established at Life Boat cove, remain there with three men, and the Test sent to St. Johns. Lieut. Garlington gays that taking into consideration the condition oi the “fee, and the instructions of Com- mander Wilkes not to enter ft, there Was no chance of the Yantle’s getting there. When the fee through which the Proteus had passed off Labrador was described _to Commander Wilkes in duly, he said he would not have put the Yantic in icir he had encountered it. While he thouzht ¢he Yantle would reach Littleton Island if consistent with the safety of the vessel, he did not _think she Would get through Melville Straits. But if she Should reach Littleton Island she would find the record, know of the disaster and pick them up soon, It was, therefore, decided to cross Smith sound at the first favorable ‘opportunity and proceed south, At Cape Sabine a large quantity of clothing was recovered from the crew of the Proteus, but they surrendered it with a_bad_ grace, although 1t was explained that It was necessary to leave everything possible for the Greely party. THE DANGERS ENCOUNTERED, and the narrow escapes made in the retreat are Teconnted in fll until the Yantic found them on the 2d of September. REPORTED KILLING OF MEMBERS OF THE GREELY PARTY NOT CREDITED. ‘The reports of the killing of one or two members of the Greely party, which have been published, Were examined, and Lieut. Garlington states that no credence should be attached to them. The amount of stores left at, different points are given, and Lieut. Garlington is of tie opinion thatit Lieut. Greely should reach Littleton Island this season he .Will divide his people among the different Rakimo settlements, and the stores he will tind on hisiine of retreat, supplemented by the fame of that, region, will be sufiicient food for his party. Unless thé condition of the tee permits him (Lieut. Greely) to leave Discovery harbor im his boats, he does not think he will’attempt the journey’ to Littleton island this season, as the experience of two winters will have shown Greely the futility of making an point. Afferwonts tt was arranged to s of the United States navy with the onVOY; and thts so far obvia sity of Hirst sto; to uno the convoy tt that It was thought best that obs should remain as .

GARAINGTON HAS BEEN ASKED TO EXPLAIN more fully, 1st. Why he did not endeavor to make a depot at Littleton Island with what stores he could gather during the remaining Ume he might have Temained in that region. 2d.

His Visit to Washington. A FETE AT SECRETARY F cut 'S—I0VE MENTS OF THE DISTINGUISHED VISITOR 10-DAY. Lord Chiet Justice Coleridge and_party arrived in this city last evening, and were received at the depot by the Attorney General and Messrs. Merrick, Lowndes, Morse, Edwards and ‘Ashton, of the coni- mittee of the bar association, Mr. Shellabarger being absent. The party of the lord chief justice consists of tive persons: Lord Coleridge. Mr. Gilbert Coleridge, James D. Jounson, of Albany, N. Y. Elliott F, Sheppard, of New York city, and Lieut. clean. ‘The party was driven to Wormiey’s, Later in the evening Lord Coleridge made an infor- mal call on the President, accompanied by the At- torney General, the Secretat of State and Mr. Elliott She At 8 o'clock Lord Coleridge ‘swith his son, Gilbert Coleridge, Attorney General Brewster, M! F. Morris, esq., resident of Uke bar association; and Messrs. AL Porter Morse, Elliott Sheppard, Ticut. Mecleilan and James D.'Johnson, A recepifon was given in the evening at Secretary Frelinghuysen’s residence, the guests being presented to Lord Coleridge by Mr. Frelinghuysen. ‘The President, the members of the Cabinet, the justices of the Supreme Court and members Of the diplomatic corps were among the guests. PREC wl at Littleton tsland, AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. Lord Coleridge this morning visited the United States Supreme Court at. the Capitol. By half-past 11 there was only “standing room” outside the bar of the court, and very little of that. Some of the : eats, however, were reserved by the officers of rt, a fact which made the democratic zonge in the throats of many who were denied adm{t- Hance to them. At 12 o'clock promptly the Justices of the court were introduced in the usual forma, and came upon the bench. ‘The attention of the kpec- tators Was at once rivetted upon a tall, slender, eld- erly gentleman, who entered with Chief Justice Waite, and stood beside him, while the usual “0. yez!” was being cried. He was known to be Lord Coleridge, as he was the only one of the row of eld- erly gentlemen who did not weara jndiclal robe. ‘The presence of Lord Coleridge did not create a ripple of disturbance in the proceedings of the court, A learned lawyer at once ceded an argu- Ment in @ pending case. A few minutes after 1 o'clock the Lord Chief Justice took his leave of the court.
