PENSIONS AND LAND PATENTS An Interview with General Bussey of the Interior Department. A DEFENSE OF COMMISSIONER RAUM. Some Pointers for Intending Settlers ~Hon. J. B. Weaver Concludes to Decline the Democratic Nom- ination for Congress. Des Morxes, Ta, August 51 Me Bee)—General \ocretary of the iuterior, hus i several days with his daughte: L. Hillo, in this city, When asked in re- gardto the charges made against General Raum, tho commissionor of pensions, Gen- eral Bussey did not hesitate to say that the commissioner was all vight “General Raum,” he said, *is not only of the most eMcient but most faithful em- ployes of the government. There is no man for whom I have o bigg ; no man [Special to onnected with the administration feels more | eeply the rosponsibilities that him. Thealieged charges I predict will come to naugh, There is no foundation to any of them, except the discontent of a fow and tho natural inclination of others to do or say something to embarrass the administration *“The business of «the ponsion department has grown beyond all comprehension, The department is flooded with matters and every one thinks his own case the important o demunding immedi; attention. em- ployes as well as tho commiss that the petitions are, many of th and are t\wing ail the 1 to push th petitions now pendin der the old law are about 500,000, and under the new law, sin June 27, over four hundred thousand petitions have been filed. The pi of mail received at the department are fully 100,000 per week. It can readily be seen that it requires an enormous amount of work to open and handle all of that mail. These 900,000 petitions do not represent that many different applicants. Many applied under the old law have plic the new also, and many who are now receiving pensions are applicants for an increase, “After consultation with me, Raum some time ago decided upon somplete ; lent W of disposing of th one that insures absolute impart are now 115,000 of these completed they will be disposed of as rapidly as possible they were comploted. As to have his case vest upon General the plan it is an exce i and v, There lles und placd and if his case is complote it is placed the if not, he is notitied of the fact. The cases ave adjud not in the order of the filing of the claims, but in the order the files ave completed, This often causes complaint, no doubt. Two men applying at the same time, one may get bis pension a month or even @ year before the other, and the delayed claim- ut complains. As a'matter of fact the de- rtment is not to blame; cases are be- zadjudicate matters will be pushed more rapidly, but even then we will 1ot bo able to cateh up o keep up with the business. The people must have patience, The old soldiers have waited a long while* sure them that Commissioner Raum rous of nothing so much as to adjudi- cate their claims as soon as possible, I Lave every confidence in_General Raum, and so have all who know him.” Another thing upon which General Bus was questioned was the undelivered patents now in the department at Washing- ton. “Itist "' he said, it there are at the present time about two hundred and fifty thousand of these patents in the vaults of the government, We ave anxious 0 get vid of them, as they arve in the way and necessitate trouble and expense in keeping them. But we cannot deliver them until the rightful claim- ants demand them. Iadvise those who have not their patent to apply to the department at Washington direct. "All that is nted is evidence that the claimant is the owner of the land described. The receipt of final pay- ment from the register of the land office is such evidence, If this is lost we want such evidence as will satisfy us that the claimant is entitled to the patent. It need cost the farmer nothing to obtain these patent: “The impression that without the patent the landowner is not secure in his possess is wrong. As a matter of fact the patent is not essential to possession, I think it 1s well for the owner to be in possession of the gov- ernment pateat, but I would not have him think that his possession is in any way endan- gered because ho has not the patent. His title is secure without the government patent and the government patent in the hands of another would not give him possession of the lands. If the farmers want them they will have no trouble in obtaining them direct from the departuent.” Weaver Declines. Des Moty In., August 31.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bre.]—A letter was pub- lished this morning from General J. B. Weaver in which he declines the democratic nomination for con; in this district.
