Untll the general board, of which Adiniral Dewey s head, ‘Whs constituted, the d¢partment held that the ranking ofcers held the old, com- miseton, Afimiral Dewey decided that senlority of rauk was detérmined by priority of the date of the .first ‘commiseion of the office.

VOLUME OF BILLS UNPRECEDENTED on Measures, Bver red by Fifty-Seventh Congress. (From a Staff Corresponaent.) WASHINGTON, July 17.—There is prob- ably no singlé subject in the domain of national legialation that appeals so strongly to many thousands as that of pensions for the old soldlers. Notwithstanding that the ranks of the veterans are thinning, con- is comstantly broadening the scope of pension legisiation to include within the provisions of {ta session laws persons who ten years ago would never have been contemplated as beneficiaries of the gen- | government. Inquiries are being con- antly received by the committees of the senate and house of representatives on pensions as to the meove and effect of gislation contemplated and enacted. Pen- sion Commissioner Ware s constantly beset with questions as to the purport of new legislation and the newspapers of the country are besieged by subscribers ask- ing for information upon this very im- portant question. In contrast with former sessions the first session of the Fifty-seventh congress, which ended its labors but a fortnight 0, stands out as one of the busiest congresses, so far as the history of that body is concerned in the matter of pension leglslation. v me of Bills Unprecedented. Chairman Sulloway of the house com- mittes on invalid pensions is authority for the statement that the first session of the Fifty-seventh congress shows the largest sumber of bills, both public and private, that were ever sent to committee in the history of congr was referred to his comimittee during the 150 days in which congress was In session. He s in his statement, made to the house just pre- vious to adjournment, that there are va- tious reasons for this, thé two chief ones, however, being the unsatisfactory admin- tration of affairs In the Pemslon bureau during the four years past and the fact that a great many of the veterans of the &ivil war, or to be exact, 107,000 in round fumbers, who were drawing pensions under the general law, were induced, under a misappretiension, to apply under the act of June 27, 1890, and as old age and in- firmities crept upon them they found that the $12 per month which they were drawing under the act of June 27, 1890, was wholly inadequate to provide for them the neces- rles of life, and as a result, unless thoy secure’ ald from congress, many of them would be obliged to find homes in alms- houses. Many of these men were formerly arawing pensions -under the general law, according to Mr. Sulloyay, and had they mained there untii todsy -they would have been entitled to a much jarger pen- sion ‘than can be allowed under the act of June 27, 1890 Provision for Aficted. Another class of cases which he eays appeals to all, and which has engros ed the attention of the committees of both bodles and for which a large number of bllls has been passed, comes right along in these same lin It is the class of men who are drawing $12.s month undctl the act of June 27, 1890, and who ‘Wavé since become totally deat or ‘paralyzed | and require the ald and attendance of an- other person. This class of cases has been raised from $12 to $24 or $30 per month. In order that this class of cases might have an equal and just rating the house of representatives passed an amendment to the so-called “maimed soldiers act,” giviog all veterans of this class who had a yea ervice. a rating of $30 per month where they are so disabled as to require the ald and attendance of another person. 1t is confidently predicted that should this measure become a law it would largely tend to reduce the passage of private acts by congress, and at the same time bring needed rellef to a class of veterans, many of whom can trace. their disabilities to the service, but who, on mecount of tech- nicalities in the law and the fact thal many of their witnesses are not living, ean- not prove their claims, but would be en- titled to & rating of from $50 to $72 per month under the general law. u s Widows and Minors. In this conmection it may not be out of place to recall the joint resolution ‘which was approved by the president on the 1st lines ot simplifying the question of pen- slonable status wifl (be accomplished and many deserving veterans who through tech- nicalities are-unable to enjoy the bemefits of former pension legisiation will have opportunity of proving up their cases. Probably one of the most important bills now pending before congress is the bill granting an Inéresse of pension to those who- lost limbs in the service of the United States, and increastug the pension of those entitled to the maximum rating under the act of June 27, 1890, to $30 per month in cases where the:soldfer requires the fre- quent and perfodical-ald and attendance of another person, previded his service dur- Ing the war of the rebellion was for ene year or more. This biil, which Bad its origin in the senate, was passed by the house on June 16 and is now pending before the senate for concurrence. For Malmed Veterans. The bill provides that all persons who n the pension roll and all persons hereafter granted a pension who, in the militapy or paval service of the United States and in the line of duty, shall Bave lost ome hand or ope foot, or bled In the same, due from prior to August 4, 1886, shall receive = pension at the rate of $40 per month.

BULLER CONTROVERSY AGAIN Sir Baward Grey in House of Com- mons Calls Up Matter Onte More. Cambridge, Exeter, N. H. Bresnahan and LONDON, July 17.—The Buller contro- versy was again ralsed by Sir Edward Grey, Bart (liberal), In the House of Com- mons today on the War office vote. Sir Edward charged the war officlals with act- ing unfairly toward General Buller and de- manded the publication of further papers. The war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, op- posed further publications, which, he de- clared, could not relieve General Buller of the responsibility of such mistakes as the abandodment of the guns at Colenso and the proposals to surrender Ladysmith, Which, If they had been listened to, would have produced a disaster for which there was no parallel in British history. In re- gard to those proposals, continued Mr. Brodrick, when General Buller sounded his note of despair to Gemeral White he & heliogram in his pocket, received a %fll Dbefore, saying that General ad provisions for seventy days and defend 'Ladysmith while the = food lastéd. “General Buller's retontion = after Colenso and Splonkop was inevitable un- der the circumstances and his appointient to the command.at Aldershot was simply & resumption of his former office. General Buller was & good “peace commander.” Later 8ir Edward Grey's proposed vote ot censure of the government for its treat- ment of General Buller was defeated by 236 noes to 98 ayes, after much speech- making. Simultaneously the war office was being attacked in.the House of Lords, where Lord Monkswell (liberal) brought up the scathing allegations contained In the re port of the committee on military educa- tion, and urged the immediate appoint- ment of an inspector general of army edu- cation. Lord Raglan, the under secretary for war, and Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secretary, 8efended the waw office, saying that a new scheme for education, contaln- {ng eweeping changes, was in process of being drawn up, which statement satisfied Lord Monkswéll and his supporters and the motion was withdrawn.
