Mr. Matson stated thnt Much a circular had bcon issued and its effect had bcon salutary. Many claims had peen vigorously prosecuted nnd allowed , which otherwise would have remained un- HC'tod upon on account of want of evidence. Mr , Mason of Illinois regarded the issuing ot circular ns a usurpation on the part of the commissioner of pensions. The circular la so many words said to claim ant * that unless tbclr claims wcro perfected within one hundred day * they would be dismissed. Tbo commissioner had actually taken the place of congress and had enacted a statute of limitations , and ift ono Department of his oftlco between seven hun dred and olght hundred cases had boon dis missed because the claimants had failed to perfect their evidence within 100 days. It was true a caw could bo rtfopened.nt any tlmo on the tiling ot additional proof , but that fact should have been stated by the cttmnlssioncr in his circular letter , "Mr. Mataon defended the action _ of the commissioner nnd the resolution was tabled j-ea , 110 : uay , 00.
