Soldlors pensioned nt loss than ? ; ! 0 ner month , and wholly di.sKblou for the perform ance of manual labor oy reason of disability on account of which they are pensioned , are a titled to liicreu.se of pension to that amount per month , and If Iho disability is such that they require Iho regular aid and attendance of another per son , they may obtain pension at the rate ol $ rJ per month. Any pensioner under the old law , whoso disability hus Increased slnco data of the issue of his last pension certificate , may ob tain an Increase of pension proportionate to the increase or his disability. AimiTioxu. xr.w r\w. Soldlors pensioned ut loss than $12 per month for disability inclined In the service , who nro also suffering from otter disability of any nature , not due to ficloui habits , may obtain ndullional pension under the now aw. Tnls pension commences from the data of tiling the claim and cannot exceed $12 per month. The now law is of special ad vantage to this class of pensioners , for the reason that if they have a disability other tnan that for which they are pensioned , they may obtain additional relief from date of til ing claim , and if , in the future , the disability for which they were originally pensioned undcrtbo old law increases to such an extent as to entitle them to inoro than $ \ " per month , they may surrender their ponilou under the now law and resume the penion under the old law at sueti increased rate as may bo proportionate to the degree of dis ability nt that time. Pensioners at loss than ? 12 per month , de siring increase of pension , will find it to their advantage to apply untior both the old and now law , for the ro'ison that any increase up to Jl'J per month will date from the day the claim is filed in the pinslon bureau , whereas a claim for increase under the old _ law , will secure increased pension auty from Iho date of examination , which , on account of the work in the pension bureau being very much dolayod.is usually some months after the date of filing the claim.

HOW TO APPLY Toil I'ENSIOXr ) . THC BEE AND ExAMi.NKiiBriiEiUOFCi.mts was originally organized for the special pur pose of affording claimants under the Indian depredation act of March 3 , 1801 , the means of relief from the oxhorbitnnt charges of un scrupulous agents and attorneys who had been charging their clients from < ' M } $ per cent to 50 per cent of the amount of their claims , but so many ex-soldiers and the widows nnd orphans of soldiers olTurel their claims for prosecution that it became evident that the field of usefulness of the bureau was not confined to the interests of claimants on account of the depredations of Indians , and the scope nnd plans of the bureau have been enlarged to meet the constantly increasing demand for its services in behalf of tno sol dier public. The bureau does nothing by halved , nnd a soon a1it was decided that the claims of sol diers arid their heirs mustoccupy u larposharo of its attention an effort was made to-hccuru the services or an export and thoroughly re liable attorney to whom could bo sately en trusted the delicate and Important interests of its soldier clients , nnd whoso work would meet their expectation. In this the bureau has been eminently successful , having secured - cured the services of Mr. Carroll O.

Wnenover it is found that any n for advice is Justly entitled to pens o i y additional allowances from the gov r.nmt the proper papers will b < i prepared f excu lion and forwarded to him by return mall without chnrgo.

In claims for increase of pension , the feu charged by this bureau is only $ . ' , payable only in the event of the allowance of Iho claim. In other claims the amount usual varies according to the naturoof ibo case and iho law upon the subject.

Thousands of deserving , and in many in stances , needy ox-soldiers , veterans of luuny fierce battles , and the widows and prplmns of such , have often felt themselves justlv en titled to relief nnd assistance at the hands of Iho government which they so nobly fought for in the hour of peril , yet Imvo not applied for pension or ether allowance ! duo them for the simple reason that they were not familiar with the "rod tape" requirements of the gov ernment , and were not personally acquainted with an attorney ur an agent in Washington or elsewhere , who was in possession of the technical knowledge necessary to enable him lo transact the business properly , nnd were unwilling to entrust n matter to dcl cato and important to any of the thousands of ago ills and attorneys whoso pretentious circulars they were receiving constantly ; while many others equally descrying and to whom a pen sion would bo nt least n partial relief from the burden of arduous duulv manual labor , per formed under the ulftjcuity ami pain incident to disease antl advancing ago , have failed to anply for the pension which is justly duo ilium , because they were not nwaro of their riulitu and pilvllopes ijntlcr the pension laws.

It will take claims under this law and proicputo them for persons who uo not Icnow whom to cnga o lor the service. Tjio business entrusted to the bureau in .Washington Is being1 proseoL' 'd with energy. The Indian depredations patent , land mining anil other claims before Ihc courts and departments ara bclnir pushed ns rapidly as possible , with no delays on accunt of the laruo amount of business which has been sent to Iho bureau. Tlio laruo amount , of claims ntrustud tolls enrols a standing proof of iho tccrn and confidence in which Tnu Itni : Is hold by the publicwhichltscrves. Itis like wise a domonstralloli. if ono was required , o ho need of such un organization The revelations in regard to the Loomls agency which have been published recently go oven furthcrin Iho same direction. When n man sought for by the police for nonrly'n year on a warrant for embezzlement can setup up ns a claim agent , flood the wotorn coun try with circulars and roccivo assignments for several million dollar's worth of claims. It appears that thoru is little protection for the claimant whosends to an unknown repre sentative. The men who assigned thoi rclniin lo Loomls would have had small ch anco o their seeing any of their inonoy if thn schnmer had boon given time to collect their claims. When such risks uro run nnd mon who arc not able to go to Washington nnd know no ono thcro must hire their attornevs ut haphazard , the nnod for a bureau to pro tect tne people and do their work at reason able rates is apparent. The approval with which Tin : EBB enter prise is received by Journalists and public men is ns gratifying us Iho responsu of Iho public. 3HIS DUl'HKIt.lTlOX CK.tlll * . The expcrionco of Tun HUB CLAIMS BritBAU ha ? brought out the fact that many of Its subscribers uo not , understand that the Indian depredations act passed by iho last congress annulled all previous contracts for collccling claims under it. This is n fact that llioy should know for their own protec lion. When the act wns siirned all contracts with agents were maila void by its terras. The holders of claims were then frco lo make such bargains with their n6enls as they pleased , or could refuse to make any bargain at all. The framers ( if the act found it necessary to take Ihis stop for Iho protection of the claimants. Atlhollmo when Ihero seemed little chance that suoh an net would bo txisscd hundreds of claimants unu contracted with agents to pay oulrugoous fens in case Iho money could bo collected. Cases are known in which the claimants had contracted to give up to Iho agents over ono-hnlf the amount collected. Cases in which or.o-third Was promised were not at all uncommon. To allow these contracts to stand would make the law not nn act of justice , but , un act of extortion for tlio bonetit of the claim agents. The clause was inserted annulling all the contracts , good , bad and intllffcront , and limiting the percentage to DO charged by ageuls lo 15 per cent , wih ; an extra 5 per cent ullowanco for special cases. The claim ugonls naturally objected to thl * , asserting that it was beyond the po-vers of congress , but the best opinion of both houses was that contracts made to colU'ct claims under u law that did not exist could bo annulled in thse manner. On Iho 4th of March , therefore , the claim ants who had signed contracts were as frco from obligations to ngonts as these who had not. If they were salislled with theiragcnts nnd wl.shcd to sltrn a now contract within tha It git of compensation llxod by the law , it was their right , but ncno of thorn were under any legal obligulion lo do so. The tnoro unscrupulous of "tha ugonts naturally represented lo Ihclr clients that they were bound to renew their contracts , with merely Iho substitution of iho lurms named by law for the outrageous commissions nt llrst de manded. Cases have been brought to the attention of TIP : HKI : in which this policy had boon tollowod succos 1 ly , by unscrupulous agents. They had in u word bullied the claimants Into hiring thorn when if ttio claimants had understood that they were free of obligation , they would have chosen ether roprosentr.llves. As others are being worked upon In thu same way , the facts of the case are sot forth for their pro- lection. If they am satislled with Iho mon they lirit cho o they are riglit in ro-engaging thorn. If they are not satiliod , they arc free to engage an body they chooso. Tnu UKB CLAIMS DUKCAU was established solely for Iho protection of the public.

It will colloi-t the claims at only such charge * as will p.\y the expenses of the Du- reau. It is expected Ihat it will rarely Imp- pen that the limit sot by the law will bo needed to pav the expanse of collection. Many of the claims can doubtless be collected for f > per cent of their face.
