REPORT OF PENSION OFFICE Commissioner Evans Gives an Account of His Stewardship , NET GAIN IN NUMBER ON THE ROLIS " 'I'lioic JUpilvIiiKAlii Arc i WliliiMH ii f llcvoliitliitinry for Yciir In ljitl,7ila I'J.I- . WASHIN'GTON , Nov. 5. The nrst annual report of the commissioner of pensions" , II. Clay Kvans , to the secretary of the Interior , was made public today. A summary follows : There were added to the rolls during the year the names of 60,121 now pensioners and there were restored to the rolls 3,971 lennloners who had previously been dropped a total of G4.027. During the same period the losses to the roll were 31.GCO by death , 1,074 by remarriage of widows and mothers , 1,845 by legal limitations ( minors ) , 2.GS3 for failure to claim pension for three years and 4,560 for other causes , an aggregate of 41,132. The whole number of pensioners on the rolls Juno 30 , 1897 , was 976,014. The net gain over the previous year was 6,336. It will thus be seen that the pension roll lias not yet begun to show any diminution , il though It was expected by my predecessor in o 111 co that such would bo the case. Seven widows of revolutionary sold lore and nine daughters of revolutionary soldiers are still on the rolls. During the year 94,451 pension certificates were Issued , of which number 50.101 were original allowances and the balance were re issues , increases , restorations , etc. Of this nunYber 14,571 certificates of various classes were held la t'hs ' ! bureau until July 1 , 1897 , and were accordingly not credited to the past year. During the same period 7C1.274 claims of various classes were disallowed. This number , however , docs not Include claims which were made for higher rates of icnalonn. , The total amount disbursed for pnsons ! by the pension agents during the year waa $139,71)9,242.12 ) , and the amount disbursed by treasury settlement was ? 150 475.23 , a total of $139,949,717.35. This exceeds the amount disbursed during the fiscal ytar 1S9C by $1,548,184.43. If the 14,071 certificates , which , as before stated , wcro liold In thU bureau until July 1 , 1897 , had been mailed to the pension agents during the fiscal yfar they would hivp required first payments amount ing to $2,161,694 , besides the additional an nual value , which would also have been a charge upon the appropriation This amount added to that actually disbursed makes nn aggregate of $141,990,936. The appropria tion for 'the ' payment of pensions for the fis cal year 1S97 was only $140,000,000. The aver age annual 'value ' of each pension nt the clos" of the year was $133.17. The average annual value of esch pension under the general law was $162.01 each and under the act of Juno ' , 1S90 was 109.25. The aggregate annual value of all pensions at the close rf the year was $129 793,128. This , of course , excludes the cases that were hold ip. There were forty-four original and seven duplicate bounty land claims admitted and 145 original claims of this character rejected. Referring to the consolidation of agencies , Commissioner Evans recommends that the executive order of July 14 , last , suspending he operaticn of the order of February 6 , 1897 , tlio latter of which provided for the consoli dation , be continued indefinitely and adds : "I am still of the opinion that the reduc tion and consolidation of the pension agencies at this lime is not only unnecessary but In- ixpcdlent. The disruption of business and the general Inconvenience of service would moro tarn offset the anticipated saving to the government. " In conclusion , the report recommends the publication of a complete list of pensioners ind of the passage of a law that no ppnslon/ / bo granted to the widow of any soldier that shell marry hereafter.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 5. ( Special Tele gram. ) After throe months of Investigation Supervising Architect Taylor has decided to substitute the Reynolds furnace for the Hawley - ley down draft In the Omaha public building , Thla matter was called to the attention of the supervising architect's office by Senator Thurston nnd Mr. Mercer , who urged that , all things being equal , Reynolds' furnace should bo given a trial In the public build ing. The Hawlcy down draft , however , was decided upon , It having been successfully used not only In the Treasury building , but In many of the public buildings throughout the country , although Obey & Co. , who suc cessfully bid on the heating apparatus , asked In a letter to the department permission to substitute the Reynolds furnace for the Hawley - ley down draft. There \vero quite a number of lettero placed on file In behalf of the Iloy- nolds furnace , representations being made that It was In euccereful operation In The Uco building and other structures In Omaha. In view of these representations and the further fact that It was of local manufacture , Architect Taylor decided to substitute the Reynolds furnaco. Thla will reduce the amount of Obey & Co.'s bid by $1,000 and will be deducted from that company's contract. A number of Interesting relics will be sent to the Trar.smUstsslppl Exposition next year by the Georgetown university. Among other things will bo a table once owned by Lord Baltimore , a bell used hy the Jesuits In the early days of Maryland , and the vestments worn by the priests of that mission 200 years ago. Graduates of the university living In Nebraska have asked the faculty to send photographs and make a good showing of the astronomical apparatus , which has always been a feature of this historic institution. The aunt' ' ! ! report of Commissioner Evans of the I'enslcn bureau , which was given out today , shows that there were 10,893 yenslon- ers losldlng In the state of Nebraska on Juno 30 last , and that payments to them during the last year aggregated $2,544,373.
