Depatment Files His Report
for the Fiscal Year.
Assistant Secretary Bussy, of the In

for the fiscal year. The report reviews
the work of the board of pension ap
peala. It shows that January 1, 1-91,
there were 5,023 appeals pending before
the beard, aa against o,wu juiv 1, isi.
Mr. Bussey points out several defects in
nenainn legislation, and makes a num
ber of recommendations looking to their
correction. He asks that Congress be
rea nested to enact a law that shall ex
pressly authorise the department to
treat all improper, illegal aud excessive
Momenta of nensions. whether caused
by fraud or mistake, as payments to be
charged against tne current pension,
with a view to readjust or equal the cur
rent nen.inn navments within the dis
cretion of the Secretary. He suggests
tnai in case 01 iiisnuo, miui.u; ui w.v,
wiw. helnlejia children of deceased pen
sioners, of pensionable age, the limit be
ahnlinhed. so aa to admit such children
at any date to the pension roll. He
aim recommends that persons who

afterwards enlisted in the navy of the
United States be given tne same pen
sion accorded those who served the Con
federate cause and then enlisted In the
army of the United States.
Under the authority of. the act of

naeian can on the back of the head. On
the band, or fillet, over the front of the
head is the word "Liberty," and over
the head at the top of the coin, "in uou
We Trust." Around the medallion are
thirteen stars, and at the bottom the
date of coinage. On the reverse side
annears the seal of the United States,
as adopted in 1782, an eagle with open
wings, on tne Dreasi a buiciu arguni,

dexter claw the eagle holds an olive

sinister claw a aheaf of thirteen arrows.
representing war. In his beak the eagle
holds a scroll containing "E Pluribus

head with thirteen stars, environed by
clouds. This will be the design of halves
and quarters. The dime on the obverse
side, in place of the stars, will have
"United States of America." "In God
We Trust" will be omitted from the
dime. The reverse of the dime will be
the same as the present dime in use.
