a Democrat Tne annual report of Commissioner Raum, o( the l'enslon Bureau, submitted to the ecretary of the Interior, shows that on June 30, 1S91, there were 670,160 pen sioners borne upon tne tolls of the bureau, being !3S,2i6 more than were carried on the roils at the close of the last fiscal year. They are classified as follows: Widows and daughters of Revolutionary soldiers, 33; orniwinvalid pensioners, 413,507; army widows.minor children, etc., ioS,537;navy invalid pensioners, 5,449; navy widows, minor children, etc., 2,56s; survivors of the war of 1S1, 7,590; survivors of the Mexican war, 16,379; widows of soldiers of the Mexican war, 6,970. Following are the number of pensions cf the several classes granted under the act of June 27, 1S90: Army Invalid pensioners, 97,136; army widows, minor children, etc., I,:oo; navy invalid pensioners, 3,976; navy widows, minor children, etc , 1,436 During the last fiscal year first payments were paid upon 131,160 original claims, re quiring $31,391, 53S for ihelr payment. This is an Increase in the number of or fgna! payments over the year 1S90 of 64, 532. The aggregate cost, however, was $1 ,087,302 less. There were 222,521 first payments of every description, requiring $38,552, 274, being $69,592 less than was required for the 130,514 first payments made during the last filscal year. The average value of first payments made during the year was $230.33, and the average value of first pay ments on claims allowed under the act of June 27, 1S90, was $71. 2S. The average value of first payments for the proceeding j ear was $485.71, being a reduction in the average fiVst payments of $246 3S. The aggregate annual value of the 676, 160 pensions on the roll June 31, 1SS1, was $89,274,200, and the average annual value of each pension was $139.99, and the av erage annua. value of each pension under the act of June 27, 1S90, as $121.51. The total amount disbursed on account of pensions.expenses, etc , during the fiscal yeit was $108,548,959.71, as compared with $103,493,890.16 disbursed during the pre ceding fiscal year. So that it appears that 138,216 pensioners were added to the rolls during the fiscal year just closed, at an in creased cost to the nation of 312,055,069 as compared with the expenditures for the previous fiscal year, and said expenditures include $4,357,347 paid upon vouchers re maining unpaid at the close of the year. Pensions were granted each of the last four years as follows: iSS3, 13,173; 1S89, 145,29s; 1S90, 151,65s; 1S91, 250,565. 4n the conduct of the business for the past year, in addition to the adjudication of completed cases, it has been a prime ob ject," says the commissioner, "to put as many cases as possible in train for com pletion. With this end in view 603,641 orders were made for medical examinations and 474,680 medical examinations have actually been received, 345,867 reports from the War Department have been re ceived, giving the military and medical history in as many claims.'1 During the last year 20,525 pensioners were dropped from the rolls for various causes, and of this number 13,229 were dropped by reason 01 death. In 1S90 the loss to the pension rolls by the decease of widows and dependent mothers and fathers -was at the rate of 25 per 1,000; in 1890, 33 per thousand, and in 1S91, 35 per 1,000 It is estimated that of the soldiers who served the country during the late war 1 , 004,55s were killed in battle or died duiing Tfcnd since the war.' On June 30 last 124,750 ofthese deceased soldiers were represented on the pension rolls by their widows or other dependents. There are about 1,208,707 soldiers of the Union now living, anil of the survivors 520,158 are now on the pension rolls. There are, therefore, 63S.549 survivors who are not pensioned, ar.d 870,90s de ceased soldiers not represented on the pen sion rolls. There were 154,817 congress ional calls for the condition of cases made during the pasi fiscal year.being an average of more than five hnndred per year. In concluding his report the commis sioner says that on an average about 30, 000 pension certificates are being issued each month and that during the current year he expects that as many as 350,000 claims will be adjudicated, for which he believes the present appropriation of $133, 473,oS5 will be amply sufficient. A few dajVago we had a clipping purport to give the greatest depth of the icean gentleman furnishci the evidence to show that thi clipping was incorrect anil sluws that the greatest depfi so fir discovered is oft' the east coast of Japan, founded by the ofliicrs of the Tuscarora and measured 2S, 110 feet.
