Wilsmsuros, Oct. 7.'—'rlio annual re-
port of Green B. Baum. commissioner of
pensions, for the fiscal you ended June so
past and including the first quarter of the
current fiscal year of the operations of his
bureau, has been submitted totho necro-
tury of thc lutgrior. It shows that at the
endof the final year there were 537,914
pensioners borne upon the rolls. There
Were 00,337 original claims allowed during
the year, being 14,110 more than were ul-
lowed in 1880. The amount of the first
payment of these claims aggregated €32,-
478,841, being snout-192 more than in the
previous fiscal year and 810.170.1225 more
than the first payments of the fiscal year
1888. The average annual value of each
pension of. the close of the year was $133.“.
Ila-Incl- [informs in the once.
Commissioner Baum says that upon as-
suming charge of the pension bureau last.
October he discovered that a number of
important changes were necessary to tie
cure satisfactory results, which were
brought tothe attention of the secretary
of the interior. There were no satin . cfory
apecifled duties provided for the . puty
commissioner or the chief clerk of the
bureau. Several thousand letters were
daily received from claimants and lawyers
making complaints to which no reply was
made; the medical division was divided
lnw sections for consideration of specific
discuss; the power of reopening claims
was examined by heads of divisions and
examiners without submitting them to the
commissioner; claims m§c drawn from
the files from day to clay or adjudication
at the discretion of ill. file clerk, claim-
ants having no power to cause the settle-
ment of their claims when complete; 12% pr?

14,333 cases in the special examination di-
vLsion; a division had been creatcd called

forty persons, for the rr-cxaminntion of
cases [fussed upon by the board of review,
and matters relating to the appointment.
and promotion of the official force oi the
pension office and of boards of medical ex-
aminers were under the direction of two
divisions. The report contains all the
orders in regard to these defects in admin-
istration and the manner in which they
were remedied.
Completed File-n fiyntom.
The commissioner devotes considerable
space to (llst‘ilslsillg and explaining the
present system of drawing cases from the
files for adjudication, and says that under
. the system of the completed filcsthe claims
out has a right, upon it proper certification
that his claim is complete. to have it ini-
mcilintely placed upon the "completed
tiles" and taken up in its order for adjudica-
tion. Claims placed upon the "completed
files" are taken up within in week for action,
and if found complete arc immediately al—
lowed.
lf proofs are lacking, a call in immedi-
ately made upon the claimant to supply
lllcileficiency, and upon the receipt of the
n‘quired evidence thi- claim is again taken
up for consideration. The soldier who is

the case, to have such knowledge of their

When Commissioner ltmtut took charge
of the burcnn last October, he says, the
work of mljmiicntiug claims and homing
certificates boil during the period from
July l. mu, fallen far behind the same
period for the previous fiscal year, while

Much of the delay in building naval ves-

The next. nhlpl to be launched willhothc
armored coast defense vessel Montany at
the Union Iron works, San Francisco, and
the armored cruiser Maine If. the Brooklyn
navy yard. It is expected that both these
ships will take the water in November,
but. it will be a long time before either of
them is completed, an the armor for neither
is yet commenced. The Texas, at Norfolk,
seems to be almost abandoned. The two
2,00) ton cruisers being built It Baltimore
will be the next launched, and it is hoped
they will be followed next summer by the
two 8,000 ton vessels now on the ways at
Brooklyn and Xorfolk. Next year also
should show the launching of the 2,!!!)
tonner building at Boston by Harrison
Loving, the naval academy practice vessel
front the yard of Moore&Sous of. Eliza-
beth, N. J., and the two 1,000 ton gunbonts
from the Bath Iron works in Maine. Last
of all, probably as lute as the fall of its»,
will come the big armored cruiser to be
constructed by the Cramps, and her sister
ship in the bands of the Scott!»
Work on these two ships will have to be
pushed to the extreme if they areto be
added to the navy during the Tracy regime.
Three vessels already launched are await-
ing trial. They are the Newark. at
Cramps‘. and the Concord and Benning-
ton.at Chester. No date has been fixed
for the trial of the Newark. The Concord
will probably be tried in a few weeks. She
has made a number of preliminary runs,
and is to have the pitch of her screw slight»
ly changed before the official test. The Ben-
nington will not be tested for at least a
month yet. it seems probable. therefore,
that the new steel navy will next year cou—
sist of twenty-seven vessels, of which three
will be urmorcd~the Maine, Monterrey and

ed, including the t‘hicngo. Boston, At-

us, l'ctrel, Stilletto, two 3,000 tonuers,
three of 2,000, two of Lilli) tons and the

there will be forty first class ships, and in
1305 there will not be a single wooden ship

great. increase has been virtually made

NKW YORK, Oct. 1.~A Washington spov
ciul says that President Harri-on has been
apprised unofllclully that. the French gov-
ernment is likely to make the recent wel-
come of the Count of Parts in Newlfork
cltyn matter of official diplomtic inquiry.
Collector Erhardt was represented in the
New York papers as welcoming the count
in this language:
"I am instructed, sir, by the president of
the United States and the government at
Washington to welcome you to these shores
and to extend to you every courtesy in my
power."
The African In the Wood I’llo.
As the Count of Paris is the head oil the
house of Orleans and aspires to place that
dynasty on a throne in France, to the dc—
struction of the present. republican govern-
ment, the French government's represent
olives at New York and Washington have
been much disturbed by the character of
this seemingly official welcome of the
noted royulist.
No Such Welcome Directed.
President Harrison bus unofficially stated
that neither be nor the government direct-
ed or instructed such a welcome to be ex-
tended to the Count of Paris, finil that an
official inquiry from the French govern-
ment, which is likely to be made, will he
met by an official illizwow’lll.
It is ascertained that instructions were
sent to the collector by the treasury de-
partment to extend to thet'ount of il’aris
"the usual courtesies" extended to distin-
guished foreigners—that is, the passing of
his baggage Without inspection—and it. is
not believed here that be exceeded instruc-
tions. Nevertheless, the matter will un-
questionably lend to a diplomatic corre-
spondence of an unpleasant nature to the
United States.
What Soon-fury Wiudom Says.
Secretary Winilnm said: "I gave Col.
Erltardt authority to welcome the Count.
