CUTTING IN TIME I PRICES AND CLOSING OUT S SEE I TOO LATE! Ri« Times. Mr B- St George Tuckfr, of Virginia, mulf « speech mMiy tith in the Housi ,.i It i r sentatives on the subject o p. n.ions, whieh gro ins together a C r,ai deal <f ver, valuable and inter- estinif material. He showed that on IUne-10, 1891, there wire 676,160 p n- sioners on the rolls actually drawing „ nsions, and that we paid out for p:n»i< ns during the year then ending $ 118,000,000. He also ? i,n\\ed that under the law as it now <t mil-, th. re were on .lune 30, 1891 I per ons either living or en- iitl. il by ri presentation to be on the sion rolls, and of these l,o0S,457 as meiiy as 928,4*3 had at that tune filed their jipplioaiiona tobe p aced on the rolls lie s al-d that lie had made the calculations and that it would take |h;2,771,390 annually to pay these 928,- i;.i winn they should alt he admitted to the rolls, which, added to the $118- 0d.i,0C0 already b ing annually paid out ui Wes the annual. ggreg&te $281,000,000 that we have lo pa\ whi-n these 928.473 are admi ted, and, if all the res. of the l,,'ij',h*>7 »re admitted, the annual ad- uiticm will be $119,1)00,000, which will make tl e annual pension list $;ial 000,000 This is what the pe p'e «f the United States have to look forward to if the pension hg'sMion nowon the S atute li H.k is iair ed out to its logical risult. there may be diminutions f om one can-e and anot'u r, bu*, if (here is any ju tie in the system of pecsioni'g it must be in do to operate tqua’ly upon all, and as there is this enormous body ot p.'rs<us to hep nsioncd, accord i. gto tletleory th t pr vails, when the thing is equalise d we are bound to be in fur a -um ve-y much like that named, viz: $391,000 000 per annum, for 6ome p rmd i.f lime. What the period is no man has yit ventured to suggest 1‘ is useless to say that many have died who were entitled to be on the lists, and that many will yet die It fore they are put there Death has no hing whatev er to do with the matter. It the rights of t'.e part.es vested, the mouey must be paid to their r p i se* tatives even if they w- re unlucky ei oug i to die be'o e their applications were ti’ed, if justice is io be the rule. Mr. Tucker also show ed that our revenues forayearor two, at anv rate, are estimated by the Treas ury Departmental a stm not muen ex- c (ding $150,0 0,000. Since pemions are going to eat up almost all of this, win nee, is the enormous deficiency to be raised? Since we are confronted w ith this most disastrous situation, is it not about time that the Amt rican . peo ple should call a halt while they make a britf examination iu’o .he questions wh ther there 8 ary sense or reast n in th > system und -r which tlia Union sol- il.er-. oi the war are pensioned?

The difference is ac- orderqd to tarn out prepared for battle. The Russian commander marshaled his men. and then started, out on a hasty march in the direction where the Aus trians had been seen.

The Russian&acted as if they were disap pointed, and their commander, after placing a strong output at the point where tl»e Austrians had crossed, re turned slowly to Radzivilou. The affair is regarded in Vienna as of considerable significance, as showinf the readiness of the Russians to seize any pretext for hostilities.
