[Washington Dispatch.] The forthcoming report of Eugene F. Ware, commissioner of pensions, will state that the total pensioners on the rolls is still under 1,000,000. At the close of the fiscal year 1903 there were 990,545 pensioners. Mr. Ware has not yet receive^ the final and official figures for June mt from unofficial estimates he believes the record for 1904 will be just about what it was a year ago and that the increase, if any, is small. There is only one thing that keeps the total below 1,000,000, and that is the heavy mortality among the veter ans. Thy are dying off at a rapid rate, but their places are filled by pensioning widows and men with no other disability than old age. More than 5,000 pensionem died in May, and the monthly average will soon be 6,000. Commissioner Ware says that if it were not for the wid ows of old soldiers the pension roll would shrink with pleasing regular ity, despite the operations of execu tive order No. 78, which makes ago disability pensionable. There was a period in the adminis tration of the present commissioner when the number of pensioners passed the 1,000,000 mark. This was in 1902. On August 1 of that year there were 1,001,494 pensioners on the roll. After that date the total declined steadily until May, 1902. DAMAGED LUMBER FOR SALE.
