WASHINGTON, June 1.—It is said that upwards of two hundred clerks are to be dismissed from the Pension Office, and that the list of names of those who are to be invited to step out is nearly completed. The last pension appropriation bill contains a clause which will reduce the force for the next fiscal year about 130. Whether the 200 mentioned as being booked for dismissal are in addition to the 130 which will have to go under the terms of the Pension Appropriation bill, cannot be officially ascertained to-night. Officers of the Department admit that a large number of changes are to be made, and do not deny that the lists are nearly completed, but evade answering direct questions by saying the matter will be made public at the proper time. Gen. Black had a long conference with the President on the subject to-day.
