MEXICAN WAR PENSIONS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The veterans Of
the Mexican war held meeting Saturday.
at which the President stated that he had
assurances from members of House and
Senate which led him to hope for the pas
sage of the Pension Bill this winter.
THE WAR CLAIMS FIGHT.
1t is the understanding that the Speaker
is to recognize Waddell, of North Carolina,
the suspension of the rules, to prohibit the
payment of any claim growing out of the
late war to loyal or disloyal persons. The
bill also provides that no claim now in the
process OF adjudication shall be affected by
the act. This movement grows out of the
agitation of the question of war claims.
The reason it is put in the shape of an act
of Congress instead of resolution calling
for an amendment of the Constitution, is
because large number of members are not
willing to advocate the latter course, while
they are willing TO place themselves on
record as voting for law Of Congress that
can be repealed by future Congress if
public opinion should require it to be re-
pealed.
