ResOlutiOn-The Pension Bill.
WASHINGTON, January IA.
Ouray had a talk with Schurz yesterday,
during which he expressed a desire to have
the present troubles healed us soon as pos
sible. When Schurz laid down as the con-
dition of peace the necessity IN Ouray's
part Of delivering up the murderers Of
Meeker, the Chief replied: ''That is a very
funny thing to ask Of me. How can l give
them up. Why do you hold my tribe
responsible for what those men did. We
are Uncompagres. They are White River
Utes, and not under my immediate con-
troll. If a murder were committed here in
Washington, would your authorities make
the whole population suffer for it?"
The Senate Finance Committee this after
noon, after a discussion of Bayard's reso-
luton to repeal the legal-tender power of
greenbacks, took vote, which resulted in
a decision to report it adversely. The
votes In favor of its passage were cast by
Bayard, Herman, Wallace and Morrill,.
Those against it were Beck, Voorhees,,
Ferry and Allison. Jones, of Nevada, was
absent, but is 20 to be opposed to it.
In the Senate the bill to increase the
pensions of totally disabled soldiers and
sailors was taken up. The bill finally
passed. 1t increases the pensions of such
persons from $50 to $72 per month. After
