THE MEXICAN PENSION BILL

WILL NOT BECOME A LAW THIS SESSION.
WASHINGToN, June I. - Special. =
Although the Senate has passed tho
Mexican Pension bill to-day. it will not
become Il law this session of Congress as
it now stands. The Senate, for political
effect, tackled amendments to pension all
Union soldiers who labor under disabili-
ties and are unable to support them
selves, whether such disability was ac-
qIlircd in the army or since the war.
The House will never agree to such q
misuse of the pension laws, and the bill
is killed beyond redemption. 1t would
take $25O.OO60OO to pay pensions annually
under the provisions Of the bill as it now
stands. The Mexican veterans will
again have to wait. All legislation for
this session is now practically at an end,
except the completion of the appropria-
ton bills, in order to adjourn next week.
The Santa Fc bill is now in the hands
of the Conference Committee.

Tone of the Stock Market.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Governments
steadier. Railways firm. State securi-
ties quiet. There was a decided change
in the temper of speculation at the Stock
Exchange. Repeated efforts were made
to depress the market, but there was
no lack of supporting or
ders, and after each decline
higher prices ruled. Leading operators
were large buyers of specialties. Other
causes for advance were the reduction
in rates of sterling exchange. State
ments by prominent bankers that inn
port movement of gold is to
be witnessed in the early future
and favorable advices concerning crops,
facts that none of the sensational
rumors current yesterday proved true,
also had much to do with the increased
firmness. Share list market opened
