passed is precisely as reported from t% %s
senate committee on apnronriat;ons
making the addition of s..,oo con -
the bili as reported from the house y
Inc Mexican pensions bill was tato,,
up. MIR. Van Wyck moved NO en
amendment bill the same az the on
since reported from the pension com.
mittee by Mr.. Cullen to provide nan.
sions for invalid soldiers and saI,ors
VINO mad been discharged from The
army or navy after three months in
the war of the rebellion, and for the
widows and dependents on the parent.
OF deceased pensioners.
Mr.. Hawley was opposed tc
the service pension and would
therefore be unable to vote fo,
the Mexican pension bill. Able -bodied
soldiers did not need pensions, but fo,
disabled soldiers he would give lin.
orally. e's nv
MIR. Cullom said the Mexican pen.
sion bill ought to be passed. also an
amendment providing relief for the
soldiers of the late war.
MI. sherman was very DESTROYS that
AT TINS session some satisfactory pen
sion legislation should be secured, no,
only for the Mexican soldiers, but fol
the soldiers of the late war. He hoped
the military committee would add e
the bill an amendment on another
point. 1t was an outrage, he said, thai
thousands of brave soldiers who
served their country faithfully in the
war and who went to their home!
when the war was over, should stant
on the army records as deserters.
After further debate the senate, with
out reaching a conclusion on the bill
went into executive session and. whei
the doors reopened, adjourned.
