A POWERFUL PENSION LOBBY
Light Let on the Schemers Who are
Marching on the Treasurv.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The pension dema-
gogues are rampant in Congress-. Senator In
gals gave notice to-day that tomorrow he
will call up his motion to discharge the Pen
sion Committee, and bring before the Senate
his bill repeating the limitation on the arrears
OF pensions act. The passage of this bill would
incur an expenditure of at least $3.50, ,OOO, 900.
This is seriously proposed in the face of the
fact that at the last session the Senate added
TO the Mexican pension bill amendments,
which Will cause an annual expenditure OF at
least go, ,OOO,OOO. Senator Voorhees, Joins Mr..
Iagalls IN the revival OF the arrears move
ment. Congressman TOWnshend, of Illinois.
who has become utterly reckless IN the busi-
ness, and who Yesterday voted for the MeXi-
can pension bill with the Senate amendments,
mas gwen notice that he will move
that 1t go to the Speakers table and be put on
lis passage Immediately after the passage of
the Interstate commerce bill is disposed of.
A majority of the House can easily reach the
bill. A large majority has already voted for
It; one OF the strangest features of this for
mldable movement on the Treasury is the fact
that considerable portion of the members
who profess to be revenue reformers, are
joining the high prOtectiOnists in these
schemes to deplete the Treasury. This SIN
gular combination bas grown so powerful IN
the House that there is every probability that
the bill now on the Speakers table will go on
the statute book, unless vetoed by the Presl-
dent, and there is but little hope that it will
be vetoed.
THE FEES OF CLAIM AGENTS.
1t was shown IN the House to-day that at
the last session the law relating to pension
attorneys fees was so amended in the con-
ference committee that claim agents will be
enabled to squeeze over $7OO.OOO from claim
ants whose claims are already on file. There
is regularly organized pension lobby, which
far surpasses in strength and influence any
lobby ever brought together to operate on
Congress. The leaders of this lobby are here
In W Washlngton. Some Of them have grown
rich by means of blood money extracted from
claimants. They publish soldiers papers. the
primary purpose of which is to further legis-
latiOn that will put money in their pockets.
Teey attack public men who refuse to
support their schemes in Congress. They
prejudice the minds of ex-sOldiers against all
who stand in the way Of these schemes. One
OF these papers, the National Tribune, has
circulation of a hundred thousand. 1t is pub
llshed by wealthy pension claim agent.
Inc paper and the agent were severely de-
nounced to-day by Gen. Warner in the House.
The batteries of the Tribune will be opened
against Mr.. Warner and all who say aught or
do aught to defeat the pending schemes

The Oregon Central Railroad Land For.
feiture Bill Passes the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Chair laid be-
fore the Senate to-day a communication from
the Attorney General, urging that a sufficient
appropriation be made to enable the govern
ment to properly defend suits against the
United States in the Court of Claims. 1t was
referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
The Oregon Central land forfeiture bill was
then taken up and discussed.
Mr.. Morgan moved to amend it by adding
to the bill the substance of the provisions
which, on his motion, had been added to the
Atlantic and Pacific forfeiture bill, providing
method OF Judicial procedure for the ascer-
tainment OF the rights Of any parties claiming
under the grant.
At O'Clock the inter State commerce bill

consideration of the Oregon Central bill.
Mr.. Morgan spoke at Considerable length in
advocacy Of his proposed amendment.
Mr.. slater replied to Mr. Morgan and main
tanned that Mr.. MOrgan's amendment was
unnecessary. The bOndhOlder's rights were
shown by the grant. They had such rights as
the granting act gave them and could have
no more. After further debate the amend
ment OF Mr.. Morgan was brought to a vote
and was rejected by 10 yeas to IS nays.

which appropriated $59, ,976, ,0OO or $4,000 less

for pensions shall be presumed to have had no

that such presumption may be
rebutted. An amendment was adopted pro-

that the mode and manner provided for the
regulation of the payment of white pensioners
shall apply to all pensioners. The committee
then rose and the bill was passed. The House
then adjourned.
