The Senate Votes More Liberal PEN
slons to Manned Federal Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, May 25.--On motion Of
Mr.. Sewell the Senate to-day took up the
bill heretofore reported by him from the
Committee on Pensions "tO amend the
pension laws by increasing the pensions
OF soldiers and sailors who have lost an
arm or leg in the service"
The bill gives $50 a month to soldiers
aud sailors who lost one loot or one hand
in the service, S36 to those who lost an
arm above the elbow or a leg above the
knee, S45 TO those VINO lOst an arm at the
shoulder joint or leg at the hip Joint.
Mr. Sewell said the pill would increase
the pension expenditure 81 .694. 792 year.
Mr.. Miller offered an amendment ex-
tending the provisions OF the bill so as to
include among the $40 pensioners cases of
men whose legs had been amputated so
near the hip joint as TO prevent the use of
an artificial limb. The amendment was
agreed to and so amended the bill passed.
On motion Of Mr.. Sawyer, private pen
sion cases were then taken up and pro-
ceeded with.
INGALLS, AssAILS BLACK.
During the consideration Of a private
pension bill Mr.. Ingalls, severely criticised
Gen. Black, Commissioners OF Pensions,
declaring him TO be an ''impostOr." whom
Congress grS2ted the highest pen
sion rate on the false allega-
ti0ns of his being "wrcck. -
He protested against Gen. Blacks
enjoyment OF such pension while Op-
posing pensions to other soldiers.
Mr.. COckrell defended Gen. Blacks adj
ministration of his Office, citing figures TO
show that more claims were allowed each
year under his administration than in
any year in any former administration.
If Mr.. Ingalls, believed Gen. Blacks
pension unjust, Mr.. Cockrell said he Mr..
ingalls, should introduce a bill to discon-
tinue the pension.
VOORHEES, TO THE DEFENSE.
MIR. Voorhees, warmly defended Gen.
Black. and with energy and emphasis de-
MED that there mad been any false allega-
tiOns in the matter Of his application for
a pension. He represented Gen. Blacks
condition at the time as one OF absolute
aud complete disability, and his survival
and recovery was wholly unexpected and
extraordinary.
Mr.. Logan would not say that Gen.
Black was not entitled TO his pension, but
expressed the hope that the Pension Oflice
would be administered in sympathy with
wounded soldiers.
