In the morning hour Mr.. Matson of Indi-
ana, in behalf of the committee on invalid
pensions, called up the bill increasing the
pension of widows and dependent relatives
of soldiers from IS to $12 per month. He
stated that the bill had received the unani-
NOUS approval of the committee. A very
careful estimate, made less than two years
ago by gentleman who was thoroughly fa-
niliar with the subject, showed that the ad-
ditional annual cost to the government by
reason of the passage of this bill would
amount to something over $5,000,0o0. The
committee was not in favor of every wild
proposition of pension legislation that might
be presented, but he did not think that
there would be any opposition to the fair
measure which was now reported
Mr. Brown of Indiana warmly favored the
bill and desired to offer no amendment to it
which might endanger its passage.
Mr.. Morrison of Illinois moved that the
House adjourn, but the House voted the
motion down. ......e
The House then went into committee Oh
the whole, Mr. Welborne of Texas IN tne
chair, the purpose being to make an oppor-
tunity of discussing the pension bill.
