THE ARREARAGEs OF PENSIONS BILL.
There seems to be no prospect Of any means
being devised by the democrats to avoid the
arrearages Of pensions bill which the republicans
are trying to force upon them. except that OF let
ting all business aside from the tsriff go over. 1t
Is suggested that the proposition that was made in
the last Congress, to make 1t in order when such
Dill Is under consideration to amend by adding a
provision Tor the collection OF tax TO meet the ex-
penditure be renewed, but this has not been de-
cded upon. This proposition would probably
cause as much OF block TO business as does the
pension bill.
