Senator Davis, from the committee
on pensions, reported faYorably the de-
pendent pension bill introduced by Sen
ator Henderson, and known as the
Grand Army bill. The bill has the
same objects in view as that vetoed by
the president. 1t is believed, however,
that the. new bill, by the more explicit
manner in which its purpose is stated,
obviates the principal objections raised
in the presidents veto. The bill has
the unanimous endorsement of the PEN
sion committee.
The first section declares that, in con-
sidering the pension claims of depend
emit parents, the fact that the soldier
/ left no widow or minor children having
I been shown, it shall be necessary only
/ to show that the parents are without
other means of support than their own
manual labor or the contributions OF
others not legally bound for their sup
port. A proviso to this section pro-
vides that the pension shall be-
gin from the date of the passage OF the
act or from the date of subsequent de-
pendence, and shall continue no longer
than the existence OF such dependence.
In this respect it differs from the We
tOed bill, which provided that no pen
should begin prior to the passage OF
the act, and that in case of applications
hereafter made the pension should
commence from the date of filing OF
the application.
'sBy the second section of both bills
pensions at the rate of $12 per month
are granted all persons who served
more than three months and were hon
orably discharged, and who are or may
hereafter be suffering from mental Of
physical disability not the result o.
their own vicious habits or gross care
lessness. They differ, however, in thu
language by which they define the de
gree of disability. The new bill reads
Disability which totally incapacitatei
them for the performance of manua
labor" while the vetoed bill read
Disability which incapacitated then
for the performance of labor IN such ;
} | degree as to render them unable Il
earn a support, and who are dependen
upon their daily labor for support.
The new bill also limits its provision
to those who served in the late rebel
, lion, whereas the vetoed bill eXtendet
to soldiers of any war in whlcl
the United States was engaged. III
bill further differs from the vetoed bi
: in the addition of another section
3 granting pension to the widow or min
? or children under eighteen years Of age
) or, in case there is no widow or mino
children, to a dependent mother O
? father, without regard to the cause O
t death Of the pensioner. The sectiol
also increases the pension OF mino
children from 81 to So per month, an
3 declares that the pension of idiotic G
9 helpless minors shall continue durin
: life OF the period of disability.
The section in relation to the fee 0
pension agents is amended by fixin
Y a maximum fee of $40, instead of a
lowing fee of s. with a discretionar
power in the commissioner of pension
to increase the fee to 80, as the vetoe
: bill provided.

SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER: The last
heavy piece of the Lick telescope
mounting was raised and put in place
last Saturday. Unusual pains were
taken to prevent an accident, as loss
of $50, 900 would have been entailed by
the falling of the piece. 1t was hoped
short time since that the work would
be so far advanced as to try the big lens
at once, but it will be out of the Ques-
ton TO make the test before next week.
The third lens has arrived safely and
fits the cell exactly. Alvin Clark. who
accompanied the lens, made some tests
on the big lens. and feels assured that
very little grinding will be necessary
Nothing could be done until the tube
was put up and star tests made and
photographs taken. The observatory
will, in all probability, be completed
and turned over to the regents of the
University by the last of February OF
the 1st of March.
