HOUSE.

Mr.. Osborne Pa.) presented the conference
report on the army appropriation bill.
THE cANTEEN CLAUSE.
The "canteen" clause of the bill, as agreed
upon in conference. was criticized by Mr.. Hol-
man Ind as discriminating against enlisted
men.
Mr.. Picker (S.D. was opposed to the whole
proposition. He did not want the government
to legalize the sale Of liquors to the soldiers.
MR.. OSBORNE SPEAKS OUT.
Mr.. Osborne thought that the commanding
general Of the army knew as much about the
wants of the army as any member OF Congress,
whether he came from South Dakota, Iowa or
to get a little prohibitory capital by striking at
the canteen, which was indorsed by officers of
the army, was to show himself who was looking
forward to the election not far distant. II any
member-even If he came from Maine-eN-
amined the reports of army officers he would
be in favor of canteens.
Mr.. Chipmsn (Mich.) favored the canteen
system, but opposed the provision in the bill
because it gave the governmental recognition
Of the prohibition laws of few Of the states.
Mr.. Kerr Uowa) said that the government
should not recognize the right of army officers
to sanction the sale Of ardent spirits of any
kind, and he believed that the proposed can
teen system would demoralize the army.
TWO DIFFEkENT PICTURES.
Mr.. Morse Mass. regarded the eanteen as q
fruitful source of drunkenness and demoral-
ization.
MIR. Kerr (Pa.) said that the result of the
canteen system was to reduce intemperance
improve discipline and lessen the number Of
desertions.
Mr.. Wheeler (Ala.) defended the conference
provision as compromise measure.
The report was agre ed to.
ANOTHER PENSION CONFERENCE.
Mr.. Morrill, (Kan.) reported a disagreement

PENSION FUNDS LOW.
Some Pensioners VIII Have to Wait
Until July.

The deficiency in the amount Of funds in the
hands of the different pension agents which
has resulted in the ammo uncement by the agent
at indianapolis that large number of pension
ers will be compelled to wait until July for
the payment of their pensions. has been
caused by the unusually large number of
allowances made by the Pension Office under
the present administration, and particularly
since Gen. Raum's term began. The great
amount of allowances has been largely in
original cases, but the Office makes an excel
lent showing in all cases. There have
been issued already 1000 more original
pensions than were issued dur
ing the last fiscal year, and the Office has yet
months work before the end of the present
fiscal year. Another drain upon the appro-
priation was the act of March /. 1880.
which increased to s72 per month all PEN
sions for total disability-requiring the
aid and attendance OF another person. The
number OF these cases is large and involves
the expenditure of a large amount of money.
The Pension Office record for the present
hscai year will he far ahead of that for any
single fiscal year for many years.
he final payments by the pension agents
will not be completed until about June 20. and
those who have not been paid by that time will
only be compelled to wait few DAYS until the
appropriation for the next fiscal year becomes
available, on July /. when they will be paid.
