THE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL.
The Report Again Discussed and Again
Goes Over.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-Mr. Davis
presented the conference report OH the
dependent pension bill, and at the re-
quest of Mr.. Cullom proceeded to eN-
plain it. As to the question of depend
ent parents, he said that all the change
made by the bill from existing law was
that whereas existing law required de-
pcndcncy to exist at the time of the
soldiers death, the pending measure
merely required dependency at the time
of the application.
Mr. EdmundS inquired what was the
pension of dependent parents.
Mr.. Davis replied that it was the
same as under the existing law. He
went ON to say that the House subSti-
tutc had contained provision for SER
vice pensions for the benefit of all who
had reached the age OF 60 years.
That had been the substantial point
of difference between The confcrccS. As
the result of such discussion, and con
siderable alteration, that feature of
the bill had been entirely eliminated
and the conferces had agreed to strike
out the words "and vino are dependent
on their daily labor, ol on the cOntribu-
tions of Others not }agally bound To
their support.
The Senate bill, he said, had fixed the
rate of pensions unqualiliedly at Sl2 Il
month, but the conferccS had changed
that and agreed to pension not exceed
ing Sl2, and not less than 81.
As to widow and minor children, the
provision of the Senate bill had been
substantially pension to the widow OF
not less than Sl2 month irrespective
of the cause of the soldiers death
whether attributable to the service or
not. That provision had been the subject
of much discussion in conference and the
result had been combination Of both
the Senate and the House provisions.
Mr.. Plumb suggested that the matter
should lie over until the report was
printed-with the bill, As it would be
if the report was agreed TO.
Mr.. Davis gave his consent, but said
he would have to be absent part Of next
week.
Mr.. German asked Mr.. Davis TO make
a statement rs to the probable cost OF
the bill.
Mr. Davis said that when the bill
was first before the Senate he had cStl-
mated its cost at at SO, sos, 900. He
thought that the changes made would
add about $1,000 600 to the cost. His
opinion was that the bill would add
between 81. 900, 600 and 81. .000,0 600 Il
year to the present cost of pensions.
Mr. Davis said he would not under
take to make out "bill of particulars
He thought his estimate Of 81, ,00O.0O
was as high as the cost would reach.
He should not be surprised if it fell
largely below that sum, or if it cN-
cccdcd it considerably.
The report went over and was ordered
printed with the bill as agreed to by
the conference.

WHEELING WINS.
\ Seven Inning Game on the Island Park,
Yesterday.

The Akrons. the leaders in the Tri-
State League, made their first appear
ance on the Island Park yesterday after.
noon, and the home team turned in and
won Il very nice and comparatively easy
victory from them.
The Wheeling had the strongest
team in that she has had since the sea-
son-opened, and they all had on their
batting clothes. so that the visitors We're
kept chasing the leather at a pretty
lively rate. Their fielding in most cases
was very good, and they have very
strong team.
The home boys, hewever, solved Van
dommele's curves ia handsome man
ner, and he didn't strike out one man.
Sawyer put up a splendid game for
Wheeling, and the visitors made but
three hits. His only fault was still a
little wildness, giving three men bases
on balls, hitting two and making wild
pitch.
There wasn't much excitement in the
game but it was. interesting. so that,
when in the last half of the eighth an
Akron man was on second and one man
out, the rain fell in goodly quantity and
Umpire JamiSon called time, those
present were somewhat disappointed.
But the rain continued TO come down,
and the game was called, leaving the
score to 3 in favor of Wheeling. by
the loss of yesterdays game Akron is
pulled out of first place. and Wheeling
is mighty near the top.
Following is the official score:
