Number OF Amendments to BE offered
TO Pension RilI When III Cnnes LIN

A Number OF Amendments to BE Offered
to Pension Bill when 1t Comes Up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The House APP
pron-iations committee met last evening
and the fight for new pension policy
was renewed by Mr.. O'Neil of Massachu-
setts and others. By yea and nay vote
the committee decided to report mum Der
OF amendments TO be offered to the pen
sion bill when it comes up.
Under one OF these the bureau with al
Its records aud employees, except the com
missioner and two deputies, will be trans
ferred to the record and pension division
OF the war department, with power in the
President to designate an officer to act as
head with the rank and pay OF a colonel.
The President shall also designate two
army officers, TO rank as captains, to ac
as first and second deputy commissioners
OF pensions.
Another one provides that hereafter DO
widow who married a soldier of the late
war shall receive a pension where she
married the soldier more than five year,
after his discharge, thus making it apply
not only to the war of the rebellion, but
also to Indian and all other wars.
Another amendment excludes from
pensions under the disability act, all per.
sons not disabled from manual labor ano
who have an income OF more than 5000
year. Another amendment adopted pro-
vldes that 1.-THE rating Of pensions for the
same class of pensioners for like disabil
ties shall be uniform, and all pensions
heretofore or hereafter granted in pur-
suance of the dependent and disability
act, shall be rated upon the inability OF
the pensioner to earn a living by manual
labor" The object of this amendment Is
to correct the inequalities which have
arisen in the administration OF the laws.
The present boards of medical examin-
ers are abolished and are TO be recon
stituted with one member each, instead
OF three as at present.
