HACKING AT The PENSIONS.
THE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE WILL TRY TO Crrr
DOWN THE UNION SOLDIERS

Washington Jan. o5 (specla).-The anxiety Of the
Democrats In Congress 70 cut down the Union soldiers
and sailors pension roll has found expression in the
decision Of the subcommittee which has charge Of the
Pension Appropriation bill to recommend some radical
changes In the existing laws one Of these is that
person not q citizen OF the United States and living
In a foreign country shall receive pension unless
he is suffering from physical disability. Another
provision recommended Is that no person able
a living by manual labor otherwise, whose in
from any source IS 5000 year or more, shall
receive pension under the Dependent Pension act
OF June. 1900. This provision, OF course. will not
AFFECT pensioners Of the Mexican Indian wars, no
matter how large thor incomes may be-
Another provision is that widow who married
to a veteran OF the since 1870 shall receive
pension. Another provision aboshes all pension
agencies and requires pensioners TO be paid by checks
issued I'm Washington. II is also recommended that
the Speaker Of the House OF Representatives be author
lied TO appoint a commission 10 be composed OF Repre-
scntatveseect to the LID Congress to consider tho
subject OF pension legislation and the methods and
practice OF the Tension Bureau In the adjudication Of
claims.
The Pension Appropriation bill saddIed with the
foregoing amendments passed tho Subcommittee to-
day by party vote the Republican members. General
Grout, OF Vermont. and General Bingham. OF Pennsy
vanla, voting against IL. At least one Democratic
member Of the subcommittee. Mr.. Mutchler. OF Penn.
sylvana Is in favor Of the transfer OF tho Pension
Bureau TO the War Department. Whether all the
amendments proposed by the subcommittee Will be
approved by the full committee remains TO be seen
II is understood that Chairman Holman and one other
Democratic member are opposed TO several OF the
amendments. especially those Affecting widows md
pensioners under the Dependent act OF 1e9O. Mr..
ONeill. Of Massachusetts. who drew tho principal
estimates nt az al Of then hen o 10 adopted
made Tn. amendment IN regard TO pensions OF non
resident aliens, y adopted. as seems to be rather
probable. will reduce the annual pension payments
