HIGHER THAN THE CAPITOL
Bill Reported for the Biggest Bridg;
in America.
Longest Span and Highest Towers
" Ever Built Is to Cross the
Detroit River.

Senator Vest has reported to the Senate
from the Committee on Commerce a bill
to provide for the construction of a bridge
across the Detroit river between Detroit,
Mich, and Windsor. Canada. The Detroit
river, the strait that connects the upper
and lower lakes, is at this point the
scene of as busy n river traffic as exists
anywhere in the world.
As the stream is not now bridged the
railroad traffic between the United States
and Canada at this point is carried back
ward and forward by car ferries, OF which
there are seven, carrying about 100000
cars and 100000 passengers yearly. as
the Baltimore and Ohio road did across
the Bay at Baltimore prior to the con-
struction or the great tunnels.
The bill provides that the structure
shall have an elevation OF 40 feet above
mean low water, while the foundations
are TO go down To bedrock 102 feet below
the surface OF the water. The bridge
towers will rise above the surface OF the
water to greater height than the top
OF the statue of Liberty which surmounts
the Dome of the Capitol.
There will be three spans. the central
OF / i 80 feet, and one on each side of this
OF 521 feet each. A drawing filed with
the papers relating to the bridge shows tie
structure with the Capitol set in the middle
OF the central span. There is a clear
space between the ends of the Capitol and
the piers on either hand Of nearly 200 feet.
while the towers stand above the statue on
the dome 10y distance equal to the height
of the statue itself.
The bridge is TO be erected by n corpora
tiOn known as the Michigan Central Bridge
Company, organized under the laws of
Michigan, and is TO be constructed without
expense To the United States. 1t is under
stood | hat the ccutralspan will be the longest
In the country. The plan has been recon-
mended by the chief OF United States
engineers and approved by the Secretary of
War, but are subject TO change at the Secre-
tary's order at the companys expense.

NOW ON The PENSION BILL
Mr. Picker Reports the Genar;
Measure to the House.
He Explained It's Provisions and the
Necessities for Changes Caused
by Recent Rulings.

Inc House yesterday began the con-
sidefalioh OF the general pension bill
reported by the Committee on Invalid
Pensions.
Mr. Pickler explained its provisions and
us necessity, under the rulings OF the
present administration OF the Pensi on
Bureau
lis principal provisions are Giving
q pensionable status to soldiers holding
All honorable discharge from the Union
A rmy, Notwithstanding prior service in the
confederate service; directing that no
pension shall be Discontinued or reduced
except for fraud, clerical error, mistak.
or fact or recovery from dsa hility: allow
ing claimants charged with fraud TO con-
rront their accuscrs; aboliShing the dis
hnction between the oath of an officer
and that or an enlisted man; forhdding
mat claim shall be rejected becaue or
claimants inability to furnish more than
Que credible witness to any material fact
permitting a claimant or his attorney to see
any paper on file regarding his case: estab-
fishing al Il rule OF the office, the common
law rule for proving MARRIAGE fixing for
pensionable purposes abe date ofthe terrnn-
atloH OF the war, in accordance with the
| proclamation or The president and ruling
OF The Supreme Court. giving pensiOnable
status under the law OF $50 TO a claimant
honorably discharged after ninety DAYS
service, twithstanding II prior desertion
ordishono orabic discharge, and ma kingdeath
in service. unless for or in violation of
law, equivalent To an honorable discha rye:
ii king $500 rs TIE maximum annual income
Il widow may have and still have pension
able status under theia act OF 1890.
Mr. Picker occupied two hours and
half in ma king his speech. The intent of
The bill. lie said, was TO fix and determine
certain controvcrted questions which had
arisen In the administra ton OF the Pension
Bureau. so as to- prevent Secretaries of
The Interior and Pension Commissioners
from undoing the work and revising the
rulings OF their predecessors. The debate
is likely TO continue throughout the week.
The section in the bill fixing the dates
OF the closing OF the war and giving q
pensionable status to soldier holding
an honorable discharge after ninety DAYS
service, Notwithstanding a previous de-
Sertion or dishonorable discharge us ex-
planned by Mr.. Picker. awakened some
criticism by Republican MEMBERS indicat-
ing that they would oppose them. In the
course OF colioquy on the latter section,
Mr. Steele, Rep, Indiana. stated that he
had had occasion to investiga te the
record OF some bounty jumpers and found
that one man had enlisted forty-one times
the same day in New York city.

TWO PENSION VETOES
Senntors II Little Nettled at the Presi.
dents Action

The veto of President Cleveland to the
bill pensioning Mrs. Peter ii. AllabaCk was
read in the Senate Yesterday. The ma N
ground for 1t was that the pension la Ws
make provision for such cases and to grant
Il pension by special bill would open tie
door To unlimited applications and to the
granting Of numerous pensions OF this
kind.
When the question of passing the bill
over the veto was presented Mr. Gailnger
said that Mr.. AllabaCk was at on e time chief
of police of this Capitol, sa W service and was
entitled at any time after bis discharge
to pension. He declined To apply for q
pension and went to lis death without
the allowance that was justly due hiAs.
His widow is now in needy circumstances
and Is entitled to the pension granted.
He would not, however, press the bill no W
but ask the reference OF the message to the
Pensions Committee.
The veto of Chales L. Jones a nhot0p-
rapher who saw actual military service
but wasnotan enlisted man, ba sed on similar
grounds, Mr.. .Gallnger read report sho wing
that Jones was blind from gunshot wound
received While taking Photographic vie ws
of Longstreet's Notifications.
Mr.. Palmer said man who voluntarily
gave his service TO the government, though
not enlisted, was morally entitled t. a
pension.
