NO PENSIONS FOR DAUGHTERS.
MIR. GnllinEer Tells the Senate That would
Cost billions Instead or Millions.

MIR. GnllinEer Tells the Senate That Would
Cost Billions Instead or Millions.
WARRINGTON, Jan. lin the Senate this
morning Mr.. Gallinger REP, N. H. Chairman
of the Committee on Pensions, reported back
adversely a bill to grant q pension of 800 a
month each to the two daughters Of Major.
Gen. Meade. and moved that 1t be postponed
indefinitely.
Objection was made by Mr.. Allen Pop, Neb)
who thought that the bill should 60 to the cal.
endar and be open to discussion and action by
the Senate.
Mr.. Gallinger said he had no objection to
that. The Committee on Pensions, he said,
was not in favor OF pensioning daughters under
any circumstances. He knew that a few
daughters of soldiers of the Revolutionary
war and of the war Of 1912 had been pensioned
and also daughters OF soldiers of the late war
who were incapacitated physically and men,
tally. If the experiment of pcnsiuning the
daughters of Gen. Meade were entered on, the
daughters of every other officer and soldier
would ask pensions.
Mr.. Allen suggested that the daughter of Gen.
Philip Kearny had been pensioned. He ad-
hercd to the doctrine of absolute equality be-
tween soldiers and their children, regardless
of rank. but here was the case OF a soldier who
had performed remarkable service. 1t was
very doubtful whether If Gen. Meade had not
been at Gettysburg when that great battle
was fought this country would have O united
Government to-day.
Mr.. Gallinger repeated that he had no OBJ
lection to the bin going to the calendar but he
wanted to say to the Senate. and to the coun:
try. that IL Congress entered on the matter of
pensioning daughters of the soldiers of.the late
war, not millions. but billions, would be re-
quircd to meet those obligations.
The bill was placed on the calendar.
AT half past l the Senate went into execu-
tive session upon the Hawaiian treaty. AT 2
o'clock so few Senators were in the Chamber
that the absence of a quorum, which was only
too apparent. was suggested. Forty.lve Sena-
tors-a sufficient number-answered to their
names, and the discussion of the treaty was
continued. Senator Davis, Chairman Of the
Foreign Relations Committee, in charge Of tho
treaty opened the debate. He spoke nearly two
hours without concluding his remarks. and the
Senate then adjourned until tomorrow. His
speech was very able. carefully prepared, and
received the close attention of Senators on both
sides Of tho hambe 1t was largely devoted
to the citation OF presidents in the history
of the United States for tho proposed annex
alton OF the islands and in quoting the views Of
Marcy. Webster and others outlining the future
policy of this country as embracing the action
contemplated. He also urged the ratification Of
the treaty for commercial and strategic rea-
sons. and maintained that such u step was clear-
ly in line with the Monroe doctrine.
