FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, May 6.
gEEATE

Rev. DR.. Teuuis, pastor OF the Church
of the Covenant, this city, in the Sen
ate prayed That victory might be given
to the army and navy of the United
States.
In requesting conference upon a
pension bill Mr.. Gallinger, chairman of
of the pension committee, said that the
House had tacitly adopted rule that
in cases where the widow of general
officer had no pensionable status in the
pension department no pension ex-
ceeding $50 month would be granted,
but in such cases where pension was
already being received the pension
might be increased to $50 month.
Mr.. Gallinger made the statement, he
said, in order that the Senate might
realiza the futillty of pressing for pen
sions of $75 or 500 month.
The consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bill was resumed, the
pending question being upon the
amendment providing for a reduction
of 20 per cent. in the amount paid to
railroads for the transportation of the
mails.
Mr.. Quay said the amount paid for
the transportation of mail by railroads
was much less in proportion than that
paid for the transportation of freight or
express matter.
After the reading Of the statements
by the clerk Mr.. Quay said the adop-
ton of Mr.. Pettigrew's amendment
would result in reducing the compen-
sation of the railroads $6,000,000 with
out any evidence as to the results or
righteousness Of the action. He main
tanned that the investigation authorized
by the pending bill ought to be made
before any action was taken.
Mr.. Pettigrew supported his amend
ment. He said that the statements
presented by Mr.. Quay were purely
ex parte in their nature. He charged
that ex-Second Assistant Postmaster
General Nelson was only creature of
the railroads and that he had worked
in the interest of the railroads. The
present second assistant Postmaster
General, Mr.. Shallenberger, he de-
clared, had been captured by the
clerks beneath him-clerks who were
put into the department when railroad
officials were at the head of it.
