SUB OF THE Pension REPORT.
Complaint That the Spirit OF the Law of
1890 Is Tsein. Violated.

ASSO Is EelnS violated
The greatest secrecy is being main
tanned in regard to the report of the
committee on pensions. 1t is known,
however, that the report begins with
an exhaustive review of the history of
pension legislation and the causes lead
ing up to the present pension system and
methods. The report goes on to say
that the veterans rightfully demand
the fulfillment of a solemn compact
made when they manfully and bravely
gave all they had TO the country, not
counting the cost to themselves The
report then cites the conditions when
in 1890 congress passed the act to pro-
vide relief for disabled veterans and
their widows and orphans, not condi-
toned upon evidence that they were
disabled while in the service.
This act was intended to meet the
needs of veterans who in advancing
years could not furnish evidence that
they were suffering from the hardships
of army life. 1t was claimed that the
original construction of this law was
abrogated in 1898 by most unjust and
arbitrary rulings of the pension COM
missioner and in the ruling that wild
ows of veterans who applied for pen
sions were not eligible if they had an
income aggregating IS per month The
committee, the report continues. waited
upon the secretary of the interior, COM
missioner of pensions, and finally on
President Mckinley to point out the
injustice of those rulings. and eX-
pressed confident belief that the pres
ident will take measures to bring about
a different ruling in the near future.
The committee has asked that the
limit of income TO debar widows from
pensions shall be placed at not less
than $3.50 year, and ahat the obnox-
ious rule requiring negative evidence

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE national
G.. A. r. encampment met in executive
session at 11:00 a. m. yesterday. The
delegates did not hold the customary
open meeting, owing to the large
amount of business to be transacted.
The encampment is made up of 344
delegates from the various states and
territories, $50 department officers, Ill
national officers and past command
ers-in-chief, and 6S3 past department
commanders, the total voting strength
being 1852. The opening address was
made by Senior Vice Commander-in-
Chief w. c. Johnson, who said regard
ing pensions that THE old soldiers ask
only that there be fair dealing and Il
just and fair construction of the laws,
as intended by those who enacted them.
and upon this basis there should be
no question. no Interpretation or con-
struction of the laws, that depriyes
them of the benefits thus provided"

Next Encampment at Chicago.
The first business after the noon re-
cess was the selection of a place for
the next encampment. and Chicago was
chosen by acclamation. The report of
the committee on pensions was then
read and a motion was made to refer
it TO the committee on resolutions.
This created much discussion many of
the delegates favoring the immediate
adoption of a resolution covering the
subjects mentioned in the report. The
Michigan delegation was the first to
object to the report on the ground that
If failed to specify what the Grand
Army wanted. They were supported
by Indiana, Kansas and New York.
After discussion lasting nearly four
hours the report was referred back to
the committee on pensions with in
structions that il be presented at to-
days session embodying recommended
