NELSON'S PENSION
Bill SIDETRACKED.
Measure Creating Volunteer Re.
tired List for Generals Goes
Over Session.

Washington, June 22.-The senate
committee on pensions has decided not
to hold any more meetings at this SEES
sion of congress, and this sidetracks,
until next session at least, the bill to
create a volunteers retired list for
surviving generals of the volunteer
army of the civil war.
The bills, which were introduced In
the senate by Senator Knute Nelson of
Minnesota, and in the house by Repre-,
sentative Mann of Illinois, proposed to
give to twenty-five surviving generals
of the civil war over the age OF so
years, 500 a month, in lien Of the
amounts they are now receiving.
Several efforts were made to bring
the bills out Of the pension committees
of the, two houses, but opposition de,
create a precedent that might result in
the payment to every general in the
army of like pension as soon as he
reaches the age Of 80 years. In tho
event that it was desired to specially
reward the men named in the bill, the
pension committee argued that it would
be better to pass individual measures. .
The senate bill has been considered
by the committee on military affairs,
but no action was taken toward recon-
mending its passage. The generals
named in the bill, together with their
ages and the amount Of pension they
now receive, are as follows:
William Birney, So years, $12; julius
stahl,, 80 years, s75; Thomas NJ. Ha x
years, $50; John Cook, 81, $50: Thomas
J. Lucas, so, 500; Frank s. Nickerson.
