was attracted to the continued weakness
in the London stock market. where the
copper stocks were again under particular
pressure. doubtless in connection with
further sharp break in the quotations for
copper metal.
The controversy with regard to the real
state of affairs in the local copper market
continued with the most contradictory
statements current as to the true existing
coalitions. Amalgamated Copper was.
however. again weak and active feature
of the days stock market. although its
course today appeared to be due mainly to
a revision of the expectations that the
dividend rate might be advanced at next

The rather heavy tone of the general
London stock market was attributed mainly
to selling for Paris account with liquida ton

were quoted at very irregular changes in

SERVICE PENSION BILL
M'cUMBER's MEASURE PASSES
THE SENATE AFTER TWO
HOURS DEBATE.
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS ARE ADOPTED
INCLUDES SURVIVORS OF MExl-
CAN WAR AND PROHIBITS
ATTORNEYS FEES.

Washington, Jan. 12.-After two
hours debate the senate passed Sen
ator McCumber's service pension bill
without division, after amending it at
Senator Carmack's instance so as to
make it apply to survivors Of the Mex
lean war as well as to those of the
Civil war and SO as to prohibit PEN
sion attorneys from receiving fees for
securing pensions under the bill. The
words in the bill War of the Rebel
lion" were changed to Civil war"
after some discussion as. to what the
war Of 81 to "a really was. Messrs.
Money, Bacon and Patterson contend
ed that 1t was a war between the
states," while Mr.. Teller said 1t was
either civil war or rebellion and he
saw no opprobrium in the word
rebel"
The bill grants a pension of $12 a
month to survivors of the Civil and
Mexican wars who have reached the
age of sixty-two; SIS to those who
have reached seventy years of age
and $40 to those who are seventy-fve
or over.
Senator McCumber estimates that If
the bill becomes law it will increase
the pension expenditure Of the coun-
try to the extent Of about 100000
annually, while the commissioner of
pensions thinks that the increase will
be between s10,000,000 and 100000
