elaborate speech, in which he will re-
view the testimony and make an effort
to have the Senate reverse the Com
mittee of Military Affairs by passing
the Senator's bill providing for the
enlistment Of the men who lost their
places as the result of the Presidents
order.
The question once opened there will
be probably several speeches on 1t.
There are several appropriation bills
before the Senate, but they are all in
committee, where for various reasons
they have been kept for some time.
These include agricultural the post
office and the pension bills. The latter
has been held for some time in the
Committee on Pensions. to await the
outcome of the conference between the
two houses on the bill increasing to
s12 per month the pensions OF widows.
If this legislation is enacted. and there
is no doubt 1t will be in some form, 1t
will be necessary for the Senate to
add from s12.ooo.0o0 to s14.o00,0oo to
the bill as it passed the House.
The total will thus be forced to a
figure beyond s16o.oo0,0Oo. the largest
sum ever carried by pension bill.
