SENATE PASSES
PENSION BILL
General Age and Service Law
Will Increase Rolls by $20,-
100000 Annually.

Washington. March 20 The Senate to-
night by a vote Of 81 to 40 rejected the
Sherwood dollar-a day pension bill which
had passed the House and then adopted,
ID to L.. the Smoot general age and serv-
ice pension law which, IT Is estimated,
will increase the pension roll BY so OD, OOo
annually during the next five years.
During the debate Senator Overmans
reference to the burdens OF the southern
people because Of pension legislation,
brought tart reply from Senator Will
liam Alden Smith of Michigan.
II remind the senator that this entire
pension burden could have been avoided
by the South II II had been loyal to the
union" said he. II cannot remain silent
and hear senators from the South COM
plain of burdens our government has been
called upon to bear because of your own
unwilingness to live with us under the

You have taken care of your own
''ldiers In the South but the record
Of senators in war on either side
would be more luminous and credi-
table If they could treat their foes
with the same generosity and kind
ness"
The bill requires beneficiaries TO
have served 80 days and provides PEN
sions ranging from $13 to $40 a month,
instead of a 60-day minimum and SIS
to $50 pension ms in the House meas
ure. The bill now goes to the confer

would grant $50 month to former SOL
diers disabled by service. wounds or dis
ease. the latter being estimated to add S.

AL.ASKA'S WARM WAVE.
Territory IN Having the Most Agree
able Winter In Its History.
(From the New York Sur


1t has been reported from Alaska for
some time that the territory Is having
the warmest winter in its history. Hy-
acinths and tulips are in bloom at Juneau,
no snow has fallen there since Christmas.
the mean January temperature was four
degrees above the freezing point. and the
lack of snow highways for dog teams Is
embarrassing. According to Washington
dispatches Capt, Henry S. Knapp of the
photographic office believes that the
warm waters Of the Japan current are
now striking Alaska In the neighborhood
of juneau. and this fact. he thinks. Is
helping 10 moderate the temperature of
the territory.
This explanation of the warm spell in
Alaska Is behind the times, according to
nleteOrolosists in this city. They say that
no competent schoolma am tells her geog-
raphy class that the shores OF Alaska
are ever warmed by the Japan current.
The current IL very interesting river
in the ocean, but il never reaches the
American coast.
The japanese name for the current ia
Kuro Sivo. which means blue salt. "
Passengers from San Francisco or VAN
couver can Distinctly see this ocean
stream as they CROSS 1t, a few hundred
miles to the east Of Yokohama. 1t Is
very blue and very warm. for the waters
composing it have been blown across the
wide Pacific In the northern part OF the
equatorial regions by the persistent north
east trade winds.
This north equatorial current pouring
westward across the Pacific finally reach
es the region OF the north-south current
caused by the monsoon winds and Is thus
detected to the north becomes the Kuro
Slvo. and AZ it passes Japan II Is sep
arated from those islands by a wide belt
of cool water. II IS gradually turned
eastward AS it gets into the belt of the
westerly winds.
but the kuro avo Is finally lost In the
waste of waters. II cannot be traced
further north than about N degrees north
latitude nor further east than the 10th
ana l6oth meridians, This is the end OF
