mo " a eo Al PENSION BILL PASSED. After Fiye Ways D-bate the House Disposes of It With out Division. Washington, D U., March 7.—Af ter five days of debate appropriation bili 000,000 passed this afternoon with« out division. Throughout the de- bate tuere had been the amount carried the peusion carrying bo criticism of by the bil, de bate being contiued on the one band to an assauit upon the manuer which the previous commissioner of pen sions had administered the office, and his alleged unauthorized sus pension of pensions, and on the oth er to a defense of the attempt of the commissioner to purge the rolls of those who were not entitled to pen To day there very spirited speeches, those by General Henderson of Iowa, Mr. sions. were several O'Neill in closing the debate aud ex- | speaker Grow All the amendments to the bill save one, that of Mr. Pickler, to make the reports of the examining surgeous open to the in- spection of the applicant or his at torueys, were defeated. They ail fell under points of order that they were not germane. The one which attracted most at tention was that of Mr. Euloe, to repeal a portion of the provision in- eluded in the act of last December to prevent the suspension of any pension except on thirty days’ notice so as to permit the in case of plain prima facie evidence that the pensioner had procured his pension by forgery, perjury or other palpable frauds. This amendment was offered at the suggestion of Commissioner Lochren himself, who under the opinion of the attorney geceral declares if the act of last December stood, over $500,000 would have to be paid out to sus- pended peusioners who were beyond all question, not to be longer entitled to the pensions they have been drawe ing. Mr. Outhwaite, the chairman of the committee of the whole, how ever, ruled the amendment out on Mr. Martin’s point of order that it was not germane. Mr. Stockdale (democrat) of Mis- sissippi supported the pension poli cy of Commissioner Lochren and the president. They were trying, he said, to rid the roll of the camp fol lowers, and coftee coolers, and de serters in order to make it an his toric and honored roll of the nation’s defenders. Mr. Johnson (republican) of Indi ana made a vigorous onslaught on the policy of Secretary Smith and Commissioner Lochren. He review ed what he called wholesale suspen sions made. After a brief speech by Mr. Thom- as (republican) Mr Springer (democrat) of Illinois took the floor in defense of tho policy of the pen- sion office. He wanted to know why Illinois, having more population than Ohio, had but 68,000 pension ers receiviug $11,019,000, while Ohio had 102,981 pensioners receiv ing $17,326,000. In Indiana $900,- 000 was distributed to the congres- sional district; Ohio $855,000, while in Illinois but $500,000 was distributed to the district. He at tributed this state of affairs to the fact the vension office had been made a political machine by the re- publican party, Illinois was certain for the republican party, while Indi- ana and Obio were doubtful. Pen- sion cases were settled in the doubt- ful states, while those from one solid state were pigeen-holed. Mr. O'Neill (dem.) of Massachu- setts, who was in charge of the bill, closed the debate. No amendments looking to an increase of the appro- priation had been suggested, he said. The debate had been merely for po litical effect. The republicans, as they saw the limit of pensions was soon to be reached, realized that their stock in trade would cease when they could no longer go be- fere the country crying out they had inereased the number of pen- sions. In concluding, Mr. O'Neill warned the republicans they were in a poor business when they discred- ited General Black and Commission- er Lochren in the eyes of the old soldiers. Neither could they dis- credit the president with the Ameri- can people. They had absolute faith in his honesty. his pluck and his courage.
