The bill to increase the pensions of Bpanish War veterans passed the Senaie April 1 and passed ‘the House of Repre- sentatives last Monday. The Senate approved Senate bill 476, all of the pro- visions of which were stricken out in the House and an entirely new bill sub- stituted. The bill now goes to confer- ence, where differences between the two houses will be adjusted. ‘The measure has many new features and should immediately provide relief for approximately 114,000 veterans of the War with Spain, the Philippine in- surrection and the China Relief Expe- dition. The rates allowed for disability are: Twenty dollars a month when the veteran is one-tenth disabled, $25 a month when one-fourth disabled, $35 a month when one-half disabled, $50 & month when three-fourths disabled and $60 a month when the veteran is totally disabled. When the veteran re- quires the regular aid and attendance of another person he will receive $72 & month. The rates of pension based on age also provide $30 a month when the vet- eran is 62 years of age, $40 a month when 68 years of age, $50 a month when | 72 years and $60 a month when the veteran reaches the age of 75 years. A further provision of section 1 of the bill has a proviso that the same provisions are extended to the nurses, chief nurses or superintendent of the Nurse Corps under contract between April 21, 1898, and February 2, 1901. Section 3 of the bill presents new benefits which are extended to the vet- erans of the War with Spain, the Phil- ippine Insurrection or the China Relief Expedition who served 70 days or more and were honorably discharged therc- from. In view of the fact that it has shortened the service, it was deemed proper to provide an entire new rate of pension for disability, which ranges from $12 to $30 a month, proportioned to the degree of inability to earn a sup- rt and for the attained ages as fol- lows: Twelve dollars a month when the veteran reaches the age of 62 years, $18 & month when he reaches 68 years, $24 8 month at 72 years and $30 a month at 75 years. This section has a proviso that the same provisions are extended to the nurses, chief nurses or superin- tendent of the Nurse Corps under cor- tract betwesn April 21, 1898, and Feb- ruary 2, 1901. ‘The Richard J.
