W., WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Senator out of the sails of all Republican leaders Hanna to-day took the wind vote of the South in the national conven- tion by introducing a bill in the Senate to pension all former slaves. “If Uncle Mark Hanna is not a candi- date for the Presidency,” said Represent- | ative Bartlett of Georgia to-night, he had | is sald, gives | gned to the command of the Department | | | | | better take in his sign.” | The bill provides that former slaves more than 70 years of age shall receive a bounty of $500 and a pension of $15 a ! month; those between 60 and 0 years of age shall have a bounty of $300 and a pen- | sion of $12 a month; those between 3 and | 60 years of age shall receive a bounty of | $100 and a pension of $8 a month, and those less than 50 years of age shall be en- titled to receive $4 & month until they are | 50 years of age, when they shall receive $8 & month. | Senator Hanna has marked upon the | bill “By request,” which is generally em- | ployed by statesmen when they are du- | blous about standing sponsor for a meas- | ure they have introduced. Senator Mason of Illinois introduced the | same bill two years ago and at one time | or another Republicans have stood spon- sor for similar measures. None of these gentlemen have ever entertained the de- | lusion that the bill could by any possible | means become a law, nor does Senator | Hanna. That it will stir up a warm and friendly feeling among former slaves and their descendants may, however, be among the calculations of the Sepator | who at present fathers it. It will also| make the race feeling more intense in the | South. i A. deputation of negroes went to the| ‘White House several weeks ago to obtain from President Roosevelt his indorsement of this slave-pension proposition. The President declined so emphatically that the leaders of the deputation went from the White House swearing vengeance upon President Roosevelt and declaring that they could ¢ atrol 300 votes in the close States of the North which would be thrown against Roosevelt if he were the Republican candidate in 1904. Pension Commissioner Ware to-night | expressed the strongest approval of the Hanna bill, declaring that it was prac- ticable.
