The Pension Appro

No More Firy Pension Dis
cussions. The Roll of Honor !Has Reached its
Maximum.
Iljr Aaaoctutail l'r to th Journal.
Washington. Dec. 15 Tho ways
ind means committee of the house
lius agreed today to atluot the resolu
tion for u holiday recess from Wed
nesday, December 21, to Wcduislay,
January 4.
Washington, Dec. 15. In house
today, Republican, Darncy, of Wls
consln, In chargo of tho Benson ap
propriation bill called up the measure
and mudo u general explanation of
Us provisions.
There-was no further debate upon
the bill. It was mudc though without
a word of criticism and passed, wholo
time occupied In Its consideration
being less than twenty minutes. This
Is tho shortest time on record for a
general puuslon bill. The bill carries
$145,233,80.
Allen, Dom., of Mississippi In, reply
to Harney, called attention to tho fact
that 14 years ago a pension appropria
tion bill Invariably precipitated a
bloody shirt discussion and ho con
gratulated tho country that tho con
grcss had progressed since then and
there would bo no acrimonious dis
cussion on tho bill. The country had
the gratifying Information that the
pension roll had reached Its maximum.
"I congratulate tho country,'' said
Alton, "tliiit while ono of the most
gallant and doscrutveg soldiers of tho
confederacy (hliuMjlf) helped to re
port this bill, tho prcsl dedut or tho
United States Is down In Dixie
doing honor to tho confederate dead.
Wo all have cause to rejoice."
(Laughter and applause.)
Washington, Dec. 15. In tho sen-
ato Morgan presented a memorial
rrom the national board oi trade
favorable to tho construction or the
Nicaragua canal, asking that tho doc
ument bo printed In tho record.
Allen objected aod tho obectlon pro
voked an animated discussion, Involv
ing tho rules of tho senate as well as
tlm wisdom of tho construction of the
canal. Morgan designated tho objec
tion as an effort to obstruct legisla
tion on tho canal and prevent tho
country's securing Information on tho
subject. Allen resented this Imputa
tion, sayittg he was favorable to the
canal on general principle?, though
advocating govornmont ownership.

thut echoed nnd re-echoed throughout
