WASHINGTON , Mav is. [ Special Tele-
grain. ] Senator Van VVyck made a strong
sncccli In tlio senate tills afternoon lit sup-
| ioit of Ills proposed amendment to the gen
eral iicnslou bill now pending. The bill pio-
poses to give to nil who served six months or
nioie In the service otthu union In the late
war , who am now dependent upon their own
labor Tor support mid who nro disabled from
nny cause whatever , n pension In accordance
with the disability , but not to e.\cced 5-4 n
month. The pension ahull bo lated by exam
ination as now.
Mr. Van Wyck's amendment pioposes to
make the pension unlfoimly S3 n month.
Ho objects to the system of grading pensions -
sions which would ncciuo under the til 11 , and
thinks a uniform iat will in the Ion ; , ' run bo
moiu just , llo urged concurs to pension
these men and pension them at onceand not
wall till nil who fought for the pioservatlon
of the union ha\o passed beyond the Hood of

There arc many men who gave peed and
faithful sjivico to their country , who having
bceome disabled by accident , sickness and
vai Ions 'causes since the close of the war
aie objects of chailty on account ot such dts-
ahility.iiml yet they can't bo DPiisloncil under
the existing laws , because their disability
was not Inclined In the line of action and In
connection with the war. The.se ho would
now help in lecogtiition oC their allegiance to

weionot , as icquiied by existing law , de
pendent upon the ton at the time of the ser
vice. He did not think the number ot per
sons to be added to the pension loll , under

Mr. Logan did not think it would amount
to mole than one-halt of that number , as it
lelatedonlv to persons who had not heicto-
toio been able to get pensions.
Mr. Blair did not believe the amount of

dlil not believe the union soldleia wanted this

Mr. Logan said ho would , at thejaproper
time , move that no pension heieafter paid to
any soldier should be less Jtiian tSa month.
