VOLUME OF BILLS UNPRECEDENTED
Lnraest Number of Pension Mensnres,
Both Paalle and Private, Ever

by Fifty-Seventh Congress.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, July 17. There Is prob
ably no single subject in the domain of
national legialation that appeala so strongly
to many thousands a that ot pension for
the old soldier. Notwithstanding that the
ranks of the veteran are thinning, con
treat la constantly broadening th scop
of pension legislation to Include wlthiu
the provision of It session lawa persons
who ten year ago would never have been
contemplated aa beneflrlartee ot the gen
eral government. InqUlrlea are being con
stantly received by the committee of the
aenat and house of representatlvea on
pensions as to the aenne and affect of
legislation contemplated and enacted. Pen.
ton Commissioner Ware la constantly beset
with question as to th purport of new
legislation and the newspapers of the
country are besieged by subscriber ask
ing for Information, upon this very im
portant question.
In contrast with former session the
Drat session of the Fifty-seventh congress,
which ended It labor but a fortnight
ago, stands out aa on of the busiest
congresses, so far as th history of that
body I concerned in the matter of pension
legislation.
Volant of Bill Unprecedented.
Chairman Anllnwav nf the house com
mittee on Invalid pensions la authority for
tb statement that the first session ot the
Fifty-seventh congress show the largest
number of bills, both public and private,
that were ever aent to committee In the
history of congress, waa referred to nt
committee' during th ISO days In which
congress waa In session. He says In his
statement, . made to th' house1 Just pre-
vlbu to adjournment, that there are va
rious rttiMu for this, the two chief ones.

istration of affairs In the Pension bureau
Anrtnv tha four veara cast and the fart
that a great many of th veterans of th
lvll war,, or to be exact, 107,000 in rouna
number, who were drawing pensions under
th eannral law. were induced, under a
misapprehension, to apply under the act
of Juno 17, 1890, and aa old age ana in
firmities crept upon them they found that
the $U per month which they were drawing
under the act of June 17. ISM, wa wholly
Inadequate to provide for them the neces
saries of life, and as a result, unless they
secure aid from congress, many ot them
Would be obliged to find home in alma
houses. Many of these men were formerly
drawing pension under the general law,
according to Mr, Sulloway, and had they
remained there until today they would
have been entitled to a much larger pen
sion 'than can be allowed under the act of
Juno 27, 1890.
Provision for Afflicted.
Another clas of casee which he ay
appeala to all. and which haa engrossed
tho attention ot the committee of both
bodies and tor which a larg number ot
bill ha beea passed, come right along
In these name lines. It Is the class ot
men who ar drawing $13ta month under
the act of June JT. 1890. and wfio havo
sines become totally deaf or paralyzed
and require th aid and attendance ot an
other person. Thl clasa of case has
been raised from $1J to IM or 130 per
month.
In order that thl clas ot case might
have an equal and Just rating the house
of representative passed an amendment
to tho so-called "maimed soldier act,"
giving all veterana of thla class who had a
year' service, a rating of $30 per month
where they ar o disabled aa to requlr
the aid and attendance of another person.
It Is confidently predicted that ehould thl
measure become a law It would largely
tend to reduce th passag of private acU
by eongress. and at the same time bring
needed relief to a class of veterana, many
of whom can trace, their disabilities to
th ervlce, but who, on aocount ot tech
ntcalltlea In the law and the fact that
many of their witnesses ar not living, can
not prov their claims, but would be en
titled to a rating of from $50 to $7J per
month under the general law.

BULLER CONTROVERSY AGAIN
Sir Bdwari Grey ia Hosts of Com-
saona Cnlla Up Mnttcr
Oses More.
LONDON. July 17. The Bulier contro
versy wa again raised by Sir Edward
Grey, Bart (liberal), In the House of Com
mons today on the War office vote. Sir
Edward charged the war officials with act
ing unfairly toward General Bulier and de
manded the publication ot further papers.
The war secretary, S.t. Brodrlck, op
posed further publications, which, he de
clared, could not relieve General Bulier ot
the responsibility of such mistakes aa the
abandonment of the guns at Colenso and
th proposals to surrender Ladysmlth,
Which, It they had been listened to, would
have produced a disaster for which there
was no parallel In British history. In re
gard to those propoaala, continued Mr.
Brodrlck, when Oeneral Bulier sounded
bis note of despair to General White he
had a hellogram In hi pocket, received a
fortnight ' before, saying that General
Whit jiad provisions tor seventy days and
could defend Ladysmlth while the' ' food
lasted, r General. Buller'a retention after
Colenso and Bplonkop waa Inevitable un
der the circumstances and hi appointment
to the command at Aldershot wae simply
a resumption ot hi former office. Oeneral
Bulier wa a good "peace commander."
Later Sir Edward Grey' proposed vote
ot censure of the government for It treat
ment of General Bulier wa defeated by
ti noee to 98 aye, after much speech
making. 1
Simultaneously the war office wa being
attacked ia . the House ot Lords, where
Lord Monkswell (liberal) brought up the
scathing allegation oontalned in the re
port of the committee on military educa
tion, and urged th immediate appoint
ment of aa Inspector general of army edu
cation. Lord Raglan, the under secretary
for war. and Lord Lansdowne, the foreign
secretary, defended the waa, office, saying
that a new scheme for education, contain
ing sweeping changes, was In process of
being drawn up, which statement satisfied
Lord Monkswell and his supporter and th
motion waa withdrawn.

ROME,. July 17 Father Santiago Pays,

by the correspondent of the Associated
Press ot the result of Governor Taft's
negotiation with th Vatican on th sub
ject of the friars and their lands, ex
pressed satisfaction at the acceptance of
the first proposal of Cardinal Rampolln,
the papal secretary of state, that the mat
ter be discussed at Manila ' between an
apostolic delegate ' and tbe governor in
Manila. '
When asked what was likely to be the
outcome, Father Paya replied:
It la more Important to know what will
be the outcome of the matters between
the Americana and Filipino. Although
the war ia almost over and the Filipinos
now oroteet friendship for the Americana.
they in reality dislike them Just aa they
disliked the Spaniards. The FUlplnoa say
they aid not struggle against npain, oui
refused to calmly surrender their inde
pendence. Father Paya concluded with declaring
rtiat It was not true that the people were
against th frlare. Th latter, he further
asserted, were hated oaly by the native
clergy and a fraction of th people.
