Ju3t before the Senate passed the regular pension ap- - propriation bill, which" carries 1145,000,000, Mr. Gorman made a speech, calling attention to the fact that although it was estimated that that the war with Spain would add 60,000 names to the pension roll, aniess our troops were recalled from the tropics before the sickly season, : no provision, whatever, had been made in the bill for the ' increase.
