Special.?-The Senate committee

report, upon the l?i!l
which was introduced by Senator

Tillman of South Carolina in the
Senate a few days a>_'o to provide
an increase -in Mexican pensions

of Senator Tillman has the sup- !

(luring ttic present Congress
at least, in view of the unfavorable
report which has been
submitted, of anv action looking
to tin increase being taken in this

direction,
The committee on pensions has
also reported a bill which is somewhat
similar to that of Senator
Tillman's, which was introduced
ny Senator McLaurin, and which
provides for making the widow's
pension on account of the Mexican
war, fit? per month. The in
crease# provided for by the two
bill# of the South Carolina Senators,
if granted, would make the
pensions identical with those i
granted to persons on account of
the late war between the States.
