Senate passes ship canal treaty amid pension bills and adjournment
In Washington the Senate debated the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in executive session and planned a Thursday vote while approving seventy-one private pension bills, including 60 a month widows’ pensions for Gen. McClernand and Gen. Palmer. The House passed measures to divide Kentucky and West Virginia into judicial districts and to add a district judge in Ohio, with an urgent deficiency bill and retirement actions for Boutelle. President McKinley was authorized to place Boutelle on the retired navy list. The Senate later retreated to adjourn until January 3 after observing a moment of mourning for the widow of Senator Frye.
