Senate debates pension rules and a yellow fever case
In Washington the senate discussed private pension bills with tight scrutiny, noting no pension over 59 dollars monthly for a general officer’s widow. The case of Dr. Lazeare, inoculated for yellow fever in Cuba, was raised to question a widow’s pension, but no decision was reached and officials suggested no pensionable status. Several bills passed, including tax and medal provisions, while pensions faced renewed checks under new rules.
