West Pushes Pensions Reform and Canal Treaty Change
Senator West of Missouri introduces a joint commission to investigate wartime contract charges with Spain and criticizes pension bill procedures. He urges thorough consideration and cites $141 million annual pension outlays. The Senate also moves to abrogate or modify the Clayton Bulwer treaty to allow interoceanic canal ownership. The urgent deficiency bill for military and naval needs passes the House largely without opposition, with debates on volunteer mustering and defense funding.
