Senate Rejected the Sherwodd Pension Bill—Passed Smoot Law.
The senate Friday night, by a vote of 46 to 21, rejected the Sherwood dollar-a-day pension bill which had passed the bouse, and then adopted, 56 to 16, the Smoot general age and service pension law, which, it is estimated, will increase the pension roll by 120,000,006 annually during the next five years.
