DOLLAR A DAY PENSIONS IN SIGHT.

The Sherwood dollar a day pension bill, modified to give ninety-day men Sls, six months men S2O, nine months men $25 and one year and over soldiers S3O a month, has been approved by the invalid pensions committee by a vote of seven to four. Four votes cast for other bills. The bill has a disability clause and takes care of the disabled or wounded at a dollar a day, even if they did not serve ninety days. General Burdett, chairman of the pension committee, fully approves of the principle of the bill.
