U.S. GRANT.
WASHINGTON, _February 24, 1877_.

Representatives of the 25th ultimo, a report from the Secretary of
State, with accompanying papers.[123]
U.S. GRANT.
[Footnote 123: Correspondence, etc., connected with the agency of A.B.
Steinberger in the Samoan Islands.]
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _February 26, 1877_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I have the honor to return herewith Senate bill No. 234, entitled "An
act to allow a pension of $37 per month to soldiers who have lost both
an arm and a leg." Under existing law soldiers who have lost both an
arm and a leg are entitled to draw a monthly pension of $18. As the
object of this bill is to allow them $18 per month for each of these
disabilities, or $36 in all, it is returned simply for an amendment of
title which shall agree with its provisions. When this shall have been
done, I will very gladly give it my immediate approval.
U.S. GRANT.
WASHINGTON, _February 28, 1877_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
In answer to the resolution[124] of the Senate of the 27th instant,
I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of State, together with
the papers which accompanied it.
