In the Senate an informal understanding had
beSn conf q, that the yoie On che Tafa biz
should be taken within q week Orten days
A number Of the opponents Of The bill disP-
vowed b intention to delay the vote unneces-
sarily.
The Treasury note bill was taken up, and
after, a short discussion was laid aside for the
time being.
MI. Davis concluded his argument against
tie tariff bill. Mr. Johnson, Of Md will next
speak uponit.
A report was Beceived from the Secretary of
War, covenng the following letter from Mr..
Marcy II Col. Stevenson, which sheds enough
Light upon the purposes Of the Government
with regard 10 California to enable one to get
asmall glimpse Of the future.
WAR DEPARTMEET, June 90, 1916.
Sr-The President having determined TO
send a regiment Of volunteers around Cape
Horn 10 the Pacific, TO be employed in prose-
cutting hostiities In Mexico, probably in Up
per California, has authorized me to say that if
you win organize one regiment on the condi-
tons hereinafter specified, and tender its ser
vice to the United States, it will be accepted.
1t is proper it should be done with the approba-
ton Of the Governor. Of New York.
The President expects and indeed requires
that great care should be taken,to have ii COM
posed of suitable persons--I mean Of good
ha~bits--as far as practicable Of various pur-
suits, and such as would be likely to desire to
remain at the end o. the war, either in Oregon
or.in any other territory in that region Of the
globe which may then be a part Of the terrific
ry of the United States.
The act Of the 18th Of May last, authorizes
the acceptance of volunteers for II months, oil
during the war with Mexico. The condition
Of acceptance in this case must be a tender d
service during the war, and il must be explicit
ly understood that they be discharged without
a claim for returning home, wherever they may
be serving atthe termination of the war; pro,
vided tits in the then territory Of the United
States, or may be taken to the nearest o. mos
convenient territory belonging to the United
States, and there discharged.
The men must be a%pprized expressly that thu
term Of service is for the war; that they MAJ
be discharged as above specified; and tina
they are to be employed on a distant service
It is, however, very desirable that it should no
be publicly known, or proclaimed, that the,
are to go into any particular province Of Mex
leo.
On this point great caution is eDjoined. TIL
communication to the officers and men mus
go'sO far as to remove all just ground Of com
, plant that they have been deceived in the ma
ture and place Of tbe service.
tits expected that the Regiment will be rea
dy to embark as early as the list Of Angus
next, if practicable.
/ Steps will be Immediately taken to provid
} for transportation.
n Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,
w. L. MARCY, sec'y Of War.
