STATEMENT OF MR.. WEBSTER.

Mr.. Webster read the following statement on
Thursday. The object of the Tariff bill was TO
raise $4,000 900 for the service of the year by
duties on imports.
1t is proposed to raise this amount by ad valo-
rem duties entirely. These duties are arranged
by the bill into clauses, being charged respective
Iy 100, 40, 80, 25, %, Is, 10, and 3 per cent
The average of these, according to the Com
mittco of Finance, is 234 per cent. The Ques-
ton, therefore, is what we may Justly expect with
an importation this year, as at that average tho
year will Weld revenue of S28,000,000. To
Judge ofhs, we must, in the first place, be brought
to the amount of last years importadons.
BY the Treasury statement it appears that the
yalueor merchandise eimportcd from luly /, I&il,
to June 5Oth, 1915, was Stl7,25l,56L This is

DEATH OF CAPTAIN PAGE.

On Sunday morning, July l2th, on board tho
steamer Missouri, short distance above Cairo,
Captain JOHN PAGE, late of the Ilh regiment. t.
nitcd States Infantry.
Ii will be recollected that Captain Page was Sc.
vercly wounded at the battle of Palo Alto, (the
whole of his under jaw being shot off, and thai
he has been lingering between life and death ever
since. lie was joined by his wife, few DAYS
since in New Orleans, and at the time of his
death they were on theirway to Jefferson Barracks,
where it was hoped the change of climate and
strict attention would restore him, although the
nature of his wound was such as to deprive him
of the power of speech forever. lie had a med
ical attendant (Dr. w. w. Mercer) for the last
three days previous to his death, whose attention
to him was unremittod.
Captain Page, like the gallant Ringgold, was
one of those master spirits of the army, who have
placed the daring deeds at Palo Alto and Resaca
dc la Palma side by side with those of the most
renowned battle-felds of modern times. He was
the true embodiment of the American soldier,
and wished no other death than the one he has
met. His sullerings for two months, which must
have been intense, were borne with the greatest
Iouudc. Captain Page had an extensive circle
of friends and relatives in this city, who havethe
sympathy of the nation in their beroavemcnt.-

CONCERNING THOSE WOMEN.

Among other things mentioned in Col. Ste
venson's circular respecting the expedition to
California, is the following
"Four women will be allowed to each COM
pany, as camp women. These must be the
wives of soldiers, and will do the washing of the
company, for which, of course, they will re-
cciyc pay, and besides will be allowed ration,
quarters, fuel and transportation, while in the
service"
In the French army such camp followers,
known as TirandieerS, are regularly uniformed
and wear a dirk at the girdle, as their appropri-
ate arms. They are also provided with can
teen containing a lotion or restorative for the
wounded soldier, and satche sIung over one
shoulder like Il game bag, which contains lint
and bandages for ready use near the field Of
battle.
We do not know what is to be the strength of
the new regiment which are now raising, but
supposing Col Stovcnson's to consist of ten
companies, this would give him a corps Of Vi
wanderers consisting Of forty UOn'ea. Imagine
these now drawn up at a review in the Park, in
the dress of Mary Taylor as the Vivandere at
the Olympic, and how Manhattan isle would be
frightened from its proprety!-Nev York Ga.

Mr.. Cameron presented the proceedings of q

II was not Wing panic, but a Democratic

his last speech. He said that all eyes in Eng.

Now is there any just ground of exccptation
that such anincrcased importation will take place!
Or, if it were possible that such an increase
should accrue, can the goods be paid for without
