The River and Harbor Bill-Army APP

Sergeant Mason's Case.

Special Dispatch % the Register.
WASHINGTON, Farch 13.-The Committee
on Commerce, which is now engaged on the
river and harbor bill, expect to complete
their labors in rbout q week. The bill will
call for about Sl2OOO,OOO, and has been
framed upon little different plan from
that of last year. The committee have
aimed to make liberal allowances for the
great and important works, and have omit
ted altogether host of little creeks with
out water or commerce, but which have
been put in the bill before because they
had vote
The army appropriation bill passed the
House. to-day. 1t contains cause making
retirement at the age OF 90 compulsory and
one transferring the 4th of July claims from
the War Department to the Court OF Claims.
The Sherman Three Per Cent Funding
Bill seems to have been completely buried
in the House. 1t is now nearly six weeks
SINCE il was passed by the Senate, went
10 the House and referred to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, which, up to the
present time, has not even considered 1t,
nor are there indications of any movement
in that direction. 1t is quite probable that
no funding bill will be passed by the
House. This for the reason that the Gov
ernment now has the option Of all the out
standing five and six per cent. bonds three
and half per cents continuedL and can
pay them OIL rapidly. 1t is deemSd better
and even more economical to retain this
option than to refund them into lower
bond.
ConCeding that the act ofSargeant Mason
isself was contrary to discipline and OBJ
servance Of law, the sentence of the court
is regarded as excessive. Public sentiment
seems TO be in favor of the Sergeant,
Judging by the petitions already received
by the President asking a mitigation ol
sentence and release from custody. 1t Is
stated at the Judge Advocate General S
office that there was an informality in the
trial which will probably vitiate the entire
proceedings, the court having been sworn
before the prisoner was brought in. G.

A sharp Fight over the Bill in the

Special Dtspatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The only matter
of interest which marked the session Of the
House, to-day, was the struggle over the
Anti -Polygamy Bill. The Republicans un-
der the lead of Haskell, attempted to force
the bill through by means of the previous
question: thus cutting off all amendment
and debate. The Democrats proposed, that
if two hours for debate were allowed, and
they be permitted to offer amendments,
they would consent to vote. This being
refused, flkbustering began, and eontin-
nedf6r some time, Haskell making several
attempts to secure the previous question
and the Democrats refraining from voting
and thus breaking a quorum. Motions
TO adjourn. to call the roll OF
the House, to lay on the table,
etc. followed each other in quick success
sion, until finally, on motion Of Haskell
the House adjourned and the bill will
come UP tomorrow as unfinished business.
Young Soteldo was arraigned to-day on
the charge of taking the life Of his brother

ment against him.

INTERESTING AND SPICY INTERVIEW

Some time since we published dispatch
from Warm Springs, Va, giving particulars
of the difficulty that had occurred near
Dillie's Mills, in Pocahontas county, this
State, between a party of surveyors and
armed citizens. The dispatch stated that
the land claim was known as the Wilson
survey, and embraced 100000 or 100000
acres, much of which is considered the
finest in this section of the two States
alluded to. The title to these lands, it is
said, has always been obscure. Those who
have possession OF it have occupied the
property for years, and, they claim, have
acquired valid titles to their possessions.
Gen. Butler bought the land for mere
song, and for some time past has had par
ty of surveyors making a survey
of the Wilson tract. The people
had frequently warned these men
against continuing this work, threatening
them with some bodily punishment if
these warnings were not regarded. The
report then goes on to state that the men
employed to make these surveys proceeded
to the neighborhood of Dillie's mill and
commenced Work. In short time crowd
Of people from the neighborhood assembled
and fired into the surveying party, and
drove it Off Since then, Gen. Butler has
been interviewed on the subject, and We
present the result:

From Various Points.
WASHINGTON, March l3.-The Secretary
of War has instructed Major Sutler, OF st.

tention not only that government supplies

Present information indicates that the

INTERNAL REVENUE.
The Proposed ReductiOns-Ho~ They
VIII Affect the ReVenae-
g,s,InI DiSDufrh % TIE REGISTER.


WASHINGTON, March l3-The sub-Com-
mittcc of the Ways and Means Committee
are in session. tonight. and it is under
stood will adopt what is known as the Car
Isle Bill. in So far rs it relates to the tax
on whisky. While the subcommittee
have not thus far agreed upon bill, it is
understood that one of its members has
prepared bill which is likely to receive at
least majority vote in the subcommittee.
The bill in question is said to be general
revision of those sections OF the internal
revenue laws which impose taxes, some OF
which-those imposing tax on matches bank
deposits and checks, proprietary medi-
cines and cosmeticS-are repealed.
1t is proposed in the bill to reduce the
tsx on distilled spirits from ninety to fifty
cents per gallon; malt liquors from one
dollar to sixty cents per barrel; tobacco
from sixteen to ten cents Per'pound; cigars
from 50 to - per thousand; to abolish taxes
on the capital and deposits Of banks and
bankers, as well as all forms Of what is
known as the stamp tax. Taking as ba-
sis the returns OF Internal Revenue receipts
for the two months ending December 3lSt
last, it is estimated that the reductions
proposed would aggregate about S65, 200.
II is believed, however, by Treasury
officials that the increased production that
would follow the reduction of tax on liquors
and tobacco would compensate for a large
portion of the estimated reduction, and
maintain the annual receipts from Internal
Revenue at from 800 OOO, 900 to 500, ,OOO, 900.
The reports of the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue show that every reduction OF tax
on liquors and tobacco has been followed by
largely increased receipts from these two
sources.
II is probable that the proposed bill will
also provide for reduction in the present
charges for special taxes, and that the fol-
lowing reductions will be made: RectiierS,
from S2O0 to 500, and from $40 to $50;
wholesale liquor dealers, from 800 to $50;
retail liyuor dealers, from S25 to Sl2;
manufacturers of cigars, from $40 to So;
dealers in manufactured tobacco, from s.
70 - 80; manufacturers OF tobacco. from
$40 to -. G.
