ing to internal revenue" In accordance with
the views ola majority of the house, express
sed in the recent caucus of the Republican
members, the first section OF the original bill

doubled When exceeding $4,000 barrels, the
bonds shall be 100000, but in no case shall
the penal sum of any warehouse bond be
greater than 100000 The limit as to the
main in bond is extended indefinitely
by the amendment, which provides that
sbonds given under this section shall be and
remain in force as to spirits remaining in the
warehouse on the LIST day OF May, folio wing
until the execution and approval of the bond,
and shall remain in full force for the collec-
ton of the tax on all spirits covered thereby,
which shall have been unlawfully removed or
withdrawn during the period for which the
bond is given" A further amendment to this

said shall die, or become of unsound mind, or
shall in the opinion of the collector or COM
