dered tomorrow.
EIhe substitute for the bill ia
amend the laws relating to internal
revenue, re ported to the House by
Representative DunneE, is modif-
cation OF the report on the Carlisle
bill to amend the laws relating to
internal revenue, in accordance with
the views of the majority of the
House expressed in the recent eau
Gus OF republican members. The
hrSt section of the original bill, re-
ducing the tax on distilled spirits to
soc. per gallon is omitted; and the
second section, providing for ware
house bonds to secure the collection
OF taxes upon all spirits with
drawn or removed from the
special bonded warehouse. is
retained with an amendment. in
creasing the penalsum of the bonds.
When the largest quantity of spir-
its to be stored in warehouse, as
set forth in the distillers' statement
and declaration, does not exceed
fifty barrels of forty proof gallons
each, the bond is fixed at 81, 800 in
stead $1,000. In all other cases the
bonds are just doubled. When
exceeding fifty barrels the
bond will be $4,000, but in no case
shall the penal sum of any ware
house bond be greater than 5000.
The limit as to the time during
which spirits Smay remain in bond
is extended indefinitely by the
amendment, which provides that
the bonds given under this section
shall remain in force as to spirits
remaining i'll warehouses on the 1st
day of May following the execution
and approval Of the bond, and shall
remain in full force for the collec-
ton of the tax upon all spirits COW
cred thereby, which shall have been
unlawfuIly withdrawn during this
period for which this bond was
given. A further amendment to
this provides that in case a person,
required to make a statement and
give the bond aforesaid, shall
die, shall become Of unsound mind,
or shall, in the opinion of the col
lectOr or commissioner of internal
rexenue, become otherwise legally
incapable of making such statement,
or giving such bond, the statement
may be made and the bond given by
by his executor, administrator
guardian, trustee or other personal
or legal representative. Section
three is amended by striking out
the words mot exceeding three, in
number" and authorizing the COM
missioner of internal revenue
to establish, at his discretion,
one or more special bonded
warehouse in any one collection
district. Section four, relative
to the removal of spirits from one
diStillery warehouse to another in
case of permanent discontinuance
is amended by restricting the re-
nOval to another diStillery ware
house in the same collection district.
Sections five 10 ten, inclusive, of the
Carlisle bill, are embodied without
change or amendment in the subSti-
tute bill. Section eleven, regulating
the allowance to be made for the
loss of spirits while IN bonded ware
houses, and providing for regauging
to ascertain the loss. is amended
by striking out that portion
which provides that this provision
as to loss shall apply to foreign
spirits imported into this country.
Section II of the Carlisle bill, fixing
the tax on foreign brandy and dis
titled spirits, and all cordials or bit
tiers containing distilled spirits, at
$3.50 per gallon, and section l3, re-
ferring to vinegar bitters. are
stricken out. A ii acts and parts of

of the bill are repealed.
