Tax Reduction Bills in the House.

There are now three revenue re-
duction bills before the House-the
McMillin bill presented by Mr..
Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, and the
Cowles bill. The first two have pre-
cedence of the Cowles bill, and the
McMillin bill is first on the list.
The McMillin bill is the Mills bill,
with certain schedules ommitted,
and proposes a reduction Of revenue
estimated at $72, 100000. The Brock
inridge bill calls for a reduction Of
Sal, 10000 The Cowles bill pro-
poses reduction of about $3l, 000,-
900. The prospect of any revenue
measure whatever passing both
Houses this session is infinitesimal.

President to become law. The
vote in the House was 1856 yeas to

the President will veto the bill and
by others that he will not. 1t is al

whether or not change will be
made in the taxation laws.

SILK Keeling EXPERIMENTS.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The secretary of
agriculture is preparing to resume the ex-
periments in silk reeling at the depart
ment and therefore announces that he will
purchase the necessary cocoons. Congress
made an additional appropriation for the
purpose and Secretary Rusk, in circular
just issued, states that the money will be
expended, the purchases being made on
the following terms:
Lots of cocoons will be received during
July, 1889, from Texas, Louisiana. Missis-
sippi, Alabama. Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina During August from
Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina and Virginia. During September
from Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa,
Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. During October from all
the states of the northern territory. This
distinction is made on account of the
difference OF the seasons in the several
parts of the country, and the fact that
cocoOns produced in the north would
hardly be dry before October, while
those of the extreme south, being raised
much earlier, are sooner ready for the
market The highest price that will be
paid will not exceed 81 Is per pound and
this will be given only for cocoons Of first
quality. For those that are inferior such
prices will be paid rs their quality will
justify, and 1t must be remembered that
very poor cocoons can not be reeled and
are only salable as waste, and as such
bring excessively low prices. In the pres
ent state of the industry in this country
but few raisers produce cocoons of such
quality as will command the maximum
price quoted. Persons having cocoons to sell
should notify this office at once, SO that
they may be informed whether or not the
full quantity required has been pur-
chased. This may be done upon the in
closed official postal card, No cocoons
will be purchased except by previous
agreement, and lots shipped without re-
gard to these instructions will not be re-
turned to the shipper at the expense of
this department.. With the notification
must be sent a sample of cocoons, which
may be mailed without payment of pos
tage if the Enclosed Thanking label be used.
This sample should be sent in a tin or
wooden box and should consist of at least
twenty cocoons. Upon its receipt the
shipper will be informed approximately of
the price which will be paid for the CO.
coons. But, as it is extremely difficult to
judge of the whole lot by the inspection of
a small sample, | cannot undertake to
bind myself by the estimates so given
The experience of the past year, however.
has shown that while many lots were not
equal in value to the sample sent me,
others were of superior quality. and in
such cases the prices paid for the lots were
better than those quoted on the sample"

Gen. Rosecrans and Others Inspecting the
Famous Battlefield.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 5.-The dis
| tinguished party of gentlemen composed
of Gen. Rosecrans, Gen. Cist, Gen. KEEL
logg, Gen. Boynton and others, appointed
to inspect the battlefield of Chickamauga
and locate the battle lines, visited the
battlefield today. They rode over all of
it except the portion 2, about Craw-
fish Spring The battle lines and
positions were established as given
in the revised map made last Oc-
tober by order of the war department, ex-
cept that there was a slight change in the
route taken by Changers reserve corps
when he Joined Thomas at Snodgrass hill.
The Widow Glenn's house, which was
Gen. Rosecran's headquarters, and the
historic tan Yard were identified beyond
question. The party is composed of the
committee as given in previous dispatches
and citizens of Chattanooga. Gen. Joe
Wheeler was the only ex-confederate of
ficer present. Adiutant Pirtie located
the spot where Gen. w. II. Lyle
was killed from evidence which
seems indisputable, and pile of
stones was made until it can be marked
more appropriately. An old man named
Weathers, aged 50 years, walked four
miles to see Gen. Rosecrans. He had
lived on the field at the time of the battle,
and had given Gen. Rosecrans drink OF
water. The old man seemed to be trans
ported with joy when Rosecrans shook
hands with him. The party remained at,
Suodgrass Hill all afternoon, taking gen.
eral observations, and then returned to the
CITY,
Gen. Rosecrans, in an interview, said:
This is my first visit to the battlefield
since the war. and it is difficult Tor me to
locate ma y of the places. but each will
find some spot with which he is familiar
and in this way by general conference all
questions can be definitely and accurately
settled. 1t is the intention to convert the
into national park and there
is every reason to believe that the plan
will succeed"
Gen. Boynton stated 1.-THE national
park will be about four miles long and
three miles wide, on an average.

Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri had

Ter has been thoroughly discussed with the

and statesmen, and l have yet to
ind any one opposed to the plan of the
National park. There will be no trouble |
n obtaining the necessary appropriations. |
t will be national park in the broadcast |
sense of the term, and will do much to-

opinion of union and confeder- |

then take up the consulships and will
spend at least a week upon them. The
list of consulates in which immediate
changes are considered desirable has been
prepared at the state department. The
papers of the applicants for each place
have been brie ed so that the president
can see almost at glancs the kind OF
backing leach applicant has. 1t will be
interesting TO the $500 applicants
who have papers on file - to know
that the number OF places for which the
secretary of state recommends that new
consuls be appointed at this time has been
cut down TO 80. There viii be. on an
average, nineteen blanks to one prize in

THEY MUST REFORM.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Baron Erlanyer
is unable to understand several PECULIAR
tiles about the management of American
roads. Over here he says, 1.-THE operat-
ing expenses eat up 20 per cent of the rev.
enues, while in Europe they are only so
per cent, yet freight rates here are much
higher. II the managers of the American
railroads want foreign capital TO further
support their lines they must reform their
methods There is no good reason for
bankruptcy 10 be staring them in the face
when times are good.'
The baron professed a strong admiration
for Jay Gould, while holding in reserve
his opinion of Mr.. Gould's methods. He
expresses his surprise at the fine equip
ment or American railroads, and believes
tnat the south now presents d fine field
for railroad Development.

PENlTeNTIARY COAL CoNTRAc

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, May 5.-The board
of directors of the Kansas penitentiary to-
day let the contract for the output of the
penitentiary coal mine to Mr.. E. S.
Williams, of Kansas City, at the follow
ing figures: 65s cents per bushel for lump
and CRATE, 2 cents for pea, and l cent for
slack. Six cents per bushel is the highest
price paid heretofore for lump and CRATE
coal.
There was considerable rivalry for the
output of this mine, but a Kansas City
man succeeded in getting the contract.
Some excitement was occasioned in the
city last evening by Police Officer King
firing three shots from revolver at
Albert Rapp, the driver of beer delivery
wagon. The officer called On Rapp to
halt, it being his intention to look into the
contents of the wagon, and it is claimed
that Rapp being deaf, did not hear the
command of the officer. Kings shots
fortunately did no harm. Subsequently
Rapp was arrested for fast driving and
gave bond for his appearance in the police
court.
