The STORAGE of Distilled Spirfts.

WASHINGTON CITY, May .9.-Some Farm
ers' Alliance men in the South and West
who are advocating the warehouse system
for adoption by the government have been
met with the argument that it is not the
province of the government to build ware
houses for any class of producers, to which
the advocates of the warehouse system re-
ply that if the government can build ware
houses in which to store whisky there
ought to be no reasonable objection to the
construction of warehouses for grain and
other products of the farmers. Senator
Cockrell sent an inquiry to Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner Mason, who replies III
substance:
The United States does not now and has never
built any warehouses for dist.Ilers for the stor-
age OF liquor aud distilled spirits. Al distilled
spirits. with the exception of brandy distilled
from apples peaches and grapes, are deposited
il q warehouse provided by the distilter him
self Distil!ers OF brandy from apples. peaches
and grapes exclusively are exempt from the
provisions OF the statute. These distiiers either
pay tax upon spirits as soon as produced. or
the spirits are deposited IL bonded warehouse
erected by private individual and stored until
the tax becomes DUE but III no case IS the gov
ernment liable for any expenses incurred IN
storing distilled spirits OF any kind.

The Bill Admitting Enman Line Steamers
to American Registry Passed.
WAsHINGToN CITY, May 9.-In the Sem
ate, after routine business. Frye, from the
committee on commerce, reported the
House bill to encourage American ship
building. He said the report was unani-
nous. and he had been instructed to move
immediate consideration; agreed to. After
the bill was read in full, Frye stated that,
although it was general in its provisions,
two ships only were to be admitted to
American register, to be excluded from
coastwise trade, and which might be used
by the government, by charter or pur-
chase, in case Of war; the full extent of
the bill was that two ships would be ad-
mitted. the City of New York and the
City of Paris, Of the Inman line. Vest, a
member of the committee on commerce,
supported the bill, although it lacked
good deal of meeting his convic-
ton on free shipping. The steam
ships would not receive large sub
sides under the postal subsidy bill, he
said. Mills expressed the opinion that the
ships would be entitled to subsidy. Vest
persisted in contrary opinion, because
the subsidy bill applied only TO American
hulIt SHIPS. sherman SAID the bill would
confer upon the owners Of the ships the
richt to make contracts under the postal
subsidy law. Vest remarked that if that
construction be put upon the bin it would
be repealed by implication Of the postal
subsidy bill, which absolutely required
American-built ships. Mills moved to
amend the bill by striking out the clause
which would entitle the two ships to con-
tracts under the postal subsidy act. The
amendment was rejected without division.
The bill was then passed as it came from
the House, yeas fl, nays 10, rs follows:

Found st Steilacoom. Where Soldiers
Hid II Thirty Years Ago.


TACOMA. May 9.fSpecial. Hon. FL
wood Evans, president of the State His
torical Society, is in receipt Of the follow
ing from DIR. Waughop, superintendent of
the Steliacoom asylum:
Quite recently found a demijohn of whisky.
This is important ! send you bottle of it,
This is more important. found it under the
following circumstances The state about u
year ago bought some farming land-a part of
the McCaw IL Rogers trac', Il nile east of the
hospital. am about building house there for
the use OF patients who work the farm. In clear
ing oft piece OF ground .or the house near a
very fine spring which you, perhaps, know OF,
"under wide-spreading fir tree ] saw tho
wicker end OF q demiiohn nearly covered in
leaves and dirt. In attempting to handle it tho
wicker crumbled OF. The demiiohn lay on its
side, and the whisky gone TO a level with
the cork. probably had gradually passed
out through the cork. The cork Old
and musty, and gives slight mouldy taste TO
the liquor. l do not know how old it is,
but il was probably hidden bv soldiers, and
hey have been gone - years. Old man Meyers,
the German, says he remembers that the cor-
missarv was broken into and whisky stolen in
1883. Elder, az Lakevew, says one McLoud,
about that time gave two soldiers Il ride in his
wagon and when they got on; and were gone.
he found his dcmijohn was gone, too, much to
his sorrow, for he was a true Scotchman. Those
TO whom have given i. say it is excellent.
The papers have it that it was found on shan
nous ranch, among two or three other stories,
but the above is the true history OF its finding
1t is undoubtedly genuine old Hudson Bay
whisky-a part of the unwrtten history OF Fort
Steilacoom. l am giving it to my friends, and
keeping the demijohn for myself. 1t seems
fitting that you who have done so much towards
preserving cur early history should nave bot
tie of this archaeological liquor. Drink the
La, }, ske.h
covered. Yours truly,

The Senate Passes the Bill to Admit

Colyille Indian Bill Before tho Senate
Committee-Free Silver Men Still

WASHINGTON CITY, May 9-TSpecial +
The river and harbor bill is through the
House. The alleged Democratic econo-
mists are at discount. Such papers as
the New York Sun, World and Times, all
Democratic, have announced that the pas
sage OF the river and harbor bill meant de-
feat for the Democratic party this fall.
The majority OF the Democrats in the
House paid little attention to them, and
went on and passed the bill without
trouble. Every attempt to amend Ii in
the way of cutting it down was fiat fail
ure. The bill does not, as it now stands,
appropriate very much for Washington,
but it is expected that the Washing
ton senator will secure number of
advances in the Senate. and that in con-
ference they will be able to hold them in
the bill. All the amounts carried in the
House bill have been doubled in the pre-
liminary amendments made, and it is ex-
pected that they will be increased even
more. Senator Squire has been urging
Washlngton's claims before the commit
tee. and Senator Allen has his amend
ments ready and will offer them on the
floor OF the Senate when the bill is under
consideration.
1it VI DOLH tiiS w
senators will probably secure many addi-
tlons for that state. The economists in
the House made very bitter fight, but
they did not seem to have the right kind
OF backing. The river and har5or bill con-
tains provision which benefits more than
two-thirds of the districts represented in
the House, and consequently it is sure of
going through. The present bill, however,
carrying. as it does, both for immediate
expenditure and authorized future con-
tracts, 81. 100000 is probably the best that
has been put through for some time, ex-
cept that OF the last congress, which be-
gan this authorization Of contracts for all
projects. This proved such vast saving
to the government, and has become so
popular that the present House adopted it
without scarcely any question.
The bill as it passed the House carried
an appropriation, in round numbers, of
$2l, 100000. In addition the secretary of
war is authorized to contract for the COM
pletion of important projected improve
ments 10 an exsent involving an ultimate
expenditure of about $2G, 900.
