THE REVENUE BILL.
Speculation ms to the Time 1t Will
Occupy Ina the Senate.

SpecuIation MS to the Time 1t Will
Occupy Ina the Senate.
There is much doubt as to the time which
will be consumed by the Senate I'm the con-
sideration of the revenue bill, which was
taken up in the Senate this afternoon.
Some calculations reckon on as much as
tire weeks before a vote is had 1t Is hard
" probable, however, that the debate can
be kept up that long. A great many SEN
ators want to talk for the purpose of maxi
ing their records clear and explaining their
position, but it is being represented to
these gentlemen by those of their political
associates who want as little delay as pos
sible that if their position is not already
clear to their constituents, it can't be made
SO by speeches. Some of the most radical
OF the silver men, to whom the idea OF au-
thorizing an issuance of bonds Is extremely
distasteful are urging upon their assoc
ciates that nothing is to be gained by a
protracted debate, and the opinion is eX-
pressed by them that the wisest course
would be to proceed at once to vote. On
the other hand, the administration senators
are. of course exercising all the influence
they have to prevent the delay OF debate,
and IL Is quite possible that between these
two influences the time devoted to the con-
si5eration of the measure may be consider
ably shortened. In administration circles
it is said that reDubiicans generally will
not consume much time In debate, and Tat
the bill will be got to the President in a
reasonably satisfactory form at an early
day. "A republican member of the finance
committee expressed the opinion today that
for the issuance of bonds the amount being
reduced from 500 .0O0. 600 to $500, 900 COO to-
1ether with the provision for $100, 000, 600 of
certificates OF indebtedness

DEWEY COMMANDS MANILA.
Sends Word That He Can Take 1t Mt
Any Time.


Dispatches just received from Admiral
Dewey show that he has lost none of the
prestige gained in his memorable fight of
two weeks ago, and that while he refrains
from taking the city of Manila, he has it
practically at his mercy. The dispatch is
dated Cavite, May 10, and is as follows:
Maintaining strict blockade. Reason to
believe that rebels are hemming in the city
by land, but have made no demonstration.
Scarcity of provisions in Manila. Probable
that Spanish governor will be obliged to
surrender soon. Can take Manila at any
moment. Climate hot and moist. On May
IL captured gunboat Callao attempting to
run blockade. Have plenty of coal. One
British one French, two German and one
Japanese vessel here observing"
The officials are making all possible haste
to rush troops to supplement Admiral Dew
ey's forces. SO that If the Spanish governor
does surrender the former will not be de-
pendent upon the small number of marines
which he can ill spare from his ships, but
will have the assistance OF soldiers in hold
ing his position and maintaining order.
Arrangements for the expedition to the
Philippines are being rapidly concluded by
the War Department. --latest reports in
dictate that II 800 men selected for the ex-
petition from the volunteer forces in the
country west of the mississippi river will
be prepared to move in q few days. 1t is
the purpose now to send1a force of 1900
to the islands. In order to make up the
requisite number. it is the intention Of the

THIS CALL SPECIAL TO
 SACRAMENTO
SWiftest Trip on Record to the State Capital Made by the Train Bearing
 the Golden Number.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 23.-'Right of track over all trains" is the way the order read which was handed to Con- ductor Davis and Engineer Raymon on the Oakland pier this morning just as they were about to start out with the special train which was to carry The Calls Golden Jubilee Edition to its subscribers throughout the State
 Tt was a great run," said Fireman Gibbs, as he mopped the perspiration from his brow in Sacramento and looked at his watch.
 It took just one hour and forty-four minutes to make the run between Oak land mole and the foot of Second street, Sacramento. Of course, this did not include the stops, for the simple reason that there were none.
 From the start to the finish there was not a stacking of speed at any point save the interruption at the Car Quinez Straits.
 The tug drew up to the long wharf with great packages of Calls piled up on every available foot of space found on the decks and in the cabin.
 The Los Angeles special was first ac- commodated, and although the train and tug crews worked as fast as they could good half hour was consumed in transferring the bundles from the tug to the coach of the Los Angeles special.
 Papers for the north were then placed in the car of the Sacramento special. and soon both trains were flying along the coast of Alameda County at a speed that was fearful.
 A good stiff breeze was blowing from the north, but it hindered not, and when just seven minutes out from the mole 1t reached the stock yadrs. One minute more and West Berkeley faded away, and six minutes later the sta- tion lights at San Pablo indicated that the special had reached the mile a minute mark, with splendid prospects of passing Pinole at just a trifle faster than that. The sensation of rounding those curves between Pinole and Port Costa in the darkness of night at such rate of speed was somewhat ex- hilarating, and at the same time not entirely free from a fear that can hardly be described.
 Thirty minutes were not consumed in passing Port Costa and from Be- nicia to Sacramento there has never been faster run than that made by Engineer Raymon this morning.
 AS each station was approached the bundles of Calls were balanced in the door of the car and as the lights in the station window appeared they were tilted a bit and then sent flying through the air until they landed on the station platform.
 One of the bundles struck baggage truck that was standing outside, upon which had been left an empty chicken coop. When the station agent looked for the coop later on he found frag-

GREAT SERSATI0H
 IS CREATED AT THE
 CITY OF NSALLA.
Early Morning Delivery of the Great Jubilee Edition a1 Enterprise m Journalism
 That IS Loudly Praised.

VISALIA, Jan. 2S.-The Calls grand Golden Jubilee Edition made a pro- found sensation in Visalia Its achieve ment in laying down in this city Sun day mornings paper on Sunday morn ing, although we are 250 miles from San Francisco, is something unique in newspaper enterprise. Many are the compliments that have been paid The Call and it's manager by citizens. The Call reached Goshen shortly after & o'clock this morning, and Nate Rogers. the main distributor of the paper. was on hand with his buggy to hurry the bundles of Calls over to Visalia. He had all he could carry. His Visalia subscribers soon were enjoying their morning paper, while a crowd collected at Levy Bros store, where The Call is sold, to comment on the early appear ance of their favorite journal.
 One of the leading business men said this evening that he had been reading The Call all day; that it was one of the best issues he had ever handled of any paper. Another remarked: That is a most excellent paper. I intend to file it away for future use. The Call is taking the lead nowadays"
 One of the proprietors of a daily paper says The Call is about the only city paper that has creditable news at present. He always looks for The Call when he wants to make clippings for his own paper. He is greatly pleased with the Jubilee Edition.
 Newsboys did a good business selling The Call this forenoon, for the people showed their appreciation of such en- terprise.
