yesterday passed the war revenue bill
with only the amendments agreed upon
by the Republican members of the ways
and means committee added. In order
to accomplish this a parliamentary ma
neuver was necessary, as the whole
time for amendments was exhausted
by the minority in trying to amend the
bond feature Of the bill. Mr.. Dingley
offered as substitute an entirely new
bill containing these amendments after
the bill had been reported to the house,
This was an old parliamentary trick.
frequently resorted to years ago. Many
amendments were offered to the bond
feature of the bill, ranging from a
proposition for the substitution of an
Income tax provision to an authoriZa-
ton for an issue Of $150.O00,000 green
backs. All were voted down. At the
last minute the Democrats decided to
offer the motion to recommit, with in
structions to report back the income
tax proposition as an amendment to
the bill, instead of as a substitute for
the bond provision. The motion was
defeated. 1874 to 173. Four Republicans
voted with the Democrats and Popu-
lists on this vote. But on the tinal pas
sage of the bill. which was carried by
1Sl to 131, the Democrats and Popu-
lists, with six exceptions, voted solidly
against the bill. The Democrats who
voted for the bill were Messrs. Cum
mings, Mcclellan and Griggs, of New
York: Fitzgerald, Massachusetts: Nc
Aleer. Pennsylvania, and Wheeler, of
Alabama. Two Republicans. Messrs.
Linney Of North Carolina and Thorp,
of Virginia, voted with the opposition.
Quite number of Democrats declined
to vote. The bill now goes to the SEN
ate.

New I ork, April aO,--The A n, ericau
line steamer Paris, which has recont-
1y been added to the United States
navy as an auxiliary cruiser, and re-
xarding which vessel SO many alarm
Ing rumors OF capture by Spanish war
vessels have been published, was
sighted Off Fire Island at 2:17 this
morning. Tho vessel anchored at
Quarantine an hour later, and this
morning, after having p assTd tho OK
aminers, sailed up the Earbor, fol-
lowed by g fleet of steamers carrying
enthusiastic, cheering crowds.
As the Paris came up to her dock she
was greeted by the footing of whistles
on the tugs of tho harbor, and this
was taken up by the big manufacture
ting establishments along the shore.
etenm whistles further inland took M
the refrain, and for half an hour or
more 1t seemed as though every
whistle within ten miles of Gov

The passengers were checred to tho
echo as they landed at the dock, ana
the return Of a victorious army could
mot have been more enthusiastically
acclaimed than was the snfe home
coming of the Paris.

range. He says 1t is obvious that q
practical system of throwing aerial tor
pedoes must have range substanti-
ally equal to that Of high power guns.
Owing to the fact that these guns are
not intended to throw armor piercing
projectiles. and that. therefore. a fiat
projectory Is not necessary to their
successful operation. the charge of
powder to propel the shells may be less
powerful than that used in high power
guns.
The torpedoes. which carry half q
ton of explosive, according to Mr..
Maxims theory. may be sent nine
miles. with ton of gun cotton can be
thrown five miles. These ranges are
equal to the effective ranges of high
power guns on battleships.
Mr. Maxim believes the ten torpedo
cruisers equipped with his guns may
be built at cost of $500.O0O each, or In
other words, at the same cost of build.
ing one first class battleship. He would
equip each Of these cruisers with ono
"a inch torpedo gun, weighing IS tons,
and two torpedo mortars, Weighing 20
tons each.
The cruiser would fire head on, the
exposed portion OF the vessel being pro-
tected by DETECTING armor sufficiently
thick to turn aside the projectiles of a
battlsship, save those from the IL inch
guns.
The cruisers would have speed of
from 20 to "a knots and could therefore
choose their own position with respect
to battleships. He divides the average
fatal area exposed by the battleship Ivy
the area of the target presented by the
crusier. and finds that the latter is con-
tanned in the former at least 100 times.
One cruiser he argues, would therefore
be able on an average to destroy 100
battlcships.

tanning a remarkable offer to the Uni.
ted States government to furnish to it,
at cost Of 100000, a ship which he
claims to be capable of destroying the

brother Of Hiram Maxim, the famous
inventor of weapons of destruction.
Hudson Maxim has worked IA Good

tiflc world He expresses his desire to
serve his native country. Just one

himself will come to America and SUI
perntend the building of the crusier
without any charge whatever for his
services. An opportunity to serve on
board In an engagement would be very
acceptable to him.
Mr.. Maxim holds that If his inven-

be rendered absolutely useless. Naves
