THE WAR REVENUE BILL.

Issue of Legal Tender Notes violently
Opposed Discussion Continues To
day.
Washington, d. c., May 24.-That fea-
ture Of the war revenue measure plac-
ing a tax of one quarter Of one per
centum upon the gross receipts of cor
pOrations, was under discussion in the
Senate throughout to-day's session. In
cidentally the proposed tax on bank de-
posits was adverted to. The principal
speeches were delivered by Mr.. Platt,
Republican, Connecticut, and Mr..
Lindsay, Democrat, kentucky, both Of
whom vigorously attacked the corpora
tions tax. The weight of the formers
argument was thrown against the tax
on the ground that it was uncOnstitution-
nj; that it was unconstitutional, because
the tax was not levied alike upon all
persons engaged in Il particular line of
business. He maintained that a corpora
tion tax could be levied, provided that
the conditions were fair and equitable,
but that the business of Il corporation
could not be taxed, simply because it
was conducted by Il corporation. To be
equitable, it must be laid upon the busi-
ness whether it was conducted by cor
poration, a partnership, firm or an in
dividual
Mr.. Lindsay vigorously antagonized
the proposed issue of legal tender notes,
declaring that it accentuated the exist
ing menace to the gold reserve of the
treasury and was, besides the dearest
money ever devised. He held that such
an issue would be a blow to the nations
financial credit; he also presented an ar
gumcnt against the proposed corporation
tax, maintaining that if enacted into
law, it would breed batch of law suits
instead of providing what the govern
ment needed ready money with which to
conduct the war operations"
Tomorrow the Senate will resume the
discussion of the pension measure, an
hour earlier than usual. The session be-
ginning at II O'Clock.
At 1888 p. m., the Senate went into
executive session, after which it ad-

WORST OF THE CENTURY
A Terrible Hurricane Sweeps
Over the West Indies.
THE LOSS is ENORMOUS
Three Hundred People Killed and 10000
Injured in the Island of St. Vincent
Alone - The Injured Are
Dying OF Starvation.

Kingston. Jamaica, Sept. 16.-The
hurricane OF Sunday was undoubtedly
the worst visitation of the kind ex-
perienced by the West Indies during
the century. Two hurricanes swept
along the island chain from Barbados
westward to st. Vincent. and thence
northwest to st. kits. where 1t was
last heard from. Barbadoes suffered
mostly from rain. which destroyed
crops and roads. as Il did at st. Lucia
and other islands. while the center of
the storm swept over st. Vincent and
Guadalupe.
The details received at st. Vincent
show that unparalleled destruction of
life and property has taken place there.
Out of a population OF 1900. 300 were
killed and 90 900 injured and rendered
homeless. Besides. owing to the com
plete destruction of provisions, they
are all starving. The island has been
absolutely gutted by wind and floods
from the mountains in addition to the
waves along the coast. There has been
great loss to shipping along the track
of the cyclone. Relief funds are being
raised in response to the appeal Of the
governor of st. Vincent, where all de-
scriptions of food. clothing and other
necessities were lost in the general de-
struction. The demand for building
materials is unlimited. No details of
the work of the hurricane has been
received from Guadalupe.
