WASHINGTON, April 8.-The MEM

revenue measure to be introduced In
congress Immediately upon the opening
Of hostilities with Spain -
An increase in the internal revenue
tax on beer from 81 to93s2 a barrel. and
a large increase in the tax on manu-
featured tobacco, including cigars and
cigarettes has been practically agreed
upon.
Bank checks, bills Of exchange.

per of this class, patent medicines and
nostrums in all probability also will
be added to the list u
/ A rough estimate Of the receipts to
be derived from these sources is that
the increase on these, articles alone will
approximate ,2 if not exceed. 500. 900, 900
a year. Beer, it is thought, will pro
duce an increase Of $35, 0O0. 900; manu-
featured tobacco, an increase Of $685.
100000 or more, and commercial paper
and patent medicine $50, 100000 An
other source Of revenue which, 1t is
said, is almost certain to be availed of
is transactions in railroad and other
listed stocks. 1t is believed that re-
turns from this source will be large
In all the figuring SO far the remain
ing industries and the professions
Which were taxed for strictly war rev
enues during the rebellion have been
left out Of account.
An increase from two cents to three
cents on letter postage and a tax on
gas and electric lights has also been
suggested to the department, but these
items have not yet been considered.
The increase of one cent an ounce on
letter. postage probably would augment
the receipts by $50, 100000 a year. -.
A bill providing for a Temporary loan
of 100000 900 and a permanent loan of
from $500, 900 to $500, 600, 900 at 2 per
cent, payable in coin, has been propos-
ed by the ways and means committee,
and will be Immediately. introduced in
case Of war. '77'
The whole question Of the finances
of the government, in view of possible
hostilities, is being carefully considered
by the treasury officials, so that a def
mite and well-though- out plan of OPP
erations may be at the disposal Of con-
gress in case of need.

From the ST. Paul Banking Stand
pOint-wOuId Be n Demand for
the Paper.
NEW YORK, April 81. Pierpont
Morgan has had important New York
bankers in conference at his office,
touching national financial affairs. A
d big prospective bond issue was dis
cussed. After the meeting a member
of Morgan's firm hurried to Washing
ton, ostensibly in the interests of the
bond project. This move may prove
of vast immediate Importance. That
a government loan must soon be ne
gotiated is fully realized, and the sug
gestion that it be made popular loan
met with general approval.
A dispatch from Philadelphia, quot
ing c. R. Lewis, banker, said that
city would probably take $25, 000, 900
worth of bonds
IsadOre Newman, a banker, inter
viewed at New Orleans, thought 81
900 Of government per cent $50
= bonds could be disposed of at par in
that city. Julius Runge, a Galveston
, financier, said such a loan would be
popular there.
j. J. Mitchell, of the Illinois Trust
and Savings bank, at Chicago, is quot
ed as saying: IF the loan was $780,
ranging
from $50 to $500, they would rapidly be
snapped up at par"
The proposition of a popular loan by
the government in the event of war
with Spain meets with favor among
financiers of st. Paul. There is no doubt
expressed that a per cent loan. with
the bond of minimum amount Of $50,
would be taken at par in all the prin-
cipal cities of the country. Naturally
the suggestion reViveS discussion as
to the advisability Of amendments to
the banking laws to admit Of larger cir
culation. By some 1t is thought that
an increase of this kind would be of
great advantage, in that it would meet
the popular demands for q larger sup
ply of money.
ID. A. Monfort, president of the Sec
ond National bank, said last night:
II think a popular loan of the char
acter indicated by the dispatches re-
ceived this afternoon would readily be
taken by the people of the country,
and probably per cent would be Suffi-
cient to enable the government to float
at least 5000, 100000 of such bonds at
par. / don't think there would be any
doubt in regard to that, or that there
would be any difference Of opinion on
the subject among those most COM
petent to judge.
q very COuSlu6TdDle sum
might be obtained in this city If the
proper facilities are afforded the peo-
pie for securing the bonds convenient
ly. During the War of the Rebellion,
when such large amounts of bonds were
offered to the public, the national banks
were made the agents of the govern
ment for subscriptions; and it was very
easy for those who desired to subscribe
to obtain them by placing money in the
depository hanks, taking receipts there
for, and the bonds We're Immediately
forwarded, the banks renting the
money to the treasury.
Il presume that, if a popular loan IS
offered, every facility would be offered
the people to obtain them at the least
inconvenience.
1T has always been my Judgment,
In regard to an issue of government
bends. that they should be offered to
the people first in such a way that
those who desired to subscribe in a.
small way should be able to secure
them readily rather than to make the

The China, which arrived yesterday
afternoon from the Orient. brought la

All appears to be exceedingly quiet in
Uncle Sans far east domain. The
papers have nothing exciting to re-
port. Troops are enforcing the laws
and there does not seem to he very
much to do in this line.
On Thanksgiving day Consul Will

Dewey and officers and General Otis
and officers. This was quite a brilli-

One of the army papers published a
report that troops would very shortly
be ordered to Iloilo, the second largest
city of the Islands, situated on the
small island of Panay to the south
east of Manila. It was also stated
that the Charleston would go to lloilo.
The Concord was scheduled to leave
very soon for China.
