Senators Opposed to a Bond Issue.

Senator Teller, last Saturday, ex.
pressed the opinion that the House
war revenue bill could not pass the
Senate with the bond proposition
included.
81 do not think the time has
come when we need to authorize
the issue Of bonds," he said. ut
may be that it will be necessary to
grant such authority later if the
war should be prolonged, but GER
tainly with 100000, 900 in cash in
the treasury we do not want to in
crease the bonded Indebtedness
until we absolutely know that such
course is necessary. If compelled
to secure more funds it would be
better at this time to resort to some
temporary expedient such as the
issuance of greenbacks or Treasury
notes.
81 have not conferred with other
Senators, but | cannot believe that
a majority of the members of the
Senate can be found willing at this
stage Of the war to increase the
country's Understanding debt"
Senator Jones of Arkansas, q
Democratic member of the Senate
Committee on Finance, expressed
the opinion that the bill could not
pass the Senate with a bond pro
vision. He said:
II have not seen the bill, but from
the summaries submitted to me, ]
think the bill is framed on old Re-
publican theories, to levy taxes as
far as possible per capita and on
the masses. making only pretense
of levying any taxes Oh the wealth
of the country.
II see no occasion of bond is.
sue; believe there is no necessity
for it; and think it will not be con
sidered for moment. If the neces
stiles of the case require it the Gov
eminent might issue the necessary
quantity of greenbacks, which, b.
becoming part of the circulation
would relieve the present distressing
condition existing throughout the
country by increasing the volume
of money. In addition to that, fol
one, l am perfectly willing to pro
vide for an increase in the volume
of money by opening the minis Of
the country to the unlimited coin

A RICH PRIZE.
Spanish Steamer Panama Captured By
thu Uan1roya.

Key West, April 26.-The light
house tender "Mangrove" pulled
proudly into Key West harbor this
morning with the richest prize Of
the war thus far. The captive was
the Panama. Capt. Quevedo, big
transatlantic liner and an auxili-
I-ary cruiser Of the Spanish navy.
| which has been plying of late be-
tween New York aud Havana. She
had 20 passengers, including three
| women, one Frenchlnen and one
Mexican and crew Of u.
I Asst Panama carried carried two
FOUNDERS she could easily have
annihilated the little Mangrove, .
| and as the latter came int0 harbor
with her prize, there was not craft
that did not salute her with rousing
| cheers.
The Panama" is Of abont $500
tons burden and her passengers
were mainly Spanish refugees fee
ing from New York and other points
in the United States to Havana.
Capt. Quevedo was grief-stricken
and greatly Inundated because OF
the capture. The passengers de-
clare they knew nothing Of the
blockade and that when they saw
the searchlight of the "Mangrove'
they thought it was the light of a
Spanish man-of-war. The first shot
changed their joy to apprehension,
the second and third created panic
The women ran screaming for shell
ter from the enemy's guns, and the
captain locked himself sullenly in
his cabin.
| The Panama" carries a valuable
cargo of general merchandise, in.

Much of it was meant to provision
the Spaniardsi in Cuba and the cargo

taken. Under the regulations, how
ever, the battleship Indiana" will

Madrid newspapers poke fun at
Minister Woodford for carrying an

Spaniards do not know what a

The appointment of General Joe
Wheeler of Alabama to be a Major
General of the United States forces
was wise stroke of policy on the
part of our President. 1t completes
what the appointment of Fitzhugh
Lee begun. 1t is the last, supremest
token of the unification and solidi-
tication of the States. What strange
events do the processes of time un-
fold! Here is a man who, as a
Major in the Union army, faced in
the death struggle of a third of a
century ago, two Confederate officers
two officers whom he now ap-
points to positions of the highest
rank in the army of the Union.
1t is spectacle of the deepes: sig
nifcance. 1t is q deed at which
the heart of every true American
should rejoice. 1t announces to
the entire universe that the nation
is as one again-no North, no South.
The dividing line is wiped out, and
the Stars and Stripes are once more
and forever enshrined in the hearts
of united people. If the war with
Spain were to accomplish nothing
more than this, it would still have
done enough to be hailed as bless
ing in disguise. Let the nations of
Europe now understand once and
for all time that be who invites
trouble with US thereby incurs the
hostility of the most powerful ma.
ton on Gods footstool.-Virginia

A War Tax---Coin the Silver.

Congress is now preparing a bill
to raise money to carry onsthe war
with Spain. 1t is proposed to tax
everything that can bear the bur
den, except incomes. The tax on
beer and tobacco will probably be
doubled, but that on whisky will
not be increased, az experience has
proved that a higher tax on that
stimu!ant would result IN less reve-
nue.. There will be a tax on patent
medicines, on deeds, mortgages,
promissory notes and other obliga-
tons, and possibly on transfers Of
stock in incorporated companies,
and on many other things.
Heretofore in war times incomes
In excess of a certain amount were
taxed, and. strange to say, the con-
etitutionality of that method of in
creasing the revenue of the Govern
ment was not questioned. Recently,
however, since the money powers
were given control of the Govern
ment, an obliging Justice of the Su-
prsme Court was induced to change
his mind and the court decided that
incomes are sacred and cannot be
taxed for any purpose,
There are 500, 600, 900 in silver
bars, purchased under the Sherman
Act Of 1890, now lying in the Treas
ury vaults as useless for monetary
purposes az cobble stones. Why
should not the Government start
the minis coming that bullion into
full legal tender money at once?
Every dollar of it will be required
and only the rich. whose incomes
cannot be taxed, will object. There
is not soldier or sailor, who enlists
tor the war, who will object to re-
ceiving part of his pay in silver.
Now is the time to coin that bullion
and get it in circulation among the
people. and the goldbug who objects
should be branded as traitor to
his country.

Captain DeLamar Sues for Divorce.

1t appears that Captain DeLamar
has sued his wife for divorce, the
action being instituted in Paris.
For long time there has been Il
good deal of gossip about her be-
havior, and it now appears tn,
captain believes there is suflicien,
foundation for it TO warrant him in
asking for release from the bono
that binds him to her.
On the subject the Chicago Trib-
une says:
"Mr. Joseph r. DeLamar, who som,
five years ago Vas well known III New

grams received in this city from Paris,
Oesun proceedings for divorce from his
wife, formerly Miss Nellie Sands, of this

The married life of the DeLamars
has extended over period of abou,
six years. The captain. as he was
then known, met Miss Sands 1T al
American watering place, where che
was staying with her mother. Both
mother and daughter were extreme

not possessed Of overmuch Of this

contrary, was possessed Of almost

appearance and manners were not

saw the daughter. and then he lost

Hanna Guilty Of Bribery.

The State Senate of Ohio, which
has been investigating the charges
of bribery against M. A. Hanna,
has found him guilty of the crime,
and report him unfit to represent
the State in the Senate. The report,
which was signed by four Of the
five members of the committee, in
Guiding Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, reviews the testimony al
length. 1t states that Hanna and
others implicated in the bribery Of
members we're subpeonaed to appear
before the committee to be given
opportunity to explain away the
charges, but they refused to do so
and purposely absented themselves
from the State. The committee
finds from the evidence that Senator
NJ. A. Hanna is guilty of the crime
of attempting to bride members OF
the Legislature to vote for him, and
it respectfully submits that such a
man as Marcus A. Hanna is not fl
to represent the great State of Ohio
in the United States Senate and
that he should be expelled from
that august body as an act of public
justice.
The Senate sustained the report
Of the committee and resolved that
an authenticated copy of the testi.
mony taken and the report be trans
mitted to the President of the
United States Senate.
Hanna was determined to be
United States Senator from Ohio
at any price and succeeded by brib-
ing members to vote for him. In
tho Senate be was intent on main
tanning peace with Spain at any
price, but failed. He will now en-
deavor to bold bic seat 10 the Senate
at any price, and in that be may be
successful.

put a prize crew on board. The
