WARS DRAIN on THE TREASURY
secretary Gage Gives His View. "a
the senate Finance Committee

IN
tne senate Finance Committee
The Senate committee on finance resumed
It's sitting at 1870 today, hearing Secre-
ts-rv cage on the necessity for including
IN the war revenue bill authority for the
issue OF bonds. The Secretary supplied the
committee all the information in his Dos
SESSION as TO the cost of the war I'D to
date and also the best estimates obtain
able Of future expenses.
Secretary Gage told the committee that
the best estimates obtainable indicate that
Tor the next two months the war will in
crease the governmental expenditure about
$oo,ooo,ooo. By that time the entire amount
IN the treasury, with the exception of the
gold reserve, would be exhausted, and $780,
ooo,OOO of the reserve also taken
Mr. Gage also stated 1t to be his opinion
that the revenues would decrease on ac-
count of the war. In view of these facts
he considered some authorization for the
issue of bonds necessary. He said no
estimate had been made of the cost of the
war for year hence, no one could say
how long 1t would continue.
Among other propositions discussed by
the finance committee in connection with the
revenue bill at its afternoon session yester-
day was one looking to a change in the pro-
visions of the bill regarding beer and
manufactured tobacco so as to exempt the
goods On hand of both articles from taxa
ton. The democrats suggested the wisdom
of a tax on various industries and of a
modified income tax, but vote was
taken on either of them. There was also
some desultory discussion of the demo-
cratic proposition to issue treasury notes,
which should not be made legal tender for
all debts.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Two Important Opinions Expected
From the Attorney General.

From the Attorney General.
Attorney General Griggs will hand to the
President in a few days two opinions of the
greatest importance and interest to the
District of Columbia ard to employees of
the government printing office.
The President recently asked the opinion
OF the Attorney General as to whether the
civil service laws contemplate the placing
by executive order of employees of the Dis
tiict government within their scope Under
the Cleveland administration an opinion
was given that these employees were not
within the law. Subsequently the District
Commissioners made an order which put
into practical operation civil service prin-
ciples, but the operation of this has not
been continuous. The Attorney General
has given the question full consideration,
and his answer is about ready for the
President.
The other opinion relates to whether 1t
is legal for the government printing office
to remain under the civil service laws. 1t
is confidently believed that the Attorney
General will decide against the Office re-
manning under the civil service The Pres
ident will. it is understood by men familiar
with the question, accept the opinion of
Attorney General Griggs and issue an order
placing the government printing ofi1ce out
side civil service rules.
The civil service commission is still at
work on the order which the President will
promu,gate making exemptions in the op-
erations OF the law. Members of the conn
mission are in almost daily conference with
cabinet officials regarding the positions
which have been recommended by these
omciais for exemption from the law.

port dld not come from an official source

slooo that Sir Julian would remain here at
least u ltil next September, as the age limit

against him until then. Moreover Sir In
