Losses and Cost OF War.

The question might be asked OF our.
selves, II the end iustaes the meIns2 If
the thousand slain in battle have made the
world any better by their untimely deaths?
President Mckinley thus far has been
pursuing policy of as few deaths as pos
sible In the present difficulties with Spain.
His plan meets our views as we would not
like to sec our brave boys IN blue slaught-
cred like sheep In butchers pom. But
our Jack tars are n brave lot and when
sthey get In an engagement they fight for
NIL they know how. They remember the
Maine. Tho battle of Bull Run cost the
North 5000 soldiers and the South 1000.
AT Shiloh 1900 Federals and 1l,00) Coz
federates foil. In :the seven do rs re-
treat" the two armies left behind the 49,
900 men. Antetam weakened the North
ern army by $4,000. At Gettysburg, go. 900
Federals and $4,000 Confederatss were
moved down. In the siege Of Vicksburg
the Southsrners lost 81 900 mon. The three
days In the Wilderness cost the North 81
600. Sherman, in his glorious march to
the sea left 81, 900 soldiers between Chatta-
nooga and Atlantic. Corinth has record

1900: Charlottesville, $4,000; Chicka-
manga, $4,000; Spottsylvania, $4,000; and
Stones Run. $1,000 men. And so the hor-
Rors might be enumerated.

miles Of the North 44,OoO were killed in &C
tion during the war; 40 900 died of wounds;
186, 900 died OF disease and q, 600 died from

The Franco. German war cost thousands
uf lives. France put 10000 men into the
eAeld Of which one third lost their lives.
Germany sent million soldiers. $4,000
were left on the field of battle, During
the last one hundred years the wars of
Christian Europe and America have cost
the lives of 50,000,000 men. The wars Of
the Century have destroyed nearly so COO,
O00. 00J of treasure, an expenditure repre-
senting the entire earnings Of more than u
million men for the entire one hundred
gear, and the present combined wealth of
Norway, Sweden, Denmark. the Mother
lands, Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey and
Greece. Today the debts of the worlds
Beading nations aggregate $4,000, COO 900

Germans Corporation Tax Defeated.
Washington, June marked prog
ress was made by the senate yesterday
towards the final disbosition of the war
revenue measure. The committee
amendments on nearly 60 pages of the
bill were passed upon, and the sem
ate nearly reached the principal ques-
lions at issue between the contending
parties. The amendment of Mr. Cor
man, Of Maryland, levying a tax of
one-quarter of l per cent upon the
gross receipts of all corporations doing
business exceeding $250,OO year was
rejected. Mr.. Pettigrew offered the
German amendment with the clause
containing the $25O,000 exemption
stricken out, but 1t was also defeated.
Mr.. White then proposed the German
amendment so modified that 1t levies
a tax Of one-quarter of per cent upon
all corporations engaged in the re-
filming of sugar or petroleum. The
amendment prevailed.

For President Of the French Chamber

Paris, June 2.-The balloting for
president of the chamber of deputies
resulted In a majority of one for M.
Deschanel, the voting standing 277 for
M. Dechanel and 276 for NJ. Brisson.
The narrow majority caused an uproar,
the Radicals loudly claiming that a
bare majority of one did not invest
Dcschanel with adequate authority. An
angry clamor, accompanied by the
banging Of desks, ensued, and the tenn
porary president was obliged to sus-
pend the sitting without the matter be-
ing settled. The chamber subsequently
decided upon q reballot for president.
