WAR REVENUE BILL.
Not Reported to the House Yester-
dav as Was Expected.

WASHINGTON. April 25.-The War
revenue tariff bill was not reported to
the House to-day At the meeting of
the Ways and Means Committee to-
day. when the bill framed by the Re-
publicans was formally presented for
consideration. the Democrats protest
ed earnestly against programme they
thought would prevent them from ex-
aiming it's provisions thoroughly be-
fore it was reported to the House.
They also asked for an opportunity to
offer amendments in committee.
After some discussion it was decided
that the bill should be gone over, the
Republicans explaining its provisions,
and tomorrow the Democrats should
be allowed to offer amendments. The
bill will be reported to the House to-
morrow. but it's consideration probably
will not begin until Wednesday.
The Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee had an
other conference this afternoon, as a
result of which Chairman Dingley at a
late hour reintroduced his war revenue
bill. with a number of important
amendments framed to meet objections.
The amended bill is likely to be laid
before the full committee tomorrow.

the House and the news that the COM
mittee had unanimously agreed upon a
bin declaring the existence of a state
of war was known all over the House.
Adams held hurried consultations with
the Speaker and members and Messrs.
Dinsmore and Berry of the minority
Of the committee.
At 1:20 p. NJ he asked unanimous
consideration of the bill declaring the
existence Of a state of war between this
country and the Kingdom of Spain.
There was not a murmur of dissent.
The bill was read. The House held its
breath. The bill reads as follows:
A bill declaring that war exists be-
tween the United States of America and
the Kingdom of Spain. Be it enacted,
etc.
First, that war be and the same is
hereby declared to exist, and that war
has existed since the Dist of April A.
D. 1898, including said day. between
the United States of America and the
Kingdom Of Spain.
Second, that the President of the
United States be and hereby is direct
ed and empowered to use the entire
land and naval forces of the United
States and TO call into actual service of
the United States the militia of the
several States to such extent as may be
necessary to carry this Act into effect.
Mcguire CD of California arose to
ask a question, but refrained.
The question was put on the third
reading and passage of the BILL and in
magnificent chorus the whole House
responded "Aye!"
The announcement Of its passage was
greeted with a round of applause and
a cheer or two from the floor and gal
leries, and then the House resumed
consideration of the election case.
There was no excitement. 1t required
exactly one minute and forty-one sec
onds for the House to pass the bill. No
such impressive action can be recorded
in the legislative annals of any country
The House Representatives had simply
paused in it's routine business to pass
a declaration of war.
Mcguire explained subsequently that
his purpose in rising was to ask Wheth-
er the declaration in the bill that War
had existed since April DIST was intend
ed to Iegalize the seizure of the Buena-
ventura. Il consider that act and other
seizures up to this time nothing more
than piracy" said he.
The Wise Young election contest
from Virginia was next taken up.
Mesick made the opening argument in
the election case in favor of the con-
testant, Wise.
Burke CD of Texas, Yost (R.) of Vir-
ginia and De Almond CD of Missouri
spoke on the election case.
Just prior to adjournment, Speaker
Reed signed the bill declaring the exist
ence of a state Of war.
When the army reorganization bill,
with Senate amendments, came back to
the House, on motion of Hull, the
amendments were non-cOncurred in,
and the bill was sent to conference.
Cox CD Of Tennessee and Marsh R.)
of Illinois were appointed conferees.
At 5:10 p. m. the House adjourned.

CABINET MEETING.
Presidents Message and Subject OF
Privateering Discussed.

WASHINGTON, April ga special
session of the Cabinet was called early
this morning for the purpose Of re-
viewing a message which the President
transmitted to Congress to-day, recon-
mending that Congress, in the exercise
of powers vested in it by the Constitu-
ton, formally declare war against the
Kingdom of Spain.
The announcement of Spain on the
subject of privateering, as published in
the morning papers, was read and was
generally commented upon In all
probability an announcement on the
subject of the treatment of Spanish
vessels now in American ports will be
issued from the Navy Department
shortly.
Members of the Cabinet discredit the
report that the United States naval Of
ficials have taken possession of the
Hawaiian Islands, and doubt is eX-
pressed of the truth of the statement
that the Asiatic squadron will attack
the Spanish forces on the Philippines.

his resignation, to take effect at as early
date as will suit the Presidents con-
yenience.
Sherman retires from public life
after a service of over forty years, EN-
bracing the House of Representatives
the United States Senate, the Secre-
%s.yship of the Treasury and the Secre-
taryship of State. The reason for the
resignation is the condition of the Sec
retary's health, which is impaired as
the result of years of devotion to the
public service and the arduous labors OF
a lifetime, added to his age, the veneer
able Secretary now being within fe"
days OF 70.
Assistant Secretary Day has been
urged to take the office by the President,
but is personally more inclined to re-
turn to Canton to the practice of law
there, though it is believed here that he
will yield to the Presidents wishes in
the matter.
Judge Day is in Canton, Ohio arrang-
ing his personal affairs. He has had
entire charge of Cuban affairs almost
since the beginning of the present Ad-
ministration.
JUDGE DAY ACCEPTS.
CANTON co., April 25.-Judge Day
reached Canton at 1925 a. m. to-day.
He looked in good health. The Associ-
ated Press correspondent informed him
of the resignation of Secretary Sher-
man When asked if he would accept
the vacant place he replied simply; L
will take the matter under considera-
ton
While Judge Day declined to talk for
publication, the Associated Press CORE
spondent believes it can be said as a fact
that, under existing circumstances,
Judge Day will accept the Secretary
ship if the President dominates him and
the Senate takes favorable action.
Judge Day made great business sac
rifce when he accepted the place OF AS
sistant Secretary of State. He has not
felt that he could afford to take Cab
met portfolio, but under present CIR
cumstances it is not believed that he
will decline.
Later it was announced that Judge
Day would accept.

Strong foreign markets have caused a
marked advance at Chicago and the local
market has followed; both spot and flu

vanced figures; the May option is very
quiet but December is fairly active. Oats
are strong prices are unchanged: receipts
to-day were light. Corn is inactive and
prices will soon be lower. Rye is firm, in
sympathy with other grains.
The Hay market is less active and some
dealers quote lower prices. Straw is very
scarce and firm at the advanced figures.
Bran is less firm.
Receipts of Cherries were so boxes and

Bouldin Island arrived late. Oranges sell
well at quoted prices. Cherries do not
move readily. Blackberries from Covina
arrived late; a few sold at l5c per basket.

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
House to-day passed the Senate bill
declaring the existence of a state of
war between the United States and the
Kingdom Of Spain in manner which
cannot fail to impress the world. The
representatives of seventy millions of
people voted for it without a word of
debate, without a dissenting vote, and
without a roll call, but with a solemn
appreciation of the gravity of their mo-
mentous action. 1t required but one
minute and forty-one seconds to ac-
complish this The House was consid-
ering an election case, and simply
paused to declare war. There was no
excitement, no cavil, no word or ques-
ton. 1t was only in the great cheer
that went up from the floor and the
gallery when Speaker Reed announced
its passage that the tremendous import
Of the Act and the suppressed enthusi-
asm behind it was shown.
After the Presidents message was
read the Committee on Foreign Affairs
framed the resolution. Acting Chair
man Williams wrote the report, and it
was passed on its way to the Senate
in an hour and six minutes. The
Speak signed it at 4:24.
The remainder of the day was devot-
ed to the election case of Wise VS..
Young from the Second Virginia Dis
trict
The House declined to agree to the
Senate amendments to the army reor-
ganization bill, and it was sent to con-
ference.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The galleries of the House were
thronged this morning in anticipation

gress to make a formal declaration Of

was listened to with profound atten-
ton. There was no demonstration.
The message was ordered printed and
referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs by the Speaker. The commit
tee met at 12:3J p. m. to formulate a
declaration of war in harmony with
the Presidents message.
After the message had been referred
the House proceeded with the consider
alton of District of Columbia business.

ceedings until shortly after 1 o'clock,

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The war
bill was brought from the Capitol by
the clerk of the enrolling division, AND
reached the White House a few min
utes before g. The White House was
almost deserted at the time, not one
of the Cabinet being with the Presi-
dent except Acknowledgement Griggs

before the President in his office i'm
mediately on its arrival, and he al
