Each Member Determined to Ventilate
His Opinion on Subject.

less discussion of the war revenue
measures. Not the slightest material
toward disposing of the bill. Speeches
were made by Mr.. Mason. Rep, H.,
Mr.. Lodge, Rep, Mass, and Mr.. Ell
kins, Rep, w. Va.
Mr.. Mason strongly advocated an
amendment to the bill placing a tax
upon wheat flour adulterated either
with clay or with corn flour and pre-
sented a long statement by the Ma
tional Association of American Mil
lers in support of his contention.
Mr.. Lodge had intended to defend his
action in Offering the Hawaiian an
nexation resolutions as an amendment
to the pending bill but refrained, be-
cause he said, a secret session would

started.
After commenting some what severe
" upon the arrogance of the minority
which prevented action upon ques-
ton which the administration and ma
iority in both Houses of Congress de-
sired to dispose of, he began discus

out of the present war.

Now that there Is another chance for a

army movements will wait until that
conflict, which it is hoped will result
in the destruction of the enemy, shall
actually take place. Should Admiral
Sampson prove victorious, no doubt Is
entertained that orders will be given
for instant embarkation, and the Op.

for will be at hand.

Washington, May 1.-THE dispatch
es from Hong Kong brought welcome
news today from Admiral Dewey to
the president, and particularly to Sec
rotary Long and the naval officers who
are watching the admiral's movements
with SO much interest. While no APP
%prehension existed as to his security,
nevertheless reinsurance of safety is al
ways pleasant. The kilograms in
dictate that Dewey has lost none of the
prestige gained in his memorable fight
OF two weeks ago, and that while he re-
Trains from taking the city of Manila,
he has it practically at his mercy. The
admiral expresses the belief that the
rebels are hemming the city in by
land, but the fact that he says explicit
ly that they have made no d~emonstra-
ton seems to disprove thoroughly the
published reports that they had al
ready entered Manila and had begun a
career of bloodshed and rapine.
