WAR REVENUE BILL.
Senate Still Discussing the Measure
without Much Progress.

The bill to raise revenue for the war
received the entire attention of the Sen
ate yesterday. Speeches were made by
Senators Teller, Nelson, Cockrei and
German, who discussed the bill IN every
phase. Several amendments were offered
covering wide range of subjects foreign
to the ends intended to be reached by the
bill.
Mr.. Lodge proposed an amendment for
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands,
which was, in substance, the same as the
Newlands joint resolution.
Mr.. Pettigrew offered an amendment
repeating the treaty of 1873, and the con-
vention of 1884, between the United States
and the Kingdom of Hawaii.
The following amendment was also Of
fered by Mr.. Morgan
when any of the islands of the Allan
tic or Pacific Oceans are owned by the
United States, or when they are occupied
by the civil or military forces of the
United States as a result of war with
spain, or as necessary means of con-
ducting such war, to be determined by
the President as the commander -in-chief
of the Army and Navy of the United
States. II shall be lawful and within his
civil or military governor of such island
or any group of such islands with full
authority under such rules and regula-
tons as the President shall prescribe not
inconsistent with the laws of civilized
warfare to maintain good order and to
protect the lives and property, and the
domestic peace of the people thereof"
The other proposed sections are as fol-
lows:
land there shall be extended over such
islands and enforced therein such parts
or provisions of tax laws of the United
States or of such islands. whether relat-
ing to customs duties or internal taxa
ton, as shall, in the judgment and dis
cretion of the President. be justly appli-
cable to such islands during the exist
ence of the war with Spain.
''The currency of the United Safes
whether of gold, silver or paper money
shall be a lawful tender in said islands
so owned or occupied in the same manner
and 20 the same extent that they are q
lawful tender in the United States, in
the payment of all debts, public or pri-
yate.
And the provisions of this act that re-
late to such islands, together with such
| regulations as shall be made by order
of the President for executing the same
| shall remain ia force until the same are

At the conclusion of the morning bus
mess Mr.. Teller renewed his speech of
the day before continuing his argument
in favor of an income tax Mr.. Teller ia
vored the bid as reported from the FL
nance Committee.
Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota took the floor

Tellers remarks and said the proposed
issuance of greenbacks was the most in

TO. Mr.. Nelson referred TO the silver
seigniorage on which IL is proposed TO is
sue So. 0o0. 600 in silver certificates, and said
hep thought a much better way to utilize
that money was to coin il into subsidiary
coins and put II into circulation.
Mr.. Cockrell then spoke at some length
on the bill, confirming his remarks partic-
ularly to the money question and advo-
eating the issuance OF legal tender notes
and the coinage of the silver seigniorage
Mr. German took the floor at 3:30 i'm
mediately after Mr.. CockrelI had finished.
and made a lengthy argument against
the proposed issuance of greenbacks,
which he declared to be undemocratic
and calculated to impair the credit of
the Government. He also opposed the
proposed stamp tax.
He then turned his attention to the
corporation tax. and offered the amend
meut referred to by Mr.. White on the
day previous.
Mr.. German believes that small cor
porations ought not to be taxed. and his
amendment covers only such companies
or corporations as have an annual vol
ume of business Of $3.50 600 or over. The
amendment also raises the amount of the
tax to one-half OF per cent ins-ead of
one-quarter. as provided for by the bill.
This increase. he said. was in order to
cover the deficiency that would be made
if the odious stamp tax should be elimi-
mated, as he hoped II would.
At the conclusion of Mr. Gorman's $
speech the Senate adjourned, TO meet at
II O'Clock today.

DENOUNCED THE FRAUDS.
remarkable Statement Made by the
Chnirmnn of Pension Committee

chairman OF Pension Committee
Yesterday was private bill day in the
House. and the proceedings were Of in
terest only TO a limited number of pen
sioners and claimants. The bill to ex-
tend the outage" period for distilled
spirits. which was under consideration
Thursday. was pasesd
The bill TO pay the ehirs of the late
John Roach the sum of $2s.OOl alleged bal
ance due for the construction Of the Dol
phin, was passed, after sharp debate.
Pension bills were then taken up. and
he debate developed a remarkable fea-
ture of pension legislation, a noted cham
pion of pensions the chairman of the
committee having control of the subject,
openly and boldly denounced a pending
bill as "a fraud and an imposition"
The bill under consideration was one to
grant pension 81 so per month to
Capt Holly, of Colorado. Mr.. Ray. of
New York, Chairman of the Committee
on Invalid Pensions, asked the House to
defeat the bill He said that Capt Holly
had deliberately and systematically de-
ceived the Senate and the House: that
he had concealed the fact that he was
already drawing a pension of SS6 per
month and Mr.. Ray appealed to the
House to put its stamp of condemnation
on this ''papable fraud" The bill was
laid on the table.
The significant feature of the matter
was that the chairman of the committee
felt emboldened to stand before the House
and denounce pension fraud. Hitherto
there has been so patent a political ele-
ment IN these matters that a member OF
Congress would rather wink at fraud
than risk the danger of exposing it.
After passing a number of private bills
the House took recess until s p. m. The
usual batch of pension bills was passed
last night and then the House adjourned
until u o'clock next Tuesday

y futile attempt to play the role
above described was made in the
Presbyterian church at Westfie!d. n.
j., last Sunday evening. by the Rev.
W. Il. Campbell, Presbyterian clergy
man of Salt Lake city. Utah. That gem
teman was announced 10 preach
against tho pcrnicious activity OF the
Mormon Church." His text was:
Neither win be with you any more,
except We destroy the accursed from
among you which is recorded in
Joshua. I, u. In his cxorlium couched
in style which could scarcely be ex-
celled by n Colorado miner. he described
the Mormons as, "beastly, sensual.
dcvilish ana without any redeeming
feature" The inference was evident
The Mormon Church was the accursed
thing In Israel and which Israel must
destroy In order to regain the favors of
God.
The first reason why the accursed"
Mormon Church must be destroyed, the
speaker found In the teaching of that
Church about the Trinity, which he sup
ported by quotations from some books
written by Mormons on that subject.
He did not attempt to refute It by ar
gument. That. indeed. was not neccs-
sary. Was II not sufficient to claim that
the teaching Of the Mormons was an
'accursed" thing and hence must be
destroyed? That was always the kind
OF arguments with the "Reformers' of
the sixteenth century when they burned
