BATTLE OVER THE BONDS.
senate Debate on War Revenue Bill
Apt to he Long.


Apt to BE Long.
Washington, May S.-The expectation is
that the war revenue bill will be received
in the Senate from the committee OF
finance about Wednesday, but its report
may be delayed for day or so beyond
that
The committee has found so many
changes that are desirable that progress
has necessarily been slow. This has proved
TO be true without regard to party lines.
The Republicans have suggested many
more amendments to the bill than have
the Democratic members, and many of
those suggested by them have been OF
such importance as to require careful at
tention
Whether the bill shall carry a provision
for new government loan on bonds de-
pend entirely upon Senator Jones of Ne.
vada. So far as can be learned he has
not yet made known his position to the
committee and the other members profess
to be ignorant on the subject
The understanding on the outside is that
he will oppose the bond feature and that
consequently, when the bill is reported
this provision will be eliminated, and prob
ably an authorization for the issuance
of greenbacks substituted for It,
Whatever the verdict of the committee
on the bond clause, the bond question win
form the basis of the Senates considera-
ton of the bill.
This subject will, In any event, be de-
bated at length in the Senate. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that, even though the COM
mittee displaces, the provision, the friends
of the bond policy will be strong enough
to restore it in the Senate if a vote is TAX
en-.
The opponents of bonds hold that the
strength of the bond provision is due to
the fact that a state of war exists and
they are hopeful that the war may come
to a close before it will be necessary to
any purpose of holding the bill in the Sen
ate with this purpose in view, but they
now assert it to be their intention to de-
bate the bill at length, or at least to the
extent necessary to present their views
fully to the country.
How much time will be necessary for
the Democratic suggestions in committee
cannot be foretold 1t would not, however
be very surprising if the bill should not
be taken up for debate before the last
days Of the week.
In the meantime, the Senate will devote
its time to miscellaneous questions. Mon
day will be given up to the postofice ap-
preparation bill, and speeches will be made
by Messrs. Faulkner, Butler. Petdgrew
and others.

TIGHTER MONEY IN LONDON.
Payment of Japan's Indemnity and
Greece's Loan Cause Stringency.

Payment of Japan's Indemnity and
Greece's Loan Cause Stringency.
London. May S.-With the completion of
the Japanese indemnity the supplies, of
cash have sensibly diminished, with a
consequent advance in loan and discount
rates
The announcement of the Greek loan
further hardened money
If the Spanish-American war is pro-
longed and the loan is fioated, further
large amounts of bullion will certainly go
to America, causing the Bank of England
to lose it's accumulations.
Even if peace comes soon, the shipments
must be important, owing to the advance
in the price of wheat and the heavy ship
ments of produce which America has
made to Europe for some time past.
What will be done with Japan's money
is not clear. The general opinion is that
not much of it will be released for the
present. The market prospective there
fore, is tightness for some time to come.

DEALS IN LEECHES.
Peculiar Calling I'm which a Chicago
Tradesnian Makes Money.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.


From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Fifty years ago the ordinary physician
had two standard remedies which he APP
piled 10 two-thlrds of his cases. II man
was suffering from a fever or stroke or
apoplexy his first resource was TO draw
out from a gill to half a pint Of blood
from one of his limbs; If bruise or
sprain caused a surface congestion he ap-
piled eech, which accomplished the
blood-letting on a smaller scale, so far as
the affected part was concerned.
The Ieech is a peculiar animal. He lives
in bitches and ponds, with pure running
water, weeds for shelter and muddy banks
and bottom He may be preserved and
kept alive in loose turf or moss continu-
ally moistened. He has an appetite for hu-
man blood which is limited only by the
amount that can be contained within his
very elastic skin. Until he has had his
fill he will not release his hold; then ne
drops off and dies. for the blood that he
absorbs so eagerly means death TO him.
There is a man in Chicago who makes
a business Of dealing exclusively In
leeches, and the number that he sells in
the course of a year proves that, although
generally discarded by the medical pro
fession there are still a great number OF
them used in the course Of year. All
along one side of his dingy little store are
piled wooden cases, some two feet square
Inside these boxes are filed with moist
black turf, which fairly swarms with
ugly little black bodies. There are ! $50
leeehes In each case. The cases are US
uany imported in lots Of from ten 10
twenty-five. so that i'm the course Of the
year the number handled by the dealer
must mount up close 10 the hundred thou
sands.
IAN my leeches come from Sweden"
says the dealer, thrusting his hand into
The moist earth and bringing up a num-
her OF the squirming things. There are
leeches in America, but they lack the Pc
cuiar efficacy of these, and, while they
will draw blood they are apt 20 leave
irritation and Inflammation behind. These
Swedish leeches are found IN the muck at
the bottoms of small ponds. They arc
dug M by the peasants mostly women
and children. and are packed In wet earth
n these wooden cases."

informed him that he was employed AZ
detective in another store, and bad
followed a shoplifter from his firms

pair, and the store detective wonders

THE LAST BULL RUN.
BY CAPT. GEORGE BAYLOR.

On April 8th (lS65) Mosby battaI-
ion met at Upperville, and Companies
D and H were ordered on a scout down
in Fairfax. AS Captain Glasscock, OF
Co. D, was my senior, upon him de-
volved the command Of the squadron,
and responsibility Of the venture. This
was relief to me. The men shared
with the leader equally in the glory of
victory, but the leader alone must bear
the shame and ignominy Of defeat. It
was especially pleasing on this occa-
sion to have another lift this burden
from my shoulders as the expedition
was bound to strange part Of the
country, and the aim and object, as
well as the great majority Of The men,
were unknown to me.
The march was made to Salem lnow
Marshall) on the 9Th, and the squadron
disbanded, with instructions to meet
on next day at Plains. Rest and re-
freshmeut was found by me at the hos
pitable mansion, "Waveland, where
pleasure and enjoyment could always
be found with the hosts of young COM
panv usually collected there.
The meeting was had on the 9th at
the appointed time and place, and
there I learned, to my great surprise,
from a note received from Captain
Glasscock, that he intended marrying
in few days, and would, in conse-
quence, be unable to accompany US,
and turning over to me the command.
Having acquainted myself with the
destination of the expedition, moved
off across Bull Run Mountain and
camped that night at place called
Arundels, short distance from Fair
fax station. The rain was falling in
torrents, and our preparations were
meager for such weather.
About the middle Of the night l was
informed by one of our officers, ac-
quainted with the country and the
people, that house and some young
ladies were close by, and ne proposed

solicitation could not be resisted. On
reaching the house, found quite lot

CHARLES ALBRIGHT. Colonel.

As it seems nay suspicious about the
Arundel family were not unfounded,
and the failure of the expedition Is laid
at the feet of our friends.
This was the last fight OF the war.
Gen. Lee had surrendered on the 9th,
but the fact was only known 10 US
through hostile sources, which was not
credited. 1t was strange coinci-
dence that my first and last fights were
in close proximity. On July 2lst,
1861, as private in Co. G (BOtts
Greys), I'd Virginia Infantry, Jack
sons Brigade, had received my bap-
tism of fire on the banks of Bull Run,
and now near the same spot, nearly
four years afterwards, had fred ny
parting shot.
From Bull Run to Bull Run, what
a tragedy What trials, hardships,
