AMMUNITION ON ARGoNAuTA.
steamer With Spanish Soldiers Aboard
Was a Valuable One.

Key West, Fla, May 2O.-Over forty
cases of ammunition were found today on
the Spanish steamer Argonauta, captured
during the first days Of the war. 1t was
on board this steamer that Lieut.. Col.
Cortijo, Weyler's brother-in-law was cap
tured with other Spanish soldiers now
prisoners in Fort cPherson, Atlanta.
Z The discovery of the war supplies on
board the Argonauta will not change the
status of her case before the prize court,
as it had already been decided today, be-
fore learning of the find, that the steam
or was legitimately prize of war, no
claims having been filed by the owners of
the ship or cargo. A like decision was
rendered in the cases of the steamer Am
brosio Bolivar and tine schooner Candi-
dita, Mathilda and Sophia. The only
forInality remaining to make the vessels
the absolute property Of the United
States is the confirmation by the Federal
court authorities of the findings Of the
prize commission. The case of the Buena
Ventura, the first capture of the war and
the Pedro, Catalina, Miguel Jova, Pana-
ma and Guido, all large and valuable
steamers, will have 30 be tried in regular
form by the United States court, claims
having been filed by the owners of the
ships and cargo. ~
The summons in the cases of the bark
entine Erasquiot and the brigantine
Lorenzo are returnable on Wednesday.
The barkentine Carlos T. Rosas, 75C
tons, captured by the New York off
Havana on Tuesday, was brought in here

doubted the constitutionality OF sucn
tax. il oncht to be made fai r and eqult-
able
MI, Bacon of Georgia, inquired OF the
committee why the childless widow
should be exempt from payment OF the
tax and not the orphaned chlldren.
Mr. Moloott replied that the COIN mlttee
had to draw the line somewhere ana ~
had been drawn upon all legatees from
the wife, down the entire course OF sue
cession
The proposed tax was war measure
and he believed it a proper one.
Mr.. Lodge could see no good reason LOT
excepting requests from n WlIe 10
husband. He therefore moved that the
bill:
That all legacies or property passing
by will, or, by the laws of any state or
territory to husband or wife OF the per-
son died possessed as aforesaid shall be
exemI from tax or duty. -
Mr. Lodge said he was In favor OF an
inheritance tax, but any exemptions or
exceptions We're unfair. The objection
he had to the committees proposition was
that it took away from the state one OF
their necessary sources of revenue.
The field of state taxation was narrow
at best and if the general government
should take away from the state the in
heIitance taxes and the tax on banks
and corporations, it would prove seri-
Gus embarrassm ant to them. #
Mr.. Lodges amendment was rejected
Pending the decision of an amendment
by Mr. Bacon, the Inheritance tax para
graph was passed over. Upon the compile
tion of the reading of the bill, Mr.. AL
drich offered the bond provision and the
provision authorizing certificates of in
debtedness as substitutes for the sections
of the bill reported by the majority of
the committee, providing for the coinage
of the silver seigniorage, the issue of sill
yer certificates and the issue of United
States notes. The bill was then laid
aside.
The Senate agreed on the motion. of
MIR. Aldrich, then when 1t adjourn today,
it be until Monday next. Mr.. Aldrich
explained that the committee on finance
desired to consider amendments tomor-
row and that an adjournment would ex.
pedite the consideration Of the bill. The
Senate at 4.S5 p M, went into executive
session, and shortly afterwards adjourned

The Eulogies Upon MI. Gladstone in House
of Commons.

London. May 20.-Ihe eulogles of Mr.
Gladstone in the House of Commons to-.
dav formed a historic episode. There
ware more members assembled in the
House than upon any occasion since Mr.
G1adstone himself introduced the Home
Rn1a hill They filled every seat, clus-
tered On the steps of the Speakers dais
and the Peers gallery was crowded with
the foremost members OF the House OF
Lords. The United States ambassado,
and all the member of his staff were
among the diplomats present After
PRAYERS they silently awaited Mr. Bulfour
for quarter of an hour and when he
rose. all heads were barred.
The House went into committee to con
slider the address to the Queen In regard
to the interment of the remains of MIR.
Gladstone in Westminster Abbey.
Mr. A.. J. Balfour, the government lead
er, and first lord of the treasury, in spite
of his illness, which is officially aoknowl-
edged, was able to move the address.
He introduced the subject with O
lengthy eulogy of the deceased, speaking
with evident emotion, and concluded
with formally moving the presentation of
the address to the Queen.
The Liberal leader, Sir, William Vernon
Harcourt, seconded the motion.
In so doing, the Liberal leader paid a
heartfelt tribute to the deceased states
man, and Mr.. John Dillon, the Irish lead
er, did the same.
The address to the Queen was then
adopted.
Mr.. Balfour's speech WAS remarkably
eloquent and displayed great good taste,
while Sir William Harcourt's enconlums
of his dead leader were delivered in q
more glowing style. The Liberal leader s
voice thrice broke with emotion and he
was compelled to pause and wipe his eyes.
Mr.. Dillon was in his most oratorical
style and when he described how Mr.
Giadstone's sy1npathies were unhounded
by nationality and embraced the oppressed
of all races, the Irish benches responded
with murmurs of assent.
