Washington. June with no evidence
of excitement and without incident
worthy of special note, but with mani
festations of deep interest, the war reve-
nue. bill was passed by the Senate this
evening at 705 O'Clock. The bill was
under consideration eight hours today.
A score or more attempts were made to
amend it, but in only three or four in
stances were the attempts successful.
Particular effort was made to amend the
bond provision of the measure, but it
was futile in every instance. The most
notable amendment made to the measure
today WAS that offered by Mr.. Tillman,
Democrat Of South Carolina, placing q
duty of ten cents pound on all tea i'm
ported into the United States. The
amendment created no debate and was
adopted by vote of 80 to SO. 1t is calcu-
lated by the Senate experts that the duty,
If it be finally enacted into law. will
raise at least $40, 900, 900 a year and
probably more.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Chiffon,
Democrat of Arkansas, a member of the
finance committee, provides for a tax
graduated according to price upon all
articles sold under patent right, trade
mark. or name not open to general use
and which are not otherwise taxed by
the bill.
Through an amendment offered by Mr.
Lindsay, Democrat of Kentucky, the
Senate decided not to place a stamp tax
upon bundles of papers wholly or parti-
ally printed, which weigh less than 100
pounds A tax of cents a barrel was
placed on adulterated -four and a stamp
tax Of cent emitting the holder to seat
IN palace or parlor cal or berth in q
sleeping car, the company selling the
seat or berth being required to affix ii
stamp. On the passage of the measure
every Republican voted in the affirmative.
BY parties, the vote in favor o. the meas
ure was as follows:
Republicans, 80; Democrats, z; Popu-
lists, 1; Silver Republican, /. Total, 49,
Against the bill: Democrats, 20; Popu-
lists, Z; Silver Republican, l., Total, Is;
The Democrats who voted for the bill
were Messrs Gallery, German, Lindsay.
McEnery, Mitchell, Murphy and Turpie.
The Populist WAS Mr. Kyle, and the Sill
yer Republican, Mr.. Mantle.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
AS ~ aihenumen6 was pendlng When
the bill came up MIR. Allison suggested
that the bill be reported from the con-
mittee of the whole to the Senate. The
suggestion developed several amendments
and also the absence of quorum.
Mr.. Mason, Republican of Illinois, who
said he had an important amendment,
demanded call of the Senate.
Alter delay Of Is minutes, quorum
was secured.
Mr. Morgan, Democrat of Alabama,
then took the floor and offered the amend
ment OF which he gave notice yesterday,
requiring the secretary of the treasury
to proceed with the collection of taxes

way of looking at it they have done him

this letter he had been regarded in this
country as noisy, clustering follow
with little sense or discrinina His
letter shows him to be possessed of a good
deal of both. He cherishes none of the
decisions which affiict many of his coun.
trymen about the outcome of the war,
perhaps because he is acquainted with the
resources of the United States better than
they, and frankly ayows his belief that
the sooner Spain makes peace the less she
VIII lose. His comments upon affairs
in this country show that he is Or 3tty
accurate observer. He is certainly not
very far out of the way when he says that
the Americans have far less confidence
IN their army than in their navy, though
he does not furnish the explanation
