wAR-REvENUE-BILL CAUCUS.
Senate Tobacco Amendment Pro-
habIyf 10 stand.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Repubh-
can members of the Conference Commit
tee on the war-revenue bill were in eau
Gus for about four hours to-day, and, IT
is stated by members of the caucus that
they practically reached an agreement
on the most important items Of difference
between the two houses. They relate 10
the coinage Of the silver bullion, the
form Of the bond provision, and the
amount Of the bonds, the inheritance
tax. the duty on tea, etc.
These questions have not yet been
raised in the fun conference, and the
Republicans decline TO state any points
Of their agreement.
The general impression among senators
is that there will be some provision for
coming the seigniorage, and possibly all
the silver bullion in the Treasury, but II
is not believed that the terms or the
Senate provision will be accepted with
out material modification.
Two sessions Of the full committee
were held. but I'm these only matters Of
minor importance were passed upon, and
as a rule the Senate amendments on
these matters were accepted.
There is quite a contest over the Sem
ate amendment excepting the tobacco
stocks on hand from taxation, but this
schedule has not been passed upon. The
indications are, however, tina. the Senate
provision will stand.

DRILLING THE THIRD.
Hard and Dusty Work-Miss the
GirIs-Struck Water,


CAMP ALGER, June 7.--(Special bat
TALON drill in the Third Regiment was
held for the first time this morning, when
companies X, NJ, G., and c went through
battalion evolutions under the command
of Lieutenant-C Colonel Kellar. The drilling
of the companies considering they
had not been together before, was very
good. Colonel KeIlar put them through
the simpler movements. paying special at
tention to the minor points. such as the
positions Of the guides, etc.
This afternoon at 230 drill-call was
sounded, and every company took the
field staying out from one to two hours.
This drill was the hardest the men have
gone through yet, as the backgrounds are
nothing more than an old cornheld with
Dust on every part two inches thick. The
men were dirty and hot when they came
in, and there is absolutely no place to
bathe.
MISS THE PRETTY GIRLS
There are hardly any visitors to camp,
and the boys OF the regiment miss the
pretty faces of the Richmond girls, whose
coming was looked forward to with plea
sure every afternoon of our stay at Camp
Lee. Capt. Wizards men, most Of whom
reside near here, are the only ones to
whom the opportunity has been presented
to act as hosts.
The only events to break the monotony
of camp-life during the day were the ar
rival of the first mail, which was hailed
with delight by officers and men, and
the later arrival of quartermasters' stores.
which consist of uniforms, hats, over
shirts, and underclothes, which will prob
ably be distributed 10 the men tomorrow.
The only subjects of conversation among
the men seem 10 be in regard TO our fu-
ture destination, which Is anXiously dis
cussed and speculated on, and as to when
the regiment will be paid. The boys have
been much disappointed TO learn that
some OF the troops, who had been here
several weeks, have not yet received
cent from the government

among the men that the regiment will
leave here in a short time, though as
far as I can learn there Is nothing sub

When any one is desirous of learning
or being informed in regard to thing,
a place or city, a personal inspection
or visit is the best way to satisfy that
desire. But if you are unable TO do
that, then the next best thing is to de-
rive your information from some one
who has been able to make the inspec
ton or visit. There are comparatively
few of us who have seen London or
will be able to see it. DR.. SlutZ visited
London, made it a study for a lecture,
which will be interesting and instruct
i've. We enjoy reading about the great
est city in the world and will enjoy
hearing the doctor talk 2 out it a great
deal more. No doubt number of our
people will visit the Paris exposition in
1900, and will take in London on the
trip, and all the information you can
get from one who has visited it will be
of decided advantage when you reach
the city to make your visit more pleas
ant and profitable. The doctor will
give his lecture on next Tuesday even
ing at the First NJ. E. church. Miss
Stotler has consented to sing solo and
Miss Whitney and Miss Hamilton a
duet. 1t will undoubtedly be an even
ing of pleasure and profit.
