BRYAN AND IfIs REGIMENT.
Numb,r Of Discharges Grnntcd-rhe CJl.
Onel's Sick LOnvc.

Washington, Oct. .l.-Tho request
Of Col. Bryan of the Third Nebraska
infantry for the discharge Of num-
Der of tho men of that regiment, who
desire to return to thor homes, was
granted by tho secretary of war to-
day in about Is cases. The applica.
tons in these casos each received tho
approval Of tho brigade and corps
commanders. They were based upon
various reasons, including ill health
and private business necessities. 1t
is understood that thero arc nearly
100 mon in the regiment who are
doing their utmost to secure their
discharge. 1t is said that Colonel
Bryan has endorsed the applications
in many cases, but thut they lack tho
approval of tho brigade and corps
commanders In case OF favorable
action by tho reviewing authorities
tho applications will ho grantod by
tho war department without further
consideration. In tho event, how
over, that tho applications lack the
favorable endorsement Of tho review
ing officers, tho officials Of the war
department. will mako an lndepend-
ent investigation Of each case and
decide it OH ts morits.
1t is sniti at tho war department
that nothing has yet been heard
from tho Governor Of Nebraska re-
garding the selection of tho Nobras-
ka regiment TO bo mustered out in
order to bring tho number Of troops
furnished by that State within the
regulation quota As understood
hore, tho Governor desires, before
roaohing IL decision in that matter,
to hear from the officers and mon Of
the two regiments concerned, viz:
tho First regiment, now in tho Phil
Iippincs and the Third regiment
(Col. Bryan's) ROW st jacksonville.
1t il further stated at tho depart
mont that in case COL Bryan desires
an extension of leave he would ap-
ply therefor to his brigade com
mandor and not to the war depart
mont, that il, unless he should de-
siro leave for moro than 30 dnys.
Brigade commanders arc authorized
to grant leave of absence to tho cili-
cors of their commands for period
not exceeding 30 days. All appli-
cations for lenvo for more than 30
days must be acted upon by the sec
rotary of war.
1t is not anticipated that Colonel
Bryan will have any trouble in
securing an extension Of loave, es-
pecially in Wow Of tho fact that he
has not yol fully recovered his
hoalth. A surgeons certificate Of
disability in his case liz ali that il
necessary to secure him an extension
leave
1t is stated at the war department
that no orders have boon issued to
Colonel Bryan to return at once to
his regiment. When Colonel Bryan
| left Jacksonville he had leave Of ab-
sconce for soven days. That leave
has about expired. He has made no
application to tho war department to
have it extended.

SENATE AND THE WAR REVENUE

dill Expected to Occupy the Body
All the Week.
Washington May 15.-The war revenue
bill will occupy the attention of the SEN
ate this week. almost 10 the exclusion of
other business, and there is no probability
that the bill can be. disposed Of during the
week. Indications now are for two
weeks debate and there is no assurance
that it will be concluded within that
period of time. The opponents of the bill
dsavow any intention to unnecessarily de-
lay the perfection of this legislation, but
they do not conceal their purpose of TAX
ing time to present their views on the
various questions involved, and il looks
as lf it would be impossible for them to
do this within less time than two weeks.
The principal portion of the debate will
be on the report of the Republican mem
bers of the council in favor of restoring
the bond provision.
The probabilities remain that this prop
ositiOn will probably prevail if the war
continues but before a vote can be reach
ed upon it there viii be great deal of
talk for and against it, The entire finan-
cial question will be involved 10 an ex-
tent, and probably most of the senator's,
who oppose the bond issue, will be heard.
before the conclusion of the discussion.
The Republican senators generally are
averse to prolonged discussion. but the
Democratic and silver Republicans say it
viii be necessary for them to explain
and defend their position.
Senator Allison will open the debate on
Monday with a statement on behalf of
the Republican members of the commit
tee on finance, and he will be followed
by some Democratic member OF the COM
mittee probably Senator Jones. Beyond
this, there is no data upon which to base
a statement of the probabilities. 1t is quite
certain, however that there will be no
dearth of speeding king nor of speech
makers.

NATURES Gardens in Alaska.
From the Atlantic.


The most extensive, least spoiled and
most unspollabe of the gardens Of the
continent are the vast tundras of Alaska
Every summer they extend smooth, even,
undulatng, continuous beds of flowers and
leaves from about latitude g. degrees to
the shores of the Arctic ocean. And in
winter sheets of snow flowers make all the
country shine, one mass Of white radiance
like a star Nor are these arctic plant
people the pitiful frost-pinched unfortu-
mates they are guessed to be by those who
have never seen them. Though lowly in
stature, keeping near the frozen ground
as if loving il, they are bright and CHEEKY,
and speak natures love as plainly as their
big relatives Of the South. Tenderly tucked
in beneath downy snow to sleep through
the huge white winter, they make haste to
bloom in the spring without trying to grow
tall, though some rise high enough TO rip
PIE and wave In the wind and display
masses of color-yellow, purple, and blue
so rich they look like beds of rainbows
and are visible miles and miles away.
And in September the tundra CLOVIS in
creamy golden sunshine, and the colors OF
the ripe foliage of the heathworts, viii
lows and birch, red, purple and yellow, in
pure bright tones, are enriched with those
of berries which are scattered everywhere
as if they had been showered down from
the clouds like hail. Their colors, with
those OF the leaves and stems, blend har-
moniously with the neutral tins of the
ground of llchens and MOSES on which
they seem 40 be planted.
