THE REVENUE BILL
IN THE SENATE,
The Democrats Desire to Make Several
AInendments-NIayD Debate 1t Two
Weeks-In the House.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-InteresS in the
senate this week is in the war rtyenue
bill, which is expected to reac6 that
body before the close att its session today
1t will be referred at once TO the COM
mittee on finance and probably will be
reported back Wednesday or Thursday
A meeting of the finance committee
has been called for today with the
view ON the part Of the Republican
members of having the consideration of
the bill in committee begun informally.
They have even intimated that they
may ask that vote be taken at this
meeting with the view of reporting the
bill as soon as it is referred.
The Democratic members of the com.
mittee will oppose this program, as they
desire opportunity to have various
amendments considered. 1t is now be.
lieyed that they will offer a provision
fOr a tax on all producing industries,
another for an inheritance tax and a
third for nOninterest bearing treasury
notes. 1t Is also probable that an amend.
ment will be suggested for the issuance
OF 100000, 900 in greenbacks to take the
place Of those outstanding which are
supposed to have been destroyed. They
will seek to have the bond provision of
the bill eliminated entirely on the plea
that the time is not yet arrived tor a
bond issue.
There is possibility that the Repub-
hcan members of the committee may
amend the bond provision, as there is
more or less dissatisfaction with it
among Republican senators. One OF
the changes suggested is a reduction of
the amount of the bonds.
When the bill reaches the senate the
opposition will insist upon having time
for the various factions to state the rea.
sons for their opposition, and it is now
predicted that two weeks will be re-
quired for debate. While they will in.
sist upon the elimination of the bond
feature they will all state that they will
vote for bonds later if the war should
be prolonged sufficiently to require their
issuance.
The program of the senate until the
revenue bill is reported is uncertain.
The postoffice appropriation bill will be
reported and passed and the omnibus
claips bill may be taken up.
There is no business of great import
ance to come before the house during
the week unless the appropriations com.
mittee brings in an emergency appropri-
alton measure. 1t was the intention of
Chairman Cannon to make the emer.
gency appropriation a part of the gen.
eral deficiency BILL but as that bill
might be delayed some time he may
bring in separate measure. There are
also number of conference reports to
be disposed Of, and these may occupy
the time of the house during the week.
Several appropriation bills are still in
conference, but reports are expected
the week, The Alaska land bill remains
to be disposed Of, and there are a mum.
ber OF minor matters that may be taken
up for consideration.

But the requirements Of the finished
marine do not terminate with ordinary
police duties. Before he has been long
in the service he has mastered the in.
tricacies of the various signal codes and

vessel to another; he becomes past
master of the rules Of naval, military
and civil etiquette and takes part in the
most imposing of ceremonies pertaining
thereto.
But it is in action that the true mer.

fullest degree. To him are assigned the

bravery and fortitude are tested to their
uttermost. One moment he is ordered

through hailstorm of bullets and pro.
jectiles from the enemy's guns, and in
another is called back to the deck,
where he fills vacancy in some shat
tered gun division.
Since the establishment of the two
marine battalions in 1775 by the CONT.
mental congress these sea soldiers have
found many opportunities for showing
their valor. They fought gallantly with
John Paul Jones; they were the first to
reach the decks of the Bonhomme
Richard when she fought her memorable
duel with the Serapis and it was the
marines, fighting like demons, who fore
ed the British to strike their oolors. 1t
was corps of marines, too, during our
brief and half forgotten oriental cam
paign of 1903 that drove the Moham-
medans ont Of their Notifications at
Derne, hauled down the crescent and
for the first time raised the stars and
stripes upon an eastern citadel. That is
| why the banners of the corps bear the
word "Tripoli" to this day.
AT the disastrous battle of Bull Run
battalion consisting of $50 marines
the majority of whom were recruits,
under Major Reynolds, acted as a sup
port of Griffln's battery and were
among the last to quit the field, having
suffered loss of killed-one Of whom
was Lieutenant Hitchcock-l9 9 wounded
and l6 missing. In the attack of the
Confederate ram Merrimao upon the
Union feet the marines sustained q
heavy loss, 0 having been killed on
board the Cumberland by the first shot,
while ON the Congress the entire guard
was wiped out of existence.
! The historic fight between the Alaba.
ma and the Kearsarge off the coast OF
France was opened by the marines,
who comprised the crew of the former 4
forecastle rife gun, with which they
inflicted great injury to the enemy's
vessel.
The largest number of United States
marines assembled at one time in action
was witnessed during the two attacks
on Fort Fisher toward the close of the
war, when. together with the sailors OF
the Union feet, they formed an assault
ing column l,400 strcng, and in tht
fierce fighting which ensued lost lieu
tenant and 90 priyates.
Many expressions Of gratitude and ap
probation have from time to time beer
rendered the marines, congress on /!
different occasions having passed join
resolutions thanking or commencing
them for their invaluable services.

gle tax meant that every cent of tax
was to be raised on land values, to the
exclusion of every railroad and other
corporations. 1t meant, he said, that
all taxes were to be raised on the land
owned by the farmer to the exclusion
of nearly every other class of citizens.
The single taxer, he said, wanted to
exclude from taxation the Claus
Spreckels building in San Francisco,
which cost $1,OOOOOO, and taxing it
equally with the bare plat OF land
alongside; it meant to lift the burden
from the shoulders of the rich and place
it upon the shoulders of the poor.
The speaker said he once heard his
father preach from text that he did
not like nor understand. He did not
think his father understood 1t either
he didn't preach as though he did. The
text was Unto Him That Hath, Unto
Him Shall Be Given; From Him That
Hath Not, From Shall Be Taken All
That He Hath" He had never, he said,
heard but one man who could preach
sermon on the text which he could un-
derstand, and that man was James U.
Mcguire.
Henry George, the speaker said, de-
clared that all land should pass out OF
the hands of the citizen and vest in the
community for the common good OF all,
and said he would tax the owners out
of their land. Judge Mcguire, he con-
tended, held with Henry George. Judge
Mcguire, he said, believed that the ver-
lest tramp who walks the streets OF
Sacramento has just as much right to
the land improved by the labor Of the
farmer, as has the farmer himself. One
step forward from Maguire's present
place, he said, would be socialism, and
another step would carry him into an
archism. The speaker quoted from Ma
guire's speech in Congress in which he
said the nihilists of Russia were the
Democrats Of that country, and those
of Italy and Spain were the Republi-
cans of those countries.
Judge Mcguire the speaker said, held
that the man who threw the bomb
which hurled to eternity the great re-
form Czar of Russia-the Car who
voluntarily freed millions of serfs, was
g Democrat of that country, and ought
to be admitted into this; Mcguire neld
that the man who drove the poirard
into the heart of Austria's noble En-
press OuSuI 10 DE dullllllSu " llilS SoOi
try because he was a Republican of
| Italy.
! The speaker said that Maguire's
anarchistic speech was being translated
and used by all the anarchistic socie-
ties Of Europe and he said that should
he be elected-and he would not-that
there would ere long be colony of nj
| hilists in San Francisco. He said that
only recently woman-an anarchist
! belonging to the nobility of one of the
! European countries, recently attempted
| to come to San Francisco, because in
Mcguire she knew she had a friend
and had she been allowed to land, she
would have taken a prominent part In
the present campaign.
In conclusion, the speaker called or
! old-line Democrats to rally under the
| Republican party as they had done two
| years ago, and assist in stamping out
the isms represented by James G. Ma,
guire.

anu greater OHeS would follow when
Frank Ryan was elected to Congress.
The Republican party, he said was
making il possible for successful COM
petition, which meant cheap transpor-
tation rates.
The Republican party, the speaker
said, had ever been the friend of labor.
He spoke Of the big railroad strike of
1894, and told Of the appointment of
the Railroad Arbitration Committee.
which. in time reported back a railroad
arbitration bill, which was passed
making it binding upon railroad com
panies and railroad employees to settle
their differences by arbitration. That

ford to support any other than the

was untrue, and to prove his assertion
referred to the antitrust laws passed
during President Harrison's admins
tration. He reiterated that he could
not understand how any sensible man
could support any other than the Re-
publican party.
Senator Perkins drew a powerful
picture Of the causes which led up to
the war with Spain-told how the
President had done everything in the
interest of peace, of the blowing up of
the Maine and the death of 256 Amer
lean seamen. Then came war. and
every State furnished its quota of

of the battles and victories at Santi-

with cheers. He thought California
