ed and would cover any particular make
of locomotive, steam trip hammer, sewing
reohine or egg beater that might be
made under special patents.
There could be no ambiguity about the
language of this provision, and the mesh
es of this tax net would be so fine that
nothing coming within the classification
could possibly escape It, This amendment
has been prepared upon the theory that
while stamp taxes are a hardship. they
are Justifiable as war measuI and that
if a class of articles is fit subject for
taxation, everything in that particular
class ought, in fairness, to be taxed.
The rate suggested under this plan is
IA of per cent on every dollars worth
of value at wholesale figures. This would,
IL is claimed by tariff experts, be a very
small tax when applied TO any particular
thing, but would. in the aggregate, bring
in very large and permanent revenue.
There are many things which under the
House bill, have escaped taxation alto
gether and these industries will make
persistent and hard fight to prevent the
adoption of any provision which would
be uniform and cover their interests as
well as those which. under the House
BILL are taxed at too high rate
This is the chief danger surrounding
general provision such as has been out
lined and such viii be laid before the
committee. Those interests which have

THE PRESIDENTS QUIET DAY.
Few Callers and No War News Re

Secretary Day called upon the Presi-

some time. When he emerged from the
Presidents private office he refused to
say what had been talked about at the
conference. we have received nothing
which has not been given out, he said.
Secretary Long followed Judge Day
and he was with the President but q few
moments. He, too, stated that nothing
had been heard from the front, and that
he had simply talked over the situation
and asked after the Presidents health.
1t was extremely quiet day at the

ENL1sTING THE VOLUNTEERS.
Twenty Thousand Men Have Al

ready Gone Into the Service.
II was announced yesterday at the War
Department that twenty thousand men
of the one hundred and twenty-five thous-
and volunteers called for have been en-
listed.
This is considered an excellent show
ing by the officials at the War Depart
ment. as the work up to the present time
has been chiefly confined in the several
States to the physical examination of
applicants.
1t is announced that a great many
States have made a great mistake in
sending the full quota asked for by the
Government to the places of rendezvous
without making any preliminary physi-
cal examination. The examinations,
when possible should be made first. II
not always possible to examine applicants
by army surgeons, 1t is pointed out that
in many cases local physicians would,
If requested. be patriotic enough to give
their services gratis, and II this were done
at each place that furnishes recruits,
much time and considerable inconven-
ience could be saved. Men who were
physically disqualified by such a pre-
Iiminary examination would be thrown
out and the State saved the expense of
Government the expense of feeding them
several days at such a place of rendez-
Yous and then after they failed to pass
the regular examination send them to
their homes again. AS IL is. many of the
men fail TO pass the examination and
have to be sent home and others sent TO
the rendezvous to take their places
The examination of volunteers is very
rigid, as the Government will refuse 10
accept men who il is believed will break
down under the strain of duty But they
are not as rigid as those that are being
conducted for recruiting regulars The
idea OF many persons that the volun-
teers are being subjected to the same ex-
animation as the regulars is erroneous
The case is just the reverse. In enlist
ing regulars, 20 per cent Of the appli-
cants pass and the remaining 50 per cent
are thrown out. In enlisting volunteers
about 81 per cent. of the applicants are
being accepted and the remaining 20 per
cent are being thrown out
Though the number of men who have
been enlisted is now twenty thousand. II
is thought that by next week the fun
number of one hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
thousand will be enlisted and mustered
into service.

Several patriotic members of the Wash

their positions TO enter the military or
naval service Of the United States. The
force is composed largely of men who
have served in the regular Army or Navv-
and those who volunteer now will. there

out instructions as to drill or discipline
Policeman ]. NJ. Austin. of the First
Precinct, has rendered his resignation. to

cepted. Mr.. Austin, who is intelligent, an
athlete, and of fine physique. has accept
ed the position OF master-at-arms on the
auxiliary cruiser Dixie. He is a native
of South Carolina. and naturally takes
great pride in the trim little war vessel
which is named for his sunny Southland.
Prior to his appointment on the police
force, Austin had considerable experience
in the Navy.

man Girard. the latter Of the Eighth Pre-
cinct, have resigned il is said to Join

a graduate of medicine.
Stationkeeper Lamb, Of the First Pre-
clnct was for several years a cadet at
West Point. and his friends expect that
he viii receive a commission as an officer
in the army.
Among the other policemen who are
ready and willing 10 serve their country
in this emergency are Carlson and Hart
man. of the First: Bartels of the Fourth;
and a host Of others, all of whom have
seen service under the flag on land or sea
The statement of Commissioner Wight
that the policemen who enter the Army
or Navy now will be reinstated on the
force should they return from the war
in good physical condition. has proved an
incentive to many of the men TO volun-
teeT.

occasion of the funeral ofsNoble T. Mudd
who went down TO his death on the bat
tleship Maine in the 9harbor of Havana
on the night of February 10, 1895
The interior of the Church was draped
in deep mourning. The recent victory of
Admiral Dewey lent its influence to swell
the crowd on this ascasion.
The father and relatives of the de-
ceased sailor and others who were among
the chief mourners were seated in front
of the altar and as they entered the choir
chanted requiem.
At p. m. the services were opened, the
choir singing And VIII the Judge De-
scend?" Rev. J. /. Lowering, the pastor
then read as the scripture lesson the
ninetieth Psalm, after which he prayed
fervently for the future of the relatives
of the deceased, the church. the co-ordi-
nate branches of the general Govern
ment and for the triumph of the Ameri-
can arms In the war with Spain. The
choir sang Nearer, My God, to Thee
DR.. j. !. Lowering then preached an i'm
pressive funeral sermon, taking for his
text Mark 13 and 33: Watch, for ye know
not when the time is'' He said in open
ing: Anchored in the harhor of a sup
posed friendly nation on the night of Feb
ruary 10 the Amertcdn partleship Maine
was blown up by the treaeherous hand of
the Spanish monarchy, which is now
trembling in the balances of Justice -
This sentiment was applauded by the
vast audience. The doctor said he wished
to see that monarchy swept from the face
of the earth and a republic erected on its
ruins. He said the injustices and wick
edness Of Spain causes her to be in war
today. He declared that Spain has more
crosses dedicated to Christ than most
tions, yet she has committed more bloody
and cruel murders than any other civil
lied nation in the worlds history.
After paying a high tribute to the char
acter of the murdered sailor boy, who
was serving his third enlistment, he re-
ferred to the great work Of Admiral
Dewey, in which he had brought great
honor to our flag and Navy This was the
signal for great outburst Of applause.
Deacon Moses johnson then offered an
invocation for the success of our Army
and Navy. The choir chanred a requiem
as the crowd left the church at the close
of the exercises.

NO NEWS FROM PORTO RICO.
Naval officials Wait in Vain for
Messages From Admiral Sampson.

The official opinion as to the chances of
news from Porto Rico was discouraging
yesterday and last night Lieut. Whittle-
sey, Of the Bureau of Navigation the ci-
pher expert of the Navy Department, was

did not expect to hear anything. Secre-
taTy Long was al the department during
the day and he was ready To receive any
news that might come in the evening un-
| til his usual early retiring hour, but he
expressed the opinion that there would
not be any
The department is of the opinion that
| the Spanish feet may not have reached
| this side yet and il is also inclined to
| think it probable that the first destina-
ton of the fleet may still be South Amer

1t is stated unofTicially that the Amer
lean fleet is now off Porto Rico and that
| advices will almost certainly be received
! from Admiral Sampson this morning.
They Will be peaceful ones almost surely
however the department people say.
Admiral Sampson will be told 70 remain
| at Porto Rico for a short time and if
nothing IS heard from the Cape Verde
! fleet TO continue on the South American
| coast TO Intercept the Spanish fleet there
| if il goes in that direction. But one thing
seems certain. and that Is that the fight
ing between the fleets is uoJ rar off.
The officers at the Navy Department
are of the opinion that there may be no
further information from Admiral Dewey
for at least a week. There are the chances
of newspaper enterprise overcoming this
obstacle. Of course. 1t Is thought posi-
ble that some other ship may be sent
over 10 Hong Kong by Admiral Dewey if
there is any important change in the sit
uation; but otherwise nothing is expect
ed from him until the McCulloch makes
her round trip again.
There was no further word officially
from either Manila or Hong Kong yes
terday. and nothing has been received
officially even to a line from either place

ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.
All the Known Champions of Drey-
fus Were Defeated.

Paris. May 9-The national election to-
day was the elimination of a campaign
that was so dull that 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that 1t appealed much less
to the public attention than the details
of the Spanish-American war. The con-
test was animated in some few constitu-
encies, but in great majority 1t aroused
only languid interest. II was a foregone
conclusion that Prime Minister MeIine
would secure a majority sufficient in all
probability. to enable him to dispense with
the support of the RoyalistS or the men,
bers of the extreme Left. The bulk of
the results, known before o'clock this
morning, showed that it might be expect
ed. in the absence of important modifica-
tions, that the ministers were certainly
reelected. Two hundred and seventy
nine results are known. They show the
election of Sc ministerial Republicans, 81
Radicals, 10 Socialists, IS Rallieds and %
Monarchists. Eighty-six seats must be
re-balloted.
No disturbances are reported from any,
where The most notable feature of the
returns is the complete overthrow of the
hackers of Dreyfus. NM Jaures and
Reinach and all the known partisans of
Dreyfus's innocence were defeated. while
the anti-Semite and Boulangist leaders
NM Drumont and Deroulede were re-
elected.

This is not saying that ownership can

Rogers the United States must announce

of annexation.
Further. we must prove our ability to
keep the islands. This can be done by
holding them until the establishment of
peace or an equivalent of peace Presi-

should hold the islands until the war is
