ish auxiliary cruiser Montzerrat arrived

WAR REVENUE BILL.
Silver, Greenback aud Income Tax Amend
ments Under Confederation.

mchts tnuef NOnstueratlOns
Washington, May 23.-The presen.
week will be given almost entirely to
the continuation of the debate on the
war revenue bill, and many of the best
informed senators express the opinion
that the consideration of the bill will
be concluded before the end of the
week.
While the consideration of the bill
except as to objected features, has been
completed, there is still much to be
done before the bill can be said to be
completed. The items which have been
passed over are those which it was ex-
pected from the beginning would con-
sumo the greatest amount of time.
These include the corporation tax pro-
vision, the inheritance tax, the silver
seigniorage and greenback amend
ments, and also others of more or less
Importance. Involved in the discussion
of the greenback and seigniorage
amendments will be the Republican

ion, and there can be no doubt that this
question will give rise to discussion
that will cover considerable time prob
ably two or three days at least There
is, however, no apparent desire on the
part of the opponents of bonds to con-
sumo more time than is necessary to
the proper presentation of their views,
During the present week the Hawai-
ian annexation resolutions are likely
to be considered in the house. No pos
tive assurance has been given that a
special rule providing for their consid-
Grafton will be reported, but it is gen
orally understood that in event of the
revenue bill being well advanced in
the senate, the committee on rules will
respond to the majority demand in the
house for the immediate disposition oi
the Hawaiian resolution.

The Utah, Idaho, wyoming and Colorado
Volunteers.

San Francisco, May 24.-The latest
arrivals at the military camp on the
old bay district camp are all comforta-
bly, quartered, though Utah and Wyo-
ming are somewhat short of tents.
Wyoming has the promise of the gov
ernment that It's solitary battalion
shall not be put in to fill up regi-
ment, but will go into service as an in
dependent battalion. 1t has an assur-
ance, also, that it and the Utah bat
teries will be sent away together about
the first of June.
Idaho and Kansas are the two camps
that lack equipment. Idaho has only
three companies uniformed, and until
the arrival of uniforms there will not
be much drilling. The Idaho men are
new to the manual, but the fighting
spirit is all there When rumor ar
rived that, all unequipped as they are,
they were to sail for Manila at once
the camp was audibly glad.
That's good news" grinned big
private, "the sooner the better"
The sandy ground on which the camp
is situated is too soft for drilling pur-
poses. The Utah batteries are unable
as yet to use their guns, and the car
riages are sunk deep in the sand. The
horses have not arrived yet, and there
is but one equine in the camp-R beau

Chicago, May 23-The advance guard
of Grisby's cowboy regiment has ar
rived in Chicag from Sioux Falls.
Large crowds greeted the train, and
the locomotive slowed up to allow the
crowds to exchange compliments with
the soldiers, who, leaning far out from

appreciation of the reception. There
were two companies, containing alto

strapped to their sides. The train pro-
ceeded to the stock yards to unload

PHILIPPINE REVENUES.
Customs Duties Are to be Collected by tho
Military.

Washington, May 24-In anticipa-
tion of the early occupation OF the
Philippine islands by the land and
naval forces of the United States, the
treasury department has already begun
the formulation of regulations and a
scheme of customs tariffs which will
be collected by the military authori-
ties, and turned into the treasury of
the United States "as a military con-
tribution.' That the president has
authority to collect the Philippine reve-
nues under existing conditions is not a
matter of doubt 1t was several times
done during the last war with Mexico,
and the authority of the government
in the premises was sustained by decis-
ions of the United States supreme court.

Macon, Ga, May 23.-Unless some
accident has befallen the United States
transport Florida there are now many
volunteer troops on the island Of Cuba,
or they will be there within few
hours. From accurate information OBJ
tanned here it can be stated as fact
that the first expedition toward Cuban

a successful trip.
Wednesday, May 1s the United
States transport Florida left Port
Tampa with several hundred volunteer
troops on board. The passengers be-
longed to the regiment Of Cuban vol
unteers organized in the lower extrem-
ity of Florida some weeks ago. 1t was
thought best to send these men, as
they speak Spanish and are more ac-
quainted with the topography of the
country which it is proposed to invade.
1t cannot be learned what United
States officers accompanied the regi
ment of volunteers. If this expedition
is success other troops will be rush
ed into the island as soon as possible

FLOUR TRADE CONNECTION
LIKELY TO BE CAUSED BY A
REVENUE RULING
under the Finding of the Commits
sioner Any Article of Trade of
Which Flour Forms a Part Is
"Mixed Flour" and Is Subject to
the Provisions Of the War Rev
enue Act.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 2O.-As-
sistant Attorney General Boyd, of the
department of justice, to whom ques-
lions relating to the construction of
the provisions of the war revenue bill
| are referred for answer, and the treas
ury department officials are busily en-
gagged IN turning out decisions and rul-
| lngs regarding this law.
Mr.. Boyd has decided that SAMPLES
or pharmaceutical and proprietary
| medicine preparations intended for free
distribution need not be stamped The
language Of the law relating to these
articles reads differently from that re-
latlng to cosmetics and psrfumery This
decision, although it has the approval
or Attorney General Griggs, it is I'M
derstood, does not commend itself to
commissioner of Internal Revenue
Scott, who is holding it under consid-
GRAFTON before prOmulgating 1t.
Mr.. Boyd has also decided that a
olll1ard or poolroom located within the
limits of a military camp, by permis-
sion or the commander, must pay the
tax prescribed by the law for similar
places outside camps, and that mill
cary officers have no authority to in
terfere to prevent the collection of the
tax. The case upon which the decision
was made arose at Camp Alger over in
Virginia.
A decision by the commissioner of
internal revenue is likely to cause a
commotion in the flour trade. The
question of what constituted mixed
Hour within the meaning of the law
upon that subject was presented by
many dealers interested. The language
OF the law is: That for the purpose of
this act the words mixed flour" shall
be understood to mean the food prod
uct made from whsat mixed or blended
In Whole or in part with any other
grain or other material, or the manu-
ractured product of any other grain or
other material than wheat.
Quoting this language, the commits
sioner holds that any article of trade
OF which flour forms part, whether
great or small, and which is CONNER
cially known as flour, is mixed -four"
and the package in which it is offered
for sale must be branded "miXed
Hour" in letters at least two inches
high, and the manufacturer must be
liceEsed to 90 business and pay tax
of cents on every barrel he SELLS IN
der this ruling ell "self-raising" f1ours,
buckwheat -four containing any pro-
portion of wheat flour, and all similar
comhin2t tons are placed under tile ban.

cided that ships manifasts made out

subject to the stamp tax, but requisite

TANGLE IN LITIGATION.
Question as to When Costs Shall Be
Paid by Plaintiffs.

The recent supreme court decision
referring the Security Savings and
Loan receivership matter back to the
district court for a rehearing seems to
nave left matters in something of a.
tangle. The first order wa~ simply for
a rehearing and for Judgment against
the plaintiffs for costs in the proceed
ings' A subsequent order was filed
continuing the receivership for thirty
Gays, pending the rehearing, but say
ing nothing about the costs as covered
oy the order for Judgment. The ques-
llon now comes UP as to when these
costs shall be paid.
Judge Simpson, before whom the
matter came up, was unwilling to de-
clde the matter either way, claiming
that, inasmuch as the order for judg-
ment issued from the supreme court,
IL would be proper for that court, if it
saw tit, to issue an order staying ex-
ecution.
Before the rehearing can be taken
up, 1T will be necessary to dispose Of
a motion of the plaintiffs that they
be allowed to file supplemental COM
plant.

keeping up repairs on the bridge in case the
toll is removed. Since the bridge was built
it has cost the city $63, 900 more than the
