buried the Teller resolution, declaring
bonds Of the United States payable in
silver, under an adverse majority of
so votes. The republicans were so1idly
arrayed in opposition with two ex-
ceptions. Mr.. Linney IN. c., who vot-
ed with the democrats and populists,
and Mr.. White IN. c., the only
colored member of the house who
answered present" when his name
was called. The assertions from the
democratic side were McAleer (Pa.),
and Elliott IS. c.. Both voted with
the republicans against the PROPOSE
ton. Speaker Reed, although it is not
customary for him to vote, had his
name called and amid the cheers Of
his followers went On record in op-
position to the resolution. The vote
was reached after five hours debate
The vote was 132 to 1872

nexation has greatly changed and
friends Of the treaty, including Mr..
Davis. chairman of the foreign rela-
lions committee, are confident that
sixty senators whose votes are neces-
sary for two-thirds majority, will
vote for ratification. This change was
shown when Mr.. Thurston (rep., Neb.)
made motion in the senate for a
postponement of further consideration
of the treaty until the first of March.
The motif n was not discussed at
length and was voted down on a viva
voce vote. Mr.. Plat rep, Conn.,
opened the debate with a carefully ar
ranged argument in favor of annexa-
ton. Mr.. Pettigrew (rep., N. D., fol-
lowed Mr.. Plat, speaking in opposi-
ton to annexation. Senator White
(rep., CALI, also spoke in opposition
to a ratification Of the treaty and had

journed.

service reformers won a slight victory
in the house when Mr.. Perkins (rep.,
la, presented resolution for print
ing the hearings before the civil ser
vice committee. Mr.. Grosvenor (rep.,
o. antagonized the resolution. He
said the sittings had taken an ex
parte turn and he desired to submit
some acts in reputation of certain
statements before the hearings were
printed. Mr.. Perkins, however, re-
fused to withdraw the resolution until
the house, by vote of 55 to 80, had
refused the previous question. He then
yielded. A bill was passed authorizing

adopted by the recent session of the
State Legislature in causing an investi-
CATION into the expenditures OF certain
officials. After the Legislature had
elected the State Officials it proceeded
to investigate their past records. Has
this remedied the loose methods by
which the funds are expended? Has
any good resulted from the investiga-
tion9 Has the money alleged to have
been paid out without authority been
returned? Has the system under which
it was expended been changed? How
ever it has brought about the resigna-

thankful for small favors.

BEER TAX TO STAND.
No Matter How Revenue Bill IN
Amended, That Clause Will Stay.

New York, Dec. 14.--The Washington
correspondent of The Mail and Express
says:
Members of congress and officials de-
clare that no matter how the revenue
tax act may be amended there is no
possibility of repeal OF the clause
which levies an increased tax of 81 per
barrel on beer. The recent meeting IN
New York of representatives OF the
brewery industry to induce congress TO
repeal this section will have little or no
effect. For years the trainers of rev.
enue legislation have been anxious to
Increase the tax on beer, but both par
lies were frank to confess their fear OF
the political enmity Of brewers. The
war, however, made it necessary to in
crease the revenue, and the desired
opportunity to add to the tax on beer
was presented and embraced by con-
gress.
The report of Secretary Gage made 1t
plain that the beer tax would not be re-
pealed. There will be a deficit of $112,-
O00,0 900 at the end of the fiscal year. and
Mr.. Gage, while admitting that the
present law includes some vexatious
taxes, gives absolutely no hope that any
source OIL revenue dL pItScuI Sdi w
abandoned.
Some time ago Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Scott called upon col
lectors Of internal revenue to submit 10
him suggestions for amendments in the
present law, with a view of recommend
ing to Secretary Gage certain taxes
that might be repealed Neither Com
missioner Scott nor Secretary Gage
made any such recommendations in his
report. 1t is conceded that the law
needed amending, but there is no hope
for the present of any change in the
tax on beer.
Mr.. Dingley recently admitted that
the tax on checks and kilograms was
serious annoyance, and while he con-
fessed it was not great source of rev.
enue he was careful to state that it
would not be abolished. He also inti-
mated that of all the war taxes that on
beer would be the last to be repealed.
