IN THE HOUSE
The Debate Concluded on the Internal
Revenue Bill

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-In long ses-
sion today the house passed few bills, but
the discussion involved a wide range of
subjects. After brush over civil service,
brought on by a paragraph in the defic-
iency pension bill, providing for some tenn
porary clerks in the war department., the
house, considering a bill to amend the in
ternal revenue laws, listened to lengthy
speeches from Shaffroth of Colorado and
Grow of Pennsylvania, upon the free coin
age of silver and greenbacks as legal ten
der, respectively.
During yea ana nay vote upon the in
ternal revenue bill. the house adjourned.
The vote will be taken Immediately after
the house meets tomorrow.
A resolution passed directing the sec
retary of war to prepare and submit plans
and estimates and for the improvement of
Aransas Pass channel and harbor, Texas.
Also bill providing for the sale of un-
allotted lands of the Pottawattomie and
Kickapoo Indians in Kansas and Dill
amending the law for time and place of
holding the U. s. Courts dn Idaho and
Wyoming.
Cannon of Illinois called up the pension
deficiency bill as amended and passed by
the senate yesterday. The bill carries
paragraph inserted by the senate providing
that temporary appointments of clerks
may be made without civil service exami-
nations.
The house concurred in the senate amend
ments to the bill.
The house then went into committee of
the whole to consider the bill to amend the
internal revenue laws relating to distilled
spirits.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Dingley
was adopted declaring that any spirits ex-
ported and subsequently imported should
pay the same internal tax that 1t would
have been required to pay at the time of
importation had 1t not been exported. Ii
was intended, Mr.. Dingley explained to
prevent export of spirits for bonding pur-
poses, to which reference had been made
in the debate.
A vote was taken upon the bill as amend
ed. The yeas and nays were demanded,
but pending the roll call the house ad-
journed at 5:15 o'clock.

transporting oil or other products. whose
gross annual receipts exceed $250, 900, shall
be subject to pay annually special tax
equivalent to one-half of one per cent on
the gross amount of all receipts of such per.
sons, freight or mails between the United
States and any foreign port; but this tax
shall be rated for transportation of per-
sons, freight or mails from port within the
United States through foreign territory
or port within the United States, and shall

White said it had been whispered that
the great financial interests which had
contributed largely to a campaign fund
were demanding as compensation for their
liberality that the burdens of the war
should not be thrust upon them. He did
not believe, however, that any senator
on any side of the chamber would be in
fluenced by demand so selfish. He OBJ
jected to the issue of bonds at this time.
because bonds are unnecessary and be-
cause a great majority of the people was
opposed to them, believing they would in
crease too greatly the burdens of the
country. In conclusion. Mr.. White de-
clared that It would be the plain people
who would not only offer up their lives In
defense Of the national honor but would
also pay the bulk Of the taxes for the con-
duct of the war. He appealed to senators
to permit the bill to pass In such form as
would distribute with reasonable equity
the burdens 1t imposed and to lay taxa
ton that would be fair to the American
people and would reflect honor upon the
senate.
The bill was laid aside that the senate
might take up the special order-eulogles
upon the late Senator Walthall of Mississ-
ippi.
While the special order was pending a
bill was reported by Mr.. Sewell providing
for the employment of retired army off,
GERS during the present war. 1t was
passed.
Money of Mississippi being recognized,
Of Mr.. Walthall.
At the conclusion of the eulogies, the
senate as a further mark of respect ad-
journed until II am. tomorrow.

AN OLD STORY
The Danish West indies Are MOI
Badly Needed

WAsHINTON. May 2e-The published
statements from Copenhagen via London
that Pour parleurs are progressing look
Ing to the purchase by the United States
from Denmark of the Danish West Indian
possessions, St. Thomas aAbSt. Croix. ap.
pears to be nothing more than the re-
vival OF an old story.
At the beginning Of the present con.
gress. resolution was introduced looking
to the re-opening Of negotiations for the
purchase Of the islands from the Danish
government. which was predicted upon an
intimation received from that government
that 1t was not averse to re-opendng neso-
tiations. Since that time nothing has been
done by the state department in that d.
rection and 1t may be that the almost per-
iodical publication of the items in Eu-
ropean newspapers is gentle admonition
to the United States that something must
be done looking toward the acquisition Of
the islands If Denmark is to find q GUS
toner on this side of the Atlantic.

IN COMMITTEE
The Transport Vessels to Be Given
American Registers

American heSlSCerS
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Senate
Committee on Commerce today had under
the subject of granting
American registration to foreign-built
ships for the purpose of securing their
services in carrying troops and supplies to
the Philippines, and decided to place the
matter in the hands of a subcommittee
with authority to report in all cases in
which the War Department may make a
request that registry be granted. Discus
sion in the committee revealed the fact
that there are several foreign ships whose
services can be made available when con-
sidered desirable. The action of the COM
mittee will have the effect of placing the
ment, for 1t was the general understand
ing that in cases In which the department
may express a desire to secure the SER
vices of any particular vessel there should
be no opposition. A majority of the COM
mittee are opposed to granting registry to
foreign ships under ordinary circum-
stances, but they consider departure
from the rule excusable under existing
circumstances. 1t is understood that the
arrangement will aid the department ma
terially in securing reasonable rates. The
subcommittee having the matter in charge
consists of Senators Frye, McMillin, Ell
kns, Gallinger, White, Murphy and Mills.
