THE SALE OF BONDS.

authorized by congress. Envelopes have

the right to issue an additional $780,

nority of the finance committee In case

tablishment OF the United States in time

hcers appointed or assigned to the staff

Republicans Get Revenue
Bill in Shape.
DIFFERENCES SETTLED.
The Brewers Are TO Be Taxed For
Their Stock on Hand.
OTHER FEATURES OF MEASURE.

Washington. June s.-The Republican
members of the conference committee
on the war revenue bill have practically
reached an agreement on the most inn
nortant items of difference between the
two houses. These relate TO the coin
age of silver bullion. the form of the bond
provision and the amount of the bonds.
the inheritance tax. the duty on tea, etc.
These questions have not yet been raised
in the full conference. and the Republi-
cans decline to state any points OF their
agreement.
The general impression among sena-
tors is that there will be some provision
for coming the seigniorage, and possibly
all the silver bullion In the treasury, but
II is not believed that the terms OF the
senate provision will be accepted with
out material modification. The result
OF the Oregon election strengthened
those opposed TO making any concessions
to silver, but 10 also caused the western
Republican senators 10 be all the more
clamorous for recognition. They express
confidence s1at their representations
will not go unheeded and they profess
TO speak upon assurances from Repub-
lican members of the conference.
Only matters OF minor Importance
were passed upon. and as rule the SEN
ate amendments were accepted. Among
the changes was one In the beer tax pro-
vision. making II definite that stock
on hand exempted should be the stock
In the hands OF dealers and not OF brew
ers. There Is quite a contest over the
senate amendment exempting tobacco
on hand from taxation. but this schedule
has not been passed upon. The indica-
tions are. however. that the senate pro-
vision will stand

and they have indicated tendency to

ters. etc. to stand II the agents are not
taxed. They are also making an on
slaught on Senator ChiIton's amend
ment extending the provisions In regard
to the proprietary medicines to other
articles, and the senate's representa-
tives indicate disposition to yield on
this point.

NAV Go TO Porto Rico.

News has reached Camp Alger, which IL
is said is confirmed by Senator Aldrich,
that the Rhode Island regiment would be
ordered to Porto Rico in the near future.
This is just what tho boys want, and they
say, "The sooner the better" They long
for action, forgetting that they still need
acclimating and preparations. Among
both officers and men Porto Rico is the
favorite as a point OF destination. Col.
Abbot is satisfied that the Rhode Island
regiment will be the frat or among the
first to leave this camp for active service.
This report, while only a report, carries
with 1t anticipation and probability OF
ultimate veritication that has checrcd the
boys up wonderfully.
The health Of the Rhode Island men at
Camp Aleer continues to be very good, as
the trouble caused by vacc ination hes
commenced to decrease. There il a slight
increase in incipient diarrheal cases.
There arcthrec men still in the hospital.
The diarrheal csscs are due almost
wholly TO the change in climate aud
water. They are necessary evils, and are
OF short duration.
