REVENUE BILL IN THE SENATE,
Senator Allison Says That the Bond
Feature VIII Not be Elim-
inated.

Washington, April 2S.-The senate COM
mittee on finance will meet Monday to
take up the war revenue bill. The MEM
bers of the committee do not anticipate
any delay in getting the bill out of COM
mittee, and it can be stated that there is
no thought Of eliminating bond provision
in order to secure the expeditions passage
of the other portions of the bill.
Senator Allison, in reply to question
concerning the intention of the committee
with reference to the bond paragraph.
said: I'VE shall certainly not abandon a
bond provision, because ample provision
must be made to carry on the war. and
this cannot be done by taxation alone i'm
mediately. With 125.OOO extra soldiers all
ready called for and others to come, the
government will have to be supplied with
the sinews of war. The demonstrations
being made will require a large sum. We
have already practically expended the $780,
100000 appropriated for the defense of the
country, and it would not be wise for con-
gress to adjourn and leave Washington
with war existing without providing the
necessary means to carry 1t on, or with
out making provision for the funds from
which to meet the demands Of the appro-
priations therefor when made. We shall
also increase the revenues, but there must
he means of raising money before addi-
tional funds which will be secured from
the revenue features of the bill can be
made available. The bill will pass the
senate with bond provision included,
nor will there be any great delay in its
passage, in my judgment"

DULL DAY IN THE SENATE.
A Few Unlmportnnt Bills Passed and
Pop Resolution Intro
duced.

Washington, April 2S.-Again to-day the
senate was in the attitude of waiting for
business to reach it. A few bills of unim-
mess of general interest was transacted.
The chaplain invoked the divine blessing
upon the army and navy of the United
States. praying that they be kept under
the protection of His good providence and
prospering their arms and bring their eff
forts to a speedy and glorious success
Mr.. Pasco, of Florida. presented memoir
ials from the Florida board of trade con-
cerning the interference with the coast
war. Mr.. Pasco said that the matter was
becoming serious as American vessels were
being forced to refuse business. He thought
the committee on commerce ought to con-
slider the subject promptly and the memoir
ials were referred to that committee.
Mr.. Butler. of North Carolina introduced
the following resolution:
THAT the bonded Indebtedness OF the
United States should not be increased, but
that the necessary means to carry on the
war against Spain should be raised by in
creasing the revenues of the government,
including tax on incomes and by issuing
silver certificates against the seigniorag ge
now in the treasury and by such addition
al issues of United States legal tender
notes may be necessary"
The resolution went over.
The senate. at las D. m., went into ex-
ecutive session, and at 2 o'clock adjourned.

WAR AND GRADUATION.
Missouri University Students May
Have BOth-Cndet Battalion At
tached to Fifth Reciment.

Columbia, Mo. April 2s.-(Special) The
faculty of the Missouri state university
this afternoon decided to permit students
in good standing in the senior academic
class to serve their country in the field,
The official order of the university facul-
ty is as follows: Members of the present
academic senior class. who give proof that
they have enlisted and that by reason of
the enlistment they were obliged to leave
the university before the close of the pres
ent session, and who at the time of leay-
ing were in good standing. will be recon-
mended for graduation with their class
The faculty will very probably grant di-
plomas in advance of the usual time at
commencement, to those students who are
compelled to leave to join their military
companies. Cadet Major George II. Eng
lish wires from Kansas City that Adju-
tant General Bell, of jefferson City, after
consultation with Governor Stephens has
issued an order attaching the university
cadet battalion to the Fifth regiment of
the national guard of Missouri Should
the present quota of the guard prove in
sufficient. TIE cadet battalion will be called
out at once. This announcement was re-
ceived with much enthusiasm by the
students, nearly hundred of whom nave
already obligated themselves to go into
service. a sham battle on the university
camp between the companies of the regu-
lar military department attracted hun
dreds of spectators.

BANKERS READY TO HELP.
VIII DO All They Can to Make the
Prospective Bond Issue
Success.

Washington, April 2S-Secretary Gage
returned this morning from New York
where he had conference yesterday with
prominent bankers i'm regard 10 the pro-
posed bond issue for raising war fund.
In speaking to-day of the conference the
secretary said that the PRINCIPAL purpose
of his visit 10 New York was to obtain
from representative iinanciers and capi-
talists their views on the proposed bond
issue. He had no definite proposition TO
make, and none was expected from the
bankers. The result of the conference
however. was eminently satisfactory. All
seemed disposed 10 do anything and every
thing possible TO give any needed financial
support TO the government in the present
emergency. Although there would be no
financial inducement for capitalists to in
vest in per cent bonds when time loans
were bringing per cent and even more
the question of profit would be put TO one
side and whatever assistance the govern
ment needed would be Forthcoming. All
favored the popular loan idea. and thought
that the people should be given an oppor-
tunity TO invest in the new issue. Some of
the bankers expressed doubt as to the
ability OF the government 10 place. among

GOVERNOR LEEDY CONDEMNED
Guard Severely Criticised
In WashinRtOn.

Washington, April es.-(SpecialD The vol
unteers from nearly> every state exceed by
far the quota called for by the govern
ment. The only notes of discord come
from Kansas and New York. In the lat
ter the famous Seventh regiment declined
to respond because of the prospect of los
ing its identity as state militia orsaniza-
ton. The action of Governor Leedy. of
Kansas, is universally condemned. The
government prefers the trained men of the
militia for enlistment to such as have had
no experience at arms. and in all the
states, so far as possible. the aim has been
to encourage the esprit de corps by en-
listing the militia up to the quota as near
ly within the rules on individual enlistment
as expedient. The literal construction Civ

unfavorabe impression. The Kansas Re-
publican delegation here doing what it
can to smooth matters over for the militia
men. Great interest is expressed in the
action of the governor when he comes to
lame the regimental officer.

Easton, Pa. April 2S.-The town of Dover.
in Morris county. n. j.. and the country
within radius of twenty miles. was START
led this afternoon by Il series of terrific ex-
plosions, the first of which occurred at 40
O'Clock. The explosions occurred in the
Atlantic Powder Companys works. and
the plant is now a mass of ruins SiN
workmen We're killed. and four others We're
seriously injured. some probably fatally.
The remains of the dead have not yet been
recovered. The dead are: Alfred Rarick.
William Stumpf. Casper Ray. David
Scheer William Haycock and Elias Abers.
All the killed were married and leave fam
lilies.
The works were situated in an isolated
spot seven miles out in a rough country
from Dover. There were ten buildings in
the group. and all have been destroyed.
The first explosion occurred in one of the
packing houses caused. it is thought. from
spark from the pipe of IL careless smoker.
The conclusion set Off the explosives in
another package house near by. Debris
and burning timbers of the wrecked build
ings We're carried high into the air. and
fell in shower over the remaining build

the other five package houses and the two
shell houses
In a brief time the explosives in these
buildings were set off and left death and
destruction in their wake.
The works have been running night and
day turning out rush orders for the United
States government and large amount of
ammunition ready for shipment was stored
| in the package houses. This. with all
other explosives was completely destroyed
The scene presented ut the place was

! focked to the place for miles around. but
could render no aid to the injured. The
| people were terrified and held back. in
| constant fear of other explosions. A few
| men who were in the buildings managed
| to escape and they ran about the country
bewildered. They could give no intelligent
| account of the cause of the explosion.
| When the wives and relatives of the EN-

| 1t was nearly o'clock before the ruins
| had cooled sufficiently to be approached.
and before the on-lookers could be induced

| The bodies of the dead were horribly

armess trunks. Many of the injured were
cut and MANNED SO badly that some of

OOo. 900 of the bonds at 3 per cent. as many
of the savings banks throughout the coun-
try wer paying 81 and 4 per cent.
However, they were willing to assist in
disposing of whatever was left. and they
had no doubt that the whole amount Of
fered would be subscribed for at once and
possibly. later on, three times over. Most
of the bankers present thought that the
first issue should be 500, ,00o,0oo. War. they
knew was an expensive business, and, al
though there might be no need for that
amount, in all probability there would be.
and, in any event, 1t was always best to
be prepared for every emergency. This
amount, with the $500 100000 now in the
treasury and the s100,0o0ooo a year which
1t is thought will be raised by the pend
ing war revenue bill, will put the finances
of the country on very satisfactory basis.
The secretary was much gratitied at the
patriotic spirit manifested at the confer
ence, and he has no doubt of the hearty
and disinterested support of the leading
capitalists of the country in any emer
gency.

MAY BE SHOT AS A SPY.
Man Named Henry Waits Arrested
Under Suspicious Circumstances
at New Orleans.

New Orleans La, April 2S.-(Special.) The
man Henry Waltz arrested yesterday at
Port Eads by members of the New Or
leans naval battalion is believed to be a
genuine Spanish spy, and the prospects are
bright for him to be the first man executed
in the present war. General Graham COM
mander of the department of the Gulf,
went down to the forts where the prisoner
is confined to-day, and believes from his
examination of the man that he is a spy.
He will announce in a few days commits
sion to try Waltz. United States 'Engi-
neer Major Quinn went down with General
Graham, and was present at the examina-
ton of the man. Major Quinn said to-day
that, in his opinion. the man was guilty
and would be shot as n spy. He had sew
enteen pages written in his notebook. de-
scriptive of the Notifications down there
and also had undeveoped films and maps
of government works. His side of the
story is that he is great traveller. and
always takes copious notes wherever he
goes. Major Quinn says his story is a
flimsy one. General Graham went on to
Texas. not returning to this city.

IMMUNEs TO BE ENLISTED.
Carries Out President Mckin-
ley's SuExestiOn.

Washington. April 2s.-The senate COM
mittee on military affairs to-day agreed
upon a favorable report on the bill re-
moving the limitations on the supplies the
quartermaster's department of the army
may purchase, and also upon the bill per-
mitting the enlistment of a brigade of en-
gineers. Both bills were amended. the lin
itation bill SO as to authorize the secretary
of war to make purchases of supplies
abroad. The engineer bill was amended so
as to permit the enlistment of 10000 yel-
low fever immunes.
The bill was also amended so as to ex-
tend the removal of limitations Of pur-
chases to all bureaus of the war depart
ment, and to all branches of the army,
instead of confining them to the quarter
masters department.
The provision in the engineer bill for
the enlistment of yellow fever immunes
was inserted practically in response to the
presidents request. which was made known
by Secretary Alger. The president and the
secretary both think these troops will be
especially useful in a campaign in Cuba.
They think there will be comparatively lit
tie difficulty in securing the number re-
quired.
