HOUSE.
The general debate on the war rev.
nue. bill closed last night. afterSH hours
of speech-making. The debate la.keI
both spirit and interest. There WIS
little discussion of the internal rev.
enuc features of the bill. The demo
crafts continued their assaults on the
bond feature and their advocacy of the
income tax. The latter was ridiculed
as u substitute proposition by the re-
publicans. The authority to borrow
money was defended by them as abso-
lutely necessary.
There is a difference of opinion on
the democratic side as to whether the
bill should be voted for upon its final
passage after the minority amendments
are voted down. A number of the
democrats, led by Mr.. Mcclellan. of
New York. have announced their pur-
pose of so voting, but the majority of
the democrats believe they could not
justify a vote for a bond issue.
An efforts is being made to avoid an
aye and no vote on the final passage to
prevent an exhibition of this division.
and it seems probable that it will be
successful.
There may be some difficulty about
the committee amendments decided
upon. as under the order the bond fea-
lures of the bill must first be taken up
under the tive-minute rule to-day.
If the amendments to the sections
shoIld exhaust the time before four
o'clock. the committee amendments
would be ruled out and would have to
be inserted by the senate.

made.

SECRETARY OF STATE MOORE.
The New Assistant Acts in the Absence of
His Supcrior-The Hawaiian An
nexation Question.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Prof. John
L. Moore qualified yesterday as assist
ant secretary of state, and, in the alb
sence of Secretary Day. received the
representatives of foreign governments
having diplomatic business with the
United States. Among them were the
Portuguese minister and Mr.. Hatch,
minister from Hawaii.
The latter, it is understood, called to
ascertain. so far as possible, the policy
of the United States with regard to
the republic of Hawaii in connection
with the war with Spain. 1t is said
he had no information to communicate
concerning the report that the United
States flag had been raised at Homo
lulu. the latest mails received at the
legation making no reference to such
an act.
Although it is impossible to obtain
any official information on that par
ticular point, it is understood that the
Hawaiian minister IA informed that
the ministration was not likely to
change its policy towards the Hawaiian
islands, pending action by the senate
on the treaty providing for the an
nexation of the islands to the United
States.
