CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
1t Will Not Be Made Without Author
fty Of Congress.


WASHINGTON, April 16.-Adjt. Gen.
Corbin said today in the most positive
terms that no call for volunteers for
military service, either militiamen or
others, would be made unless such a
step is authorized by congress and ap-
proved by the president. He said that
all the details of such a call rested in
the hands of the president, and so far
as he (Gen. CorbiD knew nothing had
yet been settled in the matter, beyond
decision to make such a call in case
it became necessary and was fully au-
thorized by the action Of congress
1t was impossible for him to say at
this time how many men are likely to
be called out under the first call, but in
other quarters it was learned that the
president had practically decided, in
the event of legislation to that end, to
issue proclamation asking for SO, 600
volunteers. Gen. Corbin said that, if
this was done. the call would be ap-
portioned among the different states
and territories, according to their pop-
ulation, and that organization of the
forces would be left entirely to the
judgment of the governor Of the sew
eral states and territories, upon whom
would devolve also the duty and power
of selecting all the officers of the diff
ferent volunteer organizations.
The war department recognizes the
complete jurisdiction of the governors
in the matter Of the organization of
the volunteer troops raised in their re-
spective states.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Re
publican members of the ways and
means committee of the house have
practically completed the preparation
of the revenue measure, which will be
passed to raise revenue suftcient TO
prosecute the war.
The members propose that the pres
ent generation shall bear the burdens
of the war and, proceeding upon that
theory, they have prepared a bill that
will raise between S100, 900 to $780,
000 900 additional revenue per annum.
The bill will provide for an additional
tax of 81 per barrel upon beer. from
which sSO,OOO0 600 will be raised. On
manufactured tobacco and snuff, the
internal revenue tax will be Increased
frc.4l to u cents. This is expected
to raise SIS, ,000, 900 of revenue. The in
crease on cigars and cigarettes has
not been absolutely fixed, but probably
will be 81 on all classes. From this
S5,O00000 is expected.
The proposition which the senate
placed on the tariff bill. but which
went sut on conference, to tax all
stocks and transfers of corporations
is embodied in the measure. together
with practically all the scheme Of in
ternal revenue taxation of the act Of
1866. which includes a stamp tax on all
business mortgages, loans and bonds),
a tax on patent and proprietary medi
cines, and a tax on telegraph mes
sageS and express packages is also in
corporated in the bill.
This scheme of taxation is estimated
to raise S35, 100000. The tax on propri-
etary and patent medicines will be 2
cents on package or bottle retailing at
% cents or under and cents on those
retailing above that price. The tax on
telegraph messages will be l cent on
all messages which collect 25 cents or
less, and 2 cents on all above % cents.
A duty of 10 cents per pound is plac
ed on tea and cents per pound upon
coffee, with counterVailing internal
revenue tax on stock on hand. This
latter will be in the form of a tax on
sales of stock on hand, to avoid the
constitutional inhibition against a di-
rect tax. From tea and coffee $2S, 900, 900
are estimated. Bottled waters are to
bear tax similar to patent medicines.
For the pressing need of the govern
ment, the secretary of the treasury is
given the general power to issue Ger
Iificates of Indebtedness, payable in one
year, and to bear not to exceed per
cent interest. The secretary Of the
treasury is also authorized to borrow
on the credit Of the government, by
popular subscription, a loan of $780,
G0O,0G0. This loan is to be placed
through the pOstoffices of the country,
the subtreasuries and government de-
positories in low rate bonds, which are
to be sold at par They are to bear
3 per cent interest and to be redeem
able after five years, at the option of
the government, and to be due in twen-
ty years. The principal and interest
are to be payable in coin.
The measure will be presented to the
full committee probably on Monday,
and it will be brought into the house
as soon as the war resolutions are
signed by the president.
