After the transaction Of considerable
morning business. consideration of the war
revenue measure was resumed Mr. Stewart
W.
he proposed 10 address himself particularly
TO those paragraphs of the bill which pro-
vided for the coinage OF the silver seignior-
age and the issue of legal tender notes.
He held that the amount of money pro-
duced from taxation under the bill would
depend largely upon the policy adopted
relative to the issue of more money and the
issue of bonds. He believed that with an
issue of bonds 1t would require largely
more taxation to produce d given sum than
1t would without an issue of bonds
In the course of long free silver speech
Mr.. Stewart declared that the revenue bill
as il passed the House of Representatives
was the most miserable, viHainous piece
Of legislation ever enacted by any legisIa-
tive body. He attacked vigorously the
bond proposition of the minority of the
finance committee and urged the coinage
of the silver seigniorage and the issue of
legal tender notes. With those provisions
Incorporated in the proposed law the people
of the United States would be able easily
to furnish all the money, however heavy
the governments demand might be. to
prosecute the war with Spain.
Mr. Allen (Neb.), in opening his speech.
said that If the wishes of some, at least,
of the advocates of the pending bill were
consulted. it would carry only provision
for the issue of bonds and would not place
. cent of taxation upon the people.

THE DISTRICTS QUOTA.


Under the New Call.
1t is said at the adjutant generals Office
this afternoon that the apportionment I'M
der the call for 1900 additional troops will
not be made before tomorrow at the earli-
est. Assuming that these troops will be
apportioned among the states and terri
tories on the same basis employed when
the $4,000 were called for, the District of
Columbia will be called upon to furnish
not more than 200 men. being little more
than two companies of infantry. The Dis
trict'S quota under the call for 125,OO VOL
unteers was a battalion of four companies,
but, as special favor the appertionment
was increased to full regiment of twelve
companies. On account of this increased
apportionment it is, possible that the Dis
trict will not be called upon to furnish any
troops under the present call for 1900
men. -.

Instead of the City Hall
Tower Bell
THREE FIREMEN ARE FIRED
THE CITY COUNCIL OFFERED A
WATER PLANT TO ORDER
For the Item of 1875, ,ooo-Final
Street Inspection-Sewer Mat
ters-City Hall Notes

IL the recommendation adopted by the
morning Is to be carried out in the fu-
ture, alarms of fire may be sounded by
the screeching Of a piccolo steam whistle
or the believing of a siren, as the taste
of the commissioners may dictate. And
all this has been brought about by the
innocent little curfew recommendation
of Councilman Mathuss of the Third
ward.
The request for a curfew bell was first
made of the council by the Mothers Pro-
tective council. The matter was re-
ferred to Councilman Mathuss as a COM
mittee of one, and he reported recon-
mending that the fire bell in the city hall
be tolled each night at 9 o'clock nine
times, as signal to all good little boys
and girls to get off the streets and to bed,
Instead of adopting the report the coun-
ell again referred the matter, this time
to the fire commission, to be informed
whether the tolling of the bell would not
interfere with the fire alarm system.
The commission in turn referred it to the
chief, who yesterday reported as fol-
lows:
I'm the matter of ringing the fire bell
at p. m. daily in accordance with the
request of the Mothers Protective coun-
ell find that this would seriously inter
fere with the department. The fire
alarm should be used for no other pur-
pose than to notify the department of the
location of fires and other department
purposes. 1 would suggest that some
other means of notification be adopted" "
Commissioner Wells at once moved
that the clerk be instructed to communi-
cate to the council suggesting that the
fire alarm system be changed from a bell
to a whistle. His motion was seconded
and amended by Mr.. Kuhrts, who moved
that the bell be transferred to the police
station. from where the curfew could be
rung and that the chief present an est.-
mate of the cost of the change. The mo-
ton and amendment were adopted with
due solemnity.
Mayor Snyder brought up the question
of submitting the fire engines of the city
to an inspection by the boiler inspector.
Commissioner Kuhrts moved that as the
council had ordered that the engines be
inspected they be asked for an appro-
priation Of 5000 to defray the expense Of
dismantling engines and setting them up
again. The ordinance provides that the
boilers shall be given "the hammer test
which necessitates taking the apparatus
to pieces. The motion was adopted.
On recommendation of the chief.
