BREWERS TO PAY ONE-HALF.
Agreement With the Retail Liquor
 Dealers on Payment of Beer Tay

Agreement With the Retail Liquor
 Dealers on Payment of Beer Tax.
 The Retail Liquor Dealers associa- fion will meet next Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee appointed to confer with the brewers on an agree ment about paying the beer tax. This committee will report that the local brewers have agreed to bear one-half of this tax if the retail dealers will pay the other half. It is understood that this agreement is satisfactory to the retail liquor dealers and that many of them are already doing business on this basis, having so agreed with the brew CTS.
 While as yet no definite word has been received from the New York brew CTS with whom local dealers do busi- ness it is generally thought by mem bers of the local association that those brewers will enter into the agreement to stand one-half the tax.
 Thomas H. Sullivan is one of the committee appointed to confer with the brewers, and he was chiefly instrument tai in introducing the plan whereby the brewer was to stand one-half the tax and the retail dealer the other half. He has written to all the larger brew CTS of the country on the subject, and although he has not yet heard from all, he has received many replies faYoring his plaE.

From Chickamauga Park.

CHATTANOOGA, June THE main
work of the regimental commanders
outside OF the regular routine during
the next few weeks will be the work OF
recruiting each company to its full
strength of 1O6 men. The major OF
each battalion accompanied by four
men will be sent out to do the recruit
ing. When the regiments are recruited
to full strength the park army will
number rs 900 men. The First Regi'
ment South Carolina Infantry, under
Col. Thompson, arrived this afternoon.
All the light batteries Of artillery at the
park are now fully equipped and the
infantry regiments will soon receive
their equipment. Three division hos
pitfalls are now complete and in opera
lion and there are sufficient medical
supplies on hand to last some time.
The volunteers, however, expect more
and use more medicine than the regu-
lars. One third of four and a.half mil
lion rations last ordered have been re-
ceived and the balance is coming as
fast as train loads can haul it. The
army is now about fully supplied with
cavalry, artillery, wagon train and Of
iicers' horses, and mules, and only few
more are needed.

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.

A dispatch from Washington says
The conferees on the war revenue
bill expect within in the next few days
to submit report to the two Houses and
bone to reach final agreement before
the end of this week. 1t is understood
that the provision for the coinage OF
the silver bullion in the treasury will
be stricken from the measure, and that
this is probably the only general pro-
vision that may cause delay. Other
changes expected in the bill will be
prlnci pally matters of detail and will
effect it's scope and general features
only to a limited degree. Such excel
lent progress was made yesterday to-
wards an agreement that advocates of
Hawaiian annexation in the House
have been asked to wait until the con.
ference report is accepted before al
tempting to call up that measure.
Members of the Houseianticipate that
when the conference report, eliminat-
ing the silver coinage feature of the
bill. is presented to the Senate it may
be rejected upon the first vote and a
further conference insisted upon. In
this event it is thought probable eau
Gus OF republican Senators will be held,
and those republicans who have voted
with the silver men for the amendment
will be brought into line by the force of
caucus dicipline.
