WAR BILL DEBATE:

in the House.
Provides for $lOO,oOO,oOO Row

Absence Of the Usual Bitter

WAsz1xoToN. April 38.-Ths general
debate upon the measure framed b
the ways and means committee to
meet tho extraordinary expenditures ct
the war with Spain opened In the
house daring the day. There was q
signal absence Of that partisan RANGER
which has always HERETOFORE characters
lied debates Of revenue measures.
Both sides, speaking through their -
speotive leaders, Msssrs. Dingley and
Bailey, eonourred in tho necsssity
which existed for Immediately raising
hundreds Of millions to prosecute the
war, but tho opposing doctrines which
they held FLASHED at the first onset over
tho methods by which tho revenue
should DO raised. Tho section provid!
ing for @600, 00o, 900 Of bonds became
tho target Of the
Democratic aad Populistie Opposition,
and Mr.. Bailey, In an hours speech.
argued for an income tax which would
raise $l00, GOO, 900 year, tho coinage Of
tho silver seigniorage and the issue OF
e58, 600, 900 of legal tender notes a. an
alternative proposition. Mr.. Dingley
declared that it was almost incredible
that any one could seriously propose in
such q crisis that tho government
should rely for funds upon the proceeds
Of = proposition which the supreme
court had already decided against thu
government. Mr.. sayers (Tex.) de-
voted his time TO an argument to
demonstrate that the money to be
raised BY the bill was excessive and
would breed reckless prodigaoy. The
expenses Of the civil war in 1854, when
tho government maintained 2,0O0, 100
mon in tho field and had four times as
many ships as it had today, were only
81, 100, COX, 900. In view Of that fact, he
commended that to raise $690, 000, 600 to
carry on . war
Insisuineeut In Comparison,
must result In useless waste and ex-
trsvaganoe. The Populists all vigor-
ously opposed tho bond proposition.
Mr.. Deliver ia. }. In by far the most
notable speech Of the day, added to his
reputation - . brilliant orator. He
assailed tho position Of the opposition
in tho early portion Of his speech, but
it, partisan favor disappeared toward
the close, and he aroused the house and
galleries to cheers a, with eloquent
words, he touched the high, unselnsh
cause Of humanity in which the United

WASHINGTON, April 28.-As to the
reports Of the imminence of q naval
battle off the Philippine islands the
naval authorities here seriously doubt
whether the Spanish feet will make q
stand against the American ships.
Their reason tor this belief is that the
Spanish feet is very inferior to the
American force under Admiral Dewey.
The department.. therefore, 10 satisfied
that the Spanish feet will not go to do
battle on the high seas with Admiral
Dewey, but will remain in port to &C.

Entering n Mosque.

Richard Davoy, in his book, 1.-The
Sultan and His Subjects, says:
"The popular idea that people are
obliged as sign of respect to take
off their shoes before entering O
mosque is incorrect. This is done
simply because the floors of the
mosques are covered either with
mats or carpets, which must be
scrupulously clean, as during their
devotions the faithful touch them
perpetually with their foreheads.
If you wear galoches, or overshoes,
you have only to remove them and
boldly walk into the mosque in your
boots. Another popular error con-
nected with the mosques is tho be-
lief that, according to the Koran,
Christians must not be allowed to
cnter them. This is absolutely op-
posed to the teaching of the Koran,
which declares that any man or
woman may enter n mosque, be
his religion what it may. Indeed
in the earlier period of the history
of Islam it was considered that to
invite them to attend the service

House. The lecture was heard by q
large number of confederate veterans.
After dwelling at length on the nu-
merous successes gained by Lee during
tho civil war, Mr.. Andrews closed by
saying:
"But great as were tho achievements
of this great man as a general, incom.
parably greater than his military genius
was his grand and almost unmatched
moral character. His unselhshness, his
patience, his love of justice, all his at
tributes conspired to make his the en-
bodiment Of nobility. He was an ideal
civilian, without fear and without re-
proach, pure Of thought and speech,
never irreverent.
"People nre prone to allude to all Lee
fought for as the lost cause Yet, like
Oliver Cromwell, Lee has accomplished
what he fought for, and more than could
have been accomplished had he been
victorious. At the close Of the war we
find the supreme court Of the United
States deciding the status of individual
states, and the result is found to be that
while the Union is declared to bo indie.
structible, each state is regarded as an
indestructible unit of that nation Who
would dare wipe out today O states in.
dividuality, and do we not find today, in
stead Of a centralized power in congress
adiudicating things pertaining to tho
states, the states themselves settling
these matterS?"

GREAT ROAR OF APPLAUSE

All the Present Officers of Association
Are Renoininated and Given New
Terms by the Reunion Convention
In Session at Atlanta.
ATLANTA, July 22-The fight over
the place for holding the next gather
ing of confederate veterans grows
warmer with the progress of the re-
union. The Kentucky delegation, which
last night was practically sure of the
convention, finds this morning that
Charleston is in tho fight to stay and
the influence of the South Carolina del
egation is rapidly spreading.
The Kentucky delegation was assured
yesterday of the support Of Tennessee,
but it appears that that state. at n meet
ing, voted II to 33 to go Charleston. In
the speechmaking at the Tennessee
meeting much was made of the fact
that S75,O 900 had been subscribed for the
It. A X. encampment and that, accord
ing to telegram from Mayor Weaver
of Louisville, but $4,000 had been
pledged for the confederates. Tcsae
announces itself in favor of New Or
leans, but as that city is not making
any special effort toward securing tho
meeting, it is believed hy the Louisville
delegation that kentucky will get the
Texas vote OH the second ballot.
The crowds are much larger than an
ticipated and last night several churches
were thrown open for the accommoda-
ton Of the veterans.
In the afternoon there were reunions
OF chaplnlns and surgeons i'll the rooms
OF the Young Mems Christian associa-
tlon building, also reunions of regiments
and batteries in places selected by them
Called TO Order by Gordon.
General John B. Gordon called the

proud Of our country. Chsersl God

been spared by His providence to sing

lutions were announced.
