PASSED BY THE HOUSE
The War Revenue Bill, With the Republi.
can Amendments.
Democrats and POpulists, With Six
Exceptions, and Two Republicans
Voted Against the Measure.

The war revenue bill was passed by the
House of Representatives yesterday with
only the amendments agreed upon by the
republican members of the ways and means
committee added. In order to accomplish
this parliamentary maneuver was neces-
sary, as the whole time for amendments
was exhausted by the minority in trying to
amend the bond feature of the bill Mr.
Dingiey offered as a substitute an entirely
new bill containing these amendments after
the Dill had been reported to the House.
This was an old parliamentary expedient
frequently reso-ted to years ago. The Nor
rill tariff law was passed in this way in its
original form after 1t had been loaded down
with amendments in committee of the
whole.
Many amendments were offered to the
bend feature of the bill ranging from a
proposition for the substitution Of an iu-
come tax provision to an authorization for
an issue Of S1500G0,O00 greenbacks. But all
were voted down. At the last minute the
demo Gratis decided to offer the motion to
reccmmit with instructions to report back
the income tax proposition an amend
ment to the bill instead Of as a substitute
for the bond provision. This was due to the
fact that a number of democrats had de-
clined to vote to strike out the bond pro-
vision.
The motion was defeated, 13i-1I3. Four
republicans voted with the democrats and
pCpulists on this vote. But on the final
passage of the bill (Which was carried,
1S1-13D the democrats and populists, with
sin exceptions, voted solidly against the
bill. The democrats who voted for the bill
we're Messrs. Cummings, Mcclellan and
Griggs Of New York; Fitzgerald Massachu-
setts; McAleer of Pennsylvania, and Wheel
er of Alabama. Two republicans. Messrs.
LinEey of North Carolina and Thorp of
Virginia, voted with the opposition. Quite
number of democrats declined to vote.
The Mcmillan amendment to substitute
an income tax for the bond section was de-
feated. 123-1i3.
Mr.. BANDS amendment to issue $50 0OO,-
COO of greenbacks was defeated-106-147.
