THE hoUsE

Washington, April "A possible reduc- tion of the war tax was foreshadowed in resolution introduced in the house today calling upon the secretary of the treasury for information as to the probable surplus existing In the revenue laws would create during this and the coming fiscal year. The resolution was presented by MT Payne, the floor leader of the majority. It follows:
 Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be, and he hereby is required to inform the house of representatives, wheth- CT in his opinion, based upon such knowl- edge as he has, the present laws for the raising of revenue are creating and will continue to create surplus in the treas ury over and above the wants of the gov- ernment, and if so, to what extent at the end of the current fiscal year and like report as to the fiscal year ending June 30 1901: that he also report to the house his estimates of the probable receipts of the treasury from all sources of revenue of these years, to-wit: customs, internal rev. enue and miscellaneous sources.
 Resolved, That he also report to the house, the amount of internal taxes received under the war revenue act of June 13 1898, upon articles not heretofore taxed: that said statement be itemized as far as possi- ble for the year ending June 30, 1899, and for the nine months ending March 31 1900.
 MT. Grosyenor's Resolution
 MT. Grosvenor of Ohio then introduced the following resolution:
 Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be- and he is, hereby requested to report to the house of representative the names of persons firms and corpora tiOns. w,1o from time to time have paid customs duties on goods and articles of every description which have entered the Unjted States from Porto Rico since the treaty with Spain, with the articles and amounts paid by each and the dates of such. Pa yments.
 Mr. McRlae of Arkansas offered an amendment adding to the resolution the following words:
 And also, if possible from whom these importers purchased said goods''
 MT. Grosvenor declined to accept the amendment, and the democrats forced an aye and may vote upon it. The amend ment was lost by a vote of S1 to S9 and the resolution was then adopted without division.
 This being District of Columbia day, the house then proceeded to the consideration or District business, passing among other measures, bill to increase the tax on the premiums of foreign insurance companies doing business in the District of Columbia from to 11a per cent.
 Under suspension of tfle rules, bills were passed to open for settlement AIS, 900 acres of land in the Fort Hall Indian reservation and 2,5W acres in Oklahoma, and to appro- priate S0e0O0 for a military post at Sheri- dan Wyo

WARM DEBATE
 IN THE SENATE Advocates of Porto Rico Tariff BiN Faced Hot Fire, FINAL VOTE TAKEN TODAY An Effort VIII be Made to Extend the Time of Debate Beyond 4
 O'clock, the Time
 Agreed On.
FINAL VOTE TAKEN TODAY

Washington, April 2.-Advocates and op- ponents of the Porto Rico tariff and gov ernment bill waged vigorous war in the senate today for more than seven hours Long before the senate convened at Il o'clock the galleries were crowded and so they remained until the senate adjourned. Those who listened to the debate today were well repaid. The speeches were good and the running debate unusually bright and lively. During the speech of MT. Spooner, of Wisconsin, particularly, the chamber seemed to scintillate with sparks, as he crossed argumentative swords with some of the best debaters on the democrat ic side. His address, if so it could be call ed, was devoted almost wholly to a dis cussion of questions involved in the pending bill.
 MT. Bate, of Tennessee, opened the de- bate of the day with carefully prepared speech in opposition to the bill.
 He was followed by Mr. Cullom, repub- lican of Illinois, in vigorous speech SUD- porting he measure. Then came MT. De- pew, republican of New York, a member of who made an eloquent and forceful defense oi the iuedsule. MT Spooner, WHO spoke next was followed by MT. Perkins, repub- lican of California, also a member of the committse-on Porto Rico, who presented a strong argument for the bill. The closing speech was delivered by MT. Simon, repub- liean of Oregon, who, in criticsing the measure, entered into a brief discussion of the political effects of its passage
 The final vote on the bill will Joe taken late tomorrow. It is arranged for o'clock, but an effort will be made to extend the time for, debate beyond that hour
