The House of representatives.
Saturday passed the war revenue
reduction bill. The opposition sought
to recommit the bill with instruc-
tions to report back a measure reduc-
ing the revenue at least $70,0OO,OO
and including a provision for an in
come tax so drawn as to escape an
adverse decision of the Supreme
Court. The motion failed 131 to 155
Thereupon the bill was passed with
out the concurrence of the minority,
who refrained from voting. The
amendment placed in the bill to tax
express receipts was defeated on an
aye and nay vote in the House-125
to 1879.

bill pass Virginia will lose one Cons

WHERE HIS AGUINALDO GONE
The Insurgent Chief Not Named in
Any Late News.
GEN. SCHWAN DOING WELL.

Washington, Jan. 27.-General Otis
eabled report indicates that General
Schwan is conducting the campaign in
the south of Luzon with the greatest
energy. He has located southeast of
Laguna de Bay, in what is probably
the last considerable force of insur-
gents remaining in one command, and
his report shows that with small loss
to himself and heavy loss to the enemy
he has managed to completely dissi-
pate this force, probably beyond the
possibility of reconstruction. General
Otis cablegram is as follows:
A part of General Schwan's column,
consisting of six companies with some
artillery, drove force of 500 insurgents
from their intrenchments at San Diego
near San Pablo. The enemy officially
reported that they lost siXty-seven
killed and many wounded. Our casual
| ties were one killed and II wounded, the
injuries in most instances being slight.
Another battalion, while executing a
| flank movement. came upon hundred
! other rebels in an iatrenched position
and routed them killing fifteen. The
| Americans had two wounded.
| General Schwan moved against Ma
| iayjay, Laguna province. He found its
| position almost impregnable, but, by
lowering men down the steep river
banks by ropes. 1anked the enemy anG
! drove them out. A part of his com
mand proceeded to Santa Cruz, killing
six insurgents.
General Wheeler and his daughtel
left on Wednesday on the transpor

Kong and Guam.

A Wheat Growers, Trust.

Abilene, Kas., Jan. 3O.-An organi-
zation known as the statistical bu-
reau" is being organized in the Da-
kotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Ozlako-
ma, and on the Pacific slope.
Organizers have been and are work
ing in this county, by school districts.
The associations purpose is the
forcing up of the price of wheat. The
plan is to get a large per cent of the
wheat producers to agree to not take
less than a stipulated price for their
wheat; and the promoters claim that
this can be done. 1t is agreed that
the present price is below the natural
price, and that by united effort, on the
part of the growers the pressure which
is brought to bear to hold the price
down must give way.
The plan has new features. Hereto
fore farmers in organizing have had a
twofold purpose: first, to fix the price
on their own products, secondly, to fix
the price which they should pay for
what they buy and for transportation.
Combination of their energies upon
this one point may become an impor-
tant factor in controlling the price OF
wheat.

BULLER RETREATS SAFELY.
Recrossed Tugela River Without
Being Attacked.
LACK OF WATER ON THE KOP.

London, Jan. 3O.-General Butler
reports that Spion Kop was abandoned
because of lack of water.
The Beers say that the British lost
1900 killed Wednesday. Tt is believed
here that this includes the wounded.
The Beers also claim that $50 of the
English troops surrendered at Spion
Kop.
General Butler says: ''The actual
position held was perfectly tenable,
but did not lend itself to an advance
as the southern slopes were so steep
that Warren could not get an effective
artillery position, and water supply
was a difficulty. General Woodgate,
who was in command at the summit,
having been wounded, the officer who
succeeded him decided at night TO
abandon the position and did SO before
draw the force to the south of Tugela
river The fact that the force could
withdraw from actual touch--in some
cases the lines were less that 1,OOC
yards apart-with the enemy, in the
manner it did, is, 1 think, sufficient
evidence of the morale of the troops
and that we were permitted to with
draw our cunbrous OK and mule
transports across the river, eighty five
yards broad, with twenty-foot bank:
and very swift current, unmolested
is, I think, proof that the enemy ha:
been taught to respect our soldiers
! fighting powers. "
