md Means Committee

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The ways and
means committee met in special session at
10 o'clock this morning, TO consider the bin

tent of about $780, Oo. 600. as previously
framed by the Republican members OF the
committee and introduced by Chairman
Payne yesterday. There was an unusually
large attendance for an early meeting.
there being but two Observation-Disclosures.
Republican, and Robinson. Democrat. Mr..
Payne laid the bill before the committee
and discussion of its provisions at once be-
gan. When the beer section of the bill was
reached fixing the rate at 20 per cent. in
stead of ~ per cent, which makes the rate
SLIGO per barrel. Representative Richardson.
the ranking minority member. moved a
further reduction of all the increase made
by the war revenue act. The effect of this
motion, if carried, would have been TO make
the rate 81 per barrel. The motion was de-
feated by a party vote. Consideration by
sections proceeded, the bill being preserved
in the main. as framed by the Republic
ans.
When the meeting closed at u o'clock
Mr.. Payne, with the concurrence of Mr..
Richardson, authorized the proceedings TO
be given out in detail. Mr.. Richardson's
motion on the beer tax was the first test
of strength. 1t provided for a fiat rate OF
81 per barrel, instead of 81. This was lost,
o to 3, on "A strict party vote. Mr.. Swanson,
of Virginia, then moved TO recommit the
bill TO a subcommittee. with instructions
to prepare a measure making 10000, 600 re-
duction. Lost by the same vote. Mr.. Swan
son next unsuccessfully moved to eliminate
all special taxes on tobacco dealers i'm
posed by the war revenue act.
Mr.. Underwood. of Alabama, presented
a substitute bill repeating the entire war
revenue act, providing for a 3 per cent.
tax on incomes over 5000 and re-enacting
the present inheritance tax. On this vote
two of the Democrats, Mcclellan, of New
York and Newlands, of Nevada. did not
vote, the result being the defeat of the
substitute TO 3. Mr.. Underwood moved to
restore the tax on telephone messages. and
Mr.. Newlands offered an amendment re-
storing II 10 telegraph messages, but re-
Quiring the companies to pay the tax. Both
propositions were LOST to 9. Mr.. Cooper.

tances. This was lost on a viva voce vote.

TYPHOID IN THE CAMPS.
General Report
on the Disease in the Army.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Surgeon Gen.
eral Sternberg to-day made public a report
upon the origin and spread of typhoid fever
in the United States military camps dur
ing the Spanish war of 1893, prepared at his
instance by the board consisting of Maj or
Walter Reed, surgeon u. S. A; Major
Victor C. Vaughan. division surgeon u.
6. ". and Major Edward O.. Shakespeare,
brigade surgeon L. S. ". The surgeon
general prefaces the report by calling at
tention to the vast amount Of work the
medical corps was called upon to perform
during the war in order to cope with the
tremendous increase of the army lin the
field. and comments on the widespread
prevalence of typhoid in 1898. 10000 cases
of this disease appearing among the troops
encamped within the limits Of the United
States from May until September of that
year.
A general summary of the conclusions
reached by the board indicates that during
the Spanish war every regimen constitut-
ing the First, Second, Third. Fourth, Fifth
and Seventh Army Corps developed ty-
phoid fever, this being true Of both the
volunteer and regular commands. More
than 80 per cent. of the cases are shown
TO have developed within three to five weeks
after the tents went up. Typhoid became
epidemic In all camps, large and small.
North ana SOutn, ana was IOulu 10 De so
widely distributed in this country that one
or more cases were likely to appear in any
regiment within eight weeks after assem-
bly,, whether on the march or stationary.
1t is also stated that, with typnoid fever
as widely disseminated as il is in this
country, the chances are that If a regI-
ment OF 1850 men should be assembled in
any section, and kept in a camp having
the most perfect sanitary conditions, one
or more cases of the fever would develop.
Nevertheless it was found that many COM
mands during the wal were unwisely To-
Gated, that the space allotted TO regiments
was. in some instances, entirely made
quate, and that many regiments were al
lowed to remain on one site too long.
Except where urgent emergency makes
it necessary. the board suggests that one
regiment should not be located in a place
vacated by another. 1t Is recommended
that the soldicrss' beds should he raised
from the ground, for the men are reported
to have slept in dust-piles possibly infected
With typhoid germs, and also that the
soldiers be made TO remove their outer
clothing at night. wherever possible.
