WASHINOTON , May 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Indian congress bill Is In Immi
nent danger of defeat notwithstanding that
the eenato conferees on the Indian bill have
told both Senators Thurston and Allen that
so far as they were concerned they would
support the amendment. Direct opposition ,
it Is understood , comes from Chairman Sher
man of the house committee on Indian af
fairs , who , on the score of economy , be
lieves that It would be an extravagant waste
of money at the present time to vote $43,000
for an ethnological congress of Indians at
Omaha. Representatives Curtis of Kansas
and Little of Arkansas , members of the
conference committee , have personal Items
In the hilt which they hope to secure by
opposing the senate amendment for the In
dian congress.
When this state of affairs was made
known to Allen and Thurston they at once
resolved to do everything In their power to
bring about a change of hearts on the part
of Sherman nnd Curtis. Senator Platt of
New York will , It is thought , take a hand
In bringing order out of chaos and Senator
Thurston will move everything to accom
plish the adoption of the amendment.
A rather unexpected turn to the present
condition of the Indian congress scheme
V
was had today by a telegram from E. Rose *
water , manager of the Department of Pub-
itcuy nnd Promotion , who wired Secretary
Bliss asking If the department would pay
back any moneys paid out In preliminary
arrangements looking to the holding of the
congress providing the sum of money was
appropriated to go ahead with the congress
pending legislation. Mr. Roscwater also
wired Senator Thurston to urge upon the
secretary the Importance of Immediate ac
tion along the lines outlined above. In con
sequence Senator Thurston had an extended
conference with Secretary Bliss , Assistant
Secretary Thomas Ryan and Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Jones In relation to this
most Important feature of the exposition.
Senator Thurston succeeded In receiving
permission for Captain W. A. Mercer to go
ahead on the details of the congress , but the
department refused to be responsible for any
expenses that might be Incurred , but Secre
tary Bliss suggested that Senator Thurston
could obviate any difficulty by having In
serted In the Indian bill n clause covering
preliminary xpcndltures. Later Acting
Secretary Ryan sent the following telegram
to Mr. Rosewatcr :
"Referring to your telegram of yesterday
to the secretary of the Interior I would
stfi'e ' that the department Is without funds
or spc-clfic authority to do anything In the
matter. Under the general powers of the
department Captain Mercer will be directed
to carry out the plans you refer to when
tlie Indian office Is authoritatively advised
that funds sufficient to meet all expenditures
that will necessarily be incurred in fully
carrying out such plans have been donated
for that purpose and deposited In a national
bank to the credit of W. A. Jones , com
missioner of Indian affairs. Should the
department bo authorized at any time by
congress 'to reimburse moneys so donated
and property expended for the purpose re
ferred to Such reimbursement will be made.
It must bo distinctly understood , however ,
that the government does npt and will not
Incur any liability whatever in the mat
ter. "
It is well known that the Interior de
partment is greatly interested In the pos
sibilities of the Indian congress , and It has
been though if Congressman Sherman Is
shown to what extent the plans have gone
ho' may be Induced to forego his opposl-
.tlon.
.tlon.Senator
Senator Thurston for some time has been
nxlous to do something for John Jensen
ot Enid , Okl. , who resided In Flllmore
county , Nebraska , for a number of years
nd was one of the sterling republicans
of that section. Conditions , however , have
been such that It seemed an Impossibility
to secure a place for Jensen uqtll quite
unexpectedly an opening came today In the
Interior department Thurston learned that
the agent ot the Otoe agency In Oklahoma
was to bo removed , and he Immediately
Dressed Jensen's claims with the result that
Secretary Bliss wired Jensen asking It he
would accept the place.
Letters and telegrams are pouring In from
retail druggists of Nebraska to the sena
tors protesting against the Imposition of the
tax on proprietary medicines. Many of the
letters show that the proposed tax of 1 , 2
and 4 cents on articles at present In stock
would work a most unusual hardship , and ,
coupled with the payment of revenue , would
In many cases force tho.- , druggists out ol
the business. This tax' Is giving no end ol
trouble to senators , especially those coming
from the New England states , where many
of these medicines are made , and consequently
quently the finance committee Is having
quite as much difficulty as during the torlfl
discussion In harmonizing differences.
Senator Thurston will deliver the Decora
tion day oration at Arlington.

CHANGING THEJIEVENUE BILL
! < eiin e. f'liinnce Committee Hrturnn n
\iinilirr of Item * to the 1'onltloii
Oeetiplrd lit OrlKlnnl Monmire.
WASHINOTON. May 21. The senate com-
ulttee on finance today agreed upon a num
ber ot additional amendments to the war
revenue bill , and In one or two Instances re
turned to the house provisions.
The most notable change of the latter
character was In the tobacco schedule , the
house rate of 12 cents per pound on manu
factured tobacco being restored.
The rate on cigars weighing less than
three pounds per 1,000 was Increased from
$3.SO to $3.60 per 1,000.
The rate of $1.50 on cigarettes was not
changed , though there was an effort to re
store the house rate of $2.
The provision In regard to life Insurance
companies was changed to provide that the
tax rate upon mutual companies of th'c In
dustrial order should be one-half the rate
upon other life companies.
A uniform license of $12 was also Imposed
upon Insurance agents , and the provision for
a $30 license for foreign Insurance agents
was eliminated.
A number of changes were made In
schedule IJ , which relates to proprietary
articles , but the members of the committee
expressed themselves as quite satisfied with
this schedule after the committee adjourned.
"It Is like trying to perfect the Imperfect-
able , " said one ot them.
One amendment made In this schedule
specifically excludes mineral waters from the
operation of the schedule. ThU was done
In order to meet the general objection that
while mineral waters were eliminated where
specifically mentioned they were liable to
taxation as a drug under the general pro
visions.
Another amendment agreed upon to this
schedule excludes food preparations from Its
operation.
The committee also agreed to take up thn
corporation tax In the senate at the begin
ning of the week , reserving the discussion of
the bond question as the last subject to be
debated In connection with this bill In the
senate.
There Is considerable uncertainty as to
the time that will be consumed In discussing
the corporation question and also some un
certainty as to the result of the vote upon
It. The best opinion Is that the greater
part of the amendment will be stricken out ,
but Its supporters express hope that It may
be retained In modified form.

BERLIN. May 21. Public attention In this
country has been temporarily diverted from
the war to the significant speech recently
made at Birmingham by Joseph Chamber
lain , the British secretary of state for the
colonies. The bulk of opinion , since the
text of the speech has been available , cor
responds to the utterance of Prince Bis
marck , who was quoted as saying :
"The Importance thereof depends upon
whether Mr. Chamberlain's private opinions
are those of the British government. Closer
Anglo-American relations are doubtless feas
ible , but on alliance Is Improbable and un
serviceable to both. Germany's duty plainly
Is to maintain Its Interests by carefully
nursing the good neighborship of the Euro
pean nations. "
Serious diplomats say they do not believe
that an Anglo-American alliance Is feasible ,
except , possibly , for purely pacific and de
fensive purposes. They utterly repudiate
the Idea of Germany joining such an alli
ance.
Relative to the war between Spain and the
United States much Impatience is manifested
In this country over the alleged dllatorlness
of the belligerents. Those persons doubting
America's ability to put a military force In
the field strong enough to overcome the
Spanish and to quickly end the war are
again In the ascendant.
The superiority of the American navy is
also again questioned and the failure of
Rear Admiral Sampson's ships to locate and
meet the fleet of Admiral Cervera Is re
garded In German naval circles as a sign ot
weakness. Many newspapers comment on
the alleged lack of discipline In the Ameri
can fleet and publish stories in connection
therewith.
Itevoliitloii Threaten ) * Spain.
Count von Radowltz , the German ambas
sador at Madrid , sent a report this week to
the German foreign office on the political
situation in Spain. He expresses the opin
ion that an outbreak of the people Is merely
a question of tlmo and that further Spanish
reverses must launch n revolution.
Although there is not a real famine In
Germany , bread and grain prices are still
rising , especially In South Germany , where
the price of bread is 50 per cent above the
rate that prevailed In January lost.
The liberals and socialists claim that this
condition of affairs Is the result of agrarianIsm -
Ism , and blame the government for not re
ducing the Import duty on grain. .
Some persons urge that maize should be
used more largely , but the socialist press
condemns this , and declares that maize is
unhealthful and unfit for human food.
They express the hope that all German
workers will refuse to buy maize bread.
The speech of Emperor William at the
close of the Prussian Diet on Wedue'sday
last. In which he proposed the Prussian state
railroad system , has been sharply criticised
on all sides. Even the semi-official papers
say the speech has met with contradiction
and amazement everywhere.
The foreign office Incumbents say thcj
have received no information In regard u
the reported tories of troubles In Samoa , ami
they do not credit them.
The Prussian government has Issued o
new decree urging the provincial authorities
to pay the strictest attention to the .Inspec
tion of American pork and other meats , and
citing the alleged frequent recurrence ol
trichinosis. It Is pointed out that sixty-foui
cases of trichinosis occurred In a single sub
urb of Berlin , and that 127 cases have beer
discovered within six months In the district
of Stettin.

United Stntm In Thin Crlnlii.
WINONA , LAKE , Ind. , May 2l. Today
the Pesbyterian general assembly resolved
Itself Into a patriotic mass mealing. En
thusiasm ran high. Sentiments expressed
favorable to an Anglo-American alliance
were vorclferously cheered , nnd the follow
ing resolution was adopted :
"That 'the ' Presbyterian chutch in the
United States of America endorses the wise
and patriotic course pursued by the presi
dent In the conduct of the war , and hereby
pledges to him , and to the army and navy ,
our sympathy , our prayers and our blip-
port. "
A supplementary resolution. Introduced by
George A. Penlacost of Yonkurs , N. Y. .
recognized the sympathetic expression of
fellowship on the part of the Urltlsh people
ple In the present crisis , based upon the
solidity of the Anglo-Saxon race , and ex
pressed the "heartfelt deslro that all old
animosities heretofore existing between our
selves and the mother country , be buried
under the new and rising tld > j of blood kin
ship ; and that , henceforth , the two Licat
countries may be united In an indissoluble
union that shall make for universal j-eace
and righteousness. "
Dr. Charles Work of Cincinnati pro idled
at today's meeting. He said that the Pres
byterian church must bo true to Its tradi
tions of liberty. "One hundred years of
freedom ore looking down upon ua , " bo ox-
claimed. "Loyalty to the Cuban cause Is
loyalty to God. " His reference to the po
litical unity of the north and south , already
accomplished , and a possible Anglo-Ameri
can alliance , were greeted with shouts of
approval.
A speech was made on behalf of the
colored people by Dr. David Brown , a 'Hegro
from South Carolina.
Rev. Theodore F. Durnham of California
told ot the work done on behalf of the sailors
(
ors In the navy yard at Mare Island , nnd
as he sat down , Dr. McCook called for "three
[ cheers for the web-feet and the Jackles' all. "
> Dlviillnir lilnp In Warfare.
Elder Charles J. Merrltt of Chicago , who
enlisted In 1861 from the Nutmeg stall , de
clared that the Maine "marked the line
dividing clvllzed | warfare from dastardly
treachery. "
One of the features of the afternoon was
the speech of Rev. J. M. Darklcy of De
troit , whom Dr. McCook greeted as a "John
nie Reb. " He dwelt upon the present
patriotic ties uniting the north and youth ,
glorying in the fact that the first blood
'split In the present contest was that of the
south , and that It was mingled with northern
blood on the Wlnslow , off Cardenas.
j Elder Noel Dlakeman of New York < htn
spoke , and the final address was made by
Dr. Henry M. McCook. He commended the
work of the National Relief committee , and
caused no small degree of enthusiasm by
reference to deeds of the past and anticipa
tions of the future.
The reports of the board of relief
r
for disabled ministers , and the widows and
orphans of deceased ministers , was sub
mitted. The report showed that 875 names
were carried on the roll. Among them were
342 ministers , -172 widows and twenty-nine
orphan families. The average
amount of annuities paid was
)205. Last year the board reported
a debt of 120,911 ; this year a working bal
ance ot $6S26. This was due to the fact
that 4,120 churches have contributed to the
needs of the board , being an increase of
691 orcr the number of churches giving In
any previous year. The receipt ! for 1897-98
rwere : From churches , JS3.1GI : from Indi
viduals , $15,743 ; on Interest account , $7,334 ;
unrestricted legacies , $27,803 ; total , $197-
13G , or an Increase of J3S.2SO over last year.
The Item of unrestricted legacies had been
used for current expenses under permission
from the last assembly. The board's perma
nent funds amount to $1,532,549 , only the
income from which is used.
I'eiifflclnrlcK Are Scattered.
The beneficiaries of the board are scat
tered all over the country and the board
maintains also a home at Perth Aniboy ,
N. J.
J.The
The first sign of the McClffert case was
seen In a reference by the assembly of nn
overture from the Presbytery of Pltlsburg
to the committee on bills and overtures. A
report may be expected at any time , but
probably not till some time next week.
A detailed statement of work of the
board of relief was made by Dr. Hen L.
Agnew. secretary of the board. He urged
the claims of this board , quoting the com
mand , "Foresake not the Levlte. " It was
declared that to leave a minister In old age
without suport was wicked , wanton and
Weylerish. The pathos of the secretary's
appeal found expression In moist eyes all
over the assembly.
A fraternal message was received from
tno southern Presbyterian assembly In ses
sion as New Orleans , in reply to a telegram
sent yesterday , as follows :
Your greetings received with a high
esteem nnd prayerful sympathy In your
work ; In the extension of the kingdom of
Christ , with special reference to your co
operative labors In Brazil , Corea and
Japan. We send you our cordial saluta
tions.

Ing session of the Cumberland Presbyterian

21 , a suitable reply was directed sent. Rev.
W. H. Dlaclt , D. D. , president of the Mis
souri Valley college , presented greetings of

CHATTANOOGA , Tcnn. , May 21. All the
regiments In camp at Chlckamauga have
settled down to hard work and arc under
going practical training In the art ot war.
The business-like methods being pursued
by General Brooke will make the army
available for active service much earlier
than many officers believed possible.
Supplies of every description continue to
pour In. Carload after carload of provi
sions arrive , and a vast amount of clothIng -
Ing and equlppage Is also being received.
The indications now are that the entire
army will be equipped during the next two
weeks. Captain W. K. Wright , assistant
quartermaster , received notice today that
4,500,000 rations , In addition to the first or
der , had been purchased and are now en-
route. Prosper , Lazard & Co. have begun
work on an immense bakery In the park.
This firm has a contract to supply the army
with 75.000 loaves of bread dally.
The chaplains of the various reglmcn'ta
have started a fight against the liquor sa
loons scattered all over the camp. They
have a strong backing and the saloons will
probably be abolished.
The park army now numbers nearly 35-
000 men and each day adds to It several
thousand. The formation of the First array
corps , has been completed and today the
formation of the First division ot the Third
corps was begun. General James H. Wade
will command this division.
During the last few days a number of
serious depredations have been committed
by the worst elements of the volunteers.
The miscreants have been so severely pun
ished , however , that no further trouble ta
expected.
