A -Chairman Dosley ! of the ways nnd means
cnmmlitto today submitted to the house
' vlth the war isvcnuc bill the following Te-
1 iiort : .
The participation of the United States In
a war with Spain has rendered It necessary
, , to Immediately provide ways and means
i to meet war expenditures on the scale de
manded by modern naval and military op
erations. Such an unwelcomed demand on
our resources comes nt a time when un
der the workings of the tariff act qf July
24 , 1S97 , we had begun to overcome In large
measure the Injurious effect of anticipatory
Importations and had already received In
t'no months of February nnd March revenue
more than J3.0CO.COO In excess of ordinary
l > jace expenditures for these months ( J4.COO.-
000 of the expenditures appearing In the
March statement having been made on the
account of preparations for national de
fense under authority of the Joint resolu
tion of Marc'n 9) ) . and tbat , too. with a.
largo falling off cf customs revenue the last
ten days of March In consequence of the
disturbance of trade arising from threat
ened war.

WAR CHANGES ESTIMATES.
There Is no doubt that If peace conditions
had 'continued the estimate of the secretary
of the treasury that the revenue for the
next llscal year would leueYi $390,000.000
exc."uslvo of postal receipts $83 , < XWCOO In PX >
cpss'of the revenue for the fUcal y = ur 1S96 ,
nnd. more than that sum In excess cf what
the revenues for tne next liseal year , 1S37 ,
uould havs been If It had not been for
antlclpdtnry Importations In the last four
months of the latter year to nvotd the In-
doused dutlrc ot the nci.v tariff would have

tures paid by postal rc-venu ? , were only
J3j2.009.OCO. and for ths lUcnl year 1S9S only
5303,000,00) . These dlfllcultlex , even before
wnr conditions arose , had so stirred the pub

LRVY REVENUE TAXES.
With this objct In vlj.v your commltt''e '
recommends tha Ifvyln ? of inttrim !
revenue tax > ; s either cji articles of v-luntary
consumption , or on objects that will make
such taxes fall mainly on persons able to
contribute ! to the national defense , which
will In the aggregate yield from $ SOCOOCCO
to $100,000,000 of annual additional revenue.
The report then enumerates the different
articles to be taxed and the estimate hereto-
tore published ot the amount of revenue to
bo derived , und continues :
These are all taxes on objects which were
taxed during or subsequent to the civil war ,
with one exception , and therefore open up )
no new and untried system of taxation.
They arc all Internal revenue war taxes
that can b collected by the existing Interi
nnl revenue olllclals slightly Increased , with
a small additional expense , and wlt'n the
minimum disturbance of trade , although
they are all taxes which arp unwelcome and
which It would not have been necessary to
Impose if war had been avoided.
While all of the additional taxes are war
taxes , w'nlch would be naturally repealed or
modified when the necessities of war and
the payment of wnr expenses have ceased ,
yet It Is impossible now to place a limit on
them , not only for the reason that no one
can Intelligently forecast the length of the
war , but also for the reason t'nat war al
ways brings a train of extrardlnary ex
penditures which do not terminate with the
close of actual hostilities.
It Is evident that It will be necessary In
order to maintain the public credit , not only
to raise the additional revenue provided by
the accompanying bill , but also to authorize
t'ne secretary of the treasury to borrow on
the credit of the government from time to
time us the publlu necessities will require.
Wo have given him pawer , therefore , to
Ispue nnd sell not exce > r < lpg ! $503,000,000 of
ten-twenty 3 per cent coin bonds , to b ; of
fered 0.31 a popular loan , l > > llr.vlng aswe do
that such a , lean will be taken from time to
tlnin by th-t masses cf the p.ople.
Wo have fixed ten years aa the perlol
after which the bonds issued may lie re-
dwmtd nt the pleasure of th } United States ,
not because we consldsr It neco-iaary to do
this In order to secure subscription at par
Tor the latter Issue , but also from the fact
that the$100COO,0 < X ) S j > r cent Issu ? of 1I&1
nnd thu 5 por1 cent IcarJ of 1809 would Inev
itably be paid cr refunded by the govern
ment bef-pj u | 3 p < ? r fwmt bond would be re
deemed , making a bond that could ba re
deemed at Uio e-nd of ten years aa dcnlrablo
to Issue as ono rede mablc > at the end of
five years.
In vluw of the- fact that It < n 111 necessarily
bo a few weeks bt'foro tire proposed war
taxes can bring results , and b.'foro ths loan
authorized can iprovldi ? fund * to meet the
| , \ar expenditures , authority Is given the secretary -
rotary of the treasury to temporarily bar
row money , Iri no case nxcti'tllng one year ,
by the Issue of 3 per cent certificates of in
debtedness. It is Important that the secre
tary of the traisury jhall have thU author
ity In any exigency that may arise In the
future.
No doubt Is expressed among republican
members ot the senate finance committee
as to the pacalng of the war measure with
the betid proposition In It. Nearly all re
publican members of the eenate are said to
favor It , and from alx to ten on the demo
cratic aldo expect to vote with them.
At the meeting of Uie ways and means
committee today , Mr. Halley. on behalf of
the democratic minority , offered the sub
stltute agreed upon by them for the proposi
tion In the bill authorizing the Issue of
$500,000,000 coin bonds. It provided for an
Income tax ot 3 par cent en Incomes from all
oources In excess ot 12,000. State , county
and municipal bonds , however , were ex-
ceptcd from Its provisions tp meet the
unanimous decision ot the supreme court In
thlfe respect.
Tte minority estimated that such an In
come tax would reach $100.000,000. Coupled
\vld ! It was the prcpctiltlca to coin tbo
silver seigniorage , which at present amounts
to $42,000,000.
Ted substitute was voted down By a strict
party vote. No amendments were ottered
lo other provisions ot the bill owing to the
lick of time.

SCENES VIV.DLY RECALL DAYS OF ' 61
People Throng ihc Street * nnd Follow
the ainrchlnir Column * to the
Depot to Cheer the Hey * on
Their Errand of War.
CHICAGO , April 26. Over 4,000 fighting
men marched out of Chicago tonight bound
for the war. Slnca the early- days of 1881
no such scenes were witnessed In this city
as transpired this evening In the regimental
armories. In the streets through which the
columns marched and around the tralus
which bore them to the camping ground at
Springfield.
The rczlmcnU which went to the front
were the First , Second and Seventh regi
ments of Infantry and the First cavalry.
Each regiment was recruited to Its full
streusth and carried besides a number of
recruits who will take the places ot such
men ns may bo compelled to drop out from
any cause.
For hours before the time ect for the
trorrs lo move the streets In front of their
armsiic * were jammed to such an extent
that made them absolutely Impassable to ve
hicles. At times the pressure was so great
that detachments from the regiments were
compelled to clear away the throngs from the
doorways of the armories.
When finally the regiments moved , < he
scene was such as to bring home to every
man hi the ranks tha fact that the hearts
o ! the people are with them. The cheers
drowned the music of the brass bands ; men
cr < - vcJea In upon the ranks to shake hands ,
defiance of all military rule , with the'de
parting coldlers ; many women clung to such
of the blue clad boys as they could lay
bunds upon , regardless of the fact that they
had ever beheld him until that Instant ;
and those people who could not reach the
rans ! cheered and waved haudkerchlefn and
flags.
Fully 5,000 pecple followed each of the
rpslinenl'j to the trains and nt the depots
the crowds proved a serious hindrance to
the movements of the men. No man who
ever went to war received a more enthusias
tic godspeed.
SAME THING AT DETROIT.
DETO01T , April 26. Never since the war
of the rebellion have such exciting and pa
triotic scenes been witnessed as were acted
today upon the departure of the state mllltla
for mobilization at tlio camping grounds at
Island Lake , fifty miles west of Detroit.
A crowd which hss not been equa'cd
since the Grcad Army cf the Ilcpubllc held
Its national encampment here witnessed1 the
dsparture of tde Fourth regiment from De
troit.
At Fort Hurco members ot the local
mllltla company were each presented with
a $5 gold piece and two of their offlcera with
The common council at Bay City plcdgsd

should have their positions kept for them.

CII1CKAMAUGA. Ga. , April 2(5. ( The entire -
tire Second regiment , four companies , from
Fort Kcogh , Mont. , two companies from
Fort Harrison , Moat. , and two companies
from Fort Yates , N , D. , went Into camp
dcre today after having remained In tbo
Chattanooga yards all night. The regiment
numbers 527 men , and Is In command of
Colonel I. C. Eatcs , who. It Is probable , will
bo given tde command cf the Second bri
gade of Infantry , ofblch his regiment late
to be made a part.
The first regiment of Inftntry from tan

battcrlea C and F , Thlnl artillery , from the
Presidio , Cal. , and Battery K of the First

are scheduled to arrive within tbo next
twenty-four hours. !
Major Sharp , chief commissariat of Gen
eral Brooke's staff , bas asked authority from
Wellington to establish a provision depot
In Chattanooga , su.h as the government hos
at St. Louis and other large cities. The
provisioning of nuch a large force of troopj
ea Is now githereJ at Culckanwigi park
renders It absolutely necessary to have thb
base cf supplies at a nearer point than St.
Louis , and It la expected that the authority
for the cctibllahtKcnt of Hie depot will be
granted at once. Major Starp has made bis
headquarters at the park and a local pur
chasing agent won placed ! n charge of lb
Chattanooga depot , which will buy the sup
plies necessary.
Hundreds of applications for- enlistment
In the regular service have bren made slnvo
the encampment of the troops at Chlck-
arr.auga , and It la the Intention to eatabllfti
a recruiting station at Chattanooga.
Opinions among army officers vary as to
the length of tltne troops will bo stationed at
the national park. Among those best In
formed tfio oplnlcn Is freely expressed that
no movement In the direction of Cuba will
bo made for two months at least and per
haps not before fall. The army reorganiza
tion bill will necessitate whipping Into army
discipline an extraordinary number of raw
men , at beet a tedious Job , but ono acces
sary before 'the forward movement beglun.
An by that time weather In Cuba would bo
total to Kio lauding of troops , It Is believed
by nuny that cnould the occupation of Cuba
by United States armed forcea be finally
decided on It will not bo ordered before
autumn.

-AFTER THH SPANISH SHU'S.
ttiiHod 4 < nten Will Mnkr nu Effort to
Capture Them.
CHICAGO , April 26. A special to the
Times-Herald from Wattilngton says : Navy
department officials confidently expect that
within three days a decisive battle will have
been fought between -the Spanish and Amer
ican forces operating In the Philippines.
It Is learned from o most reliable Miirce
that Commodore Uewcy's squadron , which
left Hong Kcng Saturday fcr Mlrs Bay , has
now left that place for the Philippines un
der Instructions sent several days ago by
Secretary Long. Steaming at the rate ot
ten knots an hour the Hoot ought to reach
Its de-stlnatlon by tills afternoon and It Is
expected by the department officials tha'
the vcraels will bo In action Immediately
nfter their arrival unless the Spanish men.
of-w r should prefer to remain Innldo the
mined harbors. Of primary Importance- , the
officials declare , Is the Immediate capture
or destruction of Spanish vessels. After
this has been accomplished It will not be
a difficult matter to oecure the fall ot Man
ila or Luzon nod ot other ports by sim
ply conducting o blockade surti as the North
Atlantis equadvon la doing with reference to
Cufcati perls. It Is understood that Commo
dore Dewey's plan of campaign contem
plates the capture or destruction' the
Spanish fleet. There arc six ot these cratt ,
none of which Is to be compared with the
protected cruisers ot the American squadron.
As Commodore Dewey has not a largo
squadron It IB appreciated that he will not
have sufficient vessels to carry on a blockade -
ado which will la.U any length ot time. He
will , however , blockade the principal ports
In which the Spanish troops are stationed
and the Insurgents In the bland will proba
bly give him assistance by contributing
their land operations.
Altogether naval experts eay Commodore
Dewoy'n task Is the easiest of those which
have been assigned to any flag officer. Upon
but cne point are the officials uneasy. Tills
relates to the continuance ot cable com
munication between Commodore Dewey and
the United States. There Is a Spanish ca
ble connecting Hong Kong and the Philip
pines , and It may be necessary to cut the
cable In order to prevent the Spanish force *
cabling their government the condition of
affairs on the Island. It Is appreciated on
Ido Island that ar Spain ean send no rein
forcement to the ecst , It will do the Span-
lards very little good to know what Is goIng -
Ing en In the far east , but foe prudential
reasons It Is expected Commodore Dewev
should hasten to get the came under his
control BS rapidly as possible.
It Is supposed at the department that he
hnu niRdp all necescary preparations to cut
the cable aud keep po&scroion ot the end
connecting him with Hong Kong and with
an operator on his ship he will be able to
communicate with the department aa much
aa necessary.

PIERRE , S. D. , April 2G. ( Special Telet

state from seven troops of cavalry to a regl-
merit of Infcatry insets with general satis
faction ot the National guard , as many of
them did not take kindly to the cavalry
service. Just when and where the troops
will bo assembled depends largely upon writ
ten orders HOT on the way 'from the War
department. In case no change Is made in
the preeeat plana the place of assembly will
be at Sioux Falls and the troops expect to
be on the road In a few days.
If the members of the guard were given

Lieutenant A. S. Frost of the Twenty-fifth
