WASHINGTON , April 29. The house to. day passed the war revenue bill , with only the amendmtata agreed upon by the re publican members of the ways and mcana committee addc-d. In order to accomplish th'a ' a parliamen tary maneuver was necessary , as the whole time for amctidmants was exhnustel by the minority In trying to amend the bond fea ture of tiie bill. 'Mr. IMnglcy offered aa a substitute nn en tirely now bill containing thcae amendments , after the bill liid been reported to the house. This was an old parliamentary trick freely TesortoJ to yearn ago. The Morrlll tariff law was passed In th's way Iri Its original form , after It had been loaded down with amendments In committee of the whole. Many amendments were offered to the bond ( feature of the bill ranging from a proposi tion for the substitution of M Income tax provision to an authorization for an Issue of $150,000,000 In .greenbacks , but all were voted down. At the last minute the democrats decided to offer a motion to commit , with Instructions to report back the Income tax appropriate * ) on nn amendment Instead of a substitute to tie ! bond provision. This was due to the fact that a number of democrats had de clined to vote to strike out the bond pro. , /vltlon. The motion was defeated. Four ro- l > ubllear.3 voted with the democrats anJ pop- Tillsts ca this vote. Hut on the final paseage of the bill , which was carried , 181 to 131 , the democrats aim populists , with six exceptions , voted solidly against. It. The democrats .who voted for the bill were : aiessrs. Cummin ; * , . .McClellan and Grlgps ( N. y , ) . Fitzgerald ( Mass. ) , ' .McAlcer ( Pa. ) an JWheoler ( Ala. ) . Two republicans , Olcsjrs. Llnncy ( N. C , ) and Thorp ( Va. ) voted with the opposition. Quito a dumber of democrats declined to vote. The house convened nt 10 o'clock thh morning to allow two hours more of general debate on the wur revcuuo bill before It wen tnkeu up at noon for amendment under the flve-ininuto rule. 'Mr. Illaad ( dcm. , .Mo. ) discussed the bonj ( feature of the bill , to which he said the democrats couU never agree. They could not agree to the of " " Italic any mrc "coin" ihonds , which would be construed under a republican administration to mean nothing tut gold , So Icn , ? as the mi-Ms were closed to the coinage of cue-half the money metal of the world , the democrats only under cir cumstances of extreme stress coulJ consent to the Ustie of such bonds. He argued the advisability of the Immediate coinage of the liver seigniorage. . IT MAY PUOVE I3CONOMY. Mr. Nowlrnc'fl ( all. rep. , Nev. ) argued that the war would be cor.itlned to the navies of Swln nnd the United State. . ' , and that Its duration would dcpJnd upon how long Spain could ma'ataln upon , the sea the gucrlll.i warfare It hail beoa-ftccuatomed to wage on land. He thought'tbo war should be vigor ously prcsecuted , and -apparent extrava gance now might prove economy In the end. Hy the teriruj of the bill two-thirds of the ' taxes were to be laid upon consumption , and ona-thlrd upca the current transactions of liudno'ii. Not a dcllar was to be'falscd from the accumulated wealth o : the country. Thin w. ii ur.Ia'r ' , ho il < Jf Mr. GrewcMrrep. ( . , 0. } eafd nt such a crisis as thla there jvere , aa Stephen A.

Ho aa willing to 'accept the sugiTtatloiis emanating from the democratic side , however wild or Impractl- . cable , in good faith. Ho would not imp or even suspect a lack of patriotism. Mr. Grcsvcivar then proceeded to criticise fomo of thcoe suggestions. Speaking of the tor , ! feature , he declared that the bond. ! would be taken by the people of the country not only as a praltable Investment , but nil evidence to the world that thla country pro poses to free Cuba In the face of Spa ! ? ) , Austria , or any other nation that saw fll ta Interfere , The other speakers before noon were Men- t'ra. CurtU ( rep. , Kan. ) , Shafroth ( ell. Colo. ) and Brown ( rep. , O. ) In the afternoon , under the order , the bit woa take up for amuidment under the flve- mlnute rule. Under the arrangement made the bond sections of the bill were first to be open to amendment. OFFERS THE INCOME TAX. Mr. McMIllIn ( dcm. , Tenn. ) offered cm be half of the minority the amcnlmcnt to atrlko out section twenty-seven , the bond provision and Insert Iii lieu thereof the Income tas amendment. It wan Identical with the la- come tax provision of the Wilson tariff law with the taxable Income reduced from ( $4,000 to $2,000 jier annum and the per colt Increased from 2 to 3. 'Mr. ' Walker ( rep , , iMasa. ) offered as an ' amendment to the original section a propcslj j * tton to change the terms of the bonds so as . to make them redeemable ono year after > j | the date of their issue , and payable after : I three years aud upon the expiration cf seven years , or duo m a certain day within three : ' years , as the aecrctar/ the treasury might elect. i.Mr. Walker declared that his amend- mt-U nould nave the people from $20,000,000 to $30,000.000. 'Mr. Ilcrry ( dcm. , Ky. ) called attention to : the remarkable coincidence that by this bill it was proposed to Issue $500,000.000 , the amount which Secretary Gage had rocom-1 i wcmloil fcr the purpose of redeeming the greenbacks , I There ad no necessity for such an enor mous low i.

This was a day is ot alarming rumors , running all the way from the blowing up of a big monitor , to the detection and punishment ot traitors , but fortunately all of them turned out , on lu- qulry , to be without foundation. , , Actual events of importance were fewvin ' numbers. Tbc most Interesting feature wan . the departure from Cape Verde'of the Span ish fleet , the stay of which at St. Vincent has been a source of anxiety on the part of the officials , because it seemed to Indicate the of sympathy Portugal for S aln might lead to wink at a violation ol 'neutrality ' laws in favor of Spain. Late ta the afternoon a cablegram came to It the State department from Cape Verde , bearIng - Ing no signature , announcing that four tat- of tleshlps and three torpedo boats had started nortti , and some of the transports for Cuba , end that the northern fleet returned shortly , having been In collision. Captain Sampson sent a telegram relative { ; towa the firing at the Matanzas forts , but it for was disappointingly lacking In detail , The few words contained in the dispatch .went . . . . . . . . . , . . * towa confirm the official view that the affair was nothing more than a naval reconnols- I Bance. : No news came today from Admiral Dewcy'i squadron now In the Philippines to do bat tie with the Spanish fleet. One officer pointed out today that If Admiral Dewey succeeded In defeating the Spanish fleet the Spanish officials who control the cable con- nectln : the island with the rest of the world In all nrobablllty may suppress the news , or distort the facts into a Spanish EJ victory. Presuming that the admiral Is bound direct rect- ! for Manila , tbo calculation made at ths Navy deiwrtraont shows ho will arrive about 2 o'clock Saturday morning , Manila time , which is about twelve hours earlier than our own. The pressure continues unabated on the War department for changce lo the plans already announced as to mobilization of the volunteer troops , and very much against Ita will and judgment Uie department Is making some concessions In Ibis matter. A large number of callers are bringing forward candidates for the many plumj within the gift ot the president , and Secre tary Alger in the shape of appointments to graded above regimental la the army.

These who have entertained the opinion that state troops of .Nebraska could bo mus tered into the -service of the United States in a few minutes' * , mad who have talked about tho'comploto transfer of llio National Guard of the state aa a matter that could be easily consummated within a day are undeceive ] when they inquire of experienced army offi cers of the modus operandl of musterkig lu * tate troops to government service. lAs explained by an officer of the Departr'r ment of the ( Missouri to The Bee yesterday the first important work to bo done under the direction Of the -mustering officer ap- polntci by the War 'department In this state ciow Lieutenant Stotaenberg , Is the complla- tlon ot a mustering roll. This roll will be taken by companies. It will bo taken In triplicate form. Ono copy of the mustering ro of each company Is to bo retained by th captain ot that company , and the other two copies are to be forwarded to the War department at AVashlngton. In the mustering roll there will ho a com plete < record ot each man mustered In from the state troops to government service. It 'Will ' Include a physical dCHcrlptlon ot each S , giving his height , weight , color of hair I and color of eyes. It will also state the time cf his enlistment fa the government ' service , and mention his previous service , It Ian . In addition to the mustering roll ot each company there will also be takco a headquarters roll , giving similar facts conj j cernlng the men employed at the headquar- I tors : of the state troops. In the work of .compiling these triplicate rolls Lieutenant Stotsenberg . will have the assistance of a number of clerks. If he Is so fortunate as to secure the services of experienced army clerks < , the -work will he expedited , but at the best It Is calculated that It wilt take a week ( or more to make out all the required rolls. U IEl3 OF THE ROLLS. 'By i the aid of these rolls a complete rec- orJ of each man accepted for the service Is kept at the War department lo Washlng- ton. ( If he is shot , It he Is Injured In an ) " way. If ho Is taken ill , If 'ho performs any particularly meritorious deed In action , or if he deserts , as none of the .Nebraska boys will | , such fact" will bonoted In his per sonal record at the War department In re ports from the officers under whom he serves. The rolls made out at the time of mustering form the start for the recods of the mer that will be kept throughout the war. a Dasei on these rolls the government will be [ able to finally decide all pension cases. Such a plan of keeping records was partially employed durlog the 'War of the rebellion , but the plcn .was . adopted too late In the . , . , war to make the system anywhere nearly perfect. It Is on account of the leek of information - formation In the rolls of the companies that served during that war that so many pension wrwgs have been perpetrated en the j " government , but army officers are confident . " that , : with a careful start en the mustering | " rolls ; anJ with the exactness that will follow-1 their keeping deception regard'n ; ? the servflni { ices of any man will be- well olgh Impassible. | " - . In addition to the clerical work Just men-j " tloned , , the task of making physical exam"l Inatlons of all the men In the National guard I of ; the state Is one that Is not to be Judged | i ' . lightly J , , regarding either quality or quantity $ of . work. The task ( s especially long on quantity , as each man will , bo examined by to the urgeon appointed for that purpose. Dr. I " J. ! B. Summers , Jr. , of Omaha has bennl j named by the state as the surgeon who a will conduct the examination of the soldiers J1" of Nebraska and there is no doubt but -that P his ! | verdict In all cases will be accepted by j I Ir the j govprnment. i I < ; If.the plan of procedure Is anything llkot that followed In mustering In the men for j G ttol " civil war , the surgeon will take a lot ol a , dozen or fifteen mm at a time fori 1 physical examination. Three adjoining tents or' three communicating rooms may be used i maIn 01Ir the first will be a squad of men In waitma 1 Inm , and whUd In this room they will strip sig naked and eacto man will carry his clothes - with him. They will then go In the second i tent , or room , as , the case may be , and will there meet the examining surgeon and his ! assistants. ! Each man will be looked over an and tho&eSio are plainly of sound health me and apparently physically able to stand the an rigors of camp life and forced marches will 1m be at or.ce sent Into tbo third room. There j they will put on their clothes and rejoin their mi ranks. The men wfto appear to have some bri physical weakness or debility will be dccu | talncd In the second room and subjected to more thorough examination by tbo surWl geon. , Ion NOT ALL WILti PASS. pa Some of thise may bo finally passed on as Bound , but others will bo decarej : physl- 1 tin cally unfitted for the military service of the j i cus government' ' and will therefore be thrown an out. U may be pretty trying on the grit MO j these young mento give up going with ' ani 'their companies after having left liomc amid . . shouts of loud acclaim and many pathetic godspeeds < , but there will be no recoursa I I . , for theru. If the f E surgeon says they are not | physically ] able to endure the hardships of i army Jlfo they will not have any chance otj I having his opinion reversed. It may bo no j Po fault oftheirs , and none will question their , pa patriotic ; spirit , but when turned down by , , j the examining surgeon they might as well | j -c" ) ( return home and thank the sister and the , other fellow's sister for the flowers presented - I " * sented to him on his departure. 1 I of . It Is estimated that out of the volunteers I , , " who responded to the first call of President pai Lincoln only 60 per cent were accepted. As c-xi l the war wont along and the demand for men nt became'more accentuated the physical ex aminations were conducted with less severity and many men who were thrown out on the from first examination passed on 'tho ' second trial. !

"Whllo living at Trinidad , Colo. , my wife decided to take Hood's Sarsaparllla. I am pleased to say It gave tier relief at once , the lumps and spots disappearing and not returning again for come months. "A year ago the trouble broke out anew , appearing In a more violent form. The red spots broke out In sere * . I concluded that my wife would be a cripple. We were much discouraged , for the affliction had tiow troubled her for yearn and she was worse tlmato the percentage among the Nebraska troops from 70 to 90. Mojt of the com panies In the state require fairly stiff ext amlnatlons ot their recruits before admit ting them. Moreover the young men of Nebraska , as a whole are regarded aa a italwart , sturdy lot of young men , the great majority ot whom will easily pass any phys ical examination. But there will bo some who fall and they nro not to bo envied when told ICicy cannot , go to tbo front. The men. who will be accepted by the gov ernment must be between the ages of IB and 35 year * . These who are uider age iiiiut iho\v \ to the mui'tcrlng officer a letter of consent from their parents before they will be accepted. All the conditions re quited of applicants for the regular army will bo adhereJ to In mustering In the state troops , except that the phyalcul examination U not likely to be ro exacting. During the last few ytaru It has been a very well built man who could become ono ot Uncle Sum's soldlets , hut now that the urmy Is to be greatly Increased the phjslcal examinations are bound to be less severe.
