principal gains were $6,590,400 In tlio United

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. The secrotorv of
wnr hns cabled Instructions to Major Gen
eral MacArthur nt Manila to begin the
work of returning tho volunteer troops from
tho Philippines In order to permit of their
dlschnrgo In this country by Juno 30 next.
This notion hns been taken In anticipation
of tho authorization by congress of the en
listment of regular regiments to replaco tho
recnllcd troops. -Plans for the organization
of tho proposed now regiments havo been
perfected nt tho War department nnd com
plete nrrnngemonts made for their epeedy
recruitment and equipment. Action In this
matter waits only tho approval of congress.
It Is hoped by tho secretary of war and
tho military authorities that tho bill for
tho reorganization of the nrmy now bo-
fore tho senate will boiorae a law before
congress takes a reccBS for tho holidays, on
December 31. Tho officials make no secret
of their great concern over tho existing
situation and sny that the failure of con
gress to take Immediate action for Its re
lief undoubtedly will result In comddera
blo embarrassment to tho government nnd
seriously retard tho execution of tho ad
ministration's policy for tho establishment
of nn efficient and Btnblo government In

In Itejretrd.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. Tho house to
day adjourned without disposing of more
than half tho wnr revenue reduction bin.
General debate cloned at 2 o'clock, after
which tho bill was opened to amendments
under tho nvo-mlnuto rule. A determined
effort was mado to reduce attll further tho
tax on beer below tho committee rnto,pf
$1.60 n barrel, but the ways and means
committee overwhelmed tho apposition.
Tho committee, however, sustained two
signal defeats. In connection with tho
beer tax Mr. Payne offered an nmundment
In tho language of tho bill passed by tho
houso lust session designed to nbolUh tho
use of small beer packages one-sixteenth
and ono'Clghth barrels, but It was defeated
by 85 to 94, after charges that Its purpose
was to crush out tho small brewers. An
other defeat occurod In connection with the
amendment ofTcred by Henry C. Smith of
Michigan. The bill abolished tho one-cent
stamp tax on express receipts and tele
graph messages, but retained the tax on
railroad and steamship freight receipts.
Mr. Smith's amendment restored tlio tax
on express receipts nnd altered the form of
the section so as to compel tho company
Instead of tho shipper (o pay tho tax. The
amendment precipitated a lively debate In
tho course cf which Mr. Smith made a
personal allusion to a United States sena
tor, who Is connected with ono of tho ex
press companies. Mr. Pnyno vigorously
fought tho amendment, but It was carried.
123 to 106.
Text of tli Amendment.
The text of tho amendment Is as follows:
"Express nnd freight: It shall be tho
duty of every railroad or steambont com
pany, carrier, express company or corpora
tion, or person whoso occupation 1b to act
as such, to make within the first llftcen
days of each month a sworn statement to
tbo collector of Internal revenue In each
of their respective districts, stating the
number of shipments received for carriage
and transporutlon, whether In bulk or In
boxes, bales, packages, bundles, or not so
inclosed or Included, for which any charges
whatsoever has been made, and for which
such shipments received for cnrrlago and
transportation tho said railroad or steam
boat company, carrier, express company, or
corporation or person whose occupation It
Is to net as such, shall pay a tax of 1
cent on bundles or packages of nowspapors
when Inclosed In ono general bundle at tho
time of shipment."
Mr. Maddox of Georgia, the first spoaker
today, produced figures to show that the
$88,000,00 surplus which existed when Mr.
Harrison enmo Into office In 1889, was dissi
pated during the letter's terra and said that
a deficit confronted tho second Cleveland
administration when It resumed control In
1S93. Mr. Maddox warned the republicans
that under their policy thcro would be as
great n necessity for a standing war fund
as for a standing army of 100,000. IIo prided
himself on tho fact that ho waB ono of tho
men who .had consistently opposed the
Spanish war.
Mr. Otey of Virginia, In a characteristic
speech, made itn .npneat for a, further re
duction, of (he '''pppressljq taxj.on 'tobacco."
He said that 980,000,000 porEons used to
bacco; 400,000,000 used coffco; 450,000,000
used opium and 100,000,000 used tea. Exact
statistics on tho users of whisky, ho said.
he did not have. But It was beyond con
troversy that tobacco was the solace of
tho world.
Mr. Lewis of Georgia protected that tho
bill did not go far enough, and Mr. Sulzer
of New York denounced tho republicans for
not repealing tho wholo act, as they had
promised to repeal It as soon as tho war
was over. Ho was particularly Insistent In
demanding tho total repeal of tho addi
tional tax upon beer.
Dnlzell IWrniU Bill.
Mr. Gaines of Tennessee concluded tile
general debate for his Bide of tho house.
Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania 'closed for tho
republicans with a comprehensive Bpccch
of nn hour.
The war rovenuo act, ho said, was placed
upon tho statute books to meet war ex
penditures. It wns not limited by time,
becnuso war always brings with It a train
of extraordinary expenditures, which do
not terminate with the close of actual
hostilities. A cut of $40,000,000, he argued,
was the extreme limit consistent with
safety, and ho Bald that in making tho re
ductions the ways nnd means committee
had mado wIbo selections.
Those who sought tho total repeal of tho
war taxes, ho sold, seemed to forget tho
extraordinary expenses that might havo to
bo met In 1902. They mado no provision for
a river and harbor bill, for big armor plato
contracts, for subsidies for tho merchant
marine, If tho bill pending In the senate
should paen, for the construction of tha
Nicaragua cnnnl, nnd for tho possibility
that tho supremo court might dccldo that
the constitution followed thn (lag. In which
caso the United States would havo to re
fund nil duties collected In tho ports of
Potro Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.
Better n surplus, ho said, than a deflolt.
In his opinion it wero better not to havo
gone boyond the $30,000,000 cut recom
mended by the secretnry of tho treasury.
Ho said tho $10,000,000 reduction on beer
had been mado ns a concession to members
on the floor, u would, ho said, bo unsafe
to reduce that tax another dollar.

Mr Payne, chairman of the ways and means
committee, from the committee, offered nn
amendment to make tho tax $1.60 a barrel
flat, Instead of a discount of 20' per cent,
as orlglnnlly drawn.
Mr. Nowlands of Nevnda offered an
amendment to reduce tho tax to $1.20 a
barrel. Ho urged that the tax on beer
could be reduced and the tnxos on tho ac
cumulated wealth of tho country, for the
first tlmo placed under contribution, could
be retained.
Mr. Pnyne opposed Iho Ncwlands' amend
ment, which, ho sold, would mako n re
duction of $26,000,000 on beer, or n total
reduction of $56,000,000. Such a reduction,
he said, would necessarily create n deficit.
Mr. Ncwlands' amendment was lost, 60 to

Mr. Barthold offered nn amendment rank

Mr. Allen of Mississippi mndo a short and
witty Bpcech, closing, he said, his "gnat

to the need of keeping up Inxntton nnd

by describing a walk in tho fashionable
quarters of Washington and finding the
palatial residences occupied by brewers.
He opposed any further reduction of tho
beer tax.
Mr. Barthold nnd Mr. Fitzgerald of Mass
achusetts spoko In favor of tho amendment,
which wns defeated, 60 to 139.
Mr. Sulzer of New York charged that the
republicans had obtained a large campaign
fund from the brewers upon a pledge to
repeal tho $1 additional upon beer. They
had been false to tholr promise and he pre
dicted thht tho (brokers would rcpudlato
them at the next election.
Tho Pnyno amendment fixing tho tax nt
$1.60 a barrel was then adopted without

Mr. Stewart of New York offered nn
nmendmcnt providing that unless the beer

Mr. Payne then offered ns nn amendment

Ho said It abolished one-sixth nnd one

promise by which tho big brewers agreed
to ncccpt tho reduction to $1.60 bnrrel
provldod this nmendmcnt wns placed In tho

Mr. Barney nnd Mr. Davidson of Wiscon

thnt the amendment was In the Interest of

Mr. II. C. Stnltii of Michigan, offered an
amondment to roqulro a tax of 1 cent upon
express receipts, with a provision designed
to compel the express companies to pay
tho tax. Mr. Smith charged that express
and telegraph companies had been un
patriotic in refusing to bear tholr share
of tho war taxes by compelling their cus
tomers to pay tho tax. lie mado n direct

treaty. No business of Importance was
transacted In tho brief open session, except
the adoption of tho house resolution pro
viding for n holiday recess to extend from
Friday, December 21, to Thursday, January
3. "n.
Pending a motion by Mr, Lodge that tho
senate proceed to thfl consideration of ex
ecutive business u brief contention was
precipitated over the Montana senator case.
Mr. Jones ot Arkansas nnnounccd that ho
had been directed by the committee on
contingent expenses of nn investigation of
the claims of William A. Clarl; and Martin
Maglnuls to a scat In the sennto under
appointment of tbo governor of Montana,
that tho matter be referred to tho com
mittee on privileges and olnctlons, as It
had not como from a standing committee.
Mr. Chandler, tho chairman of that com
mittee, Immediately reported it back to
tho senate and asked for Its adoption. This
wns objected to on technical grounds, but
tho resolution flu.illy was referred to the
commltteo on contingent expenHes. The
senate then, nt 12:50 p. ra.. went Into
executive session upon tho Hay-Pauncefoe
treaty, nnd at 4:50 p. 111. adjourned until
tomorrow,
Xo liny Set for Vote on Trenty.
Aftor reporting to tho senate In execu
tlvo eetslon todny thn now amendments to
the Hny-Pnuncefoto treaty as mado by the
committee on foreign relations. Senator
t.odgo made nn effort to havo n day set for
the taking of n vote upon tht treaty. Ho
suggested next Thursday ns the generally
acceptnbla time, but Senator Mason first
mado objection nnd when ho withdrew It
Senator Money suggested that Senator Mor
gan had given notice that he would nsk
tint the vote upon tho trenty uliotild bo
postponed until u voto cnuld bo secured upon
tho Nlcnragua canal bill.
Smator Morgan, however, stited that he
was not disposed to make that contention
any longer becaaso be did not wish In do
anything which would lead Great Britain
to think that this country desires to take
a threatening position.
Senntor Butler then suggested the fixing
of a tlmo for a vote.
Senator Lodge suld' that In view of the
position taken hu would Impress upon the
attention of the senato early nnd lato un
til the vole could bo had nnd later do
cllnid to mo'vo nn adjournment from today
to Monday because of jlho refusal to al
low a day to bo named for a vote. ,
t'lilhi-rnon Want Hepburn BUI Panned
Aside from theso Incidents and the re
porting of the new amendments suggested
by tho committee on foreign relations the
proceedings of today consisted wholly of
specchranklng, tho speakers being Senators
Culberson, Spooner, Lindsay, McCumbtr and
Klklns.
Senator Culberson spoko for the adoption
of tactics slmllnr to those outlined by the
Money resolution, which provides for the
nbrogatlon of tho Ciayton-Bulwer trenty
by diplomatic methods. He said ho wns
opposed lo proceeding by piecemeal to get
rid of a compact so objectionable to Ameri
can Ideas ns tho Clayton-Dulwcr treaty
Is. He thought it entirely competent for
this country to pass tho Hepburn cnnnl bill
nnd proceed with the canal regardless of
all treaties either in force or pending.
Senator Spooner combated the nrgu
mcntrt of Mr. Culberson. He sold he fa
vored tho canal and believed the United
Stales should havo the right to fortify
and defend It, but could not ncccpt tho
view thnt wo should proceed In that great
work In total disregard of tho agreement
of 1850. Great Britain, In; said, Is n
friendly power nnd ho would not consent
to any ruthleAi proceedings, hut he
would go at Iho work of propnrlng for the
construction In a way which would receive
tho support of tho people. Ho was, there
fore, an ndvocato of the pending negoti
ations. Great Britain on threo different
occasions had rpproached this country to
sccuro tho abrogation of tho Clayton
Bulwor trcat, but upon each occasion the
United Stntcs had declined tho overture.
True, tho proposition had been ncted upon
by the Stnto department without consult
ing congress, but nt any rate tho Incidents
nt least Indicated the English nttltudo
upon tho question of nbrogatlon.
I.liiilsny Oioen Amendment.
Senator Lindsay spoko for tho ratifica
tion of the treaty without further amend
ment. Ho said thnt ho had even opposed
the commltteo's amendment ndoptcd yes
terday, becuuso to his mind tho amend
men Is n concession to Great Britain, which
It Is unnecessary to make. "It concedes,''
he said, "that without the amendment
Great Brltnln would hnvo the right to pass
ships through the cannl In time of wnr, and
I am not willing to have the United States
take that position. I think tho treaty
would havo been stronger without the
nmendmcnt."
Mr. Lindsay also nnnounccd bin willing
ness to treat with Great Brtlnlu for the
total abrogation of the Ciayton-llulwel
treaty.
Senator McCumbor also favored ratifica
tion of tho treaty without amendment.
Senator Elklns repented the views ex
pressed by him yesterday for absolutely In
dependent nctlon In tho construction of
tho cannl nnd In thn operations of the
United .Stntes In Central Amfttlcn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. Nothing Is

tho president to mako Buch a chnngo In tho
personnel of tho United Stntcs legation
nt Madrid as would bo Involved In tho np
polntment of Volney W. Foster of Illinois

It Is said that Mr. Foster was one of tho
original aspirants for the Spanish mission
when Mr. Storer was appointed and It Is
not known that he has renewed his efforts
to secure tho plnco since the president
acted. So far as Mr. Storer Is concerned
It Is stated positively that nothing but his
own determination would cnuso him to bo
relieved. IIo Is now engaged In tho fabrica
tion of u number of treaties between the
United States and Spnln lo take tho placo
Of the: convrntlolw nbrogated by tho Span-Ish-Aincrlcnn
war. Tho tnsk has been ono
of grent delicacy nnd difficulty, but Mr.
Storer has progressed remarkably well nnd
It Is sold that tho present would be a very
Inopportune moment to Interrupt tho work.
