Stamp 'I'm on Uommorcinl nnd Le gal 1'npari nnd Talegrnpli flloiingoi Nw York, April 21. A WnBhlnfrton special to the Commercial Advertiser says: The war tariff bill, upon which the Republican members of the Ways nnd Moans committco have been work ing, probably will le ready to report to the House on Saturday. It Is prac tically complete now. The deslsn of the bill In to ralao aJdltlouul revenue to the amount of at least $100,000,000 n year to meet the Increased expenses that will result from the war with Spain. The bill will also authorize the secretary of tho treasury to borrow JSOO.OOO.MO, or as much thereof iih niny lie necessary for war purposes. He Is uuthorlzed to sell, at not less than par, coupon or registered bonds of the United States lti such form as he may pre scribe and In denominations of $.",0 or borne multiple of that sum, redeemable In coin Bt the pleasure of the United 8?tatM after five years from the date of their Issue nnd payable twenty years lrom such date, and bearing Interest at 3 per cent. These bonds will be ex empt from taxes exactly the same as bonds already Issued. It Is provided that the bonds shall be llrst offered as a popular loan under such regulation, to bo prescribed by the secretary of the treasury, as will give opportunity to the citizens of the United States to partici pate In the subscription to the loan. Another section authorizes the secre tary of the treasury to borrow from time to time, at the market rate of In terest, not exceeding 3 per cent., such sums as In his Judgment may be neces sary to meet public expenditures, and to Issue therefor certificates of In debtedness In such form as he may prvscrlbe, and In denominations of K0 op some multiple of that sum. Kaeh certificate so Issued Is to be payable with accrued Interest at such time not exceeding one jenr fiom the date of Its Issue, as the secretary of the tieas ury may pteserlbe. The Issue of these certificates Is limited so that they shall at no time exceed $100,000,000. A TAX ON BERK. Of the $100,000,000 Increased revenue to be talsed $30,000,000 of it will come liom the Increased tax on beer. In the last tarlit' act the relate of 7,i cents on the dollar allowed on the tax on beer, because of alleged leakage, etc., v as abolished making the tax net $1 a liarrel. The 1)111 as now drawn makes the tax $- a barrel Doubling the tax on manufactured tobacco of all kinds will produce $15, 000,000 more. About $30,000,000 will be derived from the use of adhesive stamps, which will be imposed on stocks, bonds, bills of lading, express receipts, bank checks, proprietary med icines, bills of exchange or letters of credit, life, fire, marine and inland In surance policies, leases, custom house manifests, with a tonnage tax on any ship, vessel or steamer for n foreign port, mineral waters, nil transfers of real estate or other properly. rt.amship tickets to foreign ports, powers of at torney, perfumery and cosmetics and so on. tka and corrai. The hill at present provides for a tax of 3 cents on green coffee, and 4 cents when roasted, or otherwise prepared, nnd 10 cents a pound on tea. Hut the committee is endeavoring to Had oth er means of taxation, so as not to im pose taxes on tea and coffee. It has been considering a tax on crude petro leum, and also a tax on railroad tick ets and some other things. Hut the tax on tea and coffee may remain In the bill. Theie are severe penalties for nny at tempt at evasion from any of the taxes imposed by the law. Any person, eith er as nn owner, broker,' commission merchant or other agent, having any tea or coffee on hand must make a full return, under oath, according to regu lations prescribed, on or before the 10th day of the month succeeding that in which the act Is passed, at which date the tax will bo paid. TONNAfHC TAX. The bill imposes a tonnage tax In lieu of that lmnusoil In- tin. i...... ..r me which tax will bo as follows: "A duty ' in o cents per ton, not to exceed in the aggregate PC cents per ton in any one year, is hereby Imposed at each entry on all vessels which shall be entered In any port of the United States from any port or place In North America Central America, tub West Indies Islands, the Hahama Islands, the Iier miida Islands, or tho coast of South America bordering on the Caribbean sea, or the Hawaiian Islands or New foundland, nnd a duty of HO cents per ton, not to exceed f'AO per ton per annum. Is hereby Imposed at each en try on all vessels which shall i)0 enter ed In the United States from any other port; not, however, to Include vessels In distress or not engaged in trade." The tonnage tax, as imposed under the existing law, Is 3 cents a ton, not to exceed In the aggregate 15 cents per ton in nny one year at each entry, on vessels from any foreign port or place in North America, Central America etc., and a duty of c cents per ton. not to exceed 30 cents per ton per an num, on nil vessels from any other for eign port Tho Increased tax on beer, alo and other fermented liquors will npplv to all such liquors in existence at the time the bill becomes a law. The additional stamps will have to be put on all bar rels and packages, no matter whete found. This will prevent any swind ling of the government by withdraw als from bonded warehouses of these fermented liquors. In a similar way the lncreeaso or double tax on tobacco snuff, cigars and cigarettes win apply to all such articles "held and Intended for sale by nny person."' Iletnll deal ers will nil be liable to a fine If they do not Immediately put the additional stamps necessary on the passage of this law, on every box, or package of cigars In their possession. The tax on manufactured tobacco will bo 12 cents a pound, and upon cigars $ per thou wand, when they weigh three pounds or less. Four dollars per thousand Is Imposed on cigarettes weighing more than three pounds per thousand, and 92 on cigarettes weighing three pounds or less per thousand. The present In ternal revenue tax on cigars Is $3 when weighing not more than three pounds per thousand; hence the Incrense In the tax on that kind of clgura la $1 a thou sand. The tax under the existing law on cigars weighing threo pounds or less Is $1 a thousand, nnd wilt be $2 under the new law. There will bo a similar Incrense on cigarettes. MCKNS13 TAX. The committee has under considera tion a proposition to restore the llccnso tax on retail dealers In tobacco. This tax was taken oft In 1S90, and since that time the number of retail dealers In cigars nnd tobacco has Increased enormously. The committee will prob ably put a license tax of $2. DO on such dealers, which Is expected to produce a revenue of about $6,000,000 a year. The stamp tax provides that "on nnd after June 1, 1S0S. there shnll bo Im posed such taxes on bonds, debentures, certifies tes of stock, and other docu ments and instruments mentioned nnd described In the schedule hereunto an nexed, the sums of money set down in tho figures against the same." There Is a similar provision In regard to medicines and preparations men tioned In schedule. Heavy penalties are Imposed on any person who shall make, Blgn, Issue or cause to be made, signed or Issued any Instrument, document or paper of any kind or description what ever without tho same being duly stamped as provided for In this bill. Any bond, debenture, certificate of stock or certificate of Indebtedness Is sued In any foreign country must pay the same tax as Is required by law In similar instances, when Issued, sold or transferred In theUnited States. Bonds, debentures, or certificates of Indebted ness Issued by the United States gov ernment or by the ofllcers of nny state, county or municipal corporation, are to be exempt from the taxes Imposed by the act, under a provision that such londs and certificates must be Issued hv such authorities In the exercise only of functions strletlj Belonging to hem in theli ordMit.ry governmental and municipal capacities, stocks and bonds ISMitd by co-opemtlvj building asso ciations are extmpted Com taxation. TAX ON TKLEGHAMS. Among other taxes imposed Is one on telegraph messages. This section reads u- follows: "Any dl atch or message, the charge for which foi the first ten words dres not ecced twenty cents, one cent: when the charge for the first ten wirds exceeds twenty cents, three cents." Another section of the bill reads: "That on nnd after the date on which this bill shall take effect, no telegraph company, or Its agent or employe, shall receive from nny person or transmit to any person nnv dispatch or message without on adhesive stamp denoting the duty imposed by this net being nfllxed to a copy thereof, on a penalty of $100, provided that one stamp shah be required, whether sent through one or more companies." Tills proposed tax on telegraph dis patches will bear most heavily on the newspapers of the country. MR. SMITH HOMED. Named lor 1'ostniiMter-Uonerul to Succeed Crn, (Jury, Who Itenlgnrd on Account at III lloulth. Washington. April 21. The president today nominated Charles Emory Smith, of Philadelphia, to be postmnster gen eral, vice Gary, resigned. Postmnster General Gary resigned on account of in health. The Pennsyl vania senators were consulted before Mr. Smith's appointment was made. It is stated at the white house that Postmnster General Gary's resignation had absolutely nothing whatever to v '' ' lit' ' A TJggf CHAUI.ES EMOIJY SMITH, Tlio New Pthlmaster General. do with our present foreign complica tion, it is owing entirely, It is stated, to the condition of Mr. Gary's health. He has suffered a great deal of late from a general breaking down of the system, which had continued to pro gress until finally Mr Gary reluctantly reached the conclusion that he was un able longer to carry the burden of his ol.'lco. Charles Emory Smith, the new post master general, is at present editor of the I'lllladelnlila Press. He lias linen minister to Itussln. Is an earnest, active i iiepiiDllcan and known to nubllo men thioughoiit the United States. It was reported that Senator Qury was go ing to fight the confirmation, but ho told several senntors that such was not the case. Tho nomination was not recommended by him. and was wholly personaj with tho president. Tlie nomination of Mr. Smith was later In the day confirmed by the sen ate. The nomination of Hon. Charles Em ory Smith to be postmaster general was confirmed by the senate In executive session today without objection. The doors had no sooner closed on the executive session than Senator Gear, of tho postofllce commlttee.moved the confirmation of the nomination. Senator Quay then suggested that the nomination had not gone to committee and Senator Chandler moved to refer to the committee on postofllces. There wns no objection to this course, and the nomination was Immediately re ported back and acted upon forthwith, no opposition being made. THE ARMY'S HEADQUARTERS.

Nnvnl Appropriation Hill I I'rnc ticully Coinpleted--Honn Jlcport Uncle Army lt-Orcnuizatlon Hill with a Nn in tier ol Amendments. Washington, April 21. Three Import ant measures were passed by the sen ate this afternoon, all of which relate largely to the national defense. The sundry civil bill, which has been pend ing for two weeks, and which carries a largo amount of money Intended to lie used in the strengthening of the country's coast defenses, was finally passed. The nnval appropriation bill was Immediately taken up and practi cally completed, nlthough, pending the discussion of an amendment concerning the price of armor plate, the bill was displaced In order that the measure temporarily increasing the military es tablishment of the United States In time of war, might be considered. Af ter a long discussion of tho bill as amended by the committee, It was passed. A joint resolution wns adopt ed giving the president power to pre vent the exportation of coal nnd other war material. Just before adjournment it became known among senators on tho floor that Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, who has been III for several weeks, was dead. The formal announcement of his death was not made, but will be when the senate convenes tomorrow. Mr. Hawlev (Conn.), chairman of the military affairs committee, brought up the volunteer army bill which was con sidered by unanimous consent. The bill hns been fully described In these dispatches together with today's amendments by the senate military committee. Some other minor amendments were offered by Mr. Hawley and agreed to. Mr. Hacon fGa.) sugerested that the bill be so amended as to provide that no man In the militia service should be compelled to enlist by the vote of the company of wlilrh be is a member. Mr. Ilnwley explained that nobody could be enforced to enlist as a volun teer in the service of the United States nnd theie would be no practical dlfii culty In carrying into efieet the pro visions of the bill. He further explain ed that no member of n. military organ ization could bo forced to go out of the country to perform set vice unless he should volunteer for such service. Mr. Vet tus (Ala.) explained that the matter suggested by Mr. Hacon would be arranged by the governors of "tates All of the militiamen would not, of course, volunteer for service. No Indi vidual company or regiment would be compelled to enter the service although tho gient body of them would doubt less olunteer for the service. Mr. Sewell (N. J.) paid a high tribute to the state militia organizations as very efficient, well armed and .veil equipped soldiers. The service of these soldiers the wnr depaitment was an xious to secure at once. The call would bo made upon the governors of states for troops. They would make the call for volunteers and would fill up com panies and regiments lieforo offering them as volunteers to tho government. Mr. Eaulkner (W. Va.) said that the militia organizations throughout tho country thoroughly understood the mat ter as they had been in communica tion with the war department concern ing It. Every member of the national guard understood that he could not lie forced to enlist In the United States service. The hill, after an extended discus sion, was passed. IN THE HOUSE. Representative Hull, of Iowa, chair man of the house committee on mili tia affairs, reported back to the house today the army re-organlzatlon bill, with a number of amendments. It gives S4 Instead of 100 privates to each Infantry company, and makes this Im portant proviso, authorizing tho coll for troops: "Provided, that In tho event of a call by the president for either volunteers or the militia of tho country, the president Is authorized to accept the quotas of troops of tho various states and territories Including the District of Columbia, as organized un der the laws of the states and terri tories, Including tho District of Colum bia." There Is also a provision that noth ing In- the act Is to be construed to authorize a permanent Increase of the commissioned or enlisted force of the regular nrmy beyond that now provid ed by present law, except as to the in crease of 25 majors. Tin committee says, as now presented, the bill author izes the 23 regiments of Infantry to be recruited up to a total of 31,800 en listed men. the recruitment of the ten cavalry regiments to 12.000 enlisted men, the seven regiments of artillery to a total of 1C.457 men, and the en gineer battalion of flvo companies to 7r2 enlisted men, mnftlng tho total maximum strength 61.010 enlisted men. The military committee was In session during the day. going over the bill. Chairman Hull I; anxious to secure speedy notion In the house tomorrow. CUBA AND THE WEST IND1MS. IRON AND STEI:L A1ARKET. It Is Not AflecUd to Any Groat Km out by Wnr Talk. Pittsburg, April 21. The American Manufacturer, In Its weekly trade re view, will say tomorrow: "Nothing especlnlly new Is shown in the Iron and steel market at nny point this week. The wor cloud Is blacker than It wns last week, and fears of In ternational trouble are showing more effect on the market. It Is the prevail lng opinion that something decisive, whether It be for war or peace, will cause Increased nctlvlty in the trade. As was tho case last week, the war talk is having its greatest effect in the eastern market, although nt Now York there is something of a recovery In the trade. Now enterprises are still being held back. The foundries nre melting a fnlr amount of Iron. Manufactured Iron Is slow and large orders for struc tural steel are still held pending the present outcome. At Philadelphia the bar Iron trade Is slow, but sheets and roofing material nre In fair demand. Quite a good business in plates and tank material Is being done. Chicago reports a fair Inquiry In a general way for delivery during the coming year, and some lonsr time contracts are be ing made. Pig Iron shows more activ ity, as one sale of 10,000 tons of char coal Iron Is reported. Northern pig is being taken up as fast as It Is made, and prices are holding well. Quite a lot of work In the car building line Is being done nnd structural material Is active. At Cincinnati tho pig Iron trade Is dull. There are rumors of big plate contracts about to be placed for the government. The city this week placed a contract for cast Iron pipe at $14.7." per ton, which is the lowest figure ever reached, as a few years ago the same class of pipe was paid for at $2.'!. Tho demand for skelp Is good. At Wheel ing trade conditions remain unchanged. In the Cleveland market the agreement is holding pig iron prices steady. Ship building work Is making n fair de mand for structural material. Other branches of the trade remain without change." POWERS AROUSED. England nnd Crrranny Will Object to Spain's I'rlTateeriiiK Kclmoici If Tlmr I'eriint in tho Pulley. Washington, April 21. There are strong indications that if the Spanish government persists in tho present an nounced policy of commissioning pri vateers to prey on commerce, effective Influences will be brought to bear upon her by several of the great commercial powers, particularly Great Hritaln and Germany, to stop this privateering or to make it practically Ineffective and harmless. The action of the United States government in declaring that it would not resort to privateering has been received with great satisfaction In tho foreign embassies and legations here. Negotiations along this lino which had been pending here for some time, are now shifted to Madrid, where the Hritlsh charge d'affaires Is making strong representations to Premier Sa gastu to prevent privateering. Whether this will be conceded by Spain is doubtful, ns her chief reliance for protracting a war Is through com missioning privateers to harass Amer ican merchant ships or neutral ships carrying American goods. Hut it lias developed that this course by Spain, while nominally directed against the United States, would operate much more Injury ngnlnst the shipping of Great Hritaln, Germany and the other commercial powers, as the bulk of com merce to and from this country is car ried In foreign ships. Rritisli ships, It Is estimnted, enrry SO per cent, of tho commerce between the United States and Great Hritaln, while German and French merchant ships also handle considerable portions of the trade. This has given the powers a material inter est against privnteerlng, which would subject to search and seizure any of their ships carrying American goods. These Interests are so groat that It Is regarded as certain in the best posted diplomatic quarters that If Spain does noe relinquish privateering voluntarily she will practice It at her peril as against Great Hritaln, Germany nnd possibly some other powers. AT FOlrniONROE. Intense Rxcltcnmnt FrcvniU About lliu rij-lnc Kiiinilroti-.Milps ,r Koiiilv to Sail. Port Monroe. Vn., April 21. Uegln nlnu with the reception of the llrst news bulletin from Washington today, Intense excitement prevailed here, both on shore and nmoiipr tho olllcers nnd men of the llylnir Hquadron. Tho olllcers who came ashore In tho afternoon were notified that they must report on board at 10 o'cIock nt the latest and that no nil night shore leiiVM would be granted. The olllcers of the Massachusetts were told that they must report at 5.30 o'clock on board when leave might bo granted for a few hours to seo friends. These two orders led to nil sorts of rumors. At the hotels where mnny of the of ficers' wives are staying there was great consternation, It being believed that the squadron would sail before morning. At 4 o'clock nfter the receipt of th Associated Press bulletin that the Spanish believed tho ultimatum to bo a declaration of war, Commodore Schley signalled from tho Brooklyn for all engines to be coupled. In port ships engines are uncoupled nnd are not usually coupled until nt sea- Arrange ments were made for the telegraph sta tions on shore to remain open all night to receive dispatches. Despite tho strain on nil nerves tonight, men and officers are enthusiastic to a degree and this was demonstrated when the torpedo boat Hodgers stopped by the Brooklyn on her way out to Join the Key West squadron to ask permission of Commodore Schley to proceed. The men flocked to the forecastles of the vessels and cheered heartily. The Hodgers went out of Hampton Itoads at full speed. The colliers assigned to this squad ron, Merrlmac nnd the Saturn, are not yet quite ready, but may be In a day. Tho hospital boat Is still In the hands of the ship builders being converted nnd cannot be rendy with a crew for several days. STUDENTS WILL ENLISF.
