Cuban Inva- : Senate. sion Will Bogia. ad ' Are Becoming More Reconciled : They MR. DANIEL FOR AN INCOME TAX @ the Detay—Changes in Ways of Raising Funds for the War. BEARING THE EXPENSE After the transaction this morning of some routine business, the Senate resumed consideration of the war revenue measure. Only a dozen senators wer: present, and Mr. Cullom (iI) noted the absence ef « quorum. After a delay of ten minutes only thirty-two senators had answered to their names on roll call, and at the instance of Mr. Allison (iowa) the serg2ant-at-arms was Instructed to request the attendance of absent senators. It required twenty-five minutes to secure a quorum. When a majority of senators had respond-. 2d to their names, Bir. Allison said he hoped a vote could now be secured om the corporation tax proposition. The question was cn the amendment offered by Mr. Gor man (Md.), which provided for a special ex- cise tax upon all corporations, whose gross receipts ar: more than $250,000 per annum, of % of 1 per cent. Bir. Faulkner (W. Va.) suggested to Mr. Gorman that he accept an amendment mak- ing the tax % of 1 per cent. Mr. Turpie (ind.), while not specially ob- jecting to the proposed amendment of Mr. Faulkner, said Mr. Gorman’s amendment ought to provide for a proper penalty. H3 maintained that a mere fine would be of no avail in the circumstances, as the corpora- tions would simply pay the fine in cases where it was less than the tax. Hs strong- ly urg2d that the penalty ought to include not only a fine, but imprisonment for not less than six months. Mr. Faulkner urged the acceptance of his amendment, as the firance committee had carefully considered the question and had d2cided that one-quarter of one per cent Was a reasonable and proper tax. -He point- ed out that the tax of one-quarter of one per cent upen the gross receipts was quite as high as that of 2 per cent upon net re- czipts as provided for in the law of 1894. Mr. Jones (Ark.), a member of the finance committe, said he would be willing to ac- cept Mr. Gorman’s amendment if it were made to apply only a8 a substitute for that paragraph of the bill taxing railroads, street rallroads and othr transportation companies. He objected, however, to its substitution for the paragraph levying a tex upon all corporations. Mr. Gorman presented an argument in zavor of his amendment. Mr. Lindsay (Ky.) suggested that, as a ———- of law,’ it might be well for Mr. rman to entirely exempt from taxa- tion $250,000 of the receipts of eyery cor- oration. If the reczipis did not reach B5p,000 they would mot be taxed; and they would be taxed only.on receipts above that sum. Mr. Daniel (Va.) said that while he had no desire unduly to delay the passage of the pending bill he thougat a full discus- sion of its important provisions ought to ad. He favored a tax upon the gross receipts of corporations and expressed his Tegret that objections to it on’ the ground of its suspected unconstitutionality had been made. These objections he desired to answer by a citation of authorities. He made an elaborate presentation of his views upon the respective state and federal powers of taxation as put in ques. tion by the pending bill, contending thi the taxation upon corporations was war- ranted fully by the law as existing and in- terpreted by the courts. In the course of Mr. Daniel's speech the'l Vice President laid before the Senate a communication from the Ohio legislature, announcing that it’ Was the“report’of the Ohio senate committee of the investiga- tion of charges of bribery against the ju- nior Ohio senator, Mr. Hanna. The com- munication was reférred to the committee, on privileges and elections. Mr. Daniel presented an argumert in favor of an income tax. He said that the mother country was more mocratic in to an income tax thaf the United «#s Great Britain had levied sucn a tax for more than a hundred years. Inasmuch as incomes had been relieved of taxation, Mr. Daniel maintained that it was Wise, 2xpedient and fair to tax business, in order that the wealthy of the country would not be deprived of the privilege of participation in the great national fight. He held it would be found wise and best so to diffuse as to have it cov2r wide range. Lib- erty and the Constitution and war and the blessings of the country must pay their price. This price, he believed, would be paid by the people with fortitude and with- out shrinking. ———_—__-~— ARMY NOMINATIONS. Ex-Senator Butler of South Carolina to Be a Major General.

TAMPA, Fla., May 28—Complete uncer- tainty prevails bere regarding future move- ments and while the expedition to invade Cuba is ready to go, the men perhaps are better reconciled to staying here for a while than they were. Changes in the assignments and disposi- ticns of the troops prevent any thought of stagnation. The 8th and Tist Regiments United States Infantry, whose camps are about two miles apart, are marching tiis morning to change places. The Florida regiment marched about as far yesterday to camp out beside the Georgians: - The men of the Michigan regiment have work- ed harder than woodchoppers ever since their arrival, grubbing oat palmetto roots in their camp. They have won a reputation for extraordinary industry and. kept their bealth and spirits good. , All the troops continue in good health; enormous supplies of provisions are here. So great is the jem of freight of all sorts belonging to the government that the city ccunctl last rftght had to authorize one of the raflroad companies to lay track on the streets to accommédate the cars. It is not true that the commissary and quartermaster departments are breaking down. In view of the magnitude of the problem, they are splving it very well. No hardships so far of a really serious char- acter have been suffered by any of the troops. The 7ist New York and 24 Massachusetts, still up at Lakeland, have been somewhat agitated by a report that they are to come here at once, in order to be in readiness to go to Cuba. This report is due to their assignment to Gen. Shafter’s division. Paymasters have arrived to pay off the troops on the monthly basis stiil, although the pay department understood they were to be paid henceforth on the ficld service plan of once in two months. Th2 yolun- teers will soon get their first goverament Day. Col. Curtis Guild has been appointed ordnance officer of the 7th Army Corps. This corps will include none but western and southgrn volunteers, and the work of supplying it with arms and munitions will be very great. —_>—_ NO REPORT RECEIVED. The Navy Department Can Say Noth- ing About the Fleets. The publication in the morning news- Papers of a series of dispatch2s from the press boats in the West Indies led to the expectation that the Navy Department itself would be in possession of interest- ing and important information relative to the state of affairs in the West Indies. The circulation of a number of rumors of @n extreme character running all the way from a report of the destruction of Samp- son's fleet to the bombardment of Santiago by Schley and the sinking of three Spanish ships, added a good deal to interest the early callers at the Navy Department, and caused the officials to be besieged by many anxious inquirers. Unfortunately, they had no news to give out, and it was stated positively that the only cable dispatches received over night. or, during the morning were from Admiral Dewey at Manila, by way of Hong Kong. While there is q natural desire ‘tovhear from the admiral, in view of the repeated repor:s of the precarious conditions at Manila, the main desire was for news from the Spanish fleet, or from Schley or from Sampson ir the West Indies. To all inquirers, “including a number of senators and representatives who called upon him in relation to other matters in business, Secretary Long was obliged to return the same answer, namely, that he had heard nothing from the squadrons, either our own or the Spanish. It is believed that the department has taken steps to acquaint Sampson, and, through him, Schley, with the newspaper reports of the appearance of the Spanish fleet off Port Limon, Costa Rica, and of the belief expressed by one of the British correspondents, who seems to be well in- formed, that the Spanish squadron had slipped away from Santiago, probably to- ward Martinique. Meanwhile, it is apparent that there is a growing feeling of anxiety in the depart- ment, not because of any apprehension for the safety of our own ships, but from fear that Cervera has escaped from Santiago, and that the country may be obliged to suffer another week of harrowing suspense before he is located again. Secretary Long went over to Camp Alger this afternoon. Before going he stated positively that nothing had yet been re- ceived from Schley or Sampson in regard to the Spanish fleet. LEAVES THE WEATHER BUREAU. Col. Dunwoody’s Departure After a Service of ‘Pwenty-Seven Years. Col. H. H. C. Dunwoody severed his con- nection with the weather tureau today for the purpose of assuming his military du- | ties as colonel of the new voluntary signal corps. He has served for twenty-seven years with the weather bureau, and his friends in that office presented him with @ beautiful gold-mounted sword at the timé of his leave-taking. This change deprives the weather bureau of one of its most valuable officers. Col; Dunwoody has been a factor in weather forecasting since the earliest days, when this work was\an incident in the military service, and the facilities at hand for a compicte survey of the entire meteorologi- cal field were few and unreliable. When first associated with Gen. Greely as prin- cipul assistant he aided materially in the development of the work, and when the bureau was transferred from the military to the civil branch of the government he was assigned to duty as assistant chief, in recognition of his intelligent and zeal- ous labors to perfect the forecasts. obs Cel. Dunwoody thus served for over a quarter of a century, becoming within a few years chief forecast official, exercis- ing a general supervision’ over the predic- tion work of the various officials detaiicd for that service.

Undoubtedly the infield is what is causing tne havoc.

THE TRACK HEAVY, Unpromising Outlook for the Brook- lyn Handic: NEW YORK, May 2s.—Disagreeable weather and a heavy track are the condi- ticns for the opening of the Brooklyn Jockey Club meeting today and the Brook- lyn handicap, at a inile and a quarter, which is to be run this afternoon, is hot likely to be the success it should be. Fifty herses are on the card as starters, al- though not more than ten of the lot are Hkely to go to the post. The names, weights and probable jockeys are as fol- lows: Ornament, 127 (Sloane); Ben Holladay, 121 (Dogget); On Deck, 119 (Taral); Semper Ego, 106 (Maher); Tillo, 118 (R. Williams); Dr. Catlett, 117 (H. Lewis); Howard Mann, 115 (Spencer); Lehman, 114; Don De Oro, 113 (Sims); Merry Prince, 105 (Hewitt); Royat Stag, 110 (Bergen); Ben Eder, 109 (Hamilton); Handball, 100 (Jackson); Sly ze 92 (Lamley); Our Johnny, 88 (O’Con- nc). Of these, the following are doubtful starters: Dr. Catlett, Howard Mann, Leh- man, Ben Eder and Handball. From an early hour this morning the track was thronged with horses at work, and it seemed as if there were more than ever galloping and doing quick rushes through the stretch. The grounds never Icoked better. The lawns were in tha best of condition and the buildings were bright and clsan. The new field grand-stand is a fine structure, and will attract many to that place, for a race can be sean as well from there as anywhere else on the course. All of the candidates for the handicap were out on the track this morning, but they did nothing more than canter around once or twice and then got a pipe-opener through the stretch just to keep them in good condition, for all have had their solid work in the last day or two and are as pat on edge as their trainers can make them. It was conceded on all sides, after the work of the morning was over and the trainers had gathered in groups to discuss the coming race, that Ornament was the popular favorite, and that he would be the best backed horse in the race. But the general opinion was that it would be an open contest, as there are so many good ones in this year, and nearly all had been raced more or less. Next to Ornament, in the opinion of the trainers, was Tillo, and then came On Deck, Don De Oro and Ben Holladay. Sly Fox’s good races at Morris Park caused him to be much talked about, s ck out two |and many thought his chances would have ts, but not a hit. | beén a great deal better if he had been put first inning.

The were, however, that a holding and consequently Take a Brace. Come, boys, take on a brace. The Wash- ing -n people know enough of base ball to be aware of your ability, and would like to see you put up games of which you are capable. If you are dissatisfied, go to Mr. Wagner and state your grievance. The game that was put up by the Senators last season under the Schmelz regime was something long to be remembered, and this season's work has the same copyrighted earmarks. Whatever the difficuity is, you owe it to yourselves as players and to the patrons of the game to have it eradicated, and the speedier the work is performed the better it will be for all concerned. The St, Loulg Browns, under the manage- ment of the ex-umpire, Timothy Hurst, will open a series of four games with the Sen- ators at National Park Monday morning. The Browns have been playing exception- ally fast ball of late and close contests should be the result of the series.. Should the weather be warm, the chances are that Dinneen will be placed on the rubber. Manager Hurst has given it out that there is nothing easier in the league than Tom Brown's boys, and it is to be hoped that this statement can be repudiated most em- phatically. q Still Another Defeat. The Washington club, after a desperate struggle at Pittsburg yesterday, managed to make one more error than did their op- ponents, three less hits and five less: runs.“ Eight errors were made. by: the visitors, four of them going to Wagner, who accept- ed.two chances out of six, and two each to Gettman and Wrigley. The other side made seven errors, Mr. Gray, their third baseman, capturing three.of them, he ac- cepting one chance out of four. The Wash- ington people made seven hitg off Tannehill, Reltz, who Is developing into quite,a hitter, getting three of them. The others were di- vided hetweeen Gettman,his being a homer; Selbach, Doyle and Anderson, the latter's being a triple. The Pirates made ten hits McCarthy securing three of them being a. three-bagger. Tannehill.was very much ip: evidence, get- ting two hits, stealing two.pases, striking out two men and giving net @ pass.
