Progress of the Revenue Bill in the Senate. After Mr. Butier completed his speech in the Senate yesterday afternoon the work of perfecting the war revenue bill was re- sumed. Mr. Jones (Ark. offered for the com- mittee some formal amendments to the paragraph relating to the stamp tax on medicinal articles put up 2s proprietary ar- ticles. As amendcd the paragraph reads: “Provided, That no stamp tax shall be i posed upon any uncompounded medicinal drug or chemical; nor upon any medicine sold tu, or for the use of, any person which may be mixed or compounded for said per- son according to the written recipe or pre- scription of any practicing physician or surggon. And the stamp taxes provided for in schedule B shail apply to all medici- nal articles compounded by any formula, published or unpublished, which are put up in styles or manner similar to that of patent, trade mark or proprietary medicine in general, or which are advertised on the package or otherwise as remedies or speci- fies for any ailment or as having any special claim to merit or to any peculiar advantage in mode of preparation, quality, use or effect.” The paragrapi relating to the industrial or weekly payment was so amended as to provide that the tax should be 50 per cent of the first weekly payment of premium. The tax does not apply to the fraternal or lodge insurance companies. The paragraph was further amended so as to include in the insurance organiza- tions exempted from the tax, employes’ re- lief associations and farmers’ co-operative societies The committee amendment placing stamp tax upon all receipts for money was adopted. Schedule D, relating to the tax on pro- prietary articles was so amended as to make it read “medicinal proprietary ar- ticl An exception in favor of “natural spring waters” was made in the tax placed upon waters. In connection with the consideration of the committee amendments to schedule B, Mr. Gallinger gave notice of an amend- ment reducing all the taxes levied in this schedule cne-half. From the committee amendment provid- ing that all articles covered by schedule B, Waich are im the hands of manufacture wholesale or retail, dealers should be taxed, Mr. Faulkner proposed to strike out the clauses of the amend:aent which in- cluded the stocks of proprietary artic! the hands of wholesale or retail drug He maintained that it would be working an injustice to the dealers who had ar- chased the goods and had them in stock. Mr. Wolcott held that if the amendment were adopted it would render the provision useless. Mr. Faulkner's amendment was rejected, to 44. Mr. Allen proposed an amendment to the paragraph exempting all articles in thy hands of retail dealers. It was rejected. The committee amendment was then agreed to. It prevides that upon all the articles and preparations at present in the hands of manufacturers or of wholesale or retail dealers the tax stamp shall be placed by the dealer when the articles are sold at retail. Mr. Gallinger ther offered his amendment reducing by one-half the taxes levied upon all medicinal proprietary articles, prepara- tions, perfumes, cosmetics, ete., included in schedule B. He maintained that the tax Was onerous and unnecessary. In antagonizing the amendment, Mr. Al- drich said schedule B had given the com- mittee more trouble than any other part of the bill, but he was satisfied that the tax proposed by the committee was equita- ble ana just. The tax on these articles was insignificant, he said, compared with that on beer and tobacco and they were well able to stand it. The amendment was rejected, 22 to 47. Mr. Allison said that as the bill was now completed as far as the committee was con- cerned, except as to the bond provision and the substitutes offered for it, he would be glad if an arrangement for a final vote could be effected. He believed that the Dill could be disposed of today and hoped that it might, as such a consummation was p ticularly desirabie. Mr. Jones (Ark.) had no i doubt that a final vote on the bill would be reached to- but objected to an agreement. Allison then gave notice that he sk the Senate to remain in session bill was completed and day, Mr. would today until the passed. Mr. White (Cal.) offered an amendment levying a tax of one-quarter of one per cent upon the gross receipis of every per- son, firm or corporation operating sleeping cars on railroads. In offering the amend- ment, he said: “This amendment will per- mit the payment of a part of the war bur- dens by the various sleeping car companies. They have been long desirous of contribut- ing to the government's expenses, but could not because of the lack of necessary legislation. Such a tax as I propose will not fall, I fancy, upon the consumer.” After agreeing to meet at 11 o'clock to- day, the Senate at 5:20 p.m. went into ex- ecutive secsion and shortly afterwards ad- journed. —_—_-2-_____ Nominations Confirmed.

TELEPHON LIGHT ON s The subcommittee of the House commit- tee on appropriations charged with the tel- ephone investigation resumed its hearings today. Mr. Nicholas S. Hl, jr, formeriy in charge of th ectrical subway work for the city of Baltimore and now recognized as an authority on subway and conduit work, appeared before the committee, He was examined briefly by Mr. Hemphill, counsel for the citizens’ committee. Mr. Hill said he was engaged by the elec- trical commission appointed by the Mary- land legislature to lay an underground elec- tric system in Baltiomer. He was also en- gineer for the commission which irvestigat- ed the best method of disposing of the overhead wires in the city About thirty- one miles of streets were included in the Baltimore subway system. The system va- ried from six and eight ducts to two ducts. The ducts were laid under asphalt, I block and cobb’ lgta one pavements. Cost of Underzround Conduits. The cost of the thir y-one miles of under- ground conduits, complete with electrical equipment, was $246,000, He could noi give figures showing how much of work was laid under sheet asphalt and how much under other pavements. Mr. Hemphill asked the witness about the comparative cost of construction under the different kinds of surfacing Mr. Hill said that the cost of a Camp terra cotta conduit, carrying ten ducts, d be as follows: Under t asphalt, per foot; under cobble sto S170 per foot. He said the duct used in Wa ington is made in this city. It costs ap- proximately the same to lay as the Camp duct. To lay five ducts under cobb! pavement would ¢ proximately $1 per foot, and $1.70 under asphalt. Fifteen ducts would cost $2.25 under cobble stone and $3.10 under asphalt. ‘How does the underground construction compare in cost with the overhead? asked Mr, Hemphill. Overhead Cost Compared. Mr. Hill said the comparative cost per mile of pole line co truction could be com- pared. On a pole line, carrying ten twelve- pin arms, the total cost for the first year would be $6,092.38 per mile. For a three- inch underground conduit carrying 100 Pairs of wires the cost would be $3,364 per mile. The interest, taxes, de ation, etc., on the overhead system would be $900 a year, and for the underground $30 a year. The cost of maint nee on the un- derground system would be 1 per cent, and for the overhead 8 per cent. After the first year the comparison would still be in favor of the underground system. He said these figures were based partially en the results of the first year's opera- tions. The results were favorable to the Underground system. Furthermore, the commission visited other cities, where dif- ferent conditions prevailed, and the fig- ures included their observ ations in those cities. “How did the cost of the Chesapeake and Potome Telephone Company's ducts compare with yours?” asked Mr. Hemp- hill. “I have never been able to learn much about the cost of the Bell Telephone Com- pany’s work in any city,” replied Mr. Hill Mr. Hill said that Baltimore built ducts to the extent of about 60 per cent in excess of the requirements. He had recommend- ed that the city build in excess of its possible needs be rented. The and derives the about So that some ducts should is now renting ducts from a revenue equal to ¢ per cent on the total cost of con- | duits. said he would not hesitate to put and telegraph wires in electric light conduits. Mr. Bryan doubted the practicability of 4 such Telep! stem ne and Telegraph Wires in Electric Light Conduits.

If you care to devote the space necessary for the publication of the following reme- dies you may thereby render a good serv- ice to our boys of the army: I resided in Cuba for seven years, be- tween 1855 and 1862, and during that time traveled and lived in different parts of the island, town and country. I have never knowa a case of yellow fever in the coun- try, even during the times of epidemic in the cities. The prevalent illness is fever and ague, known by the natives as “terci- anas.” All foreigners are subject to it and sooner or later are bound to have it. It is fiercer and stronger than ours and is more like Chagres fever. Sometimes the chill and the fever succeed each other without intermission, and quinine seems to have no effect. After suffering myself for eighteen months I obtained this remedy from the late General Isaac R. Trimble, aecompani- ed by the statement that it was given to him by Dr. Cuyler of West Point, who used it in Mexico, General Trimble was at that time the contractor for the Havana rail- road. All of his hands were taken with the fever, and all of them were restored to work by the use of this remedy. After cur- ing myself I gave it to several of my friends and my countrymen without a sin- gle failure. The remedy is as follow One-half ounce Peruvian bark, 20 grains root. Mix in three powders and take all three— on well day. I wish to add that all of us who were cured by this remedy had taken quinine in quantities without effect, and we were permanently cured. The following remedy for yellow fever was given to me by a Spanish doctor whe had wonderful success during an epidemic in Havana which amounted almost to a plague: > When the first symptoms appear, viz., chilliness, languor and failure of appetite, take two glasses of ordinary size, fill each bot quite half full of almond oil, and squeeze into each one- lemon. Give one of them to the pat if at the end of two hours the bowels are not opened give him the other. Get them open and keep them oper. is the principle. In the fall of 1862 I left pany. scribers and a recel but obj
