The gold product the gr in the history of the country, exceeding that of 1898 by $6,600,400, and greater by $6,060,600 than the estimated product of 1853, the record year In the working of tho California placer mines. The principal galns In 1809 over 1508 were in Alaska $2,934,700, due to the Cape Nomo district; Colorado, $2,787,500, and Utah, $1,165,400. The stiver product of the United States in 1999 was elightly greater than in 1898, being 64,764,000 ounces, against 54,438,000 ounces.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The secrotary of war has cabled Instructions to Major Gen- eral MacArthur at Manila to begin the work of returning the volunteer troops from the Philippines in order to permit of their discharge in this country hy June 30 next This action has been taken in anticipation of the authorization by congress of the en- listment of regular regiments to replace the recalled troops. Plans for the organization of the proposed new regiments have been perfected at the War department and com- plete arrangements made for thelr epeedy recruitment and equipment. Action i this matter walts only the approval of congress. It is hoped by the secretary of war and the military authorfties that the bill for the reorganization of the army now be- fore the senate will become a law before congress takes a recess for the holidays, on December 21. The officlals make no secvet of their great concern over the existing situation and say that the fallure of con- gress to take immediate action for Its re- lef undoubtedly will result in consldera- ble embarrassment to the government and serfously retard the execution of the ad- tinistration’s policy for the establishment of an cfcient and stable government in the archipelago.

RATE OF BEER TAXATION AGAIN DEBATED Scale Fived hy the Ways and Means Committee s Accepted, Clause Limiting Stze of ¥ In Rejected. WASHINGTON, Dee. 14 day adjourned without disposing than half the war revenue reduction bill General debate closed at 2 o'clock, after which the bill was opened to amendments under the five-minute rule. A determined effort was made to reduce still further the tax ot beer below the committee rate of $1.60 a barrel, but the ways and means committee overwhelmed the opposition The committee, however, sustained two signal defeats. In conuection with the beer tax Mr. Payne offered an amendment in the language of the bill passed by the house last session designed to abolish the use of small beer packages—one-sixteenth and one-eighth barrels, but it was defeated by 85 to 94, after charges that its purpose was to crush out the small brewers. An- other defeat occured in connection with the | amendment offered by Henry C. Smith of Michigan. The bill abolished the one-cent stamp tax on express receipts and tele- graph messages, but retalned the tax on railroad and steamship freight receipts Mr. Smith's amendment restored the tax on express receipts and altered the form of the section 0 as to compel the company instead of the shipper to pay the tax. The amendment precipitated a lively debate in the course of which Mr. Smith made a personal allusion to a United States sena tor, who is connccted with one of the ex- press companies. Mr. Payne vigorously fought the amendment, but it was carried 123 to 106 Text of the Ame "t The text of the amendment is as follows “Express and freight: It shall be the duty of every raiiroad or steamboat com- pany, cArrier, express company or corpora- tlon, or person whose occupation is to act as such, to make within the first fifteen days of each month sworn statement to | the collector of internal revenue in each of their respective districts, stating the number of shipments roceived for carriage and transporation, whether in bulk or In boxes, bales, packages, bundles, or not inclosed or included, for which any charges whatsoever has been made, and for which such shipments received for carriage and transportation the said raiiroad or steam boat company, carrier, express company, or corporation or person whose occupation it is to act as such, shall pay a tax of 1 cent on bundles or packages of newspapers when Inclosed in one general bundle at the time of shipment.” Mr. Maddox of Georgla, the first speaker today, produced figures to show that the $88,000,00 surplus which existed when Mr. Harrison came Into office in 1889, was diss! pated during the latter's term and said that a doficit confronted the second Cleveland administration when it resumed control in 1893, Mr. Maddox warned the republicans that under their policy there would be as great a necessity for a standing war fund as for a standing army of 100,000. He prided himself on the fact that he was one of the men who -had consistently opposed the Spanish war. Mr. Otey of Virginia, in a characteristic speech, wade an appeal for a further. re- duction of the “oppressive tax_on tobacco. He said that 980,000,000 pereons used to- bacco; 400,000,000 used coffee; 450,000,000 used oplum and 100,000,000 used tea. Exact statlstics on the users of whisky, he said. he did not have. But it was beyond con- troversy that tobacco was the solace of the world. Mr. Lewls of Georgla protested that the bl A1d not go far cnough, ard Mr. Sulzer of New York denounced the republicans for not repealing the whole act, as they had promised to repeal it as soon as the war was over. He was particularly insistent in | demanding the total repeal of the addi- tional tax upon beer. Dalzell Defends DIl Mr. Gaines of Tennessee concluded e gen 1 debate for his side of the house. Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania closed for the republicans with a comprehensive speech of an hour. The war revenue act, he eaid upon the statute books to meet war ex- penditures. It was not limited by time, because war always brings with it a train of extraordinary expenditures, which do not terminate with the close of actual hostllities. A cut of $40,000,000, he argued, was the extreme limit isistent with safety, and he sald that in making the re- ductlons the ways and means commlittee had made wise selections, Those who sought the total repeal of the war taxes, he sald, seemed to forget the extraordinary expenses that might have to be met in 1502, They made no provision for a river aud harbor bill, for big armor plate for subsidies for the merchant marine, if the bill pending in the senate should paes, for the comstruction of tha Nicaragua canal, and for the possibility that the supreme court might declde that the constitution followed the flag, In which case the United States would have to re- fund all duties collected in the ports of Potro Rico, Hawall and the Philippines, Better a surplus, ha said, than a deficlt In his opinfon it were hetter not to have gone boyond the $20,000,000 cut recom mended by the secretary of the treasury. He sald the $10,000,000 reduction on beer had boen made as a concession to members on the floer. It would, he sald, be fe to reduce that tax another dollar Debate on Reer Tax.

Mr. Newlands of amendment to reduce the tax $1.20 a barrel. He urged that the tax on beer could be reduced and the taxes on the ac- cumulated wealth of the country, for the first time placed under contribution, could be retained Mr. Payne opposed the Newlands' amend ment, which, he sald, would make a re- duction of $26,000,000 on beer, or a total reduction of $6,000,000. Such a reduction, he sald, would necessarlly creato a deficit. | Mr. Newlands' amendment was lost, 60 to | a7 | Mr. Barthold offered an amendment mak- ing the rate $1.60 Mr. Allen of Mississippi made a short and | witty speech, closing, he eald, his “‘great leglslative career.” He referred ironically to the need of keeping up taxation and spending more mobey.

The amendment, be said, would crush out the small brewers. Mr. Barney and Mr. Davidson of Wiscon- sin and Mr. Greene of Pennysylvania, also opposed the amendment. Mr. Payne denied that the amendment was in the interest of the large brewers. The amendment was defeated, 85 to 04, Mr. Newlands offered an amendment pro- viding that every corporation or firm engaged In manufacturing, whose gross receipts exceeds ) clge tax one-tenth of 1 per cent on such recéipts above $600,000 and that such per- | sons, corporations, etc., ehall make true and accurate returns annually to the commis- | sloner of internal revenue, as in the case of refiners of sugar and petroleum.

Mr. Smith charged that express end telegraph companies had been un- patriotic in refusing to bear their sharp of the war taxes by compelling thelr cus- tomers to pay the tax. He made a direct reference to a senator of the United States, who Is connected with one of the express companles, and declared that when tho law was passed that senator had advised the company not to pay the tax. Mr. Payne replied that the express com- panies had found that they could not pay the enormous tax and live.

Mr. Jones of Arkansas announced that he been directed by the committee on contiugent expenses of an lavestigation of the clalms of Willlam A. Clark and Martin Magionis to a seat in the senate under appolntment of the governor of Montana, that the matter be referred to the com- mittee on privileges and elections, as it had not come from a standing committee Mr. Chandler, the chairman of that com- | mitteo, immediately reported it back to | the senate and asked for its adoption. This was objected to on technical grounds, but | the resolution finally was referred to the committee on contingent expenses. then, at 12:60 p. m., went exccutive session upon the Hay-Pauncefo'e | treaty, and ac 4:30 p. m. adjourned until | tomorrow No Day Set for V After reporting to tho senate in execu- tive session today the new amendments to the Hoy-Pauncefoto treaty as made by the committee foreign relations, Senator made an effort {0 have e day set for vote upon the treaty. e Thursday as the generall eptable time, but Seamtor Mason first objection and when withdrew it Senator Money suggested that Senator Mor gan had given notice that he would ask that the vote upon the treaty should be ed until u vote could be secured upon ragua canal hill Morgan, howey was 1ot disposed to make that coutention avy longer because he did not wish to do anything which would lead Great Britain to think that this country desires to take a threatening position Sennior Butler then suggested the fixing of a time for a vote Senator Lodge said that In view of position taken he would impress upon attention of the senate early and late un- Ul the vote cou'd be had and later de- clined to move an adjournment from today to Monday because of fhe rofusal to al- low a day to be named for a vote.
