Two other war measures were passed, one sus pending for the duration of the war the lestiictions placed by existing laws upon the quartermaster s department of the army, in order that supplies may be purchased without the present form alities, and providing that owners of mining claims shall not forfeit them for not performing assessment work upod them, provided they enlist for the war. The resolution presented by Butler, of North Carolina, declaring there is no necessity existing for issuing bonds to provide fuuds for the war, and in favor of the levying of an income tax, was laid before the Senate, and after a short statement by Butler in support of it, was referred to the finance committee.

The Senate recedes from all its news legislation put in the bill, and the Housa recedes from disagreement to senate increases. Miy 4th. Iu the Senate the confer ence report on the fortification appro priation bill was presented and agreed to.

The Con gress may by law provide for the case where there is no person entitled to hold the office of President or Vice President, declaring what officer shall act as President aad such officer shall act accordingly until the disability shall be roaioved or a President shall be elected. " Mills, of Texas, proposed an amendment in the shape of a new section intended to authorize Congress to la- a tax on incomes in such a form as to meet the requirements of the de cision of the Supreme Court, but it w as defeated by a vote of 32 to 29.

It Don- goes to the President. A number of bills of minor importance were passed, and the Alaska land bill conference report was reject ed. Diagley, of Maine, in advocating the war emergency appropriation, called attention to tho probable expense of tho war and the necessity for extraor dinary revenue. He said the ?")0. -CoO.ooo appropriated for defence had been exhausted; that the present emergency bill carried :;, 0' 0.0'JO and the expenditures made necessary by reason of the war would probably amount very soon to 6100,000,000. be cause of the fortification appropriation. The bill was thea passed without di yisioa. The bill to increase the num ber of surgeons in the army was passed. It provides for au increase of fifteen assistaut surgeons, with the rank of first lieutenaut to be appointed after examination by an arm-medical board.

Bohemian sportsmen In the year 1S33 shot and killed fifty men. women, and children, and wounded 2,014 persons, chiefly gamekeepers. They also killed among other game, over 15,000 dogs, S,7t2 cats, 2 horses, 15 cows, 132 calves, 270 goats, and 120 sheep. For this they h3u to pay collectively over $r00.000 for doctors, fines, and Indemni ties, and to spend 74.3SS days in jaiL The Austrian government collects the statistics. The mutilated condition in which the body of the insurgent, Gen. Aranguren. ws found illustrates the savagery of the Spanish soldiery. It is eald that his clothes showed evidence of twenty seven wounds by bayonet, machete and Hword thrusts, besides two bullet wounds, either of which was sufficient to cause instant death. Only savage3 mutilate their victims after death, and the Spanish soldiery seem to be of them. Iterutatiou may make friends, but it takes character to keep them.
