changes in the internal revenue part of

tions of the income tax feature The
tinancetrommittee has been considering

The question was under further con-
sideration yesterday, the long speeches
made onthe floor OF the senate rendering
it Unnecessary for the members Of the
copmittee toSbe present in the senate, but
no decision Has yet been reached. The
committee is Also uncertain whether any
change will be. made int income tax,
but is considering the proposition for it's
modification. which it is believed will
make the bill acceptable in this respect

is understood that If any changes are
uAads there will be shorter limitation

IA the senate yesterday was in marked
contrast with the wonderful progress
made the day previous.
Not cog was turned. The entire eight
hours ;wer~t ale oted to set speeches pre-
liminary TO the consideration of the wool
schedule. Mr.. Qaay. who has been qudes-
cent for five weeks resumed the delivery
Of his speech. which has already occu-
MED four days, and after speaking four
hours yesterday his manuscript. seemed
unappreciably diminished. Then he
yielded from sheer exhaustion, and
Messrs Pettigrew. Power and PETER
made set speeches against free wool.
1t Is probable that the actual consider
ation Of the wool schedule will be reached
before adjournment today. During n lull
IA the debate yesterday. Mr.. Mitchell
moved to lay the tariff billion the table.
The motion. however was without spe-
cinl signincauce, and was defeated by
ptrict party vote.
Mr.. Chapman, the Wall street broker,
whorefused to answer questions, WAS re-
ported as contumacious to the senate by
this sugar Investigating committee, and a
resolution WAS. introduced to bring him
20 the bar Of the senate for contempt
