Senate Committee Adopts the Democratic
Amendments-May Report Today.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-With the
exception of a few administrative fea-
lures the war revenue bill Is ready for
report to the senate This report prob
ably VIII be made today, though con-
sideration Of the measure will not be
begun before Monday. With the as
sistance of Senator Jones Of Nevada
the Democrats had control OF the
finance committee and adopted their
amendments, which include u corpora
ton tax of one-quarter of 1 per cent, a
provision for the coinage of the seign-
forage and the issuance Of $150,0OO.OO0 of
greenbacks. The bond provision Is
eliminated
1t required only a little more than an
hour for the committee to dispose Of
the Democratic amendments. II was
soon made evident that Senator Jones
of Nevada would vote with the Demo-
Gratis on all their amendments, and as
his vote turned the scale against the
Republicans they did not enter into a
stubborn struggle to prevent this con-
summation. The vote to strike out the
bond feature stood 6 TO 3. as follows:
Jones of Arkansas, White, Turpie,
Daniel and Chiffon (Dem) and Jones Of
Nevada (silver Rep.) for 1t and Allison.

Morris In Commission.

NEWPORT r. l.. May 12.-The tor
pedo boat Morris, which was launched
last month from the Herreshoffs yard
and which made 24.O5 knots on her Off
cial trial, was placed in commission at
the torpedo station yesterday afternoon
just before sunset. The crew were mus
tered aft and the boat turned over to
Lieutenant c. Fox. her commander. by
Lieutenant Commander Mclean.
The Morris has not left her dock since
her delivery TO the government, and the
crew has had no practice with torpe-
does. II is thought that imperative or
ders came yesterday In regard to the
boats sailing. or she would not have
been placed in commission at such an
unusual hour. The small boats Gwin
and Talbot win probably accompany the
Morris when she sails. Nothing official
can be learned.

dock with full steam up, and no one is
allowed on board. General Wade went
out to the port yesterday and held a
long conference with Superintendent
