time Of yesterdays meeting was spent
on this schedule. The two points in dis
pute are the size of packages Of manu-
factured tobacco and the. house pro-
vision making the tax OF 10. cents per
pound agreed upon by both houses ap-
ply to stock in hand When the confer
ence adjourned tonight. IL looked as n
the senate would win in its contention
striking out the retroactive clause and
as If the provision in regard TO the size
of packages would be compromised and
a medium size agreed upon. The beer
tax will in all probability remain as
fixed by the senate-that is, a tax OF S2
per barrel with IA per cent rebate viii
be imposed. This matter was among
those left open for a definite settlement
tomorrow, but there is no doubt that
the result will be as stated.
Somewhat TO the surprise OF the SEN
ate members Of the conference. the
house conferees manifested a desire TO
have the tonnags tax restored, and this
Is one OF the points yet TO be definitely
determined. The indications are, how
eyer, that the senate will not yield in
its determination to do away with this
tax because Of the international ques-
tions involved.

Some curious experiments have been
made by a Harvard professor TO prove
what is really the best height for the
chair you sit on and the desk you write
at. Every person. it appears, ought q
have a chair specially made to suit his
or her height, and the seat OF the chair
should be exactly one-quarter Of your
height from the floor. Thus, if you arc
six feet high the chair seat should
be is inches. The width of the seat
should exactly equal its height, and il
should slope backward three-quarters
Of an inch to the foot. The back should
be trife higher than the seat, and
sloped slightly, not too much. Finally,
your desk should be two-thirds as high
again as the seat of your chair. Thus,
If your chair seat is "a inches, the desk
should be 40 inches in height. When
you have attended to all these little de-
tails you can sit and write all day

nill Under COnsideration--Censu Bill
Passed by the senate--Civi7 serv-
ice Amendment Defeated.

WASHINGTON, June 9.--The house
yesterday disposed of the senate amend
ments Of the sundry civil bill and agreed
TO further conference. The conference
report upon the postoffice appropriation
bill was adopted without debate, and
the house proceeded to consider the bill
20 provide for participation Of volun-
teer soldiers in congressional elections.
Adjournment was taken pending dis
posal, and 1t Will come up today. The
session began and ended with Hawaiian
Incidents Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep., o.,
leader Of the annexationists. figuring in
each instance. They grow out of the
anxiety OF those who want early con-
sideration lest the opposition win vic
tory and effect undue delay, If not the
defeat Of the resolutions at this session.
General Grosvenor's object yesterday
In introducing the resolution to consider
the HaWaiian annexation is TO place the
question Of getting up the annexation
resolution formally before the commit
tee on rules. looking to a special rule
for its immediate consideration in the
house.
He stated that he expected 4Ae an
nexation resolution would be brought up
in the house today. TT is the intention
Ol the IIltnuS OF lne measure ne Sdlu,
"tO bring the annexation resolution up
Immediately and press II to a final pas
sager'
He said the resolution would be
brought UP today either by a special
rule or by recognition. His resolution
at least disposes OF one Of the conten-
tions Of the opponents of annexation
that no formal request for action has
been made to the committee on rules,
though verbal requests have been show
cred on the speaker and the Republican
pembers of that committee. Conference
reports, however, have precedence oyer
the resolution, and II the war revenue
bill is reported, as now seems possible

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
1t Is Expected Report WIN BE Mado
TO the Senate Today.

to the Senate Today.
-, WASHINGTON, June 9.--Unless most
carefully arranged plans fall of realiza-
ton the conferees OF the two houses Of
congress on the war revenue bill VIII
make their report to the senate today
soon after the beginning of the days
session.
When yesterdays meeting came TO a
close, practically all the differences be-
tween the two houses had been adjusted
except those on the tobacco schedule
and the coinage OF the silver seign-
Q forage, though there were some points
stnl to be settled with reference 70 the
proposed issue Of bonds ana certificates
of indebtedness. The. terms Of the set
tlefnent of these, controverted points
may make a difference in the agreement
,on other items so far reached, but II is
b not believed that many Of these win be
materially changed. l.~t ',ne -
The settlement so far obtained Is a.
substantial victory for the senate Prac-
tically all Of the senate amendments In
phraseology and penalties have been re-
tained. as have also a large majority OF
the senate's more material changes.
Among the most important Of these
which the report win show have been
agreed to by the confcrees are those
providing for tax on inheritances for
a duty on tea and for taxes on sleeping
and palace cars, petroleum and sugar
refinery, on mixed flour and on bankers,
brokers, theaters, circuses, etc. All
these provisions, which were inserted
by the senate. are retained in practical
ly the language of the senate amend
mentsA There was strong contest over
NIL these provisions except tea. which, Il
is understood. was quite unanimously
accepted as a proper provision.
The senate bond provision has been
modified so as to constitute a compro-
mise with the house. The most mate
rial alteration made in this amendment
is one fixing the amount of bonds at
S4OO. .OO0. 600, instead of $500. 900 900 as
agreed upon by the senate and $500 600
600 as proposed by the houses There
has also been some change in the gen.
eral phraseology of this provision. The
provision in regard to time certificates
also viii be amended. but the amount
which was $780, 900 in both the
senate and house bills, will remain al
that figure. The changes VIII be of a
character making the proposed loar

Among the senate amendments which
will probably 90 out are those provid'
ing for a tax upon receipts above S. ant

as the Chiffon amendment.
