WASHINGTON, May 5.-The senate
committee on finance ass body was
not in session today, having adjourned
over until tomorrow in order to permit

Ihe Republican members Of the COM

Wolcott, were in conference over the
situation for several hours.
The Democratic members Of the
hnance committee held a conference
late this afternoon, and agreed upon an
amendment they will offer to the bill
imposing a tax Of l per cent upon the
revenues OF certain corporations, in

WASHINGTON, May 5.-During al
most the entire session today the SEN
ate had under consideration the post
office appropriation bill. The measure
carries 500, 224 300, being very much the
heaviest of all the appropriation bills.
The most important action taken
upon the measure was the adoption Of
an amendment offered by Mr.. Tillman,
Of South Carolina, reducing the num-
Der Of deliveries of mail In all cities of
the country to numper not exceed
ing four each day. The amendment
was sharply antagOniZed as blow to
business interests in the large cities,
but the feeling Of the senate was such
that despite the vigorous opposition IL
prevailed by decisive majority.
A lively debate was precipitated by
an amendment of the committee strik-
Ing out the appropriation of $4,000 for
rural free delivery. The proposition
was discussed for nearly two hours, Mr..
Chandler, Of New Hampshire, and Mr..
Butler, of North Carolina, leading the
fight in favor of rural delivery. BY
the close vote Of Is to %, however, the
committee was sustained, and the bill
now carries no appropriation for such
