REVENUE BILL TO BE RUSHED.
Final Vote on the Measure in the
Senate Expected To-day.

Senate Expected AO-uay.
Washington, June 2.-When the Senate
adjourned this evening the war revenue
measure, so far as the finance committee
Is concerned, was completed with the ex-
ception of the bond provision and the
amendments proposed by the Democrats
in lieu of the bond paragraph
While no agreement was reached fixing
a time for the taking of a final vote upon
the bill, 1t was the. expressed opinion on
both sides of the chamber that vote
would be taken tomorrow before adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Allison, Rep, of Iowa, in charge of
the measure, announced that he would ask
the Senate to remain in session tomorrow
until a vote was reached.
All of the committee amendments, ex-
cept the ones noted were agreed to this
afternoon Several efforts were made to
amend or eliminate the committe amend
ments, but the efforts in each case were
unsuccessful.
MIR Butler Pop. of North Carolina, had
the floor for three hours and half this
afternoon. Within fifteen minutes after
he begun to speak he brought on general
political engagement, which lasted for
more than an hour.
MIR Butler made characteristic attack
upon the Republican party, in the course
of which he arfaigned what he said was
the determination of the majority of the
Senate to incorporate in the bill a provis-
ion for the issue OF bonds. He made Sc
rious reflections upon the Senate Itself,
charging that its majority had been ''un-
duly influenced upon the question of
bonds.
This statement brought to his feet Mr.
Gallinger Of New Hampshire, who de-
handed that Mr. Butler make his charges
more specific.
In the course of a colloquy between the
two senator's, Mr.. Butler declared that
immense sums had been contributed to the
Republican presidential campaign fund by
the trusts and monopilsts and bond
holders and money changers and that
80 per cent. of the money had been raised
and paid over to the Republican party I'M
der a contract that certain legislation pro-
noting the interests OF trusts and monop-
olies should be enacted.
MIR. Gallinger insisted that the charges
should be made specific, that Mr. Butler
had no right under the rules to arraign
him or his party unless he had definite and
specific charges TO present, and If the rules
of the Senate gave him the right they
ought be changed
laF than radow dawod wadow dawodawd
Mr. Butler said that while he believed
the statement 10 be true he had not made
it upon his responsibility, with personal
knowledge of its truth II have learned"
said he, lin the course Of my experience as
chairman of the Populist party committee
that there are interests which will contri-
butte to the support Of any party in return
for an agreement that that party viii sup
port legislation favorable to those inter-
esis."
Senators on both sides Of the chamber
We're brought into the debate and a good
deal of ia feeling was manifested.

morrow the Senate, at $50 O'Clock went
