MI. Jones Of Arka nsas offered a reso-
luton directing the secretary Of the in
terror that special instructions be Civ
en- to Charles NJ. Schlierholx, special
agent Of the land ONCE at Batesville.
Ark. Mr.. Jones complained that the
agent Of the government. Mr.. Schiller
hols. was In the habit Of sei3ing tim
Der RATS floating down the White
river to Batesvil1e and compelling the
raft owners to prove hat the timber
was not cut from government land.
He said that some Of the acts OF this
"underling" were a disgrace and an out
rage, and me ought to be kicked out of
his position" h resolution was adopt
ed.
Mr.. AIdrich presented the report of
the committee on conference on the war
revenue measure, and when II was read
said that the senators were familiar
with the details of the report. and he
would make no formal statement.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas a hat as
one Of h conferees he mad not signed
h report, and would vote against 1t.
Many things in the report, were salts
factory to him, particularly the reten-
ton Of N per cent beer rebate. He
did not favor the reduction in the mat
ter OF silver to be coined each month,
but he was gratihed that the provision
for the coinage Of all the silver bullion
in the treasury had been retained in
the measure. The proposed addition to
h bonded debt Of the country was, in
Mr.. Jones' opinion, seriously objection
able, 30 much 50. in fact, that he would
oppose the adoption Of b report. He
e a Newspaper clipping announcing
that arrangements had been perfected
at he treasury department for the i'm
mediate issue OF $500. 90. go Of bonds.
He had no doubt the statement was &C.
curate.

ton to h provision OF the bill that the
bonds should be issued only a. q means
Of raising money with which to prose-
cute the war.

tax on orders. checks. ETC., OF the peo-
pie. n had released the railroads from
the requirement to pay q similar tax OF
bills Of lading. This. he believed, was
hard on the people. and unnecessary.
Mr.. Wolcott Of Colorado in . brief
ate conferees. He said Il had been Q
long time since q bill oe "a great i'm
portance ~ this m had created 90
little friction The report Of the con-
ference. he thought. wa eminently
fair and just and rejected great credit
upon h conferees Of both the senate
n the house.
TT may be true. said Mr.. Woloort.
. the venator from Arkansas (Mr.
Jones) says. that the secretary Of the
treasury inadvertently may have done
just what h enator says hi had.
The secretary Of the treasury has done
many foolish things. But the bill 30
hedges about the secretary with condi-
ticns that he will be forced to follow
the law"
Nj. Wolcott said he was satisfied that
the people OF the country would take
the bonds offered by the government.
