MUST BE GER NAME.
No Other Amendment Will He Accepted
to the War Revenue Measure.

Washington, May 30.-The senate COM
mittee on finance was in session for three
hours to-day considering amendments
which have been suggested to the war rev.
enue bill. The time was spent largely in
an exchange Of views upon the policy OF
accepting any amendments which are not
erman to the bill, the result being a de-
termination to accept none such of what
ever character. The talk was directed es-
pecially towards the amendments of Sem
ator Lodge for the annexation of Hawaii
and of Senator Morgan providing for a
form Of government of acquired territory,
and there was a general expression of
opinion that they would not be accepted
by the committee. and furthermore. that
IL necessary they should be met will
amendments to the bill. This was also
made applicable to other like amend
ments. such as that offered by Senator
Pettigrew for the abrogation of the Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty.
There was no dissenting view from this
policy. Senator's favorable personally to
the various amendments agreed with
those who were not. that, with the door
once opened to changes not pertinent to
the main subject of the bill. the end would
be indefinitely postponed.
The committee also disposed to some ex-
tent of amendments suggesting changes
OF the method of taxing transaction Of
stock and grain exchanges and Insurance
brokers. but decided to leave the provi-
sions relating to these subjects as they
now stand.
The only two changes of importance de-
cided upon relate to drugs and to re-
ceipts. The amendment regarding re-
ceipts exempts receipts for amounts below
s. and that in relation to drugs In a YER
bal change making clearer the meaning
of the committee that drugs and proprie-
tary articles should be taxed only when
sold.
There was also a virtual understanding
that II the German amendment should be
adopted by the senate there would be still
further changes in the stamp tax. as in
that event il will not De necessary to col
lect so large a sum on stamps. The COM
mittee is divided on the German amend
ment.
