corporations and other varied business in
terests," said Mr.. Allen, 'Is to create void
which may be filled by an enormous in
crease in the Understanding indebtedness
of the United States"
He declared that there was not the
slightest necessity for the issue Of bonds
at this time. The debts caused by the war
ought.to be liquidated without the creation
of debt.
In concluding his speech Allen took
strong ground against any proposed alli-
ance between this country and Great Brit
ain, declaring that he would oppose It with
all his power, until England should give to
Ireland what the United States gave its
people-home rule.
Caffery of Louisiana presented an ex-
tended legal argument against the pro-
posed tax upon corporations, taking ground
similar to that assumed by Plat of Con-
necticut and Lindsay Of Kentucky yester-
day.
At the conclusion of Cafferys speech,
Morgan of Alabama moved to lay the
pending amendment, that of Mr.. McEnery
of louisiana exempting from the corpora
ton tax limited liability corporations en-
gagged in farming and planting, upon the
this point Allison of Iowa expressed the
hope that some understanding might be
reached whereby the debate should be
concluded this week. He was satisfied that
one day faithfully devoted by the senate
to the bills consideration would be suff1c-
lent time to conclude the debate. He then
completed on Saturday next before ad-
journment Of the senate.
Teller objected.
Daniel of Virginia did not concur with
those who thought the bill could be COM
pleted this week. If certain provisions in
the bill were stricken out he had other
amendments to offer which would certainly
lead to some debate. He did not think any
necessity for haste existed.
Teller said he did not know that the bill
could be disposed of this week, but he de-
sired ample time for its discussion. He
had no disposition unduly to delay vote
upon 1t. but he was not to be moved "by
the insane clamor for haste" The govern
ment would get all the money It needed and
get 1t in plenty of time.
Allison desired it to be understood that
1t was no part of his purpose to prevent
full and free discussion of the BILL, but he
tnOuSnL that the HSdSure ought u pe ulS-
posed of as soon as possible. He gave
notice that he would endeavor after today
to secure longer sessions of the senate.
White of California, on taking the floor
in order to speak tomorrow morning, ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be easily
possible for congress to complete its work
and adjourn within two or three weeks
The senate then decided to convene at
| II a. m. tomorrow.
Bills were passed as follows:
Granting additional powers to railroads
created by laws of the United States and
operating lines in the Indian territory and
appointing commissioners to revise the
statutes relating to patents, trade and
other marks and to trade and commercial
| names.
At o'clock the senate went into executive
session and adjourned.
