wAIIAN RESOLUTIONS TO THE FRONT
BEFORE THE SENATE HAS ACTED
Washington. May 29.-Having decided at the
,aa, moment on Saturday to observe Memorial
Dav. the Senate will not be in session again
until Tuesday The Finance Committee WILL
however meet Monday in an endeavor 10
perfect the Revenue bill In minor details.
There is still no certainty as to when the vote
may be taken on the Revenue bill. 1t looks as
n the entire week would be spent upon H. anu
none OF the members Of the committee uhoef-
take to predict when the Senate Will hnish i's
! work. There are still several speeches. 10 DC
made on the bill and upon amendments ~ ~
nrobabla that there will be more or less DEBATE
unon the Lodge amendment for the annexation
~ Hawaii. and the Morgan amendment relat-
ing generally to the government OF anheNeu
territory.
Rn.h Senators Lodge and Morgan announce
their intention to make speeches on the SUBJECT
involved and Senators espousing the OPPOSITE
view declare their purpose to reply II the SUN
iect IL opened. Republicans generally preu'0'
that Senator Lodge will refrain from pressing
his amendment and it is the general opi'''o"
that ne will at least not go TO the extent OF ask
Ing 4 vote upon II, thus supJecl'hs '''S
70 a motion to lay upon the tabie.
There is not much doubt as to the shape III
which the Revenue bill will be passed by the
Senate The decisive vote or SATURDAY OH '"'
,or,orot,on tax amendment renders 1t quite GER
tain that all the Democratic afhenu'iie''
- eliminated from the bill. and that the Repub-
ucan suggestion for the issuance OF s'"'''''''
T., hords and 500 900 600 in time certificates will

o,.,s,o, The general impression about the
! Senate is that the House VIII accept the HiaJoi
rv ~ the Senate amendments, and that conse-
o,on,lv the bill will not be long in conference
With the Revenue bill disposed Of there may
h an effort TO secure an independent expression
