Internal Revenue Revision Will Be
Made Thorough.
The Subsidy Bill To Be
Pushed.
Senator Frye Taking the Lead
i'm This Matter.

Washington, November 3o.-A number
OF Republican senators were at the Capt.
toll today In informal conference concern
ing the business likely to come before
Congress. Among those who participant
ed In thess meetings were Senator ALL
son, chairman of the committee on APP
propriations; Aldrich chairman Of the
COMMITTEES ON finance; Frye, president
pro tenn OF the Senate; Lodge, leading
member of the foreign relations commit
tee; Plat of Connecticut. and Hale,
chairman OF the committee on naval
affairs.
Prominent In their deliberations
were the contemplated amendments TO
the war revenue law. Senators Aldrich,
Allison and Platt wero together for some
time on this latter subject, and with
them were Representatives Payne and
DalzelI OF the House committee on ways
and means 1t was stated at the close
of this talk that the discussion had been
on very general lines, but that no CON-
olusion had been reached.
The senators expressed themselves as
favorable TO making the revision SO Tho
rough as to relieve the work entirely of
the possibility OF being considered of a
temporary character. Their Views in
general way favored the removal OF the
extra tax from articles not returning
large revenue, and leaving 1t on the
more productive articles. The tendency
seemed to be against any removal OF beer
or tobacco taxes and also against the re-
moval Of the tax on exchange transac-
lions.
There was also considerable discussion
of the shipping subsidy bill, and 1t was
made evident that there would be u
strenuous effort to have this measure
made the unfinished business IN place
of the Spooner bill for the regulation Of
public administration in the Philippines.
There Is said Co be no doubt now that
this substitution will be attempted at
the first meeting OF the committee on or
der of business.
Senator Frye is giving his especial at
tention to this subject, and expresses his
determination to crowd the bill as fast as
possible. The effect of this decision will
be to leave the Philippine questions en-.
tirely In the hands of the President. II
this programme can be carried into exc
oution, the Nicaragua canal bill will
also be displaced, at least temporarily
With reference to the canal bill there was
manifest some disposition to have 1t wait
action on the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, and
the suggestion was made that the canal
LEGISLATION should be confined to an au-
tnorization to acquire proper right Of
way for tine canal.
Senator Frye during the day was also
in consultation concerning the shipping
bill, with representatives of the Mer-
chants Association OF New York, who
argued that as the bill stands, 1t win be
injurious to the export trade. while rep
resentatiyes OF the New York and Pacific
steamship companies who were also with
the senator, expressed the opinion that
unless full subsidies were granted to for
eign built ships they would be operated
