WAYS AND MEANS
Committee Will Not Meet Saturday as
was Announced.

Washington. Nov. 3O.-Chairman
Payne of the ways and means com
mittee issued notices today, recalling
the previous notice of a full committee
meeting tomorrow, TO consider the bill
for the reduction of the war revenue.
The reason that the committee will not
meet tomorrow, it is stated, is because
further information is desired rs to the
views of the Republican members gen.
orally in reference to this bill such
features of the measure prepared by
the Republican members as have be-
come known have caused considerable
opposition. and it is probable that q
can members Will be held before a final
decision is reached. The greatest oppo-
sition that has developed comes from
the brewing interests. Representatives
from districts where there is a great
deal of beer manufactured are making
serious protests against the action Of
the committee in not reducing the tax
on beer. There are some other interests
also making protest. The fact that the
majority in the present House is only
Is. warns the Republican management
that a bill must be supported by prac-
tically the entire Republican member
ship in order to pass. If Gen. Grosven-
or arrives tomorrow it is possible that
the Republican members now in the
city may make request for Z caucus
to be held early next week.

With reference to the canal bill tl,er,.
was manifest some disposition to have

that the canal legislation should be
confined TO an authorization to acquire

Senator Frye during the day was also
in consultation concerning the shipping
bill with the Representative Merchants
Association of New York, who argued
that as the bill stands 1t will be iniu-
rious to the export trade, while rep
resentatives of the New York and Pa
cific steamship companies who were
also with the senator. expressed the
opinion that unless full subsidies were
granted to foreign built ships they
would be operated at loss.
Senator Frye said the bill was now
in as perfect shape as seemed possible
to get it. and that he did not see the
advisability of making any amend
ments. For the present the meeting of
the committee on commerce will occur
to consider the bill in any particular.
There was more or less discussion
during the day of the wisdom of filing
the committee vacancies caused by the
deaths of Senators Davis and Gear.
Senator Frye reiterated his desire to
remain at the head of the committee
on commerce I'D his aversion to accept

at the proper time will press him for
the position.
In case Senator Cullom should be
transferred, Senator Chandler would
