WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
On Motion Of Richardson Adopts an
Amendment for Conference.

Washington, Feb. s--The special
meeting Of the ways and means com
mittee for the purpose Of acting upon
the revenue reductions bin ended in
something Of surprise by the adoption
OF resolution submitted by the mi
minority through Mr.. Richard
son OF Tennessee for Disagree
ment to the Senate amendments IN bulk
and requesting a conference with the
Senate. This was an amendment TO the
majority resolution which did not pro-
VIDE for conference with the Senate.
The Republican members had been in
conference shortly before, hut fixed no
on exact program. Mr.. Grosvenor OF
OHIO. first moved TO report the bill back
10 the House with disagreement to
the Senate amendments and Mr.. Rich.
ardson followed with his amendment
adding the request for a conference
The vote on the Richardson amend
ment was first taken. All Of the Re-
publlcans voted against Il except
Messrs. Payne and Hopkins. who sim.
ply voted present. This would have de
feated the amendment had not Mr..
Babcock changed his negative vote 10
present. This left a tie. which was
broken when Mr. Payne, who had been
recorded as present, changed TO the
affirmative thus carrying the amend
ment.
The voting was accompanied by good
natured badinage. The effect of the
committees action. n concurred in by
the House. will be to bring about
conference for the final adjustment OF
the differences between the two houses.

THE MARCH KING.
Sousa Arrives This Morning and Gives
a Matinee This Afternoon.

~ have come to the conclusion that
America likes things better II Europe
has supplied them" said John Fhilip
Sousa at the Knutsford this morning,
"and must say that the band has
never before been accorded such recep-
tions as We have received on this Amer
lean trip, think perhaps the success
We met with IN European countries has
added interest to the band and It's con-
certs." When asked about the decora-
lions he received in Europe, Sousa said,
Il was given medal by the Royal
Academy Of Fine Arts OF Belgium. and
also diploma. and afterwards received
decorations az Munich and Cologne.
Flags were given Us at FrankfortAm-
sterdam and Berlin and at Paris We
were given a most beautiful American
flag, We did not give concerts In

to Europe we intend 10 visit that city.

For II.
VOTE ON SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
MIR. Frye Wants a Day Fixed for Put

sibiiity for Extra Session.

Washington, Feb. s-Soon after the
Senate convened today resolution pre-
Viously offered by Mr. Pettlgrew call
ing on the secretary Of war for a copy
of Gen. MacArthur's report as to the
conditions in the Philippines and for
other papers relating to to the Philip
pines, was adopted,
At the instance Of Mr.. Frye, (Malne)
consideration Of the shipping bill was
resumed Mr., Frye then appealed to the
Senate that time be fixed for the vote
upon the pending measure. He was ex-
ceedingly DESTROYS for a vote. Person.
ally he had no more desire for night
sessions than any other senator. He
hoped that the Senate might agree up
Oh some tinle for yote--a time far
enough off to permit the necessary lat
tltude for proper debate.
Mr.. Jones, (Ark) said he did not
think at this time any agreement could
be made for Il vote.
Mr.. Hale, (Maine,) said he could un-
derstand perfectly the Views OF those
opposed to the measure, but believed the
Senate would be indulgent as IL always
had been, with senators who desire TO
prepare speeches upon the measure,
lie suggested that the senator bear in
mind that the pending measure was in
effect a political measure and that the
majority would have to assume the re-
sponsiblity for it, He did not believe
there was any desire to hlibuster
against the bill
Mr.. Tilman, Is. CD, expressed his
admiration for the wisdom and Dip
lomacy always exhibited by the senator
from Maine, (Mr. Hale), and the pla-
cidity with which he had attempted to
smooth troubled waters here He In
quired, however, how the senators
could prepare speeches when they were
now under full head OF steam from
o'clock in the morning until Ii o'clock
at night,
Mr.. Hale believed those who desired
to prepare speeches would ind time to
do 50.
Mr., Prltchard IN, CD, spoke briefly
in favor Of the shipping bill and the ma
val appropriation was then taken up.
The night sessions Of the Senate
have been abandoned by the Republic
can minority for tonight and tom0r-
row. Ii is stated thai they may be
again held next week. The Republicans
say that IL the Republican majority is
willing and determined 20 go ahead
with the shipping bill, the minority
must take the responsibility OF forcing
