called forth a sharp rejoiner from
Chairman Aldrich of the finance COM
mittee, in which he undertook to re-
mind the Independent senators that
being in the minority they were with
out authority to speak for the Repub-
lican party. He declared especially
that there was no justification in their
use of the name Of the president in
support of their position. Senators
Crawford, Clapp and Nelson respond
ed with spirit, contending for their
right to vote in accordance with the
dictates of their own judgment and
conscience. All declared with vehe-
mence their independence Of the
Rhode Island senator. and Mr.. Nelson
asserted that "after the little state
Of Rhode Island has disappeared from
the map. Minnesota will be casting
her 100000 Republican votes"
Nssther Rhode Island nor the Rhode
Isle~sks senator could. he said. tell
NJ. Ord her senators what they
shou.> To-. .eral senator's indicated
that. that thes The Su rave more & to say
the bill.
1t is very likely he first thing
agreed to in conference will be the
reductions on necassaries of life and
raw materials made in the house bill
by the senate. The increases made by
the senate on certain luxuries proba-
bly, will offer temporary barrier to
an early agreement in conference be-
cause of the contention that these in
creased rates will prove prohibitive,
and will materially reduce the rev.
enue.
The house conferees will insist on
the house rates on hosiery and gloves,
which were advanced decidedly over
the Dingley rates. The latter were
restored by the senate. The senate
leaders desire to retain the Dingley
schedule on wool, and there are some
increases in the cotton schedule which
will also be strongly contended for.
In order that the senate rates on
these articles may be retained the
senate conferees may yield to the
house on hosiery and gloves.
The most difficult questions to be
decided in conference are the rates
on those articles regarding which
there is decided difference of opinion
within both the senate and the house.
The majority of. the house seems to
favor free hides, while the advocates
of a duty on hides in the senate are
in the lead. The lumber schedule is
another regarding which the differ
ence of opinion is nearly balanced.
While the senate has radically
changed the administrative features
of the house bill, it is not thought
that there will be any great difficulty
experienced in adjusting those sec
tions to the satisfaction of the leaders
of the house and senate.
Last Scenes.
The bill passed the senate just after
IL o'clock last night by vote of as
to "a. Republicans voting in the
negative were:
Beveridge, Indiana; Bristow, Kan
'sas; Brown, Nebraska; Burkett, Ne
braska; Clapp. Minnesota; Crawford.
South Dakota; Cummins, Iowa; Dol
liver, Iowa; LaFollette, Wisconsin,
Nelson Minnesota.
McEnery of Louisiana was the only
Democrat recorded in the Affirmative.
AS 1t passed the senate the bill con-
tains almost four hundred paragraphs.
The senate made $40 amendments to
the house provision, many of which
were added yesterday. The enrolling
clerks say that they will probably
not be able to complete their labors
before late today, so it may not be
presented to the house before Satur-
day.
The senate sat yesterday from 10
o'clock in the morning until late last
night. stopping neither for luncheon
nor dinner. In the main the day was
devoted to actions upon amendments.
The most interesting occurrences
Of the sitting were the adoption of
amendments by Senator Bradley of
Kentucky and Senator Curtis of Kan
sas, the former exempting tobacco,
"in the hand" from the internal reve-
nue. tax of 6 cents pound, and the
latter placink countervailing duty
on crude petroleum shipped from
countries which impose duty on oil
importations from the United States.
The action on tobacco was real sur
prise. The senate had frequently re-
fused to remove the tax. A large
number of minor amendments were
added by the finance committee, but
most of the changes suggested by
other senators were laid on the table.
The result of the vote on the bill
had been long discounted as there was
no doubt in it's passage by the usual
finance committee majority.
Senate COnferees.
Upon motion by Mr.. Aldrich the
vice president announced the senate
conferees as follows: Senators AID
rich, Burrows, Penrose, Hale, Cullom.
Republicans, and Daniel, Money and
Bailey, Democrats.
