pccially animated. He had slim au
dience. Senators remaining in their
seats only when required to be there
to vote.
The results of the vote on the bill
had been long discounted. There was
no doubt Of its passage by the usual
finance committee majority.
Following several hours Of mon
otonous discussion Of the general
features of the tariff bill, the closing
hours were characterized by . spirit
ed controversary between Senator
Aldrich on the one hand and num-
ber of the insurgent Senators on the
other as to the standing Of Republi-
can Senators, who might cast their
votes against the bill.

WASHINGTON III, NOTES

Notwithstanding the fact that
Monday was a legal holiday the Sem
ate put in full days time, and bust
ness proceeded from 10 O'Clock in the
morning until 5:35 O'Clock in the
afternoon with 1punctilious regularity
and exceptional celerity. The result
was marvellous. Not since the tariff
bill has come into the Senate has so
much been accomplished within a
day. Indeed, when the sitting came
to an end summary of the proceed
ings showed that there was very lit
tie left to be done. The principal
item still to be considered was the
tobacco tax, the figures on; which had
not been completed by the committee
when the Senate adjourned.
There was only small part of the
members present when the House
met. Chaplain Couden offered a
prayer expressing patriotism appro-
pirate to the day.
A message from the President rec
ommending an appropriation to pay
the claim of a subject of Montenegro
for the loss of certain property in
Texas in 1865 was read and referred
to the committee on appropriations.
Completing the tariff bill in the
committee of the whole. that measure
was Tuesday reported to the Senate,
SO that legislation providing for Gus
toms duties is now regarded as on the
home stretch. The question was
brought to close temporarily by a
motion to adjourn for the day to af-
ford Senators an opportunity to look
over the reprint of the bill before TAX
ing further action. The adjournment
was with the understanding that when
the body reconvenes all sections of
the bill that Senators do not desire
to reserve for further amendment
shall be agreed to en- bloc. The Sen
ate will then consider the tobacco
tax, the only amendment not adopted
in the committee Of the whole. The
Senate logged along in uneventful
fashion, until Senator Smoot stated
that he had an amendment recom-
mended by the committee on finance,
fixing duties on tobacco. He sent it
to the desk to be read.
This preliminary procedure conclud-
ed, Senator Daniel, of Virginia, rank
ing minority member Of the commit
tee on finance, disputed the state
ment Of the Senator from Utah that
provision had been recommended by
the committee. He characterized it
as another fbogus committee amend
ment," stating that the minority
members of the committee had never
seen it until it had been completed.
Senator Bailey moved his income
tax amendment Wednesday as sub
stitute for the finance committee s
provision. A vote was taken upon it
and it was rejected by majority Of
10, the ballot being % to At.
With the corporation tax provision
thus established as a part Of the tar
iff bill, there was considerable effort
to amend it. In one notable case this
effort was successful. Senator Clapp,

unusual severity occurred Saturday
night, doing much damage to prop

city was left in darkness, which serv-

there was a great crowd at the Ma

unaccustomed to such violent storms
left their houses, seeking safety with

No time was lost Friday by the
conferees Of the House and Senate
in getting together to map out the
program for the many sessions that
must be held for the purpose of put
ting the finishing touches upon the
tariff legislation.
Chairman Aldrich, of the Senate
finance committee, and chairman
Payne of the House ways and means
committee, agree that is may be pos
sible to reach an agreement within
10 days, but are not sanguine of their
ability of getting the conference re-
ports adopted speedily after they
have been presented to the House and
the Senate.
An amendment by Senator john
son, of Alabama, declaring the inten-
tion Of the United States eventually
to grant independence to the Philip
pines was opposed as being out of
place, and was rejected.
By the adoption of House resolu-
tion, an invitation was accepted by

nearly meet the wishes of the great
est number of people and at the same
time raise sufficient revenue for the
expense of the government-that is
the task with which for four months
both houses of Congress have wres-
tied and which has now reached what
might be called the semi-inal, or con-
ference stage. Eleven men, five Re
publican Senators and six Rerubll-
can Representatives, have shouldered
the responsibility of evolving from
the two tariff bills passed by the Sen
ate and House, a law that will be ac-
ceptable not only to both houses OF
Congress but also to the President,
and above all, to the mass of the peo-
pie. While each would like to carry
its point it is realized that conces-
sions must be made and the Senate
and the House must get together.
Strong efforts will be made by Con-
gressmen and State officials to have
the President stop, for a few minutes
at least, at nearly all of the towns of
appreciable size through which his
train will pass in the daylight hours.
