The failure of the senate to keep the
promise made to the people by the
Republican party respecting a revision
of the tariff downward was the themo
of Senator Beveridge as the debate on
the pending bill was drawing to
close.

harmony with our party's pledges as
voiced by our party's leader and the
national president"
Mr.. Beyerdge was answered by Mr..
Aldrich. who said he had often seen
men interpret their own judgment as
the Judgment of their party.
1.-The Republican party is a party of
majorities," he added, Cand the views
of the majority in matters of legisla-
tion control party policies. The senator
from Indiana does not speak for the
Republican party. He has no right to
call here the name of the president of
the United States in support of any
suggestion which he has made"
MIR. Aldrich declared the pending bill
was fulfllment of the party's pledges
II senator's wished to vote against the
bill, he said, they should not attempt
to speak for their party
Mr.. Crawford delivered n vigorous
protest against any attempt on the
part of Chairman Aldrich to prevent
Republican senators from the exercise
of their judgment.
ut will take more than the senator
from Rhode Island to read the state of
Minnesota out of the Republican par
ty," said Mr.. Nelson, amid applause,
which called down the gavel of the vice
president with an announcement that
such expressions were not permitted.
He said he did not care to be lectured

and passed, As to "a.
On motion of Mr.. Aldrich the vice
president announced the senate con-
ferees as follows
Senators Aldrich, Burrows, Penrose,
Hale, Cullom. Republicans; Daniel

The senate then adjourned at 11.1S

Protracted Session Expected
A depressing suggestion of pro-
traeted session of the senate to con-
clude the consideration of the tariff bill
was contained in a motion presented by
Senator Aldrich as soon as the senate
convened today.
With the experience of last nights
session in mind, Mr.. Aldrich moved to
amend the order of procedure by strik-
ing out the provision for an automatic
adjournment at o'clock. This was
agreed to without objection.
There was no effort to reach an un-
derstanding as to the hour but the gem
eral feeling was that whether early or
late, the measure should be disposed Of
before leaving the senate chamber.
1t had been supposed that much time
would be consumed in the discussion
Of the tobacco tax, but even before that
item was reached 1t had been arranged
that there would be comparatively little

schedule. The uncompleted corporation
tax provision was the first subject of
the days consideration, and Senator
Daniel resumed the speech he began
yesterday His remarks were in de-
Tense of his amendment levying a tax
of one-quarter of 1 per cent on the
gross receipts of corporations having a
capital stock OF more than 100000.
Source Has No Influence
1--WE have worthy man in the presi-
Dental chair" declared Mr. Daniel, "a
judicial man of great mind and of great
heart. / have no sentiment of opposi-
tion to the pending proposition because
of its source. On the contrary, l look
to 1t as of the highest responsibility"
Mr.. Bacon suggested that the Vir-
ginia senator change his plans for tax
ing corporations to make it apply also
10 corporations that have gross re-
ceipts of more than 100000 annually
on suggestion of Mr.. Daniel, Mr.. Ba-
con offered his amendment as an
amendment to the proposition by the
Virginia senator.
II move to lay the amendments on
the table," curtly interposed the chair
man Of the finance committee, and af-
ter q brief tilt between Aldrich and
Bacon the amendments were gently
laid away.
other amendments to the corporation
tax amendment were disposed of in the
same way.
The corporation tax amendment as
perfected by the committee then was
agreed to, and Mr.. Aldrich announced
that with the exception of the tobacco
tax the bill was perfected so far as
committee amendments were con-
cerned.
