The bill will probably be in shape
70 be sent to the House some time
tomorrow, but 1T is not improbable
that the hour will be so late that
the House will have adjourned before
the measure can reach Il. In that
event it will be presented on Satur-
day.
AS 1t passes the Senate the bill con-
tains almost 500 paragraphs. The
Senate made $40 amendments to the
House provisions. Consequently the
enrolling clerks are finding the prep
aration of the bill for the House an
arduous task. They have been fol-
lowing as closely upon the heels of
the work we'll in hand. but say that
they will probably not be able to
complete their labors before late to-
morrow.
The Senate sat continuously to-day
from ten o'clock in the morning UNI
III late tonight, stopping neither for
luncheon nor dinner.
The most interesting occurrences or
the situation were the adoption ot
amendments by Senator Bradley OF Ken
lucky and senator curtis or Kansas
the former exempting tobacco lin the
hand" from the internal revenue tax of
six cents a pound, and the latter placing
a countervaing duty on crude petroleum
shipped from countries which impose a
duty on oil importations from the United
States The action on the tobacco was
real surprise. The Senate has frequent
ly refused to remove the tax.
large number of minor amendments
were added during the day by the finance
committee, but most of the changes suC-
gested by other senators were laid on the
table.
The closing scenes in the Senate cham
Der were tame indeed Mr.. La Toilette s
speech was earnest, but not especially
animated. He had slim audience on
tie floor and the galleries We're not
crowded. Senators remained III their
seats only because required to be there
to vote.
The result Of the vote on tho bill had
been long discounted as there was no
doubt of It's passage by the usual finance
committee majority.
