 a Retaliation.
STRIKES AT BLACK LIST
Interference of Foreign Nations with Ships of American Nation Is
 Objected to.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-orastlc amendments to the revenue bill, of retallatory character, striking at tho Englsh and French blacklist of certain American business houses engaged in foreign commerce, and British lnterferences with American vessels, were adopted late yester- day by the Senate.
 These adoptions created oonster- nation among the diplomatic repre- sentatives of the British and French.
 In Allied headquarters it was de- clared that the enactment of the amendments into laws of the United States, would constitute nothing less than a non-intereourse act and a preliminary to commercial warfare with possible far.reaching eonse- quenees.
 It has been known for some weeks that the Senate leaders and the var ious committees. alec the State De- partment have not been satisfied with any explanation of the black liot act nor of the interference of American chipping by either the British or French governments. lt ls true that several American firms have already been withdrawn from tho British and French blacklist but purely for business reasons, it io stated.
