Those who refused to resign it is said insisted on main- tanng the present International policy, while the party leaders and other ministers insisted on changes.
 At the meeting the offering of port folios to deputies Gallo and Melo was discussed, although at the present time they are not supporting the president. The conferees also dis cussed the advisability of calling in men independent of party affiliations.

PLANS DETAILED
 FOR REVISION OF
 REVENUE MEASURE

Washington, Nov. 22.--Reductions aggregating $500,0O0000 ill the yield from the new war revenue bill were made today by the Senate Financt Committee in revising the measure downward to the six billion dollar total for 1919, proposed by Secretary McAdoo. The decrease was confin- ed principally to tobacco, luxury, execise schedules.
 Among the more important deci- sions today were elimination of the luxury schedule proposed ill the house bill. levying 20 per cent on costly articles of clothing and other merchandise and estimated to raise $1S4 ,795,000; elimination of the house tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline, estimated to yield $40,000,000; reduc- tion from 10 to 5 per cent, or about $2OO,OO0,000 in revenue in rates on many articles classed as semt-luXu- ries and a reduction of about one half ill tho house ratts on tobacco, cut of about $5i,000,000 ill revenue.
 The committee deferred decision on tho plan suggested by Secretary Me Adoo and specifically presented yes- tcrday by Chairman Simmons, for incorporating in the measure speci fife rates for 1920 taxation, by which the total revenue yield would be H. mited to $4,000,000. Republican members still vigorous ly oppose legislation for 1920 and the committee decided to pass that ques tion temporarily. Tomorrow 1t will resume revision of the miscellaneous taxes with d view to cutting off an- other $500.000,O00 necessary to re- ducc the whole to six billion dollars.
 Detailed Plan Submitted
 l, A detailed plan for revising the pending war revenue bill so as to im- pose taxes and provide revenues ag- gregating about $6,000,000,000 next year and $4,000,000,000 ill 1920, in line with Secretary McAdoo's rec concentrations, was submitted yes tarday to the Senate Fsinauce Con- mittec by Chairman Slmmons.
 A decision on the plan was dcfeT- red, but vote may be reached to- morrow. Republican members wig orously opposed the. proposal to es- tablish 1920 tax rates in the measure, but Chairman Simmons said they were advised that if they obstruct the majority's plan to provide 1920 taxation. d straight levy of 80 per cent on war profits. to furnish the government necessary revenues, will be put through.
 Senator simmons plan to reduce the bill to. $6,000,0 ,000. .000 for 1919 proposes retention of the House ra- tes on inconts and war excess pro- fits, except the $ per cent differen- tial on undistribpted corporation esyrinSs; elimination of tbs 20 per
