Among those who participated in these

Finance; Frye, president pro tern, of the
Senate. Lodge, a leading member of th*
Foreign Relations Committee; Flatt of
Cannootkot, * member of the Finance
Committee, and Hale, rb.iirman of the
Coni mx te* on N ival AIT airs.
Prominent in their deliberations were
the contemplated atnendm. uts to the war
revenue law. Scnutors Aldrich, Allison
and Plat: were together for some time on
this lauer subjects and had with them
Representative** Payne and Dalsell f the
Hons** Committee on Way and Aleunm.
It wa s4hinl at the ik>s> of this tnU
that the discussion had been on very
general lines, and that as the House peo.

the treasury estimates had not been re

making the revision so tltorough as to re.

of having it considered of a temporary

They expressed the opinion that what
ever changes an* to be made should be
noide at the present session in order to
prevent the reopening of the subject at
*he next stsw-sion of Congr*ss. as they
think that If the question should en

They also gave some indication of their
views of thr changes to he mad*. In a

large revenue and leaving It on the more
productive articles. Tie* tendency reem
ed io tie against ony removal of the beer
or tobacco taxes, and also against the re
moval of the tax on exchange transac

There wa* also considerable discussion
of the shipping subsidy bill, and It was

"Deepite the cordial reception given Ad
