THE SHIPPING SUBSIDY BILL
Senator Jones Denounces the Subsidy
Measure and the Attempt to Cause
Appropriation Bills to Fail to'
Force an Extra Session.
Bv Telegraph to the Horning Btar.
Washington, February 6. Two
important measures were disposed of
by the Senate, to-day, the Military
Academy Appropriation ; bill and the
War Revenue Reduction measure.
The former was under consideration
less than an ' hour. The only change
made in it was tLe strengthening of
the provision against hazing at Wi st
Point
During the remainder of the after-.
noon session the War Revenue Reduc
tion bill was before the 8enate. . a de
termined but unsuccessful effort was
made to reduce the tax on bank checks
and to provide that telegraph and ex
press companies should bear the bur
den of the tax on messages and pack
ages sent. The Finance Committee's
amendment levying a tax on transac
tions in so called "bucket shops," mod
ifying the tax on cigars and cigarettes
and providing for a rebate on un
broken packages of tobacco, in addi
tion to several others of a minor char
acter; were adopted.
An amendment substituting an in
come tax for the war revenue measure,
offered by Mr. Morgan, Alabama, was
rejected by a party vote of 21 to 88.
tSenator Atdrich. Rhode Island.
called up the war revenue reduction
bill, and it was read.
The first amendment added to the
words "promissory notes" (providiog
for the repeal of the stamp tax on such
instruments) the words "and any re
newals thereof. "
The second modified the paragraph
removing the stamp tax on bonds,
making it read as follows: "Bonds of
every description, not including, how
ever, the bonds provided for in the
first paragraph of Schedule A ot said
Act, or bonds for indemnifying any
person or persons, firm or corporation
who 'shall have become bound or en
gaged as surety for the payment of any
sum of money or for the due execu
tion or performance of the duties of
any office or position, to account for
money received by virtue thereof."
The amendments were agreed to.
The next amendment, including
"perfumery "and cosmetics" in the
section providing a penalty for failure
to affix stamps to medicinal and pro
prietary preparations. It was agreed
to.
Other amendments were offered and
agreed to as follows : Providing for
a rebate upon unbroken packages of
cigars and tobacco, authorizing the
cancellation of stamps on fermented
liquors by perforation, reducing by
one half the tax upon foreign bills of
exchange,, for the appointment of a
competent person to secure the en
forcement of the tax imposed upon
legacies and distributive shares of per
Bonal property; providing that the
purchaser of aa uncompounded medic
iaai drug upon which the tax already
bas been paid sball not be required
to pay further tax.
The amendment of the committee
fixing the tax upon transactions in
stocks through so-called "bucket
shops" was agreed to with an amend
ment ottered by -senator Mason pro
viding for a tax of two cents (instead
of one cent) "on each one hundred
dollars in value of the merchandise
covered or pretended to be covered."
Senator Aldrich explained that the
reduction of the revenue made by the
bill would amount to $39,800,000, ex
elusive of the effect of the new
amendment for taxing "bucket shops."
If each of the 25.000 bucket shops'in
the United States should pay $400 the
government would derive $10,000,000
from that source.
An amendment was agreed to pro
yiding that the tax-on new banks
shall be computed from the time the
institutions begin business.
An amendment reducing the tax on
bank checks from two cents to one
cent was defeated 18 to 42.
An amendment providing that the
internal revenue commissioner Bhould
place the stamps provided 'or in the
bill on sale at the poitomces ot tne
country was agreed to.
Senator Jones, Arkansas, moved to
eliminate from the bill the proposed
exemption from tax of telegraph and
telephone messages. Tne motion was
reiected 15 to 85.
Senator Morgan. Alabama, onerea
as an amendment to the measure his
proposition for an income tax, begin-
niDsr the first of next July and run
ning for twenty years. The amend
ment placed a tax of 2 per cent, upon
all incomes above 14.000 a year. The
amendment was in. the form of a sub
stitute for the pending bill and for the
war revenue law now in force. The
amendment was voted down 21 to 38,
The vote was strictly on party lines.
The bill was then passed without di
vision.
Senator Aldrich then moved that
rec-ss be taken until 8 o'clock.
When the Senate reconvened at a
o'clock, Senator Jones, Arkansas, re
marked : "JJy actual count mere are
just twelve Republican Senators pres-
ent. 1 suggest tne absence 01 a quo
rum."
Senator Frve demanded that the rol
of absent members be called, and other
Senators entered, including Senator
Hanna, who had risen from a sick bed;
Finally ' the chair announced mat
Quorum was oreseht.
Senator Frye then called up the
Shipping bill and it was laid before the
Senate.
Senator Jones declared tbat the
night sessions involved a deliberate
purpose to break: down opposition
Senators physically and prevent the
passage of the appropriation bills.
The Shipping bill, he asserted, was
the most perfectly detestable measure
presented to the Senate tor years, ana
was part of a great scheme to place
all the independent facilities under
one control.
"80 help high heaven," he shouted,
"if you will bave night sessions you
must have a quorum all the time, as
we do not propose to contribute in
any way to a tyrannical effort to sup
press free speech by brutal lorce.
Senator Aldrich, Rhode Island, re
plied that no appropriation bills were
pending. All that was asked, he said,
was that after full and free discussion a
vote be taken. The threat of the
Senator from Arkansas is that for the
first time in our history the minority
proposes to kill a bill by filibustering.
Senator Teller, Colorado, entered
his protest against holding night ses
sions to consider a bill "to loot the
treasury for the benefit of a few ship
owners." He would " be willing, ihe
said, to attend night sessions or long
day sessions to consider legislation for
the Philippines. It might be neces
sary, too, to take some action with
reference to Cuba, and in that con
nection he had heard, be said, 'rum-'
blings that the plighted faith of .this
government as to Cuba was to he
abandoned," -
6n tor Jones declared tho; Republi-
' majority does not dare to have the
I'osiii-nt call an extra session to pass
thv. Sfrfp Subsidy bill. 'If, however,";
he said, "5 ou can cause appropriation

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
Protest Against the Invitation to Presi
dent McKinley to Attend the Re
union at Memphis, Teno.
By Telegraph to the Morning Btar
Savannah, Qa., February 6. The
Confederate Veterans Association of
Savannah last night passed resolutions
against the invitation to President
McKinley to attend the re union of
Confederate Veterans in .Memphis.
All the resolutions recite that the,
association entertains profound re
spect for President McKinley and his
exalted station, but, "believing his
presence on this occasion, as the guest
of the city of Memphis, is sought by a
few of the citizens of Memphis to fur
ther their political aspirations, and
is derogatory to our idea of the proper
respect due to the President of this
nation and contrary to the spirit of the
U. C. V., partisan politics and all that
tends to it being strictly forbidden in all
meetings and re unions of the United
Confederate Veterans' organization,
the association calls upon General
Gordon, commander-in-chief, to name
some other city than Memphis as the
place for the re union, and says it not
send delegates to Memphis if the invi
tation to the President is adhered to.

IN PORTUdUESe TERRITORY.
The Boer Invasion British Guarding the
Delagoa Bay Railway.
By Cable to tne Morning Btar.
London, February 7. The Daily
Mail has the following from its Lisbon
correspondent:
"The King of Portugal is staying a
few days longer in London than he
originally intended, at . the express
wisn of King Edward. Mis visit is
likely to have important develop
ments. The Portuguese section of the
Delagoa cay railway is now in British
hands, but this is merely a temporary
arrangement between the govern
ments." -
Commenting upon the situation at
Delagoa bay and the evidence that the
Boers have penetrated twenty three
miles into Portuguese territory, the
Daily Mail expresses a belief that
British troops are now guarding the
Delagoa railway down - to the sea and
that it will be possible to send troops
by the Delagoa " route. It argues.
therefore, that Great Britain gains by
the Boer move.
