Washington. D. C. Oct. 14, Slight progress was mad by the Senate to day In considering the war revenue bill. The measure was-under review as to several features by tha Demo crats of the finance committee. ' Pros pects for the adjournment of Congress early naxt week -were subjected f& an other check by the delay. While tha committee worked on tha bin. the Senate was enlivened with a political debate by Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and Senator Lewis, of Illinois. The former assailed Democratic extravanganciea and de nounced war tax legislation as a cala mity and the latter ' defending the achievements of the administration. Senator. Penrose .asked, the Illinois Senator if he could give any assurance that a bill would be pressed to pro vide for only one term for executive officials, In accordance with the Demo cratic platform. understand the Senator from Pennsylvania has Aspirations for the presidency," said Senator Lewis, "and that he wishes to be assured now that his opponent would not be Woodrow Wilson." k Medicine Tax Removed. In their deliberations which extend Into the night, making a night session of the Benatei'lmpossible, Democrats of the finance committee averted con siderable forthcoming opposition by deciding to eliminate the proposed tax on proprietary medicines which would have yielded approximately 1,00,000 annual revenue. House leaders had given asusrances that this tax never would be accepted and the Senate had been flooded with protests against taxes on "the poor man's medicine." The Committee also--accepted - an amendment doing away with bills of lading in the express and freight ship ment of newspapers and to exempt from taxation newspapers shipped within the county of-publication. , Win Tax Agreed rpon. " Agreement was also reached on-the long disputed tax on domestic wines. The rates propoaed -tn the bill,-a agreed upon In caucus, were to cents per gallon on sweet wlnos and I cents on dry wines. An amendment agreed upon would fix a tax of So cents a gallon on brandy used in fortifying, wines. It would also amend present, laws to remove the restriction permitting the forti fication of wines only with brandy .manufactured on. the same premlsea The commltfee still has under con sideration a proposal to further in crease "the taxes on manufactures of tobacco. During the day Senator Hoke Smith submitted the amendment which would provide for a government issue of $250,000,000 In four per cent bonds for the purchase of cotton to relieva the cotton States. Discussion of the amendment--wtH--beg4av tomorrow Adloumment of Congress depends largely on the disposition of this amendment.- Southern Senators say they do not Intend to prolong debate, but It Is probable the matter will not be determined until next week.
