In his discussion of the last feature Teller drew out the fact that n amendment was to be offered to the Dbi tax of one-half of 1 per cent on certain large corporations. Teller dwelt largely upon the proposition to levy an income | | tax. He had not concluded his argu- ment when the bill was laid aside in order that eulogies might nounced upon the late Senator Wal- thall of Mississippi. White delivered an extended speech cov- ering pretty fully the general features of the bi pecially those relating to the tax on sorations and on inheritances. The consideration of the bill, he said, had eailsted the attention of the country, and m people were becoming restless be- cause a final vote had not been reached. He thought, however, that the delay was due to the peculiarity of the pending enue bill, upon which the Qv s conducted, was a com- plicated instrument, utterly inapplicable to present conditions.” The object of the lenged the attention and support y member of both branches of Congre All_are united to present a solid front to the foreign foe.

He did not believe, however, that any Sen- ator on any side of the chamber would be influenced by a demand so selfish. He objected to the issue of bonds at this time because bonds were unnecessary and be- ause a great majority of the people re opposed to them, believing they would increase too greatly the burdens of the country. In conclusion White de- clared that it would be the plain people who would not only offer up their lives in defense of the national honor, but who would also pay the bulk of the taxes for the conduct of the war. He appealed to | Senators to permit the bill to pass in such form as would distribute with reasonabie equity the burdens it imposed and to lay taxation that would be fair to the Amer- fcan people and would reflect honor upon the Senate. ‘While the special order was pending a bill was reported by Sewell providing for the employment of retired army officers during the war. It was passed. At the conclusion of the eulogies the Senate, as a further mark of respect, ad- Jjourned until 11 m. to-morrow. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
