Debate over ship subsidy bill and war revenue cuts in Senate
The minority on commerce reported to the Senate a lively session as Hela, a noted opponent, faced close scrutiny. Senator Hanna addressed the chamber for nearly three hours on the ship subsidy, drawing attention from both sides. Clay attacked the subsidy as a tax shift favoring faster vessels, illustrating inequities with comparisons between the Manhattan and St. Paul. The House debated the war revenue reduction bill amid dull discussions, while secret Senate session on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty continued and a holiday recess was set.

Congress Debates Tax, Treaty, and Pension Measures
In Washington and Weslington on December 15, lawmakers pressed tax revisions and treaty work. An amendment by Henry A. Smith of Michigan restored the express receipts tax while altering payment duties to the carrier. Lodge pushed for a Hay-Paunce treaty vote but yielded no final action. The House passed a war revenue reduction bill under party lines, voting down express-receipts tax proposals and approving a pension appropriation of 146,145,240. Underwood sought a separate vote on the Powers inheritance tax exemption for estates prior to 31, 7898.
