Tax on Stock transactions,
No Antitrust Amendment-No Tax Tea-Last o
Republican Tariff

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Repub-
lican senators held what they decided
should be their last caucus on the
tariff bill tonight The meeting con-
tinued for more than three hours and
which were not reached without the
display of considerable feeling Among
the points decided were the following:
To report no antitrust amendment;
to withdraw the original finance COM
mittee provisions for the duty on tea
and an increase of forty-four cents
per barrel i'm the tax on beer, and to
provide for a tax on bond and stock
transactions.
The greater part of the time was
given to the proposition for provision
against trusts. The discussion on this
question was opened by the judiciary
committee in opposition to any effort
to attach trust provision to the tariff
bill. The committee had held a meet
ing during the afternoon at which the
whole question was gone over at length
with other Republican senators, in
cluding Messrs. Hanna and Chandler.
1t was there decided that it would be
extremely difficult to secure legislation
that would be effective and that upon
the whole 1t was impolitic and unwise
TO undertake II. A report was made
accordingly to the caucus and a reso-
luton adopted authorizing the presen-
tation of an amendment providing in
express terms for the continuance in
effect of the terms of the Wilson law,
which makes it unlawful to form a
trust in imported articles.
This report called out some vigorous
protests, especially on the part of the
Western senators, but they were re-
piled to with spirit. 1t was asserted,
among other things, that the presenta-
ton of a new antitrust provision
would lead to long debate, which could
not be afforded at the present time.
Theesuccess of the proposition to re-
cede from the increased tax on beer
and the temporary duty on tea, led to
quite prolonged discussion of the
amount of revenue the bill would yield.
Many senators expressed the opinion
that the volume would not be equal
to the demands of the government. 1t

Lines of the Western Passenger
Association Interested.

NEW YORK, July 1.-As the result of a
series of conferences, an important combi-
nation has been formed by the principal trans
Atlantic steamship lines and the principal
Western railroad lines for the maintenance
of through rates for steerage passengers be-
tween points in Great Britain and the. West.
The lines that have entered into the compact
are the Cunard, White Star, American, An
Choir, and several other smaller lines. The
railroads in the arrangements the mem
bers of the Western Passenger association,
including the Canadian Pacific, but excluding
the Wisconsin Central, which refused to
join. The Allan and Dominion Steamship
lines also refused to become members of this
new body, which is called the Steamship
Agents association.
Regarding the rumor that a resolution had
been passed affecting steerage or other rates,
Secretary Sanford, of the North Atlantic
and Continental Steamship company, today
said: The only subject of consequence dis
cussed at Tuesdays meeting was that which
affects the Western sub-agents, especially
those Of Minneapolis They want to come in,
and have entreated Chicago agents to
intercede for them. We told them that if
they consented to charge actual tariff rates
and not cut rates we would consider their
application

Carter, Hansbrough and Quay, and
Messrs. Mantle, Stewart, Teller and
Kyle, voted with the Democrats in
the affirmative. Three Democrats,
Bacon, McEnery and Martin and MI.
Heitfeld, Populist, voted with the Re-
publicans in the negative
Mr.. Mantle moved to reduce the duty
on white pine from 81 to 81 per thou
sand feet. He read from the state
ment of lumber man that a So rate
would be prohibitory, and he appealed
to Democratic senators to vote united
ly and thus overcome this high rate.
The amendment was carried by the
close vote of 32 to 81, after another
break in party lines on both sides of
the chamber. On this vote Mr. Quay
returned to his party associates, and
Mr.. Hansbrough did not vote Two
Republicans, Baker and Carter, and
Messrs. Allen, Heitfeld, Kyle, Mantle,
Stewart and Teller voted with tha
Democrats in the affirmative. Three
Democrats, Bacon, McEnery and Mar
tin voted with Republicans against the
amendment
At 5:35 p. m. the bill was laid aside
and, after the executive session, the
senate adjourned.

their tools when the call is made for
suspension, which will be inside of a
week.
Braidwood, ILL.,, July 1.-The min
ers of the entire Wilmington field met
at Glacken's Grove today and decided
by unanimous vote to go on strike
when the national officers shall order
a suspension of work.
ing of miners here today voted unan-
imously to go on a strike and not wait
for a general suspension order. AS 4
consequence no coal is being mined
here and nearly 1000 miners are idle.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 1.-The exact
situation as to the miners strike may
be thus summed up: During the last
three weeks there has been so much
talk of the miners wanting strike
that at the meeting of the national ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers union, in Columbus last
week, it was decided to order one in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana
and West Virginia, but the order to
suspend work has not yet been sent
out. AS the Pittsburg district is the
pivotal point around which the coal
trade reVolves, a convention has been
called for Saturday. At this conven-
ton, it is thought, the miners will al
most unanimously vote for a general
suspension.

C. D. O'BRIEN,
Notary Public, Ramsey County, Mimi.
Mr.. Pyle made the formal presenta-
ton of the document to Judge Brill.
In doing so he explained in a few
words what the roll contained. He
also handed the court an official state
ment from the county auditor giving
the number of votes cast in the city
at last falls election according to the
official returns in his office.
Judge Brill asked if the record shows
the total registration at the last cleo
ton. Mr.. O'Brien said that under the
present election law no provision is
made for preserving records of regis
tratlon. Before each election a COM
plete new poll list is made out The
court understood that but thought Dos
sibly that some record of the registra-
tion was kept.
Judge Brill said he would consult
with the other judges about the petit
tlCn one OF the number, Judge Willis,
was away and would be out Of the city
for several weeks. 1t might be possible
that they would want to await his re-
turn before taking action.
Mr.. Pyle suggested that the longer
the time between the completion of the
work of the commission and the eIec-
ton following at which the charter
would be submitted to a vote of the
people, the better it would be, because
it would give the voters a better
chance to study and discuss it's pro-
visions before voting upon 1t.
The petition which was presented. in
addition to the names of 2,501 voters Of
st. Paul, contains the names of ten
business firms, but these, of course,
do not count for anything. There are
125 names more than the requirements
of the law, SO that if the judges find
some signature which they are in.

ator criticised the course Of the conf
mittee in placing white pine on the
dutiable list, thus encouraging the
destruction of pine when it was known
the supply would not last eight years.
Mr.. Teller said he was for protection,
but he would not carry it to extremes,
compelling every man building home
or using stick of pine to pay tribute
to the few owners of pine. This was
not Republican doctrine, which was
opposed to the advance of prices on
the necessaries of life. Mr.. Teller de-
clared that the duty on pine was one
of the many absolutely indefensible
features of this bill.
Senators Gray and Mantle supporte /
Mr.. Teller's motion Mr.. Speoner op-
posed it on the grounda that the duty
was fair measure OF prDtection to
an extensive industry of three border
states. This was not proposition to
place all kinds of lumber, those OF
Maine and the South and West, on
the free list, but merely to discrimi-
nate against the white pine of three
states.
The vote proved very CLOSE, the
amendment being defeated-yeas, 80;

was in response to this view that de
termination was reached to provide
for tax on stock and bond transac-
tions. The details of this scheme were
not agreed upon, but were left to tha
finance committee to perfect There
was decided opposition to a tax on
either ordinary bank checks or mort
cages.
1t appeared during the discussion of
this branch of the subject that the
committee had been supplied today
with estimates of the revenue the bill
would produce, made by WorthlngtOn
c. Ford who had given the opinion
that with an equal volume of imports
the bill would produce during the first
year of its operation more than $780,
O0O,O in excess of the returns under
the Wilson law for the first year it was
in existence. Senator Allison said,
however that these figures were mis-
leading as the imports could not be
expected to be so large and advised
his fellow senators on this account
not to accept them as any indication
of the possibilities of the bill
