There HtU Be No addition TdD on
These COnmOdities.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-The
Republican mem bers of the Finance Com
mIttee will withdraw the amendments
for an additional tax on beer and for the
duty of 10 cents a pound o. tea. In ex-
planation a member of the Finance Com
mittee said that the pressure for the with
drawal of these amendments has been
very great, and that many Repu blican
Senators have made decided stands
against them The formal action of the
committee on the subject has not been
taken, but the determination has been
reached.
The mem bers of the committee are still
in doubt as to what shall be done as TO
increases on tobacco in the internal rev.
enue part of the bill, but there has been
great pressure to have these taxes re-
duced. The question of revenue is giving
the com mittee considerable concern, and
If there should be a withdrawal ol the IN
creases in tobacco as well as those on beer,
the bill would not meet the needs OF the
Government as a revenue producer. For
n reason it has been practically deter
mined to make bank check stamp tax,
and the question of additional revenue by
means OF a system of stamp taxes on beer
has been under consideration. The COM
mittee is considering these questions.

Local Sports Fail TO Understand Betting
ffuctuati9ns.
The excitement which was created
among the sports of this City over the
Sharkey- Maher fight in New York was al
most as great as when Corbett and Fitz-
simmons fought in Carson last March.
The consensus OF opinion yesterday was
that Sharkey would stay he full limit of
the battle, which was announced to be
twenty-five rounds, unless the police in
terfered.
The betting here opened about one
week ago al $40 to $4. with Maher on the
long end; but as time wore on Sharkey
moved 10 the front, and his stock ad-
vanced rapidly, which caused many sports
to think that there was something rad
lcally wrong.
Yesterday MANY pools were sold at SO
to 50, with Maher the favorite, but as the
time drew near for the fight the support
ers of Maher were numerous, and the bet
ting closed at $40 to 81 so, with Sharkey on
the short end.
The fight, like all of the sailors battles,
ended very unsatisfactory to people,who
took an interest in the battle.
a rumor was circulated before the men
entered the ring last evening that Jimmy
Colviile, he Boston referee, was a par
ticular friend of Dan Lynch and carp,
and that II Sharkey should fail at any
point OF the game 10 score lead and that
if his chances of defeating Maher were
slim the police woIld interfere and stop
the fight.
Judging from the telegraphic reports it
appears that the police had received in
structions, as they stopped the fight az a
time when the con estants were not pun
ished TO any extent. In fact, they had
only warmed up the heat OF battle, but
as Maher had put Sharkey down and was
figuring on giving him his quietus the
authorities thought it was time to call a
halt and thereby save those who backed
Sharkey the loss of a pot of money.
This is another instance where
Sharkey's good fortune came TO his
rescue. He did not punish Maher TO
amount to anything and Peter was wait
ing an opening to do with Sharkey as he
had done with Choynski
Doubtless he wolld have put Sharkey to
sleep + another round was allowed
The fighters, the club under whose
auspices the fight was held and the pool
sellers will make money out of the
scheme, but the spec ators who paid good
money TO see the fizzle and those who bet
on he mill will get the worst of a very
unsatisfactory contest

sion.
This was lost by a vote of Is to 81,
and Mr.. Allen resumed his speech.
There was much comforting among
senators. Mr. German approached Mr..
Allen, and, after a hurried converse
ton between the two, Mr.. Allen an
nounced that he had been informed
that the opposition to the bill were
about ready to capitulate," and that
he would yield to Mr.. Morgan.
When Mr.. Morgan addressed the
chair he was surrounded by. a major
lty of the senators in the chamber who
had congregated in his vicinity in an
ticipation of what he was to say. The
Alabama senator proposed final vote
on the conference report tomorrow at
o'clock. He said he resented the
method that had been pursued in Sc
curing the passage of the bill. 1--WE
have, he said, been under coercion by
the house from the beginning of this
legislation" Nevertheless, he said, he
recognized the propriety Of allowing
the majority Of the senate to have it's
will registered. He then suggested an
unanimous agreement for recess until
10 o'clock tomorrow, and a vote at
o'clock in the afternoon.
Good, good" exclaimed many of the
senators.
He was willing, he said, to remain all
summer If other senators would stand
with him in the fight upon 1.-The iniqui-
tcus duties upon lumber and cotton
ties" but he appeared to be confronted
by situation rather than a theory. He
found himself practically alone and he
did not care to have the batteries of
the press gallery concentrated entirely
upon himself

objection to the agreement for a vote
tomorrow and none was raised 1t

the yield from the new region answers
current expectations, it may have al:

but negotiations for a settlement are
still pushed with hopes
The wheat market is the sensation OF

but the close was * of a cent higher

foreign conditions and demand. Actual

a gain. The demand has somewhat in
