Poughkeepsie, n. Y, July 3.-Cornell
Friday evening won its third victory in

mile eight-oared shell race between the
Ithacans and Columbia and the Uni

the lead in the race at the first half-mile
and gradually increased it TO over nine
lengths over Columbia at the finish.
The Pennsylvania crew did not finish, as
its shell was swamped before the ga
mile point was reached. When Pennsyl-
vania's boat swamped 1t was over four
boat lengths behind Columbia. Cor
nell offered to row the race over again
with Pennsylvania this morning. This
courteous proposition was declined on

TO TAX BOND SALES.
Senator Lodges Plan for Increasing
the Revenues.


Washington, July 3.-The provision
for n tax on stock and bond transac-
tons in connection with the tariff bill,
which was agreed upon at the caucus
of republican senator's, was suggested
by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
and grew out of n statement that with
the tea and beer provisions withdrawn
the tariff bill was likely to fall short
TO the extent of $l5,000,000 in provid-
ing sufficient revenue 10 meet the de-
mands of the government.
The suggestion as made by Senator
Lodge was that a tax of two cents
per share should be levied upon every
share of stock sold at stock exchange
or Mt any other place, and that SINH
lar tax of two cents should be collected
upon all bonds sold on the stock eX-
changes or elsewhere. The caucus ac-
cepted the suggestion, but decided to
leave the formulation of the amend
ment, with possibly change of rates,
to the finance committee. The COM
mittee took the matter up mt its early
meeting Friday, but did not reach def.
mite conclusion as 10 the details in
estimate places the amount of rev.
enue the provision will furnish at ST.
600, 900.
Senator Elkins seconded Senator
Lodges efforts in behalf of the tax,
making vigorous speech and work
ing zealously for the proposition. 1t
is now understood that the amendment
will also provide for a stamp act on all
issues of stock, whether when COM
pany is originally formed or it subse-
quently enlarges its issue.
AS prepared by Senator Lodge, the
amendment provides for a tax of five
cents a share of 500 or fraction of the
face value of capital stock of bonds on
their issuance and Of two cents for each
500 or fraction on each transfer of
stock or bonds. United States and state
bonds are exempted, as are individual
bonds TO secure mortgages, and also
the stock and bonds of mutual benefit
building associations. The amendment
has been submitted to the republican
members of the judiciary committee
and approved by them as to form.
The caucus not only decided not to
impose the extra tax on beer, but it
also, at the suggestion of Senator
Pritchard, receded from the proposed
changes on manufactured tobacco, in
Guiding snuff and smoking tobacco,
leaving only the provisions in regard to
cigars and cigarettes of the internal
revenue features of the bill. A de-
cision was reached 10 make the rate on
cigarettes double that proposed by the
finance committee of two dollars per
thousand on those weighing less than
three pounds per thousand, and in
creasing the rate for those of larger
size.

tcnsive strike Of amalgamated iron work
ers announced July ] is Of this nature, but

With a better demand the employers will
seek agreement, and in its absence the
workers before long, so that the situation
is distinctly OF a midsummer character
Large hopes are built on prospective de-
mand after the tariff bill has passed hut
the pressure in the market Of large import
ing stocks may defer It. The general be-
lief is that removal of uncertainty will in
any case increase business.
THE iron and steel industry halts at
midsummer, although the demand for fin
ished products still increases and disap-
pointment is due only TO the fact that the
increase is not yet enough to keep all mills
at work, and thus 10 bring better prices,
which now average slightly lower than
ever before, though not one per cent
below those of March, 1895. The export
trade is increasing, and large order for
India has just been taken at a price said
to be s. below British bids. Coke produce
ton is increasing again, as more iron
furnaces are going into blast.
"Since much of the future depends on
crops, the Frightening prospects are Of the
highest Importance. Estimates by persons
usually most pessimistic now far exceed
any made a month ago, one promising
$50 coo bushels OF wheat with lower con-
dition. but largely increased acreage Of
corn. Cotton prospects are brighter. as the
crop appears to be early rather than late
in regions which were not flooded. A
strong effort to lift prices failed, and the
close is 1850 lower for the week, with corn
half cent lower. Cotton rose an eighth
