A Rough Estimate Places TIL
Revenue It Will Bring in at
100000.
The Proposal Not Relished in
Wall Street---Some Other
Changes.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-The provision
fer a tax on stock and bond transactions
in connection with the tariff bill, which
vas agreed upon at the caucus of Re.
publican senators, was suggested by
Senator Lodge (Mass.), and grew out of
a statement that with the tea and beer
provisions withdrawn, the tariff bill
was likely to fall short to the extent of
$3.50 0 900 in providing sufficient reve.
nue. to meet the demands Of the govern.
ment.
The suggestion as made by Mr.. Lodge
was that a tax of 2 cents per share
be levied upon every share or stock sold
at a stock exchange O at any other
place and that a similar tax Of
2 cents should be collected upon
all bonds sold on the stock
exchanges or elsewhere. The caucus
accepted the suggestion but decided to
leave the formulation Of the amendment,
with possibly a change Of rates, to the
finance committee. The committee
took the matter up at its early meeting
but did not reach a definite conclusion
as to the details involved in the PROPOSE
ton. A rough estimate places the
amount of revenue the provision will
furnish at $1,000, 600.
The caucus not only decided not to
impose the extra tax on beer, but it
also, at the suggestion of Senator Pritch-
ard, receded from the proposed changes
on manufactured tobacco, including
snuff and smoking tobacco, leaving only
the provisions in regard to cigars and
cigarettes Of the internal revenue
features Of the bill. A decision was
reached to make the rate on cigarettes
double that proposed by the finance
committee, or 81 per thousand On those
weighing less than 3 pounds per thou
sand, and increasing the rate for those
Of larger size.
Senator Elkins seconded Senator
Lodges efforts in behalf Of the tax,
making a vigorous speech and working
z~ealously for the proposition. 1t is now
understood that the amendment will
also provide for a stamp tax on all issues
of stock, whether when a company is
originally formed or it subsequently en-
larges its issue. The rate suggested is
5 cents per 800 Of stock.

EXPECT QUICK ACTION.

Tariff Bill Not Likely to BE in Conference
More Than u Week.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-When the tar
if bill reaches the house after it has
passed the senate it is not probable that
there will he any attempt to oppose the
motion which will be made either di-
rectly by Chairman Dingley or by the
operation Of a special order to disagree
to the senate amendments and send the
bill to conference. The estimate Of the
time the bill will be in conference ranges
from two to ten days, but the best opin.
ion is that the conferees will report the
bill back a week from next Monday, if
latter dav.

NOT RELISHED IN WALL STREET

Tax on stock and Bond Ira nsaCtioEs
Looked on With Disfa~or."
New YORK, July 3.-The news from
Washington that a tax on all stock and
bond transactions was contemplated by
the government, was discussed gener-
ally in Wall street. The more conser-
vative houses, especially those dealing
in investment securities, look with dis
favor on the scheme. President Eames
Of the stock exchange said the PROPOSE
ton was ill.advised.
John T. Terry, a director of the West
ern Union Telegraph and Manhattan
Railway companies, said he doubted the
constitutionality Of the measur and
thought it unfair and unjust in every
way.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The Republi.

been making a private effort or the
floor of the senate to secur a unani-
nous agreement to take a vote on the
tariff Tuesday next. The opposition
decline to agree to any date until the
proposed amendments are in. The
Democrats say that S far as they can
now see, they will have no objection to
fixing the date as soon as the Republi-
cans may wish but only hesitate out Of
abundance of caution to provide against
any possible surprises.

Athens. Feb. IL. - The warlike eX-
element here increased with the de
parture OF troops for the frontier and
the eqUipping of additional wal YES
sells for service in Cretan waters. No
body seems to doubt that n clash at
arms will occur between Greece and
Turkey unless the powers intervene,
but it is believed here that Greece will
be given a free hand In Crete and that
IL she succeeds in a%nneXing that ISL
and her right to do SO will not be lues-
toned by the rest Of Europe. 1t is
quite certain that King George has not
acted without consulting with his
friends in sending the torpedo fotilla
into Cretan waters with instructions
to prevent at all hazards the landing
Of Turkish troops in Crete.
The porte is understood to have ap-
pealed To the powers to restrain
Greece in this emergency. but nothing
further Is known Of the policy Turkey
Is adopting. though it is reported that
a large force of Turkish troops Is as
sembling at Salonika for e~mbarkation
to Crete. IT is known here that
Turkish officials in Crete have reported
to the porte that it is absolutely i'm
possible 10 piclIy the island without q
very large force Of troops and the oc-
cupation Of every town, village and
mountain stronghold in the country.
The hatred which has always existed
between the Mussulmans and the
Christians has been famed into fever
heat by the recent collisions between
the insurgents and the Turks. Con-
fiicts Of Il more or less serious nature
are reported from many parts of the
island, and Heraklion is said to have
been set on fire ut Il number of points.
The report that Great Britain will.
If necessary, take the initiative in pre-
venting the Greek war vessels from
actively interfering in Crete is not be-
lieved here. The insurgents of Crete.
acting in concert with the foreign con
suis. have declared Halepa to be neu-
trial territory which must not be in
fringed without t~wenty-four hours
notice.
The commanders of the foreign war
ships have obtained the promise of the
Greek admiral that he will give forty
hours notice Of any attack which he
may determine to make on Canea.
