Senator CannOn's Amendment to the
Tariff BILL.


Senator Cannon of Utah yesterday Of
fered the following as an amendment to
the tariff bill: "And from and after sixty
days from the passage of this act there
shall be paid out of any moneys in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated, to
any exporter of wheat or wheat flour rye
or rye flour. corn ground or unground, cot
ton. hops or tobacco produced wholly in
the United States and exported by sea
from any port in the United States to any
port of any other country the following ex-
port bounty, by way of an equalization to
agriculture of the benefits Of this act to
encourage the industries of the United
States, to wit: Ten cents per busnel on
wheat. 50 cents per barrel on wheat -four
10 cents per bushel on rye, 80 cents per
barrel on rye flour, cents per busnel on
corn, 1O cents per Genital on corn, ground

Treasury is hereby charged with making
and enforcing such regulations as may be
necessary for the full protection of the ex-
porters and of the government, accordiry 2
to the true intent and meaning of this
law"
This amendment is the result of a con-
some democrats and may be said to repre-
sent the sentiments Of the element in the
Senate which puts silver above all other
subjects of legislation.

amendment for bounty on agricultural
exports and spoke briefly. He said the
pending bill offered no protection to agri-
cultural staples. The passage Of the bill
without any protection to the farmer
would be a rank injustice and would be a
violation of the pledge which the victorious
party made in its platform to the voters
last year.
If the bill shall fail to give some measure
Of justice to the farmer then he will over
throw 1t at the first opportunity, declared
Mr.. Cannon.
1t was singular fact, commented Mr.
Chandler, that the Utah senator had long
supported protective tariff, and now con-
cluded that the system he advocated was
robbery.
Mr.. Cannon responded that in his guile
lessness as a republican he had accepted
the entire protective idea. but now, with
the responsibility of weighing the merits
of every protective proposition, he insisted
on equalizing the advantages, SO that the
farmer would receive a share.
At 5:15 pm. the Senate went into execu-
tive session, and soon after adjourned.

Graceful and Skillful EvolutiOns by
Many Children.
Caruana's dancing class repeated its May
ball at the National Rifles Armory last
night before a large and enthusiastic au-
dience. The entertainment was put on in
precisely the same way that it was pre-
sented at the Academy some time ago,
and, although, of course the theater stage
and its accessories lent an additional
charm at that time, the arrangement of
the light, the costumes and every needed
feature last night was all that could pos
sibly be desired. The group dances, for
which Caruana has a special reputation,
were excellently arranged, and as we'll
carried out, the costumes in all probability
being the finest ever seen here In an affair
OF this kind. The program was a lengthy
one, comprising neerly forty numbers, but
1t was enjoyable in every feature, and its
degree from its excellence. Some of the
group dances which deserve especial men,
ton were the Little Puck and Oriental
ballets, the 'Revelry of the Demons" the

ble-faced character quartet. Several spe-

ure on the program, however, was the
serpentine dance of Miss Marie Howe,
which earned for her most emphatic en-
core. The arrangement of the light, her
management of the intricate folds of the
costume which she wore and the original
ard graceful movements which she intro
dUced were deserving of the highest praise.
Miss Howe also in the earlier part of the
program gave the Chicken Song" with
good effect. The other solo dancers who
deserve especial mention were Alice Nor

hence, be worth between $4,000 and So, 600

not pick up at least one stray bicycle on

its owner occasions considerable trouble.
Some members of the force think there
should be a law compelling owners to pay
for this work. 1t frequently happens, the
police say, that wheelmen will visit drink
ing saloons and remain inside so long that
they forget about their wheels. In cases of
this kind, the police believe. the owners
should be required to pay fee of s.. the
amount charged by the poundmaster for
