time 1t was believed this could be done
within two years.
Mr.. White criticised the provision that
reciprocity treaties shall ''be approved 10y
congress-"
Congress had the power to raise or low.
or duties without waiting to approve a
treaty, and he declared this provision
would arouse criticism on the mental abil-
tiles of the congress enacting it.
Mr.. Allison explained that congress had
no means of negotiating with foreign gov
ernments, so that treaty was essential
before any reciprocal plan of tariff reduc-
ton could be executed. The conference
amendment striking out the senate pro-
vision for stamp tax on bonds and stocks
also led to a discussion. Mr.. Allison said
the point had been raised that an excise tax
must he levied on a class of articles as
a whole. while the senate amendment eX-
pressly excepted bonds of building asso-
Citations and other class of bonds. This
objection was felt to be well taken, and
the bond provision was abandoned.
Mr. Allen declared this was another
humble submission to the money power.
Mr.. Morgan asserted that there were
many reasons beyond the one assigned
for the abandonment of the bond tax. The
main influence was the favOritiSm shown
to capital 1t was this favoritism that
was making converts 10 the populist party.
Another influence was the sugar trust,
which had been instrumental in having
the bond tax abandoned, as it would affect
the tremendous stock transfers of the
trust
The formal reading of the conference re-
port was completed at 5:25. and the senate
at once went into executive session, adj
iOurning soon after.

The pool rooms are all excitement TO-
night over the fact that the odds on the
Governors Guard of Austin have been
pulled down from u to ] to 3 TO ] and no
bets are being pushed at those figures by
poolroOm management. II is generally
conceded now that the contest for the
$4,000 prize has narrowed down TO the
Sealey's, the Governors Guard and the
Mortons. The two last named companies

TO drill. SO far the Scalcys are conceded
TO be the best.
The Belknaps and the st. Paul com
pany both funked badly this afternoon,
while the Governors Guard came out in

well that several United States army Of
fcers enthusiastically termed them
poems of notion"
1t is the general opinion tonight that
the fight for the first place will be mar
rowed down to the Scaley's and the Gov
errors Guard. The fact that the pool
rooms tumblcd the odds after this after
moons enthusiastic reception of the
Guards exhibition drill proves that they
are fearful of the Austin boys winning.
The Guards team is in perfect condition
and will doubtless put up the drill of
their lives tomorrow. They are greatly
encouraged by the popular verdict of APP
proyal and say that they will exert every
effort to win the first place.
Considerable money was offered ON
