WASHINGTON, July 3.-When the

voice declared that publications con.
corning a conflict said to have taken
place yesterday before the COM
mittee on commerce In relation
to the appointment Of b. II. War
ner, jr., a consul to Leipsic,
Germany, we're unjust and sought
to embroil him in conflict with the
President Of the United States. He
understood committee proceedings re-
lating to nominations were secret, and
he could not believe that any members
Of the committee gave the informa-
ton. Under such circumstances he
asked who could have inspired this
report but that creature" present in
tho committee room yesterday. II
was alleged that he had attacked
President Mckinley, but this, too, he
declared was false. He was q free
man, and he reserved II to himself te

and retaliation were the two phases
Of the tariff bill to occupy the atten-
ton OF the Senate yesterday, to the

port bounty on any article, there shall

provided by the act. an additional
duty equal to the amount Of the
bounty.

and McEncry Of Louisiana and Messrs.
Allen and Kyle. voted with the Re-
publicans In the affirmative, and
Messrs. Mantle and Teller with the
Democrats In the negative.
The reciprocity CLAUSE empowers the
president, with tho advice and con
scnt Of the Senate, to mako rcci-
procity treaties giving 90 per cent re-
duction In duties on designated nrti-
cles, or placing articles on the free
list. The amendment brought out
much opposition. senators Mills, Vest,
Pettus, Teller and White saying that

TO TAX ALL STOCK DEALS

scheme Proposed.

WASHINGTON, July "A provision
for q tax on stock and bond transac.
tions in connection with the tariff bill
was agreed upon at the caucus OF Re.
publican Senators 1t was suggested
by Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,
and grew out Of o statement that with
the tea and beer provisions with
drawn, the tariff bill was likely 20
fall short to tho extent OF sl5, 200, 900
in providing sufficient revenue to meet
the demands Of the government
The suggestion as made by MI.
Lodge was that q tax of 3 cents per
share should be levied upon every
share Of stock sold at q stock exchange
or at any other place and that q SINH
lar tax Of 2 cents should be collected
upon nll bonds sold ON stock exchanges
or elsewhere. The caucus accepted
the suggestion, but decided to leave
tho formulation OF the amendment,
with possibly q change OF rates, to the
finance committee.
The committee took the matter mp
to-day but did not reach q definite con-
clusion. A rough estimate places the
amount Of revenue the provision will
furnish at 81, 0oO 600
Senator Elkins seconded Senator
Lodges efforts In behalf Of the tax,
making q vigorous speech. 1t Is now
understood that the amendment will
also provide for a stamp tax on all
issues Of stock, whether when q com
pany Is originally formed or it sub
scquently enlarges It's issue. The rate
suggested is S per cent Of 500 Of stock
The caucus, also at the suggestion
of Senator Pritchard, receded from
the proposed changes on manufac
tured tobacco, including SNUFF ant
smoking tobacco, leaving only thu
provisions in regard to cigars and Gig
a~rettes Of the internal revenue fea
lures OF the bill. A decision wa
reached to make the rate On Cigarette
double that proposed By tho Ananc'
committee, or % per thousand OF
those weighing less than three pound
per 1000, and increasing the rate 70
