A SPECIAL MESSAGE.

President May Recommend Creation
of Currency Communion.
Washington, July 3.-The question
whether the president will send a spe-
cial message to congress recommend
ing the creation of a currency commits
sion will be definitely decided next
week. The president is strongly in
clined at this time to send special
currency message to congress regard
ing himself as in considerable meas
ure pledged to this course. In fact, it
was semi-officially announced at the
white house late Friday afternoon that
such message would be sent to con-
gress next week, but some of the presi-
dents most influential advisers on
financial questions are opposed to a
message as imPolitic at this time owing
to hostility to commission on the part
of congress. and the final determina-
ton, as stated, will not be reached I'M
til Mr.. Mckinley returns from Canton.
The matter was under discussion at
the cabinet meeting Friday, but not
in manner to lead to definite conclu-
sion or policy, and the matter went over
until the presidents return to the city
next week, when it is probable that
Mr.. H. Fl. Hanna, who is chairman of
the executive committee of the Indian
apolis convention, and perhaps other
members of the committee, will come
to Washington to discuss the situation
with the president and Mr.. Gage. Upon
the result of the conference will prob
ably depend President McKinley's &C.

senator Lodge Proposes q Plan To.
Increase Revenue. Ek55S
Washington, July 3.:rhe provision
for 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 suggestee
by Senator Lodge, OF Massac hmsetts.
and grew out of q statement that5with
the tea and beer provisions withdrawn
the tariff bill was likely to fall short
to the extent Of 5000, 900 in provid-
ing sufficient revenue to meet the de-.
mands Of the government.
The suggestion as made by Senator.
Lodge was that q tax of two Il cents
per share should be levied upon every
share Of stock sold at stock exchange
or at any other place, and that slmi-
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 possible change OF rates,
to the finance committee. The COM
mittee took the matter up at it's early
meeting Friday, but did not reach a
definite conclusion as to the details in
volved in the proposition. A rough
estimate places the amount of rev
enue the provision will furnish at ST.
100000. ~ ~5.
Reciprocity and retaliation clauses
were adopted by the senate as part of
the tariff bill Friday. The retaliatory
clause provides that whenever any
country bestows an export bounty on
any article there shall be levied, Id ad-
dition to the duties provided by the act,
an additional duty equal to the amount
OF the bounty. J. :
The reciprocity clause empowers the
president, with the advice and consent
of the senate, to make reciprocity
treaties giving 20 per cent. reduction in
duties on designated articles, or plac-
ing articles on the free list.

Better weather has favorably affected

Miss Juliet Corson, of New York, the
dietetic reformer, whose death recently
took place, merits greater honor than
she ever received in her lifetime, or than
her memory is likely to obtain now. We
are told in "Gulliver" that the person
who would make two ears of corn or
two blades of grass grow where only one
grew before would deserve better of
mankind than the whole race of poll
ticians. The person who would make
one dollar 60 as far as two did before in
preparing wholesome food for the poor
ought to be held in grateful remem-
brance by society. This work the late
Miss Corson did.
