LAST TARIFF BILL CAUCUS.
No Tea Duty-No Beer-Tnx Increase
Tax on stock transactions.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Republi-
can senators held what they decided
should be their last caucus on the tariff
bill tonight. The meeting continued for
more than three hours. and was produc-
tive Of important results, which were not
reached without the display of consider
able feeling Among the points decided
were the following:
To report no anti-trus. amendment; TO
Withdraw the original Finance Committee
provisions for a duty on tea and an in
crease of A cents per barrel in the tax
on beer, and to provide for a tax on bond
and stock transactions.
The greater part O: the time Eas given
to the proposition for provision against
trusts. The discussion on this question
was opened upon the basis of a report by
the Judiciary Committee in opposition 10
any effort to attach trust provision 10
the tariff bill. The committee had held a
meeting during the afternoon, at which
the whole question was gone over at
length with other Republican senators,
including Messrs. Hanna and Chandler.
1t was then decided that 1t would be ex-
tremely difficult to secure legislation that
would be effective, and that, upon the
whole, it was impoitc and unwise TO un-
dertake it. \ report was made accord
ingly to the caucus, and a resolution
adopted authorizing the presentation Of
in
terms of the Wilson law. which makes
il unlawful to form trust in imported
articles This report called out some
vigorous protests. especially on the part
of the western senator's but they were
replied to with spirit. It was asserted,
among other things, that the presenta-
ton of new antitrust provision would
lead 10 long debate. which could not be
afforded at the present time.
A POSSIBLE DEFICIT.
The success of the proposition 10 recede
from the increased tax on beer and the
temporary duty Oh tea led to quite a
prolonged discussion of the amount of
revenue the bill would yield. Many sena-
tors expressed the opinion tndl lhe NOIuiuc
would not be equal TO the demands Of the
government. 1t was in response to this
view that a determination was reached
TO provide for a tax on stock and bond
transactions. The details of this scheme
were not agreed upon but were left TO
the Finance Committee TO perfect. There
was decided opposition to a tax on either
ordinary bank checks or mortgages.
1t appeared during the discussion Of
this branch of the subject that the COM
mittee had been supplied to-day with es-
Inmates of the revenue the bill would pro-
duce. made by Mr.. Worthington C. Ford,
who had given the opinion that, with an
equal volume of imports. the bill would
produce during the first year of its ope-
ration more than s1OOOo0,o0O in excess of
the returns under the Wilson law for
the first year it was in existence. Senator
Allison said, however that these figures
were misleading as the imports could not
be expected to be so large. and advised
his fellow senators, on this account not
TO accept them as an indication of the
possibilities of the bill.

ton to the scientific literature of travel.

turned to the United States, was ap-
Dointed chief clerk of the Department OF
state. a post he relinquished in the fol-
lowing year to become Third Assistant
