Superintendent MeitoUwpf the. Jrooklywtaellce ha, efteWtlfrblockea the Sullivan-Fltz: Wall Street May Have to Pay a Day The Scheme l'ropoied. Washinotow, July 3. A provision for a tax on stock and bond transac tions In connection with tho tariff bill was agreed upon at tho caucus of Re publican Senators. It was suggested by Senator Lodgo of Massachusetts and grew out of a statement that with the tea and beer provisions with drawn, tho tariff bill was likely to fall short to tho extont of $15,000,000 In providing sufficient revenuo to meet the demands of tho government Tho suggestion as mado by Mr. Lodgo was that a tax of 2 cents per sharo should bo levied upon every share of stock sold at a stock exchange or at any other placo,and that a simi lar tax of 2 cents should be collected upon all bonds sold oa stock exchanges or elsowhero. The caucus acceptod the suggestion, but decided to, leave tho formulation of the amendment, with possibly a change of rates, to the finance committee. The committee took the matter up to-day but did riot reach a definite con clusion. A rough estimate places the amount of revenue the provision will furnish at 37,000,000. Senator Elklns seconded Senator Lodge's efforts In behalf of the tax, making a vigorous speech. It Is now understood that tho amendmont will also provldo for a stamp tax on all Issues of stock, whether when a com pany Is originally formed or it sub sequently enlarges Ha issue. The rato suggested Is 5 per cent of $100 of stock. Tho caucus, also at the suggestion of Senator Prltchard, receded from the proposed changes on manufac tured tobacco, including snuff and smoking tobaeco, leaving only the provisions In regard to cigars and cig arettes of tho internal revenue fea tures of the bill A decision was reached to make the rate oa cigarettes doublo that proposed by the finance committee, or S3 per thousand on thoso weighing less than three pound per 1,000, and increasing the rate foi those of larger size. A FINE YACHT WRECKED. Step Through an Area-wny and Falll Fifteen Feet. Ex-State Senator Alex Graham of lieatricc, who was one of tho delegates to tho Omaha convention, met with a sevcro .accident at tho Murray hotel, Omaha, about midnight Wednesday night. Tho Beatrice delegation wcro quartered at tho Murray hotel and about tho hour mentioned Mr. Graham loft his company sitting In front of tho hotel and passing through tho office entered tho lavoratory. Evidently, on leaving there, ho mistook tho door through which he entered and stepped out through mlstako in a walk cover ing an arcaway. This walk Instead of extending through to the street, ter minated In a small shed In which Is a large window and through this he walked, falling to the cement floor bo- low, a distance of about fifteen feet, lie was unconscious when found. Af ter being carried to a room a physician was called, who, upon examination, found the right wrist broken badly, the right hip badly coutusod and a gash over tho right eye, injuries which may result lu his remaining in a hos pital a couplo of weeks. A trained nurse was summoned, who took charge of the patient undor the doctor's orders. DIVERSIFIED FARMING. Campbell Method of Boll Culture Uclnr Tettrd at Alma. From the past success which has been attained from the Campbell method or soil culturo the Burlington railroad officials and Mr, Campbell have been prompted to. establish ho veral expert-: mental farming stations In Ui tie rent sections of the stato, all of which are said to bo prospering finely. The sta tion located at Alma is under tho supervision of E. If. Batty, who is striv ing earnestly to make tho oxperlraent a profitablo one. The crop consists of wheat, oats, flax, buckwheat, alfalfa millet, Kaffir corn, beans, peanuts, potatoes and other products. About ilx hundred and fifty fruit trees have been planted and fully 00 per cent are growing. Naturally the definite re sults cannot be ascertained until harvest. At that time the comparison can bo made. If tho method meets with success it will bo a material bene fit to thoso interested in ngriculture. Several officials of tho Burlington, including Messrs. Francis and Holdrege and Mr. Campbell, visited the Burling ton experiment farm at Alma last week and expressed themselves as being oleased with the work being done.

Nkw Yojik, July (,. special to tho Trlbuno from Washington gives the full text of Secretary Sherman's answer to Japan's protest against tho annexation of Ilnwall by tho United States. After quoting the grounds on whlah Japan made its protest tho Socrotary of Stato says. "This recital Is of Itself proof that your government has mis apprehended tho statements and as surances contained In my note, nnd, In its relation to tho treaty question Involved, strongly suggests confusion between tho formal stipulations of treaties and tho vested rights which the subjects of one country may ac qulro la nnothcr undor treaty or tho law of the land. "What the Hawaiian treaty of an nexation proposes Is tho extension of tho treaties of tho United States to the incorporated territory to replace the necessarily extinguished Hawaiian treaties In order that tho guarantees of treaty rights to all may bo unques tionable and continuous. To this end the termination of tho existing treaties of Hawaii Is recited as a condition precedent Tito treaty of annexation does not abrogate thoso Instruments. It is the fact of Hawaii's ceasing to exist as an Independent contraetant that extinguishes thoso contracts. As to the vested rights, If any bo estab lished in favor of Japan or Japancso Lubjeots in Hawaii, tho caso lf d lifer ent, and I repeat that 'there Is noth ing in the proposed treaty prejudicial to the rights of Japan.' "Treatlos aro turmlnnblo In a vari ety of ways; that of 1HS6 between Ja pan and Hawaii, to which your pro test Is supposed to relate, is renounc ablo by either party oa six months notice, but Its extension would no more extinguish vested rights prev iously acquired undor Its stipulations than the, repeal of a municipal law af foots rights of property vested under its provisions. "As to the point 'that tho mainte nance of thj status quo of Hawaii Is essential to the good understanding of tho powers which hava intcrosts in tho Pacific,' It Is sufficient to remark that. as a fact through thrco-quarters of a contury, In which tho constitution and government of Hawaii and the commerce of tho Islands with tho world havo undergone notable changes, the one essential feature of the status quo has been tho predomi nant and paramount influence of tho iUalted States upon tho fortunes of ; the group, and that tho union of that Island territory to the United States, often foreshadowed, and at times tak- ' lag tangible shape, has been recog olEed asv' necessary contingency, drawing nearer yoariby year with the passage of ovents.: Four years ago, ,when aslmlUr,proJect of annexation followed tho Hawaiian revolution, the occasion for. maintaining the status quo was not even suggested by auy power having interests in the Pacific. "This government cannot be ex pected to proclaim or admit thnt any such occasion has slnco arisen just ns It can neither Intend nor admit that the projected more perfect union of Hawaii to the United States, by which tho progressive policies und dependent associations of some soventy years havo their destined culmination can Injure any legitimate interests of other powers in tho Pacific. That It will tend to strengthen, devolop and perpetuate all such commonly bene ficial Interests is, on tho contrary, to bo expected. "In thus reviewing tho protest you present, it glvei mo pleasure to say that I welcome its frank and friendly spirit So far as you take occasion to deny what you aptly cull 'tho mis chievous suggestion or roport' that Japan hae designs against tho Integ rity or sovereignty of Hawaii, I am glad to assure you that siioh denial was entirely unnecessary, inastnnch ostitis gc-vernment ha not doubted, and cannot for an Instant doubt, .tho sincerity and friondllnoss of Japan, in ,8, thai) concerns, hor relations te the United States and, to tho Hawaiian Island." Senator .Tone of Arkanta Declare That III Follower Would FlRht It. W.A3HIXO.TON, July ft. Whon the Sonato met to-day thero was llttlo evi dence that thu clo.se of tho long and arduous tariff dobato was near at hand, tho attendunoo In tho galleries being no greater than during tho opening hours and there being consld' erably loss than a quorum prcsout When the tar if.' bill was taken up Mr. Allison presented thrco now amendments n'ot for immediate ne Hon, but In order that they talgljt bo speedily printed. TUo first provided for a bounty of onoquartcr of n oont per pound on bcot sugar mado from beets grown (u tho United States from July, 138, to July, 1003. Mr. Jones of Arkansas expressed surprise that upon tho day which was hoped to bo tho last of tho tariff do bato tho commlttco should bring In this far-reaching amendmont embody ing ono of the most radlcnl departures mado In a contury. Such experiments ns had boon mado in tho line of boun ty legislation .had proved disastrous. Mr. Allison explained that the amendmont was a preclso reproduc tion of tho bounty clause of tho law of 1800, except that it was confined to beet sugars and that rato was limited to ono-fourth of a cent a, pound. . "6f course thero Is no use talking about hurryiug this proposition how," said Mr, .louev "There must be time to look Into It" "Cortaluly," responded Mr. Allison. "There Is no purpose to hurry it" Mr. Jones announced that In view of the now amendment on sugar. boun ties tho Sonata would bo in sosston a "good long tlmo." It could not be passed without tho fullest discussion. Tho dog days wore hero and tho weather Intensely hot Therefore ho thought It well to trlvo up tho early dally moetlngs of tho session, resum ing tho Vi o'clock session, and ho thought It doslrablo that tho Senate now adjourn. i Mr. Allison responded that he thought the bill was to bo passed today. In surprised tones Mr. Jones an swered that such an Idea was pre posterous. With this bounty question brought In could it be posslblo to ex pect tho passago of tho bill this wcok or next wcok, or the week after noxt? Ho was absolutely astounded to have this proposition brought In at tho last moment He again expresied hepo that 1J o'clock sosslons and an adjourn ment for to-day would bo agreed to. Mr. Thurston of Nebraska, who had been conferring with Mr. Allison, spolt o of tho part ho had taken In urging this boot sugar bounty and his earnest wish that it bo incorporated in tho bill. "But I reeognlzo," ho con tinued, "that the people of this coun try aro demanding tho iminediato passage of this tariff bill. They aro Impatient that tho rates of duties shall bo so permanently established that tho calculations of business can be mado. As one of tho prime movers of this proposition I reluctantly In the discharge of what I belieyo to be patriotic duty I reluctantly yield to tho threat of tho other sldo of thts chamber to prolong this debato Indofli nltcly and that tho wheels of industry may begin to revolvo, that the smoko of tho chimneys may arlso, that tho spindles may begin to sing, I with draw this amendment" Mr. Allison said that in vlow of what had occurred ho concurred in wliut tho Nebraska senator (Thurston) had said, that It was not best to In troduce any question which might prolong the debate. Ho asked loave, therefore to withdraw tho bounty amendment Tho Senate completed tho first read ing of the tariff bill, administrative sections and alL Tho IIouso section prohibiting the entry of nil convict made goods was agreed to and many othurs pf tho IIouso administrative provisions wero restorod.

Tho retaliatory clause provides that whonovcr any country bestows an ex port bounty on any article, there shall bo levied, In addition to tlio duties provided by tho act, an additional duty equal to tho amount of the bounty. Tho retaliatory clauso was agreed to 31 to 10. Two Democrats, Caffery and McEndry ef Louisiana and Messrs. Allen and Kyle, voted with tho Re. publicans in the affirmative, and Messrs.
