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.
Heetproelty and Retaliation Agreed to
by the Henate l'arty I.I net Mroken.
Wasuikotox, July fi. Reciprocity
and retaliation wcro tho two phases
of thu tiirlft hill to occupy tho atten
tion of the Sunuto yesterday, to, the
exclusion of all other subjects. Both
provisions wcro agreed to, although
tho dobato on tho reciprocity clause
was protracted to 0 o'clock.
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. Mantle and Teller with tho
Democrats In tho negative.
Tito reciprocity clause otnpowors thu

Cnio. oo, July ,. A dog was taken
to the Chicago college of dental aur-
gory nnd wrapped In the bullet-proof

monk. Then two bullets of 44-callber
were fired at him at a distance of ten

Tho first shot struck him exactly id a
