I The belief expressed by Charles Ltx Kleet of
Butnon Ayrcs, Arscnllno Republic, that If this

I the export from tils country the Argentine Ito-
public "' retaliate by imposing high Import
dotlcsontho exports of this country to Antcn-
Unit w talked about yesterday a Rood deal by
H jjj,, delegates from the South American coun
flf tries who have been visiting Now York for a
B c(k ami by ho business men who hnvo been
I entertaining them. Tho delegates snld that
I ihe feeling In tho countries from which they
I cane was pretty hard against the proposed
X ttr, but they did not come out as flat
I footed about retaliation as Scfior Liz Kleet
I bvt done. These delegates all represent
I countries which hare large products in
H ibe shape of raw materials which thoyharo
H been exporting to the United States, and which
jH hue bee" received here and admitted free of
BT ilnty heretofore, but which under the new tnrlff,
H l'f It Is adopted, aro to pay duty. The delegates
H nn' their last day sightseeing yesterday, and
I :c(t the city early last ovenlng for a trip up tho
I Sound to Fall Hlver, where they will visit the
B fusniensr cotton goods factories that make much
H c( thegcoils that are exported to their own
fl countries. They were a busy lot all day. A
sreek In the city had been too short a time to seo
the things that they wanted to see. and they
I mule the most of their last day getting glimpses
I (t more things.
When tbc delegates came here, one of the
I MTtj-said yesterday, they came toscoandnot
tocrttKIse, but they found that criticism was
notrejarded as Impolite In this country, and that
I Itnasoftcn invited and then was well received.
This discovery was tnado at the dinner given at
j the Hotel Waldorf onThursday night, when Seflor
I Romero, tho Mexican Minister, responding to
I tie toast. "Our Commercial Hclatlon with Our
M Sister Republic." for Senator Klktns. who was
m not preeut. took several cracks at the proposed
urtil. He said that " protection carried to the
H extreme nciftsarlly curtails business, and It de
ll (tats the end for which it was created and les
I sen the olume of foreign trade.
H "Con-idcr, said he. "the wool that Argentina
I sends to jou. If you bar that out by a protective
I duty 5 ou cannot expect that country to make an
effo-t to buy your goods. LookatanothereHect:
I We produce in Mexico silver lead ore. Tho
mine werodev eloped and controlled by Ameri-
ciin rajiital and men, and they shipped the raw
I trodutt into this country free of duty. Then
I some men developed similar mines in this
country, and going to Washington secured a pro-
kltitive tariff on tho raw material tbatcamo
I from Meiiio. al though their ow n mines w ere far
from able to supply this country's demand.
n What was tho result I Tho owners of the Mexi-
can mines erected mills in Mexico and began to
Hn nii lead, a manufactured product, into this
country, and this country lost that manufactur-
in Industry. . , . j
"The best way to lncreaso your foreign trade
b not to obstruct Importations by building walls
around the country, tor you may bo certain that
every dollar you pay to South America for im
m rorutions will bo spent in this country for
American manufactured products."
S This public criticism opened tho lips of the
delegates, and they have been doing some of
It on thetr own account ever since That of
Eefior Ltx Kleet, printed in The Scn yesterday,
was the tlrst public criticism, however. It was
supplemented yesterday by Capt- Cordeiro da
Graca. delegate from the United States of Brazil.
Besides being a delegate to the Commercial Mu
seum in Philadelphia, like his fellows, the Cap
tain Is a special delegate from his Government
to investigate the manufacturing industries of
the United States and the trade conditions here.
He Is to study all of the products of the United
Etates and to see what use can be made of them
in Brazil. For this purpose he intends spending
Ste or six months In the country after the other
delegates have returned to their home". He
read over yesterday the interview with Charles
til Kleet. who had said:
"Turn about is fair play, and accordingly we
bare all cabled to our countries stating the con
dition of affairs that exists here. The result will
he that the goods which now enter free will hive
to pay duty. Our mission here was to see if this
could be avoided, but we can see that all at
tempt will bo useless. England and Russia will
ncply us with what we need. It is a shame that
tils country does not listen to us. Tho American
Bag Is seldom seen in our ports. Forty or flfty
luropean vessels enter our pons dally. There is
so American bank in Bueaos Ayres. and what
Utile business we do with the United States
cmst be done through the foreign banking
houses, which are very numerous. Let us enter
wools and hides free of duty: that is all. We do
not care to Interfere withyourhome industries."
Capt. Da Grac.a read this once acrain and then
laid: "That is absolutely true. That is just the
condition of affairs." Proceeding, he said that
he did not understand the policy of protection
u exemplified by the proposed new tariff.
" Brazil, said he, is a sister country to the one
U that has spoken. The condition of things there
U as it is in the Argentine. We raise the same
products &nd export them raw to this country.
Your manufacturers turn tbem into manufac
I tured products. They must have our raw ma-
teriai to make into those products, and yet you
tax the raw material and say it protects your
worVingmen and manufacturers. We export
Jg the raw material also to England and to Ger
jgf nany.and there it Ismade into the manufactured
produc's. They do not tax; the raw material,
hence the manufacturers get it cheaper. They
can make the ininu fat tured article nnd sell it
for less money to us than your merchants can.
Ispeil plainly. Business is not sentiment, nnd
this is lueineM. We in tho South American
countries are friendly to tho United States. Wo
honestly n ant closer commercial relations with
th peop!" of your country. Wo came here as
delegates, rot on a pleasure trip, but with the
toce that we might be able to bring about a
closer commercial union. Your people want
that closer union, yet your Government would
I Continuing, the delegate argued that If Eng-
land and ot'.cr European countries let in raw
material free and the manufacturers in those
eoontries were able to produce cheaper than the
tcited Stairs, then they would produco more
than the United State and would be bitter cus-
tomers, because they would have to buy more of
the raw material. The country that bought tho
mostnf riw material Mould naturally got tho
cmt of the trarV that the country proi Iding the
j raw material had to give.

will go to European markets, as coffofl did once
before. If not alt. at least u largo part ot them
will. For tho present thero Is no dangerot an
attempt at retaliation. Our Congress does not
meet until next year. When this contingency
arose the last tlmo no attempt at retaliation was
made. Tho truth is, we aru helpless. Our chief
Importations from this country aro provisions,
such as flour, lard, and butter. To buy theso ar
ticles elsewhere than In America Is to buy at a
illradvantagu, and a duty upon thorn would only
add to the burden of the homo consumer without
corresponding profit. I bclloto that commerce
should bo as free ns nlr. My hopo In this matter
is that after tho bill becomes n, law thero will
coinon reaction. Another party aIU come into
pow er then and change it."
Antonio del Kino of Caracas, Venezuela, said:
This country should boar in mind that being a
manufacturing country It Is also a commercial
country. It therefore needs markets for Its
finished products. Tor this reason it Is uuwiso
for it to raise any barrlors to trade. So for ns
Venezuela is concerned, there is no danger of
retaliation. The pcoplo havo tho warmest ro
gnnl for this countiy. It would be the last
country against which thoy would wish to dis
criminate." Mnuro Kernandor. Minister of Flnanco In
Torto Hlco from 1883 to 18SI), said: " The tariff
avlll scarcely affect us at all. I understand that
coffee and bananas, our chief exports, avlll not
be changed. We shlu but few hides. Person
ally I am a frco trader, and bellove it best for nil
concerned."
N. Camilla of the Yucatan Chamber of Com
merce said: " Our principal export Is tho
long-llbrcd stsalhcmp. It Is used In the man
ufacture of tho tiWno with which tho fann
ers of this country bind their wheat. Tho
new tariff contemplates putting on hemp a duty
of f 30 a ton. In consequence, twine will cost tho
farmer 2 cents more n pound. It Is unjust to
htm and unjust to us. as we have been shipping
00,000 tons of the raw material to this country
every year."
E. Itegewivh. dealer in building supplies In
tho City of Mexico, said: "Tho tnrlff will ccr
tolnly impair trndo relations with Mexico and
nil the South American republics. All of our
exports to this country aro being heavily taxed.
Therefore we must look for other markets. I
be llovo in protection to n certain extent, but not
In prohibition. Many things nro being taxed
which do not grow in this country at nil. But
we 111 make no attempt to retaliate."
A. V. Hernandez, President of tho Bank of
Monterey. Monterey, Mexico, ssid: "The pro
posed tariff on cattle is practically prohibitory.
Mexico has lieen sending to this country bet eon
50,000 and tiO.lHH) head of cattle yearly. They
have been sold In Kansas City and Chicago,
killed and dressed, and sold In European mar
kets. The $," a head tariff will preveut this In
the future. We will simply build packinghouses
of our own and sell to Eurotie, making the full
profit. Itlsrcally much better for Mexico, for
it will bring millions of capital into tho country,
as tho cent-and-a-half tariff in former years on
lead resulted In the erection of large smelting
works. Tho tariff on omnges is foolish. Our
crop matures sixty days In ad once of tho Amer
ican crop. There was prnctlc.tlly no competi
tion. Now the American consumer will simply
havo to pay the added prico for his early
orang."
ll.itel de la Moraof Guadalajara, Moxlco, aid:
" Mexico docs not need reciprocity avlth tho
United States. If tho new tariff does not suit us
it will not make any difference. We adjust our
selves readily to conditions. There Is n splendid
field In Mexico for American machinery, nnd I
wonder manufacturers do not take advantngo
of It. Water pumps in houses nnd mines and
pumps for irrigation purposes In tho northern
iiart of tho country nro badly needed. Agents,
however, avho understand the language and who
will try to make a favorable Improsion on the
natives should be sent, instead of, as is often the
case, a lot of irresponslbles."

WAsnisoTov. June 3. ltegardlng the com
plaints by visiting South American merchants
that the proposed Tariff bill will bhut the prod
ucts of their countries out of the United States,
Senator Burrow, u member of tho Seuato
Flnanco Committee, said:
" I am In favor of restoringour reciprocal rela
tions with tho republics of South and Central
America. Tho bill as it passed the House con
tained a provision to accomplish this, but this
was stricken out by the committee In tho bill re
ported by it.
"There are 50.000,000 people south of us
whose Institutions arc similar to our own, and
we should do everything in our power to secure
and hold the trade of those nations. I am willing
that, under sutantlallv reciprocal agreements,
tho markets of the United Stitcs shall be open to
them under conditions which will place them at
an advantage over the rest of the world in their
commercial dealings with us. I think these -is-lting
gentlemen will find ultimately that they
have no ground for complaint."

Fatal Desalt or a Qnarrel In the Italian Col
.ay at Port Richmond.
Gutano Ptrlzzl shot and Instantly killed Car
mine Posenzzo. his brother-in-law, at Port Rich
mond, Staten Island, early yesterday morning,
and then made his escape. Do-cnzzo, with his
wife and one child, lived on Prospect street.
Ptrizzl, with his wife, lived on Sherman avenue,
a block away. So far as can bo learned the rela
tions ot the two men had always been friendly.
On Saturday evening Dosenzzo took his child
over to Ptrizzi's house, intending to leave tho
little one with her aunt. It Is believed that tho
men a uarrelled. for Dosenzzo went home about
10 o'clock and Ptrizzl afterword appeared on
the street with a revolver.
About 1:30 o'clock In tho morning Dosenzzo
started for Ptrizzi's house to get his child.
Dominic Palldeno. tho only witness, says tho
men met in Sherman street, a short distanco
from Ptrizzi's hoii'jc; that Ptrizzl pointed a re
volver at Dosenzzo and. calling upon him to
halt, threatened to shoot If he advanced.
Dosenzzo sprang at Ptrizzl and attempted to
grasp the hand that held the revolver, but he
fallt 1. Thero were twu reports in succesion.
nnd Dosenzzo fell back in the road dead. One of
the bullets entered his left breast, passing
through the heart, and tho other lodged In tho
left side of his neck.
The murderer fled, and an hour later tho
police were notified of the shooting. It was re
ported that Ptrirzl was in N'ew Brighton nt
o'clock in the morning attempting to borrow
money from friends, but he did not get tho
money, and tho police believe that he is still on
the island.

PTTT3HCR0. Pa., June 13. The P.cpubl!cnns

avas a candidato for rcnomlnation. and Edward
Sawyer and A.J. Elwnrds were after the Jury
Commlsslonershlp and tho Assistant District
Attorneyship respectively. Having a sure thing
of It, they bought between them 500 meal tickets
at $1 each at the Monogahcla House, a fashion
able hotel. Four hundred of the tickets were
stolenfrom the pocket of tho man whonas to
distribute them to the delegates. When the
convention was ready for dinner the candidates
gave their personal onicrs for meals.
Candidates nnd delegates went to tho hotel,
and there they found 200 men seated nt tho
tables, pounding plates nnd swearing at tho
waiters, while nearly 200 more filled tho corri
dors. It was a tough gang, and tho District At
torney recognized several whom ho hnd sent to
the Horkhouce.
Bleary eyes, red noses, and ragged clothing
wire distinguishing charicterlstles of thn
crowd. The stolen tickets had not hi en wasted,
but the treat cost the candidates nearly twice as
much as they had supposed it would.

All Rssex Ktreot Aghast to See the Kx-Auembly-man
Ride Home In a Iloneteoo Cab Kot
lowed to Ills Door by an Indignant Throng
r Former Admirers The F.nd Is .ot Yet.
At no time can it be said that life on tho east
side Is uneventful. Hut onco in every Qvo years,
chroniclers assert, something happens that stirs
tho district to its very depths. Thus did Johnny
I) rod sky, tho only "Chonny," stir thoqunrtor
when ho failed to renew the lcaso ut his Henry
street houso and moved into an uptown brown
stone Instead. So it was, yoars beforo, when
John O'Brien died, nnd again tho quinquennial
shock camo when Morris Tckulsky laid low tho
mighty Pat Dlvvcr in a flstio encounter, and
Alderman Nick Brown took a largo slice out ot
tho Tammany leader's political prospects. It
isn't quite Qvo years slnco Hnrry Miner had his
cards engraved "H. Clay Minor." and walked
through Grand street, followed by a vnlct, con
sequently a now shock was not expected at this
tlmo. Mr. Miner pained tho cast slders by thebo
doings, and even his political allies could not
quite forglvo tho valet. It is recorded that
"Shiner" Simpson, calling to sco tho Congress
man, was held up at tho door by the valet, who
pompously remarked:
"'Is 'lghness his riding with Senator Guy,
sir."
"Shiner" abused the valet voluminously on
this occasion, aud then went and told the whole
east side how Harry Miner had been trans
formed into " 'is 'lghness."
Hut lost of all men did tho east sldo expect
"Silver Dollar" Smith to be the next to shako
them up. Of all the notabilities of the district
no ono man was supposed to combine so many of
its traditions in himself ns the great "Silver
Dollar." Ho represents all tho a irtues and most
of tho other things of cast Bide life, and what
has most endeared him to tho hearts ot the in
habitants Is tho fact that he has spent his money
right where boniadolt. "Silver Dollar" owns
no uptown real estate, and his Essex street
saloon has no moro mirrors In It now than it did
when ho opened It yenrs ago. Up in the Tender
loin, Mr. Smith has another saloon, an unpre
tentious "club," wlilch ho purchused when tho
restrictions ot tho Haines' law drove Its former
owner out of business, but he leaves a manager
to run that establishment and spends his own
tlmo In picturesquo Essex street, where ho is
the biggest of all men and Justly feels that ho is
an important factor in passing events.
In view of all theso facts It seems almost im
possible to bellovo that "Silver Dollar" Smith
should be tho one to surprise nnd grievo his
neighbors and constituents. He did it though,
and tnls Is how:
At S o'clock on Saturday evening, when the
shadows ot night wero stealing up the maze
of streets east of the Bowery, there appeared on
too latter itiorougntare a strange monster, n
was largo and black, with throe great shining
eyes, and it moved nt great speed. Along it
camo with an uncanny silence that was only
broken when somebody got In the way. Then a
blood-curdling clanging of nictul came from
komewberc In its midst. As tho thing drew
near those avho had tho courage to face it
made out the figure of a man silhouetted
on its front. Then they saw that It
was normal in that it had but two eyes,
tho third and brightest light shining out
fmm the centre of the shirt, front of tho man.
Finally It dawned upon the wondering multi
tude that the monster was a horseless carriage,
ono of tboso pneumatic-tired luin-oms that
creep up behind you on Fifth avenue nt night,
and when about two feet away fires oft a blast
of sound that melts the marrow.
The east slders get used to strange sights
quickly. When they sow that thero was no
harm in the monster tho natives trembled no
more. They followed Instead of running away,
for the Identity of tho apparition established
there yet remained the great mystery who had
ventured don ntown in it I
A hundred pertons pursued It from Houston
street to Grand, and when it turned east a thou
sand more Joined in Its wake. The old yarn
about tho rolling stone didn't go. Tho rolling
horseless carriage gathered two thousand east
slders before it reached Essex street, and. as the
Btory was told last night, thero were nearly
twlco that number around when It pulled up In
front of "Sliver Dollar" Smith's. In that crowd
wero many great men. There was Tommy Brad
ley, the Bov Congressman: Joe Scbulum. tho in
ventor of "defences; "itosy." tho Poughkccpsie
lawyer: "Pete," the official court barber, and
the dummy bootblack of Esex Market, whom
rumor credits avith owning blocks of tenements
In the Ghetto.
Besides there avcre Pat Connelly, ex-Mayor of
Poacrty Hollow; Abo Sprung, the present
Mayor, who represents tho victory nf the Jews
over the Irish at the last election; Tommy Din
nean, the sage of Atlantic Garden; Gus Gloi
steln. into whose umplo calf the " Sll er Dollar"
thrust a cheeso knife some months ago during a
di'cussion on the ethics of politics, and n host of
others of moro or lens prominence, to say noth
ing of the rank and flloavho years ago made all
of the foregoing what they are to-da.
The comments on the Identity of tho occupant
of the hansom were many and Interesting. " One
of th ' Silver Dollar's ' tenderloin friend"." sug
gested a man. "Ver a liar; Charley has no
frlnds In the Tlnderllue.-' replied another.
"Sure it must be the brewery collector." "Ahl
it's some guy advertlsin' somethln'," remarked
ono of Tummy Bradley's tough constituents.
"Or an olllcer of tho court." remarked Joo
Schulum. ,
"I pet me," camo In n loud voice that rotildn t
belong to nn body but Gus Glolstcln, "dot Its
Schmitt himself." ........
Thero aaas a chorus of sarcastic Ahs! avhlch
stopped suddenly when tho carriage drew up to
tho curb and tho " Slh er Dollar " himself sprang
out.

Philadelphia, June 13. When Capt. John
Taylor was living ho held tho samo rclattvo po
sition to tho Grand Army of tho Ilcpnbllotn
Pennsylvania that Senator Quny has long held
to the Republican organization ot tho State. To
Capt. John Taylor tho forty thousand Grand
Army comrades of tho Department ot Pennsyl
vania always looked for counsel nnd guidanco,
and ho had tho fraternal faculty ot leading thorn
through pleasant paths ot peace; but with his
death como disturbances, bickerings, and Jeal
ousies that promise to destroy. If continued, the
usefulness of tho organization.
Slnco dipt. Taylor's death an effort has been
and is still being tna-lo to uso tho Grand Army
of tho llcpublle of Pennsylvania for political
purposes, and It Is a knonlodgo ot this fact that
Is absolutely certain to causo a rovolt of three
fourths of all tho six hundred posts in PcunBjl
vania against avhnt is designated as the "head
quarters ring."
From Juno of 1800 until June, 180", Alfred
Darte of Wllkcsbarro v.ns Department Com
mander, nnd as such mudo itn point to visit a
larger number of posts than any ot his predeces
sors, nnd in many ot theso visitations Com
mander Darto was accompanied by his youngest
brother, who wns a candidato for Auditor-Gun-era),
and at the camp fires held after Iho post
muster every effort wns made to boom him for
that olllcc.but seemingly avithout avail, and his
chances for tho nomination aro at rcro.
The ono otllelal nt Grand Army headquarters
who would not lend himself to tno Grand Army
scheme to nominate Comrade Darte for Auditor
General avas Assistant Ounrtormaster-Gencral
Abraham levering, and Gen. Levering has Just
felt how "sharper than n sorpont's tooth " Is the
aengeanceof thoGrnnd Army of Pennsylvania,
for in making up his stnft for tho year ending in
June, 18113. Department Commander Stnuffnr
has Just reappointed all of last year's otllclals,
avlth tho single exception of Ocn. Levering, aa ho.
by the aaay, was tho only Grand Array official
that rccelaed a a-oto of thanks nt thn Depart
ment Encampment nt Johnstown ten davs ago
for the faithful performance of his duties.
In making up his statTthe Department Com
mander has named Gen. Charles I lielper of
Post I as Assistant Adjutant-General, and
Charles Harris, also of Post 1, Chief Clerk of the
Department: J. It. Craig ot Post 2. Assistant
Quartormastcr-General ; Charles A, Suydam,
also of Post 2. Department Inspector. Tho
Council of Administration stands: Wllllnm J.
Wray, also of Post 2, President, nnd Henry I.
Yohn, also of Post 1, Secretary, notwlthstnnd
standing Posts 1 and 2 have each n delegate to
tho Buffalo Nntlonnl Encampment. I might
nliadd that ot the Couucllof Administration
of live members Post 0 has one, nnd this samo
post also has ono of the thirty-six delegates to
tho National Encampment.
In a lew of the fact that theso three Philadel
phia posts haae gobbled up nearly all tho im
portant ofllccs of the department, nearly 500
Grand Army posts In Pennsylvania are making
ready to resent It by "smashing tho headquar
ters ring at tho noxt encampment," as they
put It.
Tho candidato of the " united comrndos" for
tho next Department Commander of Pennsyl
vania, as against the ring candidate, will bo
Comrade William J. Patterson of Post 157 of
Pittsburg; and not only will the light be made
for Commander, hut the "united comrades" say
they are determined also to lean out tho entlro
ring, and aa ill put up "united comrades"
ticket for Conned of Administration and dele
gates to the National Encnmpuu nt.
This united action of more than 500 posts, be
gun at Johnstown ten days ago. is not a move
ment to embarrass tho newly-elected Command
er. W. D. Stauffer. but Is intended as a protest
against tho domination of tho Grand Army boss
who aspires to tnko tho place of the lamented
Capt. John Taylor avithout having a single
qualification that so endeared Comrade Taylor
to the whole Grand Army of Pennsylvania. It
Is a ringing protest against the effort ot that
boss to make the Grand Army a political foot
ball for him to kick around at will.

Bishop Ellison Capers, acting for Bishop Pot

firmation yesterday to forty-threo paupers on
Blackwcll's Island. Those continued ranged in
ago from 05 to 03 years. Tho Chapel of tho
Good Shepherd, avhlch Is o branch of tho Prot
estant Episcopal City Mission Society, avas
crowded to Its utmost capa-Ity with Inmates of
tho Almshouse, many of them so Infirm nnd
crippled that they had to be nsslsted into the
chapel. Bishop Capors was assisted by the Itcv.
Ralph Baldwin, the Hcv. B. Morgan, and tho
Bev. George F. Nelson of tho City Mission So
ciety. The confirmation class consisted of twenty-two
men and twenty-ono women, the oldest a man of
1)3 years. The average ago of the class avas 79
years. Never has the class been as large, and
never has tho age of the candidates been so gen
erally advanced. John Corning, tho oldest of
those contlrmed, has gone through the ceremony
twice before, once In the Catholic church and
again In tho Methodist. Since Corning has been
on Blackwcll's Island tin has becomo greatly in
terested in tho Episcopal service, and sir
months aco be informed tho Island authorities
that ho could not see his way clear to heaven
unless he becamo a communicant of the Epis
copal church.
Corning was not content with this determina
tion, but concluded that he could not lie per
fectly certain of salvst Ion until he hnd persuaded
at least ouo fellow lnmnto to join the Church.
James Ferguson, Sl years old, was a warm
friend of Corning, but treated his intenso re
ligious views rather lightly. Some time ago. so
mm of the Island keepers says. Corning went to
Ferguson nnd hvliorcd so successfully with him
that the latter becimo completely converted.
Yesterday tho two men. white haired and bent,
walked im the oisle arm in arm and knelt le
fore the Hlhop, who placed n hand on each ven
erable head una repeated tho solemn prayer of
contirmntion.
Among tho women confirmed was Mary
Bradv, 111 years old. Mary also has lieen a
member of another church, but latterly sho

street, N'ewark. Tho latter spent Friday night
at her mother's house, and when ho went away
on Saturday ho told Mrs. Sloan that he was
going to quit her forever. Ho snld It In a
Joking way, but she took it seriously. Going to
a drug store sho bought some laudanum.
This she swallowed at 1! o'clock in the after

account.
Uebauer was not posltlvo as to his identifica

who would know positively if the suicide was
Mrs. Doriat to go to the Morgue.

to-night to a Sl'X reporter, "recommend nny- H

it will 1 that the Houso provision relating to 'jltH
the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty ho restored. 'mW-bI
That vv ill not bo expressing any opinion as to itl jH
tho merit of that instrument, but merely letting 'JIbbI
the present condition of things remain." 'HibI
Tho qualification "It anything" in the Sen m M
ator'3 remarks was due to tho fact that tho com H
mlltco limy not have acted by the tlmo tho 'M M
caucus meets to-morrow night. Senator Plats "m H
of Connecticut followed Senator Aldrlch out of .&j M
town yesterday, seeking n period of rest. lis JB H
expected w hen hu left to return to-morrow, but S bI
mny not get back in tiico to confer with hi M
associates on tho committee. KviLbI
Senator Morrill has not been nble, becnuso of M H
tllhcnlth, to tnko part In commlttcodlscusslons, OT H
and Senator Jones ot Nevada, although he has ' M
so far upheld tho action ot tho Republican mem- j9 lt
bcrs, is not consulted by them in the preparation ''-5 H
of tho bill. W
This leaves Senator Allison and Burrows as &i
tho only working members of tho majority, and M AM
they have done nothing to-day. Whatever i J .,
dono to-morrow will necessarily bo tho result iS M
ot informal conferences. TCl H
It is not cxpectod to night that any progress W
will bo mado at to-morrow's session of tho Sen m H
ato In the consideration of tho Tariff bill. J& M
Senators Allen and Pettigrcw nro down for ex- SB JH
tended speeches. Mr. Pettlgrow's, based upon 5v Ml
his proposed anti-trust amendment, is awaited wflal
with some, louecrn by tho friends ot tho bill. 'SMB
Tho Democrats havo consented to begin tho ilStjH
dally sessions at 11 o'clock on Wednesday and 4a H
continue them until tho bill is disposed of. Even x
If the Hawnlinn treaty recommendation Is not Al
ready to morrow night, tlio caucus will not lack jK
topics for discussion. Tho tobacco schedule w
must lie settled and somo action taken on tho ,'-M
anti-trust amendment. tS m
Inquiry amongScnators to-day discloses scrl- J S
ous opposition to thn suggestion mado by Sen- H
ntor Spooner yesterday that for a Period of sir .5
months attor tho passago of tho TurifT bill the) H
present duties on rotlnod sugars ba continued In j
rorce, tho hUther rates ot tho bill on raw grades jS
to go into effect at once. J Ul
Ihls, It wa argued, would dcprlvo thotrust of -
the benefit hoped for by tho importation of a, .-j H
half year's stock of raw sugar und or tho present ' H
law. Un thu other hand it was pointed out that ,'S
this would open tho markets of the United (
States to tho Kuropenn refiners, with $
tho result that tho Government would & B
get no revenue nnd tho refineries hero 3 1
would be closed until tho stock of foreign sugars X M
should be exhausted. The suggestion also went B
to the wool schedule, to punish tho manufao- ttj
Hirers for laving in a supply of wool equal to K
the demand tor a year anil a half. But It was j
argued thnt to withhold tho compensating du- at
ties on the manufactured product would ba al
simnlv to ovtioso our markets to EuroDcan man- S ami
ufactururs. & H
HTho proposition of young Mr. Sprcckels to im- M
(use a tax of one cent a pound on nil sugars re- &B fa

VAXcocvnit, B. C. Juno 13. Miners are very . M
much excited over the possibility of Chlness $ fl
crowding them out ns day laborers. There nro Jl
at present several thousand miners In Kootenay '., fl
out of work, nnd thero is no work for them. -g- 9
With this immense surplus population, all look- 'Jj fl
ing for a job and ready to pounco upon it at a '& fl
moment's notice, tho advent ot tho Chincso 35 ll
w ould mean mob law. & fl
In tho spring gangs of Chinese were turned S fl
back on tho lxirders of Kootenay by determined ? fl
miners, and tho British Columbia Ix-glslature, fl
reallring tho seriousness of the situation, en- - fl
acted a 1 vw that no Chincso should be employed -: JM
underground in this province. fl
Justice Drake ot tho Supremo Court of tho '''fli
province, how-over, ruled yesterday, on a test 5itfl
case, that while tho recent act prohibits tho em- -'ttfl
plo.vmentof Chinee underground, no damago lfl
lould be recovered for contravention of tho act. A'm
for the net did not provide for a penalty. It is liH
said that according to tho British North Ameri- !'
tan act. no penalty can be indicted, and conso- '''
quently British Columbia, for another year at ''
least, is in constant danger of labor riots. r ' Jifl
Owing to tho large number of Chincso con- Sri
Stanley coming into the province by tho trans- ,!'
PaciCc steamers, the situation avill grow avorso MlV
instead ot better. '
