Haueax, N 8., July 16.--[Spocial Tole- gram to Tie Bee. |-It is runored here tolay that there has been fresh trouble, the most serious yet reported, between the French and English on the Newfoundland coast. It is said the New foundland cruiser Fiona, which had been recently put into commission to patrol the coast for the purpose of efordng the bait act, has had a conflict with a French fishing brig from St. Malo, France. he story is to the effect that Friday the Fiona discovered the renchman in North Bay on the coast securing b Tnmediately ing the Fionathe frenchmin made sai schooner followed and a 1i 4 nals to lie to, and as a consequence the Plona firedfa shot across her bow. The Frenchman still paid no attention and finally escaped in the Little Miqueton, As the ench source in , Miqueton, it may be greatly ex- aggerated, but color is lent to thestory by the hurried departure this morning fromhere of the British steamer Bellaplon, the flag- shipof the North Awmerican squadron, and two other men-of-war from St. Johns, New- foundland. The French consul here has had no official information tof a French ship being fired aton the high sea. —_——— Frye to Blaine, O July 16.-Senator Frye, in reply to Secrctary Bliine's letter, has writ- ten him, saying, in part: *I assumethat your views are contained in whatis laown as the Hale amendment; that you know, for instance, what the Latinvepublics will re- ceive of ours free from duty in compensition for free sugar. T assume that the amend- ment was the result of thorough investi gation. Thedifficulty about itis this: The amount of sugar to be ed from those states would be comparativ all and the consumer of sugar would receive no benefitofit. Your letter to me extends this idea of reciprocity to Cubaand Porto Rico. Tadmit that if sugzar is admitted free from these islands as wellas the Latin repub- lies, the people would be benefitted and sugar woild be practically free. Butwill Spain ud- mit into those islinds free from duty the list of urticles named in that amendmentl Of course, we could not ecnacta law more favor able to Spuin than to the republics, 16 you know what Spain would exchange for free sugar and ¢ on grive alist of the articles she would receive? ? § LR Appropriations and Revenmnes, WasminGton, July 16, —~Me.

IT MAY EQUAL THE MILLS MEASURE 1he Threatrned War in America Offers a Good Oppor- tunity to Show How bi= tration Works. At T Owsanra Bee B FPOURTEENTH STRREET, Wasinsaroy, D, C., July 16. Democratic and republ senators ane calenlating upon debating tho tariff bill six weeks or more, although no agreement his yet been reached on thatsubject, The tavift is & great question, and it is one in which all the people ar interested. There is not likely to be any attempt made to rush the bill through uitil its provisims have been care- fully scrutinized and explained. The Mills bill, after being debated by the senate finance committee, was discussed until October 8, I888. It will be remembered that while it was pending the republican senators held frequent caucusses and resolved to pass a bill befors consenting to an adjournment. Finully Senator Allison announced that the republi were tired and wanted to go home and moved to postpone the further consideration of the bill untilthe following December. That motion previiled, and, attlough the presidency had been decided, the senate oceupied more than six weeks discussing the bill in the second sion of the fiftisth congrress. Under the umstunces thew is every reason to be- lievethat the debate on the pending tariff bill will be equally protracted. The presmt bill differs in many respects from the Allison bill,and there is much in it weeding full explination. MATIONE WANTS THE EARTIL It leaks out that ex-Senator Mahone,at the recent meeting of the republican state committee of Virginia in this city, ofler resolution coademuing the policy of the ministration in thedistribution of patror but afte discussion he was persuaded that it was impolitic to make such a declvation, The resolution was then withdrawn and ervbody agreed 1ot o say anything about it. The frouble with Generl Mihone is that the prosident has appointedto oMce several of the members of the faction that is opposed to his leadership of the repubiican party in Virgininand has not givena suficient num- I » i ds. The purposeof the admini. has been to deal with both factions and accept the ad- of the leders in making appointments in the localities in which they live. It wasonlythe other day that oneof M ‘s most active lientenants was pointed consul general to Central America, buthe will never be satisfied untiihe ets evarything that isto be had, He insisted that his facton is the genuine orginization and thal the natimal republican convention had no right to admit his oppouents to seats, but the president has anly followed the prece- dent of the coiventionand has endeavored to bring about harmony. Mahone, himself, was offered the consulgeneralsiip to Paris,’ but didnot consider that office of suficient dig- nity foran ex-senitorand declined it with- out thanks, He has been suggested for npgolllt!nl!nt as minister to Brwil, but tho president does not cousider hin qualifiel to fill that posivon; and will not make the tender, e adminis- tration wants to send to Brazil alongheaded, cool-brained, judicious, constitutional lawyer to advise that young republic i its efforts to organize and mgintain a government,and General Muhone does not answer that de- scription, AN OPRORTUNITY FOR ARBITRATION. The threatened warin Central America of- fers a good opportunity for the testof Mr. Blhine's plan of arbitration as adopted ut the internationul A merican conference. Boththe government of Salvador and thatof Gua- temala have consented to the phn and signed the treaty and declared in so resolutions thit war on the contient should beno more, but so far as kuown neither nation has siguified its desire or even its willingness to submitthe difference to arbi. tration, Infactthereis no actual differemce toarbitrate, The affair is a revolution ruthey than a war. The late president of Salvador wis a firm believer in and advocate of the union of the Central American republics and signed the treatyof coalition, which was also signed by Guatemalaand Honduras, In fact the congress which decided upon the union mot at Salvador and the treaty was celebrated there. Butthe antiunion party in th 2 littlo republic broke out in rebellion, assassinated the president and took possession of the gov- emment.
