RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA. A Lotter Produced from Senator Sherman Which Gives His Views. ANNEXATION Poor Prospect That the Stock Gam- bling Measure Will be Resure rected at This Session of Congress. Wasnixerox Bunreau Tae’Omams Bee, FOURTRENTH STREET, WasiNatos, D. C., Sept. The following letter, written by Senator Sherman in November of last year, shows very conclusively the poslition he holds on the question of Canadian resiprocity and annex- ation : SexATE CHAMDER, WaAsniNaroN, Nov, 25, 1830.—My Dear + Your interesting letter of the2id is reccived and read with atten- tion. Iam move firmly of the opinion, the more Istudy the question, that the trué in- terests of the United States and Canada 1s their ultimate union under one government; that if this at present is not attainable the interests of the two peoples demand the utmost freedom of commercial intercourse and a free cxchange of productions. As to the best mode of bringing this about there may bea differenceof opinion. Diplomacy necessarily requires the assent of Groat Britian as well as Canada, a trlangular negotiation that experience shows is dificult ifnot_ impracticable. My own opinion, fre- quently expressed, is that the botter way is by concurrent legislution of the two powers, Canada is invested by the mother country uss tariff laws and regulations. Congress could by yvide that Canadian fish, uu.nf, lumber and iron and other llic ores be admitted of duty when- () the Dominion authorities should admit free of duty the chief articles of our produc- tion consumed in ada und give to our fish- ing vessels commercial rights to the full ex- tent allowed by both countries to ordinary 0] . The difficulty of coming se agreoment of the articles to be admitted reciprocally free could only be over- come by an exchange of views between the law-making powers of the United States and Canada. How to bring about an understand- ing between the Dominion and the United States is o matter that you and others decpl?' aterested in the free exchange of commodi- ties should study and point out. yours, Very truly JOHN SHEIMAN. THE §TOCK GAMBLING BILL. Representative Bliss of the agricultural committec had a private talk with Speaker Reed today to sce if some steps could not bo talen to rovive the Butterworth stock gam- bling bill. The spraker was rather discourag- iug, however, telling Mr. Bliss that for tho present at ledst the timo would be consumed with hearing contested election cases. After they were out of the way the tariff bill would probably comein for consideration. Chair- man Funston, head of the agricultural _com- mittee, is still laboring to secure signers to his petition asking the committee on rules to give the option bill another hearing within ten days. Cauuon, chairman of the commit- tee on rules, was asked what ho would do with such o' petition if it reached him: I would be disposed to givo the gambling bill another hearing,” said he, “but I don’t see now it can be done at present. The tarift bill 18 going to take up much of our time, and with the speaker thus disinclined to hurry the bill forward aud the chairman of the con- mittee on rules doubting as to the time need- od for it, there are no immediate_prospects that the bill can begalvanized intolifoagain.” TOBBYIST WEDDEBURN IS MAD, In talking with A. J, Weddeburn, the com- pound lard bill lobbyist, today he outlined a project by which ke hopes to securo the de- feat of those western congressmen who voted against the lard bill. Weddeburn {s an al- leged ofticer in the national grange. He edits a granger paper and itgoes before committees as “tho representative of the National Grange of America,”’ Weddeburn says he has got up u blacklist to be sent to_the heads of the granges throughout the wost. It will] set forth that the men who voted against the lard bill are enemies of the farmers and should be defeated. To- day he telegraphed to two districts where conventions ure about to be held, notifying sters of the local granges that the two renominations had bill, Weddeburn is the man who was accused of irregularities in connection with the mailing of his grange paper, but he manages to maintain a high sounding title in the grange community nd it is on the strength of this that he expects to make his blacklist formidable. A COMFORTABLE REBATE. Senator Stockbridge said today that hehad custom house figures to show that the exten- sive house of Armour & Co. in Chicago re- celved two-thirds of the entire drawback paid on foreign salt imported into this country for use on export meat, This feature of the salt schedule created considerable of a stir when it was debated in the senate the other day. Senators Cullom aud Allison, speaking in be- haif of the extensive meat exporters of their locality, urged that foreign salt had to be d, ' us the forcign consumer wouldwt buy American meat _ cured in American salt. But Senator Stockbridge, speaking for the_extensive salt industries of the Saginaw valley, wanted a duty maintained on this foreign salt used on because, as he then said, the drawback they received went into the pockets of a few mdat packers, who could be numbered on the fingers of his two hands. I didu't care to be personal in the debate,” said the senator today, “for I might have gone on and shown that of the 000 which the government pays in drawbacks to American _packers Ar- mour & Co. receive two-thirds of tho whole amount. 1 have the custom returns to show the exact facts” Which indicates clearly that Chicago is doing most of ¢ it export- ing trade which this country enjoys. MINISTERS AND THE CONTRACT LATOR LAY, Before the contract labor law was passed the house Saturday an amendment was pro- poscd exempting from ils provisions minis- ters of the gospel. This curious legislation was necessitated by & decision of the treas- ury department_that clergymen who were cailed from foreign countries to oceupy pul- pits in the United States were to be cousid- ered under the law as contract labor, and several instances have occurred in which churches in the United States have been pro- hibited from securing pastors of foreign birth, One = peculiar caso occurred on the line between Michigan and Canada, The congregation on this side of the boundary invited a pastor in a village on the opposite side tocome over and fill their pulpit. Some mischief makers wrote a letter to the secretary of the treasury, calling attention to the fact, and the departient was compelled to issuedn order prohibiting the engagement of this pastor. But in case senate coneurs in the action of the houso y terday clergymen will be exempt from th provisious of the act. ST TRANSPERS IN THE ARMT.

Cleveland has proposed the plan through its executive head, Mayor Gardner, and one of Cleveland's leading men, Colonel Meyer, has been talking of it to congressmen. Of course nothing will come of it. A postoftice has been established at For- sythe, Palo Alto county, Iowa, and Douglas A, Peck appointed to the same. Secretary Noble today decided the appeal of the state of Towa, embracing swamp lands in Wapello, Mahaska and Bremen counties, in favor of the state.

Sccretary Rusk proposes to do a little speechmaling to the farmers out west, Ho will go into Ohio about the middle of Septem- ver and will attend some agricultural fairs in Michigan at a later date, As a campaigner among the farmers Secretary Rusk stands at tho head, His western trips will not be of a political nature, however, thougl they may have a tendency to put in some strong strokes at an opportune time befove the elections.

B GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES, Cannon and Sawyer Make Statements Regarding Them, ‘WasniNaroy, Sept. 2.—In connection with the conference report on the river and harbor bill today Chairman Canuon of the house committee on appropriations made an ex- haustive statement touching the expendi- ‘| tures authorized during the present session of congress, He said the sam of $402,134,861 is properly chargeable against the probable revenues of the government for the fiscal year of 1891 and when deducted from the latter shows a surplus of $65,279,475. Following Cannon, Representative Sawyer presented a statement for his democratic colleagues on the committee, It says: the appropriations of the present congress we add the permanent and indefinite appropriations estimated by the secretary of the treasury, to-wit: $101.- 628,453, we will have aggregate appropria- tions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891 of #61,844,770, a8 against $450,414,387 of rvevenues, including postal receipts, thus making an_excess of appropriations over revenues of §11,430,442, S BARRUNDIA'S ASSASSINATION.

That the pres- ident is taking a personal interest in the case is indicated by the fact that attoday's meet- ing of the cabinct he sent for the telegram and read it aloud to the cabinet. He stated that the matter was now being investigated by the state department, and he expected s00n to be in possession of all the fucts in the case. TRIED TO MURDER MIZNER. Barrundia’s Daughter Shoots at the American Minister in Guatemala. GuatemMALA, Sept. 2.—The daughter of General Barrundia, who was shot to death last week, attempted to shoot United States Minister Mizner yesterday. She came upon the American minister in his offiee, and pull- ing out a revolver, accused him of having been the direct cause of her father's death, Mizner took the matter coolly and tried to reason with the girl, who was almost beside herself with excitement. At last she pulled the trigger, but the bullet struck a heavy law book which the minister bad picked up, The report of the pistol attracted atten- tion, and before she could fire another shot she was disarmed. The cooluess of the min- ister undoubtedly saved his hife. Mr. Mizuer will not prosecute the lady and msists that no further notice shall be taken of the affair, Denials are Easy Enough. Crry oF Mexico, Sept. 2.—Ofcials of the Guatemalan legation hers deny that any at- tempt was made to assussinato Mizer, Ameri- can minister to Guatemala, Condemn Barrundia’s Shooting.

Wasnivaroy, Sept. 2,—In the senate today Mr. Evarts presented resolutions of the Buf- falo merchants' exchange favoring reciproc- ity with nations to the south and north of the United States. The house bill fn relation to lotteries was reported from the postoffice committee and placed on the calendar with a notification by Mr. Sawyer that he would ask for its consid- eration as soon as the tariff bill was passed. Mr. Quay gave notice that he would ask the senate on Saturday, September 18, to con- sider resolutions relative to the death of Samuel J. Randall. Thetariff billwas then taken up and the sugar schedule was considered. Mr. Carlisle gave notice thot he would move to strike out all paragraphs relative to sugar bounties, Mr. Halo offered the reciproc ment, of which he had given notice on June 19, and addressed the senatoe upon it. Mr, Hale referred to the reciprocity message of President Harrison, and Blaine's letter and attitude in support of it, and to the fincreas- ing and earnest discussion of the subject. He assured the senators who represented sor- ghum and beot s districts that he was not in ar onism with them, If those se the policy of trying some benefits * from those countries for & repeill on their sugar duties he askel them how much more they objected to the unreserved repeal of thosedutics. 1t would be, e declared, a policy not much short of lunacy to repeal the sugar duties unless the repeal was used to obta some benefits for the products of American labor, To him one thing was as sure as the tides and sunrise, and tbat was that tho policy suggested Dy the president and the secretary of state and which had secured the attention and approval of the wise: men in the last thir ars was o poli had come to stay with the American peoplo. There never was a time more fitted to a plan or experiment than now and to his mind the amendment which he offered was the most fitting solution of the question. Mr. Allison made a long statement of the n!uc\qu and expenditures of the government and the probable effect of the tariff bill on financs He said the total expenditures fom the current fiscal year would be about $411 000,000 and the total revenues, i i postal receipts and everything, w about $160,000,000. If there was no tariff bill to be passed and if the situation re- mained unchanged there would be asurplus of revenue over expendifures for the current fiscal year of $19,000,000¥ He had not - cluded in'{he bxpenditures the amount that would be or claims against the other than those passed congress, He figured out the increase of £27,000,000 in revenue under the pending bill as against an increase of $61,- 500,000 from putting sugar and other articles on the free list, so that$ 3,500,000 had to be taken off from the surplus of $19,000,000, leav- ing some $15,000,000 surplus at the end of the year. Paying nothing to the sinking fund, taking into account the balance now in the treasury—$107,000,000-Mr, Allison calcu- lated vhat the secrctary of the treasury would have $78,000,000 on July 1, 1801, unless in the mcantime he redecmed 4% per cent bonds, as he _(Allison) hope the _ sceretary wuld proceed to do without delay. He dcclared that in his iudgment it was a wse thing to take off the sugar duties, He hid notthe slightest fear that there would be any danger from it tothe treasury, cer- teinly not within several years to come. He was also in favor of a further extension of reciprocal trade, but hoped that in any such arrangement it would be seen to that the United States had its just share of the bar- pain. 5 Mr. Gibson offered an amendment to the sugar schedule by adding the words “syrup of beet, sorghum or sugar cane.” He made an argument against the sugar bounty propo- sition and said it was a miserable dwindling away from Blaine's broad and generous propo- sition of full reciprocity. Mr. Sherman expressed his views on the subjec. of reciprocity and spoke of the diffi- culties in the way of recipro by treat; The first proposition of Mr. Hale's amen ment was alone a startling one, It authorized the president of the United States, without further legislation, to declare the ports of the United States free and open to all the pro- ducts of any nation of the American hemisphere upon which no cxs»orh duties are impos Was Cuba, he asked, a nation! He knew Senator Hale said today that he meant toinclude Cuba, but was Canada embraced inthatlistof mnations? He had asked the senator that question and the senator had replied, *“No, mno, that is quite a different thing.”” And yet if any reciprocal trade arrangements were madé with any country they ought to be made with ‘Canada, He went on to criticize unfayvorably the Hale amendment as one that would allow the free importation of wool, copper, zine, 1on, gold, silver, lead ores, etc,, but was informed by Mr. Hale that the amendment had unot been carefully drawa, but was simply intended to propose’ a simple plan of reclprocity, His own amendment had been intended to apply 1o only three or four articles—sugar, coffee, rubber and nitrate. He was inded by Mr. Sherman that Cuba produced no coffee and no rubber, so the arranzement with Cuba could ouly be as to the article of sugar, Mr, Hale—If thege is nothing to trade upon with advantage, then there will be no trade made, The plan which I suggested is com- orehensive but not definitive. If there is nothing to make a bargain upon, that scttles the question. Mr, Sherman—My fricnd from Maine is whittling down this magnificent theory un- til there is nothing left. Mr. Spooner suggested an amendment to apply to Canada, putting & duty of 10 per cent ad valorem on green coffee and 3 cents a pound amd 10 per cent ad valorem on roast and ground coffee and 10 per cent on tes, these duties being imitated from the Cana- dian tariff, A recess was then taken till 8 p. m. At the evening session Mr. Gibson moved a substitute for the sugar schedule paragraphs in the existing law, imposing duties on sugar. Mr. Dolpn concluded his speech against any reciprocity with Canada in the matter of cuuf. timber or agricultural products. Mr. Vance argued in support of the amend- mentoffered by him, reducing the rates of duty on all manufactures of steel and iron, all woolen and cotton goods, earthen glass @nd earthenware and all materialsused for fer- tilizers, when such goods are purchased abroad by any citizen of the United States by the exchange of American farm products or by the proceeds of the sale of such products. He said there would bea surplus this year of 5,000,000 bales of cotton, 100,000,000 bush- els of wheat and 500,000,000 busbels of corn. ‘What was to be done with all that surplus if the forcign market was to be closed! And yet the American farmer had been told by the venerable senator from Vermont (Mor- rill) that we produced too much and that the remedy was to limit the production, and he had béen told by a senator from Connecticut (Hawley) that if a high wall was maintained avound the United States for fifty years the | Awcrican farmer would come out afterwards vich and happy.

A mass meoting was held this evening at which William Lloyd Garmison and others spoke. The mention of Cleveland's free trade message in Garrison’s specch evoked loud cheers. Gurrison said: “Our reform has been marked with great wisdom. Its power has been felt by thedemocracy of the state of New York and the republicanism of tho country, which is nothing.
