WAsHIEGToN, Nov. 2L--It has been
aseertained from an official source
that the report recently published
concerning the English claim against
the Argentine Republic is a misstate.
ment of the facts. The truth is that
there was no confseation of British
property, and no menace Of force on
the part of the British Government
against the Argentine Republic.
The question at issue was discussed
solely through diplomats notes, and
merely of claims for damages prefer
red by coal dealer on a shipment of
coal.
The Hon. Reverdy johnson, il is
true, has been selected as arbiter In
the case. The Argentine custom laws.
reduces the tariff on some of the
American imports and exports for
1870. The importers of lumber and
pl0ws to the Argentine Republic will
be Interested to learn that the reduc-
tion OF duties on those articles is from
22 to 10 per cent. The reduction is
equal to an average of four dollars in
gold on plow.
The export duties on unwashod
wool and sheep skins has also been
reduced from six to two aud half
per cent. for 1870. 4 pamphlet has
just appeared entitled 1" Remarks con
cerniDg the means to re establish the
declining state of commerce between
the United States and the Argentine
Republic ty tie proper reduction of
the present tariffs" The fact is stated
that The quantity of Argentine wool
purchased by tho United States was
only $4,000 pounds in 1867, having
been nearly e, 800 900 pounds previous
to the adoption Of The new tariff The
pamphlet concludes by pressing upon
Congress the necessity AID propriety
of a reduction of the time rates of
duty 90 the ground that a reduction
OF the import duties on wool and
hides will be profitable to everybody
interested in the commo rcinl prosper
ity of the American manufactures
and trade. as we'll as beneficial to the
nation and Argentine producers and
Consumers of American i;ties.

termed good authority, that there is
no truth in the report from Washing

ST. LOUIS. November 81 The
United States Local Inspectors made
a report to the Supervising Inspect
ors of Steamboats, of this district on
the Stonewall disaster. They say
nothing new, but close their report
with the following recommendations
First. That ali hay should De car
ried in the hold Of steamers. or, if on
deck. should be securely baled and
covered with tarpaulins.
Second. There should be on all
steamers, whilst under way or loading,
IN addition to the ordinary watchman,
a special police for the main deck, day
and night, specially charged to guard
against fro.
Third. All steamers carrying pas
sengers should be required 20 have a
complete register OF all persous on
board before leaving port.
The labor Of removing the debris of
the Fifth Street building was con-
tinued all last night and to-day. This
afternoon two more bodies were dis
covered, but as the removal of the
timbers necessary to their extrication
would probably result In bringing
down a portion of the adjoining wall,
the work was suspended temporarily,
and the wall braced up. The erection
Of q soaffold in front of the Fifth
Street wall progressed day aud night,
and tho work of taking down the wall
will probably begin tomorrow.

conference as to the rights ard wants
of our city. Bonded railroad routes
and bonded warehouses and their
benefits were discussed.
1t seemed TO be the opinion Of that
meeting that the above named aids
to our commercial prosperity were
needed; and further. that this city,
with those of Cincinnati, Louisville
and st. Leuis, should be made ports
Of entry, ss they are now only ports
of delivery.
IF those having The interests Of the
