The Mexican Reciprocity Treaty..

| WASHINGTON, January 18th. I. is ex.
pected that a considerable portion of the pres.
| enS week will be devoted by the Senate TO the
consideration of the Mexican reciprocity
treaty. a proposition has been made in ex
ecutive session that the discussion take place
with open doors, and many Senators ex-
pressed themselves in favor of it but the
precedents, with one exception, are against
such a course, and il is uncertain what de-
cision will be reached. 1t is believed the
| treaty will be ratified, but serious objections
! were made in the progress of the dis.
| Cussion. The Senators spprehend war
| and prospective annexation ss the result Of
! complications which they think are sure to
| grow out of the attempts of Americans to
! establish themselves in Mexico. Others hold
the opinion that if the President and Senate
may establish free trade relations with one
I.ation it may with sli, and thus exclude the
| popular branch of Congress from any partici.
| patton in the exercise of one of the most i'm
portsnt functions of the Government, that of
raising revenue. 1t will also be argued that
reciprocity treaties exist between Mexico and
other Powers, comforting upon them al the
| advantages granted the most favored nation,
and the ratification Of the present treaty
| would not therefore confer upon US conspicu-
| GUS advantages, since other nations must be
admitted to share its benefits. BY the pro.
visions of the treaty a ratification must take
place the present wetk, or tins matter falls
Pork.
ST.. LOUIS, January 13sh.-Emile Karst,
French Consul in this city, in an interview
regarding the French Government in relation
to American pork, made the following state
menr: g. An entirely erroneous impression
prevails in the L lifted States on the French
Governments course. Il is generally be
| lisved here chat the prohibition of American
| pork Importation was the result Of unscrup-
ul0us lobbying in the French Chambers.
This is all wrong. Lobbyists are unknown
in France The whole truth Of the matter
is that my Government was informed that
| 10000 pounds of diseased pork was about to
| be shipped abroad. Tue French Minister at
Washington was Eotifsd to inquire into the
rumor, and, although perhaps not so
| great an amount he'd been or was to be ex-
| ported, still q very large proportion of that
| sent abroad was the meat OF animals which
| had died from hog cholera. The American
Inspector at Chicago himself declared that S
| per cent of the hogs exported were diseased.
| THESE facts were transmitted to Francs, and
an embargo on the American hog was the re-
! suit. Rather ;hsn take the chances of eating
! trichin5e- affected pork in France, they de.
cided to have mons at all. That is tie whole
secret of the much agitated and much less I'm.
| derstood American hog question in France"
