Hon. Thomas Ryan Interviewed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-In an inter
view on Mexican Import taxes, Hon.
Thomas Ryan, ministero of the United
States to Mexico, said yesterday.
ga decree has been issued to take
effect the first of the month, removing
lives took and fresh meats from the
free lists and imposing q tariff. The
tariff on fresh meats viii be five cents
pound. which is practically prohibit
tory. The tariff on live stock is scarce
~ less. There are no statistics showing
she value of exports from the United
States to Mexico. but their volume is
large and to the best of my judgment
the balance of trade has been several
millions in our favor. The United
States pays out 800, GOO 900 in cash
annually for products which Mexico
could furnish us and would take in
exchange the products otsour manufac-
tories and enterprises. believe that
even limited measure of reciprocity
would within five years develOpe a
Mexican commerce of 800, O00, 000 an
nually. Mexico wants machinery. ag-
ricultural implements, clothing, tools,
meats, live stOck-eyerythin we can
furnish her, in fact. The country
$50 900 600 is by tariff on imports yet
she would be willing to sacrifice part
of this undoubtedly to secure recipro-
cal relations with the United States. y

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. sO.-The
greater amount of information received
concerning the restitution in North
Dakota the more difficult does it APP
pear to form an adequate idea of the
distress prevailing there. Yesterday
it was estimtted that fully 10000 peo-
pie were bordering on the last stage of
restitution. The magnitude of the
problem which confronts these twin
states is appalling. So far contributions
are inadequate to the necessities of the
case. In regard to South Dakota,
while the distress there is very bad it
is not to be compared either in magni-
tude or intensity to that of the north
efn state. Probably 1000 families are
destitute, but they can be nearly all
taken care Of by the towns surround
ing the district. In Miner county
there @re 5000 people who will need
help. They have neither food or fuel
In Huron county relief is equally
