WAsHINoroN CRY, Nov. 1A-Some inter.
esting remarks bearing on reciprocity were
exchanged today on the occasion of the re-
ception of Senior Guanes, the new Spanish
minister to the United States, by President
Harrison. Senior Guanes said:
The International exchange OF the products
and manufactures of the United States and
Spain 10 surely one If the necessary laws that
are based upon the instincts and universal
nerds OF the present day. The great difference
between their Gus oms, dispositions, and the
productions OF their labor makes IL necessary
for nations to come closer together and increase
their exchanges To maintain these interests
and to contribute to their development shall be
an object Of my most solicitous care.
President Harrison, replying, said:
II 10 most gratifying that in thus entering
Upon your n ssion You express in the name of
your sovt reign and Of the Spanish nation, .
warm des re for continued harmony OF reIa-
tions and intimacy Of intercourse between the
United States and Spain. Inspired by like sem
timents, count upon your promised aid In de-
veloping the larger relations and closer ties Of
amiiy and commerce which both nations desire
for their reciprocal advantage
The department. of state has received dis
patches from Consul-Generai Williams, at
Havana, stating that the chairmen OF vari-
Gus business associations have been re-
quested by the government to appoint
committees to 60 to Spain and report views
upon the negotiation OF reciprocity treaties
with the United States. He also incloses q
translation from an editorial in a leading
Havana paper, strongly favoring reciproc-
lty and taking to task the Spanish cabinet
for pronouncing petitions from Cuba impu-
dent, as tending to encourage the Yankees
to be more exacting. The editorial goes on
to say: Tho United States governments
in possession of the most exact
information concerning Cuban affairs. and
that information in the possession Of Sec
retary Blaine is of so decisive q character
as TO enable him to say to Spain: Accede;
agree. as is just. to my policy of CONNER
cial reciprocity, or will sink the sugar
plantations of Cuba. The editorial adds
that the day this prime industry is lost all
the minor industries will be lost with it.
All other industries" it says, "live and
flourish because we plant cane, make sugar
and sell it to the United States. Blaine
knows this, and acts accordingly. Our
campaign had to be undertaken"
Minister Pitkin has arrived from the
Argentine Republic, and, it is believed,
brings with him q treaty on the basis of
the reciprocity treaty with Brazil, his first
work there.
Minister Romero, of Mexico. has been a
good deal in consultation with Secretary
Blaine, and it is believed on this subject.
Secretary Blaine is actively engaged in
consulting representatives of various South
American countries on the matter.

culture, He Says.
LoNDoE, Nov. H.-Sir Lyon Playfair. in
speech II Leeds last night, dwelt at great
length on the tariff policy of the United
States. He cited q host OF statistics to
show that the consumer always paid the
extra duty. The eff ects OF the tari ff vii
be disastrous TO American agriculture. He
declared that Canada will be able to supply
Great Britain with all the food she now
gets from the United States II Canada
wound reconstruct her tariff on revenue
principles Europe and Asia would con-
tribute to her future commercial prosperity.
Referring TO the meat inspection bill Of
America, he declared that the empowering
OF the president to boycott nations was
an ACT unworthy Of great nation. boy
cott never ought to be recognized by inter-
national law. He considered the recip-
rocity clause in the Mckinley bill safety
valve to prevent high pressure from blow
ing mp protection. Already there were
signs in Germany. Italy and elsewhere of
fiags of distress in the protection camps.
Though England might be injured for .
year or two by United States legislation, he
hoped she would not dream of reprisal.
The Times in long editorial says Sir
Lyons Is the most complete exposure yet
published on either side of the Atlantic of
the sbsurdity of the Mckinley tariff. The
opponents OF high protective duties, it
says, could hardly do better than to circu-
late his dispassionate argument among the
American electorate before the next con-
test Tor the control of executive power.

NEw YoRK, Nov. A-In the Sun tomor-
row will appear q letter addressed TO the
editor from Jay Gould, in which the writer
says there are . group Of roads known as
the Western and South western systems
traversing the most fertile and rapidly de-
veloping territory in the United States:
that the stock and bonds of these proper
ties are held by thousands of investors in
the East, and upon the prosperity of these
roads many smallinvestors depend for div
idends upon which to live. Something
over eighteen months ago." writes Gould.
during period of great depres-

invited the presidents of these
roads to meet The result of that meeting
was the formation of the so-called .presi-
dents agreement and it may interest you
10 know the difference in the net earnings
of this group of roads, as between the rates
which were established and maintained for
several months after the agreement and the
rates that prevailed under the loose and
disorganized state of affairs that has existed
since the agreement was broken. I esti-
mate the total number of tons moved one
mile annually by this group to be 16. 6.000, 900.
The auditor of one of these roads furnished
statement showing the difference between
the rates under the presidents agreement
and the present rates, which amounted
to an increase of 1 4-10 mills
Per ton per mile. Applying this difference
OF 4-10 mills to 1900 900 gross annual
tons one mile give the startling figure of
