SENATOR FRYE TO SECRETARY BLAINE.
Doubts as to the Feasibility Of tho
Reciprocity Proposition.
Would Spain Be willing to Admit
our Goods Into Cuba?
The House Sends for Its Absent
ones-Mr. CuIIon Again.
Especial to the Press.l


WASHINGTON, July 16.-This afternoon
Senator Frye made public letter in which
he clearly and succinctly suggests the doubts
which leading Repu blicans of the House and
Senate feel as to the feasibility OF Mr..
Blaine's plan for exchanging our sugar tariff
for reciprocal advantages in Cuba, Porto
Rico and Central and South America. Writ
ing to Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Frye says: "Your
letter leaves me in some doubt as to the
facts. assume that your views are con-
tanned in what is known as the Hale amend
ment; that you know for instance what the
LatinRepublics will receive Of ours free from
duty In compensation for free sugar. l as
sumo that the amendment was the result Of
thorough investigation. The difficulty about
1t Is this: The amount OF sugar to be re-
ly small and the consumer Of sugar would
receive no benefit from It,: Your letter to
me iextends this idea Of reciprocity to
Cuba and Porto Rico. I admit
If sugar is received free from
those. Islands, as well as from the Latin
and sugar would be practically free. But
will Spain admit into these islands free Of
duty the list Of articles named in that
amendment OF course we could not enact
a law more favorable to Spain than to the
Republics. Do you know what Spain would
exchange for free sugar? and can you give a
list Of articles she would receive? The bet
ter way, probably, would be to make the
list she would receive the controlling one for
all these countries"
The Republicans Of the House and Senate,
who are the closest students Of the tariff and
even better acquainted with the practical
details Of the system than Mr.. Blaine, have
felt that nothing could be gained by the
plan proposed by Mr.. Blaine, and this ex-
plains why reciprocity claim has not been
put into the tariff bill by the committee,
either In the House or Senate. The people
Of the country are demanding cheaper sugar,
but this cannot be obtained by reciprocity
arrangements, since the moment there is no
advantage Of price to the Cubans and South
Americans, there is no advantage to them in
reciprocity.

mont; referred.
Mr.. Sawyer introduced bill 20 establish
limited postal and telegraph service; re-
ferred.
The Senate resumed consideration Of the
sundry civil appropriation bill, the pending
amendment being to increase the appropria-
tion for surveying public lands from 5000, 600
to 5000. co. The amendment was agreed to.
The next amendment that provoked dis
cussion increases the item for Topographic
surveys from 100000 to 100000, adding
these words:
Half OF the sum to be expended west OF the hun
dred and first meridian, and so mucn of the act
Of October End, 1888, entitled an act making ap-
propriaiiOns for the sundry civil expenses of the
government for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1885, provides for the selection and location OF
reservoirs and canals upon the public lands and
the reservation of irrigable lands is hereby re-
pealed. provided that reservoir and canal sites
heretofore located or selected shall remain aggre.
gated and reserved from entry or settlement until
otherwise provided by law-
Mr.. Vest inquired as to the object Of the
limitation.
Mr.. Allison replied the object was to re-
quire the director of the geographical survey
TO extend his Typographical work, that being
the first step in ascertaining proper places
for the location of reservoirs, etc. 1t had
been thought the director would be able In
that way to use considerable portion of the
funds in establishing reservoirs under the
regular appropriation for the geological sur
vey.
Mr.. Vest said he supposed that was sur
vey but he was not inclined, with all the OBJ
servatlon and attention he had been able to
give the subject 10 go into the irrigation
business to the extent proposed by its
friends. He had very great doubt whether
the system was practicable and he had
much greater doubt whether the results
would justify the outlay.
Discussion was continued at length. Dur
ing its temporary suspension, Mr.. Cullom
offered a resolution, which was agreed to,
calling on the Secretary of the Treasury to
report whether the loading, bonding, sealing
and manifesting Of cars and vehicles in
Canadian territory for transit through Cana
dion territory In bond to American ports can
be done with safety to the revenue and with
a proper regard to American interests: and
whether the proper enforcement of the inter
state commerce law, can be had upon all
transportation alike, when partly in
transit through foreign territory: and to
what extent such loading, bonding, sealing
and manifesting of cars nr vehicles In Cana
da Is done and under what law, statute or
treaty.
