RECIPROCITY.
Views Of Pacific Coast congressman on
the Subject.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.-A special dis
patch from Washington to the Press, which
had large number of Congressman inter-
viewed ON the subject of reciprocity, gives
the views of several Pacific Coast Represen-
tatives as follows:
w. w. Morrow said: 81 am not in favor
of the wholesale scheme of reciprocity, but
do not regard unfavorably any advanta-
geous plan based upon cur relations with
countries which produce articles of general
consumption not produced generally 10 this
country. / think the Hale amendment,
properly revised, would be very acceptable"
William Vandever said: 81 think reel
procity is a delusion and snare. 1t IS a
humbug-all romance and no reality. Ger
| many, England and France are ahead of us
in their commercial relations with the South
American nations, and they will keep ahead
of us and circumvent us all the lime. and we
will play second fiddle. Along the Mexican
border is what Is called the iona Llbre.
Thieving European importers ship their
goods into the United States at New York.
They are not dutiabe, as they are in transit
to Mexico. They 90 on through to the free
zone between this country aud Mexico,
where they are unloaded, and. by regular
system of fraud and smuggling, are passed
back across our border duty free. This Is
known i'll the State Department. The Pan
Americans knew this, but Mexico would not
listen 10 any discussion OF IL. 1alK ABOUT
reciprocity with Mexico with such a eondi-
ton of affairs existing as the wellknown
importers frauds on the revenues OF the
United StatesI Bah! l don't favor any
plan of reciprocity, for L think it is all a
glitterng humbug."
McKenna is understood to be opposed on
principle 10 any reciprocity provision that
Will let in foreign sugar OIL an equality with
that grown III the United States.
L. Hermann of Oregon said; am under
the impression that reciprocity opens the
door to widely, in some respects, 70 free
trade. If extended too far, it v i'll not only
endanger tie interest of my State, but of the
entire Pacific Slope. L mention wool as one
article which should be protected. l shall
favor reciprocity if properly brought about
and we of the West are properly protected.
To accept it wholesale would be practical
reputation of our position on Chinese
cheap labor. Why should we exclude cooly
labor If ships come back filled with products
OF equally cheap labor from other countries
to compete with the labor of our States?"
Bartine of Nevada said: "On general
principles | am opposed to reciprocity. L
think it is the first break in the bulwark Of
tile protective tariff. Ii carried out gener-
ally, it will affect my constituents seriously.
The only competition we have on lead in
our silver ores is from Mexico. You can
see how reciprocity with Mexico in this re-
gard would affect us. would want some
very strong showing of advantages to be
derived before l would indorse it,

ley. looking to the consideration Of the
amendments in the House instead OF in
Committee OF the Whole. and vote upon

Gated with the minority members of the

failed TO do anything at the bat.
The Colonels opened the game by scoring
one run, while the StocktonS went out in
one, two, three order

WORLDS FAIR SITE.
An Attractive LOCltiOn for The Exhibit
From California.

CHICAGO. Sept. 13.-COncerning Thurs
days Worlds Fair meeting in San Francisco,
the Tribune SAYS: Even if these resolutions
were not unnecessary from every point Of
view, 1t hardly would be proper to pass
them. A dual site was accepted by the Ma
tional Commission, in which California had
two representatives, who, it is 10 be pre-
sumed, presented and advocated the wishes
of their people. If they were outvotel in q
fair, open contest, that ought TO end the
matter, and protests would be in bad taste.
But it so happens that since the tender made
by the Directors early in July was adopted,
material changes have been made In the site,
and it is improper for any one to talk about
horticultural and agricultural exhibits being
several miles from tile attractive features OF
the exposition. AT first, the site consisted
of $50 acres of lake front and 400 of Jackson
Park. Since then, for wel.-knowa reasons,
the 100 acres have shrunk to something over
fifty, while the jackson Park portion has
been enlarged by the addition Of 160 acres of
good, dry, imp owed land. which stands ready
for buildings. Thus, one end of
the dual site has lost and the
other has gained. As the area of
one has shrunk, so have the attractive
features which will be placed on it. As the
area of the other has grown, so have the
number of attractions il Will contain. There
will not be on the lake front more than
three buildings, one of which will remain
alter the fair is over, and the others Will be
removed. In comparison with the features
of the exposition, which will bs placed at
Jackson Park, those on The lake-1r0nt will
be little more than a side show. The latter
will owe what value they will have chiefly
to the fact that they can be visited at night,
while those at Jackson Park cannot be-
The fair people will be at tile southern end
Of the dual site, where the Caifornians will
place their horticultural, agricultural and
other exhibits. They will not be off on one
side, but i'll the very heart of the fair, and
its chief objects of interest will be within the
same inclosure as themselves. So the Cali
fornians might as well withdraw their un-
timely resolutions. The changes made in
the site since the 1st Of July, which have
taken % per cent off tue attractivcness of
the Like front and added that much or more
to the interesting features of jackson Park,
have settled the question where the real
fair will be, and have made 1t certain that
the Californians and their great interests
will not suffer for lack of visitors. Whoever
attends the fair will see all they have to
show.

AT SACRAMENTO.
The Friscos Even Up Matters With the
Senators in Great Shane.


SACRAMENTO, Sept 13.-About the same
sized crowd as was present yesterday Wit
messed today's game. San Francisco ad-
mnistered a sound drubbing to the home
team, the score being Is TO 2.
Harper was hit for two home runs, two
triples, three two-baggerS and seven singles,
besides giving three bases on balls and hit
ting three batsmen. His three wild ?. .tches
let in as many runs.
CoughIin, on the other hand. Kept his hits
scattered up to the niEth, when three were
bunched, which, with an error, gave the
Senators their only runs.
Nothing but fine fielding kept the Senators
from scoring before, Levy, Hanley, Shea,
Veach and Everett doing fine work. ReitZ
while in the sulks made two errors, which
allowed two or three runs to score.
Roberts did great work in left field, having
four put-outs and two assists. Everett and
Ebright each made hOme-run hits to left
field, the latter's bounding over the fence.
Speer and McHale did good work behind
the plate. each playing splendid bail.
Tomorrow Bowman resumes his position

ful inquiry to be made to-day as to the prob
ability of Congress fixing later date than
November 1st as provided in the pending
Tariff Bill for the withdrawal Of bonded
merchandise under existing schedules, and
Assistant Secretary Nettleton has given the
Associated Press the following statement as
to what conclusions have been reached:
"The information obtained renders 1t
as sure as any future legislative event can
be f0reseen that the date Tor the withdrawal
of goods will be fixed for February l, 1891.
Indeed. owing TO the well-nigh universal re-
quest from the business community tile
later date will be fixed, and as there Is
general feeling of apprehension, groundless
or otherwise. connected with the earlier
date. there appears to be but little opposl-
ton to the change. The Senate committee
has held no FORMAL conference as to the
matter, but 1 have seen Aldrich, Allison
and Hiscock of the Senate committee and
Chairman Mckinley Of the House. and am
able to state definitely from my inter glews
with them that they favor the proposed eX-
tension to February The President to-day
expressed his concurrence in the suggested
change" ~Ira

AN EXCITED MARKET.
Wild Fluetuation 10 Germ and What Qnc.
tations in Chicago

Wild Fluctuations 10 Corn and What onc.
tations in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept 1a. All the bulls Of
Bashan were letloose on the Board u Trade
at the opening. May corn, the leading op-
tion, closed at 81 to 53c last night, and
opened this morning anywhere from 54 to
56c in different parts of the pit Inside OF
two minutes it was down to 53Ae, when it
became less wild, rising to 53lac.
The chief cause of the furOre were reports
of killing frosts in the Northwtst, iDtensi-
fed by the posting of notice OF the failure
of Smith & Co., who have been heavy dealers
in corn.
December wheat, which closed at 81 05B
last night, opened wildly at 81 07, quickly
receded to 81 06A, steadied, r d up ard at
the end of fifteen minutes stood at 81 cos.
The tiZz was soon off the market and pii:es
went down rapidly. Before noon May
corn sold off to 52s4c and December wheat
to 81 04h.
