Senator Frye Thinks 1t Is too Late to Amend
the Tariff Bill.
New YORK, July ia Press Washing
ton special says: Senator Frye to-day re-
1eived Secretary Blaine's reply to the for
mer's letter dealing with Spain's embargo
upon American breadstuffs. Frye said
to the Press correspondent: "It seems
to me- that it is too late to
amend the Tariff Bill as Blaine sug-
gests. Were we to arrange it
so as to reach a reciprocal agreement with
Spain. fear we would embarrass ourselves
with the Latin-American republics. My
idea is that we can remove all this per-
plexity by cutting the duty on sugar one
half. Perhaps l am wrong, but this seems
to me the most easy way out of the difficulty.
l don't know what cores pondence Blaine
has had with Spain. but | trust in reply to
my letter he will indicate how we can Sc
cure our market in Porto Rico and Cuba
without bringing us into an unpleasant
controversy with the South Americans"
