OUR new Minister to Spain reports that
the negotiations for commercial reci-
procity treaty with that nation are pro-
crossing with every prospect of success.
The news ought to occasion the radical
tariff men unrest, since they insist that
reciprocity is but another name for free
trade, thereby disclosing their political
near-sightedness and lack of compreheu-
sion of what really constitutes protection
for the home market.

M'KINLEY's BONDED PERIOD.
The Resolution for It's Extension
Probably 5helved.

The Resolution for It's Extension
Probably Shelved.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-The resolution
introduced several days ago by Congress
man Flower to extend the bonded period of
the Mckinley tariff act, and which was
agreed to unanimously by the ways and
means committee, will probably go no fur
ther, although majority of the House is in
favor Of the resolution. The resolution was
reported to the House the other day, but as
several members desired to debate it Mai.
Mckinley withdrew it and thus the matter
now stands. Representative Flower said to
q Gazette reporter yesterday that petitions
were coming in every day from all parts of
the country from importers and merchants,
asking that the bonded period be extended.
"If unanimous consent could be OBJ
tained," said Mr.. Flower. "the reso-
luton would go through in a min
ute, but there are some republicans
who are opposed to the resolution and
would object to its passage. Maj. Nc
Kinley was very clever about the resolution
He was opposed to it on principle but as a
majority we're i'll favor of it he voted for
it, thereby making the action of the COM
mittee unanimous. The opposition to the
resolution in the House is, no doubt, due TO
the fact that some of the republi-
cans have expressed the opinion that
to pass this resolution would be
an admission of weakness on their part and
confession that the Mckinley act was
rushed through congress without regard to
the consequences that have followed. n
the bonded period is extended it will to
some extent relieve the money market, and
what the people want just now is more
money"

In the Z Ouse.

Probable successive adjournments for
or three days at time will mark the course
OF the House during the the Christmas
season. No business OF Importance is ex-
pected 70 be done. as 80 many members
have left Washing for home that quorum
can hardly be secured. The House was
prepared to take recess for the customary
ten Jays or two weeks. but the temper of
the Senate was found averse
to this and at meeting
of the ways and means committee yester-
day. when the Mills recess resolution was
considered, decided opposition was mani
tested to placing the House in the position
OF desiring ten days holiday when the SEN
ate wanted to 60 ON with its work.
Tomorrow is district day and the House
will probably pass upon local legislation
until some measure is proposed upon which
vote is demanded and the absence of
quorum is thereby disclosed. Such other
days IN the week as the House is in session
will be devoted to comparatively unin-
portant measures and to roll calls on motions
to adjourn
Several appropriation bills have been re-
ported and IN effort may be made to pass
some one Of these.

Salt Inspectors Burned Alive and
Executions Follow.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 2l.-Chsnese
advices report the execution of sentences on
villagers near Shanghai, China, for the
cruel murder of fourteen salt inspectors,
and burning the bodies of the wounded and
dead. Last March these salt inspectors
made a raid on the village. They wore no
uniform, ard the villagers mistook them for
pirates. The inspectors seized a pile of
contraband salt, which they found by the
side Of a house, and while removing 1t to
their boats they were attacked by the vii
layers and overpowered.
BURNED IN THEIR BOAT.
Nearly all we're only stunned by the
blows, but visit to their boat showed the
villagers that they had attacked govern
ment officers, and, fearfu! Of severe punish =
ment, they decided to burn the boat, and
with it the bodies of the two undar inspec-
tors, TO remove all traces of the
crime. So they carried the injured men
to the boat. and, despite their entreaties,
set fire to it and burned the whole. The
chief criminal was sentenced TO decapita-
tion, but committed suicide before the day
arrived, and according to the law his body
was exhumed and the head struck off, and
exhibited as warning to the public. Four
others were strangled and four exiled aftor

The Last Vain Hope of It's Advocates

WASHINGTON Dec. 21.-The advocates Of
a cloture rule among the republican sena-
tors have hit upon a new device for putting
the rule through the Senate la Reed,
if the time ever comes when the democrats
have talked as much as all the republicans
think they should. The scheme is
to have the Vice President as
presiding officer of the Senate
submit the question Of ordering the pre-
vious question to the Senate and then to
count upon the force of party spirit to make
all the republicans vote to sustain the de-
mand for the previous question. The
trouble with this scheme is that all the re-
publicans cannot be united on any such
programme by caucus OF conference The
suggestion OF it shows that the radicals

HOLIDAY TIME IN CONGRESS.
Both Houses to Sit, But Very Little
VIII be Accomplished,

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-It is unlikely
that any positive legislation viii be
achieved in congress this week, and the
failure TO take the usual holiday recess is
not expected to result in any measurable
advancement of the public business.
In the Senate the elections bill will prob
ably continue to engross attention, and the
list OF prospective speakers now in the
hands OF the Vice President is large enough
to warrant the assumption that they will,
NJ uninterrupted, consume the first three
days of the week. The possibilities
of interruption hinge altogether upon
the result of the negotiations now
in progress among the republican senator's
upon the subject of the caucus financial bill.
IL harmonious understanding to support
this measure is reached. the elections bill
may be laid aside in its favor, and the dis
cussion in the Senate turn on financial mat
ters until the day before Christmas, when
it is expected that recess will be taken
until Monday.
