Mr. HALE offered the reciprocity amend
ment in the Senate, on the I'd, OF which
he had given notice on June 12, and ad-
dressed the Senate upon 1t. The desira-
bility of such an interchange OF products as
the amendment proposed, he said, had been
subject which had given rise to the closest
attention, and had resulted in grave and
pertinent suggestions from eminent pub-l
lie men Of the United States during the
last thirty years. Whoever had seen the
gradual falling on of American trade with
Central and South America and the isles Of
the sea must have Witnessed those condi-
tions with the greatest impatience. The
people OF all those countries had q common
interest with the people OF the United
States. Alluding to the late Pan-American
Congress, Mr.. Hale said that It proved that
the same considerations which had their
influence in the Uunited States were
eminent men from tho sister repub-
lies who took part In tho proceedings
of that congress, and that thoy pointed to
the one sure and Inevitable end-the in
crease of trade and commerce between the (
United States and those peoples. Those con-
siderations which applied to an extension
OF trade and an increased Interchange OF K
products, applied not only to the nations OF
Central and South America, bnt to the
islands Of the Spanish Main. In the House
the Clayton -Breckinridge election case was
called up. but was not disposed OF.
AwRITTnN communication from the os-
wego Board OF Trade contradicting a state
ment Of the Secretary Of Agriculture on
the subject of the production of barley was
presented to the Senate on the Sd inst. by
Mr.. Evarts, who asked that it be printed in
the Congressional Record Objection to that
was made, but 500 copies were ordered printed
for Immediate distribution. Mr.. Rusk's
statement was that barley is the only cereal
of which there Is not raised sufhciency
for home consumption. The denial Is to
the effect that the annual production Of the
United States is about 60,000,000 bushels
and that the quantity used last year
for mailing purposes was less than
IS, 100000. Ten million bushels had been
imported from Canada-the quality being
superior for mailing purposes to that of the
United States barley. Mr.. Call offered q
resolution, which was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, declaring Ehat
the murder of Gen. Barrundia on the steam
er Acapulco, by the authorities OF Guate-
mala, while under the protection Of the flag
of the United States was an insult to the
people of the United States. and demanded
prompt action by the Government Of the
United States for the redress of that injury
and for security against the recurrence Of
the sugar scbednle beine under considera.
