COMMERCIAL RECIPROCITY.
Blaine's Bluffs the Origin of Number
OF Rumors.

WASHINGTON, April Z. Secretary
Blaine's blufing offer of commercial recip-
rocity to the Argentine Republic and his
attempt, yet unsuccessful, to get the repub-
licans to insert in the tariff bill an offer of
commercial reciprocity TO any country
south of us, have started all sorts of stories
about negotiations for treaties of CONNER
cial reciprocity. none of which have any
other origin. The very latest report is that
treaty of commercial reciprocity
is about TO be consammated with Mexicn,
to be followed by similar treaties with en-
tral and Sonth American states Investi-
cation to-day elected an authoritative de-
nial of these reports. Mexico il still con-
scious of her disappointment at the failure
of congress to accept and execute the Grant
Romero commercial reciprocity treaty, and
is not eager to try another just yet She
will be slow to move in the direction of
new negotiations until she is sure that some
substantial result will come of them. 1t
would not. perhaps, be enough Of an assur-
ance to have congress take the Initiative,
for the Grant Romero treaty was nego-
tiated under the authority of a resolution
of congress

VIRGINIA s MEAT INSPECTION.
The Law Declared Contrary to the
Federal Constitution.

The Law Declared Contrary to the
Federal Constitution.
RICHMOND, VA, April 7.--William Reb--
man, agent for Armour & Co. at Norfolk,
Va, was arrested some weeks ago for
violating the state law by selling beef
which had been slaughtered more than 100
miles from the place where it was offered
for sale without having been
inspected. He was fined and refused
to pay the fine, whereupon he
was s5nt to Jail in default. The counsel
applied to Judge Robert w. Hughes of the
United States circuit court for a writ of
habeas corpus, which was granted, and the
case was argued before Judge Hughes at
Norfolk last Tuesday by Armour's attorney;
aud Attorney General Scott. To-
day the court sitting here..
in lengthy opinion, decided
the law unconstitutional, and the court held
that as the federal constitution gives con-
gress exclusive control of inter state COM
merce, and as dressed bsef is an article OF.
such commerce, the states cannot legislate
on the subject; that the Virginia act is in
valid, because it did not have its origin in
necessity and is unreasonable in character;
in fact Is practically prohibitory Of dresssdi
beef entering Virginia from other states
Accordingly the agent for Armour & Co.
was released from custody. The case will
be carried to the supreme court of the
United States.

BAD FOR THE BUCKET SHOPS.
Large Grain Dealers No Longer AL
lowed to Post Quotations.

lowed to Post Quotations.
CHICAGO, April THE board of trade
to-day gave another turn to The screw
which it is applying to the bucket shops in
the matter of quotations. 1t has been the
custom of large dealers to post the fiuctua-
tions of grain and produce in their offices
for the convenience OF their customers. 1t
was suspected that these pcsuings
were being taken advantage Of
by the bucket shops, and consequently this
source of possible quotations was cut of to-
day, and as a consequence the bucket shops
got quotations less frequently and less
promptly than they had done heretofore.
The result is that the bucket shops showed
signs of distress. 1t was five minutes after
the board opened to- day before they OBJ
tanned the opening price, and, it is claimed,
they were five to ten minutes behind all
day, and then got about eight or ten quota
tions made. The board is greatly en-
couraged, and the sentiment is almost unan-
imously in favor Of radical measures in
order to accomplish the end sought. All
suspicious parties, whether on the floor or
in the corridors below, were closely
watched. Many who were fouad carrying
messages to the bucketshops were sum
marily bounced. In. sending quotations
fromlthe floor to various Offices and abroad
by telegraph ciphers ara becoming more
common. This prevents the messengers
from giving the quotations away and also
obtaining information by tapping the
wires

MOBILES SUNDAY FEAST.
THE BREAKFAST THE TOPIC OF
THE DAY AT THE CAPITAL.

An Inspired Account of the Extraor-
dinary Decorations Of the Extraor-
binary Feast-All the Floral Pieces
OF Symbolic Signif1cance-Mrs. Noble
Said to be Responsible for Them.
WASHINGTON. April 7.-Secretary Z. Mobiles
Easter Sunday breakfast, at which it is be-
lieved not only the President and other
members of the cabinet, but the Vice Presi-
dent, with all the members of their fami-
lies, declined to be present, was the
talk of the town to-day. At
the capitol no less than in
the clubs and drinking rooms it was the
leading topic. 1t was generally condemned
as being at least in very bad taste, If not.
as many people think, sacrilegious. 1t is
said that tae President and the other men,
bers of the cabinet are much annoyed by it,
and very anxious about its effect on the
religious people of the country.
AN INSPIRED PUBLICATION.
What added to their chagrin at this un-
precedented performance was the publica-
tion in the local newspapers of an ap-
parently inspired" account of the
extraordinary decorations of the extrordi-
sensibility who read it. 1t was as follows:
1.-The decorations were elaborate and origi-
nal. Mrs. Noble having spent much time in
planning them. The floral designs were all
symbols used by the early Christians in
amalgamating the symbolism of the pagan
worship and the Christian religion. The
Tyre symbolized the divine harmony of the
church. A huge Tyre was placed in one
corner of the breakfast room, composed of
yellow flowers and hung with garland of
roses.
A PEACOCK.
"Upon one wall was placed peacock,
the Hindoo symbol of a glorious immortal
ity. The grape vine, which is d symbol of
Gods wisdom, occupied the place of honor
upon the west wall. The vine was worked
into large square mat with center
of white lilies. Across the large mirror
flashed q rainbow, the bow of promise,
which was made ia prismatically hued
flowers. This completed the floral decora-
tions The breakfast was served at four
small tables each seating six guests and
having a handsome center-piece. Upon one
was huge butterfly made of pansies and
signifying the resurrection.
THE CIRCLE.
"The second table had for center piece
the circle symbolizng God, the circle SYM
bolizing thej world and the church, and the
octagon, being union of the square and
circle. symbolizing the dual nature of
Christ. This was made of tri-colored car
nations.
"The third table had a large circle made
of white carnations, upon which appeared
| in red the christian monogram.
THE fourth table had an oval mountain
| of spring flowers, including white and
| purple lilacs, ionquils, violets and mign-
| onette One side of the room was filled in
| with palms and tall Easter lilies, and a
| portiere Of smilax swung at the door. The
menu was elaborate, and the symbols were
| carried out in the deserts, for the cakes
were moulded into the shape of dolphins,
the sacred fish, and the ices came in the
| shape of turtles, which signify lifting up
| of the christian spirits.
