Probability of a Reduction in the Duties
of American Products.
WASHINGTON, August 9th.-A very i'm
portant conference between the Republic
can members of the Senate Committee on
Finance the other day has escaped atten-
ton. 1t was held for the purpose of reach
ing some agreement as to the policy 10 be
pursued with regard to Mr.. Blaine's prOpo-
sition to amend the sugar section OF the
tariff bill. So as to enable the President to
negotiate reciprocity treaties. John w. Fos-
ter, who has been Minister to Mexico, Russia
and Spain, and negotiated the reciprocity
treaties with the latter country in 1884, was
present by invitation and gave his views at
great length.
Mr.. Foster expressed the most profound
confidence that il would be an easy matter
to secure a renewal Of that treaty and a
| free entry of our food products into the
| Spanish colonies, which consume from
| fifteen to eighteen million dollars worth of
breadstuffs, provisions and similar articles,
even under the present high rate of taxa
ton. Mr.. Foster WAS of the opinion that
trade could be very nearly doubled by
securing a removal of the high duty that
existed at present. Flour as an example,
| is taxed at the rate of S. so per barrel and
other merchandise in the same proportion.
There was a general agreement among
the members of the committee as to the
propriety and necessity of including such q
proposition as Mr.. Blaine had suggested
in the tariff bill, although the venerable
Senator Morrill, of Vermont, Chairman oil
the committee, was very obstinate in his
opposition. He refused not only to favor
such an amendment, but declared his in.

of the committee before the sugar schedule
of the tariff bill is reached. 1t is probable
however, that the committee will think
best to submit the matter first to caucus

Beyond the headmasters desk in the
upper school is smaller room, still called
the library, although no longer stored with
books. Here, in extreme cases, logging
is administered by the headmaster, none
of the assistants being empowered to in
fiict corporal punishment. The victim,
kneeling on wooden step, called the
"block," is "held down" by two junior col
legers, and senior colleger hands to the
headmaster the necessary birch or birches.
A former block was destroyed during
rebellion in 1888 and fragments of it
were distributed as trophies among the
boys concerned. 1t successor was cleyerly
carried away by the late Lord Waterford
and two other old Etonians ine 1886, and
it is now preserved at Curraghmore as a
historical relic. Flogging was for many
generations the normal punishment for
almost all offenses, great or small, for seri-
Gus breaches of discipline and for mistakes

stories-some of them true, more of them
apocryphal-are told of DIR. Keate and the
vigorous manner in which he welded the

Placards Warning Travellers Against
Buying Edibles.
NEW YORK, August CHA Tribune CAL
cutta special says that in more than half
the railroad stations huge placsrds are dis
played, saying to beware Of poisoners. De-
tailed warning is also given TO travellers
against accepting the hospitality OF the
natives or purchasing drinks or eatables of
any kind. These precautions are rendered
necessary by the fact that organized bands
of PRISONERS have infested the railways,
peddling fruits, cakes and drinks 10 passen-
gers Oh etiy at The sta ions.
Their wares are poisoned, and scores of
persons have met death at their hands.
Moreover, the inhabitants OF the villages
themselves have taken up the trade, and
poison those whom they receive as guests.
In these lstter cases the object appears to
be pnnd.r, but III the former il can only
be simply desire to murder, since the
PRISONERS have 10 opportunity TO rob the
bodies of the!r victims. A perfect mania
for such crimes has tor some time prevailed
on nearly all the routes of travel through
out India, and in spite of the police the
horrible trade is still pursued.
