RECIPROCITY NEGOTIATIONS.
Closer Trade Relations With the Spanish

terworth Retires from Congress.
Special 10 the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Hon. John
W. Foster of Indiana, now a resident OF
Washington, is one of the most distin-
guished diplomats in the United States.
He was formerly our minister to Mexico
and TO Spain. He is entirely familiar
with Mexican and South American af-
fairs. He has been connected largely
with all the negotia tions for the last if
teen years between his country and Mex
leo, Central and South America. When
he returned from his post as minister to
Mexico under Arthur he settled in Wash
ington, and since then he has been the
adviser of the state department in all
matters relating to the Spanish speaking
countries. He has lately been requested
to take charge of certain negotiations
looking TO reciprocity with the Spanish
American republics, and his intimate
knowledge of the condition of affairs in
the countries composing the Southern
half of that continent, makes 1t certain
that whatever is done towards perfecting
our trade relations with those nations
Will rebound to the benefit of all the re-
publics interested.
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth has been
selected as secretary of the World s fair
commission. e., secretary of the local
board, as the secretary of the National
board is Mr.. John Dickinson of Texas,
than whom no better selection could have
been made. Mr.. BuLterworth is one of
the 8blest members on the floor of con-
gress to-day. Reed does not love him 3,
but the genial, jovial statesman from
Ohio is one of the best-liked men in
Washington. The members of the house
will be sorry to lose him, for he has de-
oided not to run for congress this fall.
He has been IN congress for ten years
One of Butterworth' hobbies has been
the securing of q commercial union for
Canada. Since the question of trade
with Spanish America has come up, Mr..
Butterworth has been one of the most
effective and eloquent advocates of q
policy of reciprocity with those nations,
and his refusal to return to congress will
be direct loss to the advocates of closer
trade relations with Mexico, Central and
South America.
The following were among the ex-
ported goods sent to Mexico from New
York during the last two weeks: Manu-

the end of the parachute.
d'The balloouist did not know the dRr-
key was being carried up at first, and he
proceeded to execute numerous fests on
the trapeZe.
1.-THE negroes face when he was picked
up from the earth was sight to see.
Fear, desperation, despair, were de-
picted there. At first he tried to eXtri-
cate himself from the rope, but before
he had made any headway he was 500
feet above the earth. He seemed at first
to be too paralyzed to speak, but when
he found 1t would be suicidal to free him.
self from the rope ne let loose yell that
could be heard by the assembled crowd
below, which stood with lips apart ami
breath suspended, horror depicted on
every face. Leroy heard the yell and
looked up. At first he seemed dumb
stricken at the sight of the squirHing
darkey suspended between heaven and
earth, probably as near heaven as be
will ever get. But at last Leroy was
seen to motion to him, and he began to
climb hand over hand up the rope.
"By this time the airship had hoated
far from IFS starting point, and its hu-
man freight had become so indIstinct
that further proceedings were barely
peroeptible. But yet the crowd gazed
on with barely a sound interrupting the
awful stiffness.
80 HE has fallen! The negro has let
go!'
mo, it was only LEROY, who had cut
loose his parachute, and presently,
when the umbrella-shaped thing opened
nm all attention was directed to the bal
loon, which now appeared Is speck in
the blue beyond.
1.-THE sky was lowering, and suddenly
the big gas bag, became surrounded by
clouds and so faded out of sight.
The drummer pulled out cigar and
offered it to the scribe.
"Oh, the deuce! What became of
the negro?"
"Bill Scott, do you mean? Oh, he
came out oil right, and is now the proud
est and happiest darkey in Mississippi.
You see, the balloon was ballasted on
one side, so that when relieved of the
balancing weight of the @ronaut it
would turn over, throw the mouth of the
bag upward and allow the gas
to escape, and then it would re-
turn to tina ground. But the darkey
was on the other side from the ballast
ana nicely balanced the gas bag so that
it returned to earth slowly and gradually
as the gas escaped by degrees from the
bottom. The negro alighted several
miles from where he started, and it WAS
not until the next day at noon that he
got back to Greenville, carrying the bal
loon with him on his head as a trophy
brought from the realms OF space. ~

A Speculative Egyptian.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 2.-Alex-
ander Tagliaferro of Alexandra,
Egypt, writes to the directors OF
the Worlds Fair that he is IN a
position to furnish them an inter-
esting exhibit. He has sent the
officials photograph of sar-
cophagus which he believes and
claims is that OF Cleopatra. Itwas
recently discovered in Cesar's
Caunp, near Alexandria, by arch
biologists. After paying the Egypt
ian government its dues, the wri-
ter says he sold it to a friend for
speculation. When the sarcopha-
gus was opened the contents fell IN
ashes, with the exception of the
skeleton, which is still preserved.
Mr.. Tagllaferro says he is prompt
ed to negotiate with the Exposi-
ton authorities from notices which
he has seen in newspapers from the
United States announcing that the
Khedive of Egypt has been asked
by the directors of the Exposition
for the mummy of Rameses. His
price is $50, 900 f. o. b. at Alexan-

COMING FOR KING.
Officers From Denver En- Route
With Requisition Papers.

DENVER, Colo, June 2.-Attor-
ney Easley. of the Denver Bank,
and Sheriff Boston, of this city,
left yesterday for St. Louis with q
rean,si,i", for Mans field King, the
robber of Cash Moffau who is in
Jail at Clayton. Mr.. Moffatt tele.
graphed here that he had identi-
fled King as the man who forced
him To- pay over s21 900 of the
banks money at the point OF a
pistol.
Mr., Moffatt visited St. Louis
last week, and on Saturday went
out to Clayton, where he saw King
in the Jail. He at once recognized
HIM as the robber and King in turn
recognized Mr.. Moffatt as the man
he had robbed, so it seems to be no
longer a matter of doubt that King
is the man, and that his confession
was true and not the imagining OF
a disordered brain, since both Mr..
Moffatt and Mr.. Otis recognize him.
King pretended to tell where the
money was, but Sheriff Dozenbach
1 visited the place described and
searched vigorously, but in vain,
for the missing money. 1t is now
understood that King is playing
the money against his prosecu-
tion, and that he means to offer to
surrender the money if the bank
will consent to let him off with a
light sentence.
Tuesdays Globe Democrat says :
Notwithstanding all that has been
said and done in regard to the ia.
nous criminal, Mansfield King, he
treats everything connected with
his case with such astonishing
GOODNESS and indifference that the
belief in his supposed insanity
gains ground among those who
have been brought in direct con
tact with him. When Informed
yesterday that a requisition had
been granted for his removal he
received the news with an unmov'
ed countenance and a show of in

1t is understood the Prosecuting

two indictments now standing

ing in this State in not less thar
