Arranging for the PROCLAMATION Of the
New Agreement.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Gen. John w.
Foster, who conducted the negotiations be-
tween this country and Spain for reciprocal
relations, is in almost daily consultation
with the President and officials of the state
department in regard to the publication of
the proclamation that is to announce the
terms upon which the Spanish-American
agreement is based. He declined this morn
ing to indicate whether or not this document
will be forthcoming very soon, but it is
generally thought that in the absence OF
Secretary Blaine, which Is expected to last
through the summer, the President will
proceed in the matter and that the procla-
nation will be Issued by July ].
Secretary Foster is now trying to negotiate
an agreement for reciprocal trade with au.
other country. the name of which is kept
secret. There is no truth whatever In the
report that has gone abroad that Gen. Fos-
ter is acting as Secretary Of State Gd
interim, for his business with the govern
ment begins and ends with reciprocity.

democrats with cheating with tissue bal
lots. The republicans were ahead on the

The pile contained 10S straight democratic
ballots printed on tissue paper They were
rolled together in piles containing about ten
each and looked as IL they had
been deposited together. The town clerk
and town solicitor insisted upon having
the los ballots counted. The moderator COM
piled with the request, which materially
changed the complexion of the election.
The modei dtor sealed the ballots up aud re-
quested the town clerk to take them. The
town clerk refused to do this, saying that
the republicans had charged the demo-
Gratis with cheating last year
while the ballots were in his custody
The moderator took the ballots home with
him, and this evening each party appeared
before the council, when long and tedious
