stroyed Near New York City.

Treaty of Reciprocity With Brazil An

Treaty of Reciprocity With Brazil An
nOunced.
The negotiations between the United
States and Brazil looking to a treaty. of
reciprocity have been concluded, and
on the 9Th inst. the official announce
ment was made 10 Congress by the
president. Some idea of the far
reaching importance of this re-
ciprocal agreement may be gath
cred from the estimates which have
been made of the increased trade
will result. AT present the United
States pays to Brazil annually about
$65, 900, 600, while it only receives
IS, 900, 900 in return. 1t is expected
that in three years Brazil will pay the
United States in return for our manu-
features and products at least $25 ,000,-
COO, which amount will be distributed
through every section of the country.
Not only does Brazil place great
many American articles on the
free list, but it has been ar
ranged that on other articles in the
manufacture of which Europe completes
with this country the tariff will be low
cred in our favor to an extent which
will make it more profitable for Bra
zilians to import goods from this coun-
try than from Europe. This discrimi-
nation is to be shown, of course, only to
the United States, the Il ri I On Euro
pean articles remaining unchanged. 1t

International Movement for the Adolf

The Senate, in executive session on
the 4th inst, authorized the publica-
ton of message sent to the Senate by
the President last week, relative to the
African slave trade and liquor traffic.
The Presidents message is dated Janu-
arv %, and is q letter of transmittal,
with view to it's ratification, of the
general act signed at Brussels
July last by the plenipotentiaries of
the United States and other powers, for
the repression of the African slave
trade, and the restriction Of the impor-
tation into and sale in certain defined
zone OF Africa Of firearms, ammunition
and spirituous liquors. The President
calls attention to the importance of
early action on the act. The sec
rotary of state, in an accom-
panying letter, says that as The
ratitications must be deposited at
Brussels by July 2 next, it is very de-
sirable that the Senate should take ac
ton during its present session. The
act is signed by the Representatives of
eighteen nations, including the Pres
ident of the United States, nearly all Of
the European sovereigns, and the
Shah of Persia, the Sultan Of Turkey
and the Sultan Of Zanzibar. It's pro-
visions, which are indicated in the
Presidents message, are very stringent,
and contemplate the exclusion of
firearms and spirituous liquors from
Equatorial Africa, as well as the aboli-
ton of the slave trade. AS means of
effecting the latter purpose an interna-
tional bureau is to be established at
Zanzibar, as we'll as strongly occupied
posts in Central Africa, the construction
of roads and railways, and the estab-
lishment of steamboats, on inland wa
