FOR FOREIGN TRADE.
PRESIDENT HARRisoN's REcIP-
 ROCiTY PROCLAMATION.
It May Not Be Issued Untii Alter Jan. Sugar Producing Countries Which
 Are to Be Exempt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.--The Presi- dents retaliatory reciprocity proclama- tion is drafted but it will not neces- sarily be issued Jan. l. The sugar producing countries which would be exempt from its provisions on that date are Germany, Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico and most of British West Indies. as we'll as the Sandwich islands But other countries have been hurrying up their negotiations. and it is said by the m dale of February nearly all of Central and South America will have concluded arrangements which will give them a continual free market for their sugar, coffee and molasses in the United States. Nicaragua, which was a little late in beginning negotiations, is now making the greatest hurry.
 The preliminary agreement with Mexico is said to be also we'll under way. The Mexican concessions will be lowering the rate on live stock and other agricultural products which were raised by the new tariff that went into effect Nov. l.
 The Argentine Republic has made less progress, partly owing to the dis turbed condition of affairs in that country. What Argentina really wants is a general treaty which would give it some concessions on it's wool and enable it to compete in the markets of the United States with the Australian pro- duet.
 The new commercial treaty with France will be pushed now that Minis ter Patenotre has arrived. It will be general treaty, and will lower the duties on American cereals and wheat products Tn exchange for concessions on French wines and silks which are exported so largely to the United States.
 It is possible that the President will send a special message to the Senate in regard to the Brussels treaty. which has for its object the breaking up of the African slave trade. There is strong pressure from religious bodies all over the country to secure the rati- fication of the treaty, and public senti- ment seems to be decidedly in favor of it. The time, however. is short, and unless the Senate acts promptly the treaty will fail.

 Mississippi.

Mississippi.
 SAUBuTA, Miss, Dec. 30.--News con tinues 10 come slowly from the seat of war in Chotaw. John Sims, brother of Bob, who has not heretofore partici- pated in Bobs vagaries and lawless- ness, was arrested late Saturday even ing because of letters found in Bob's house and in the pocket of one of the Savage boys which implicated him. It is believed that he was lynched before his custodians reached the jail with him. Jim Moseley, Sims follower, was also arrested, and was in great danger of being lynched. He was tried Dy the vigilantes, and it seems that nothing could be proved against him, and that he succeeded in convincing them he had quit the Sims gang before any of the atrocities were committed. He told them that Jim Sims. who was killed at Bladon Springs while rescuing Bob from the United States marshal, was the man who killed Preacher Carroll some time be- fore the Bladon tragedy. Jim Sims came to Moseley and brought him to assist in the assassination of Carroll, but, Moseley intending to quit the Sims gang, succeeded in pleading the sick ness of his wife. Carroll was killed that night and Moseiey dared not to expose the slayer. After renouncing the Sims creed and promising solemnly to reform and become good citizen Moseley was released. No negro was caught
 Neal Sims has never been heard from. Sims wife and daughter were under arrest day and night, but were re- leased. Mrs. Sims promises to reform and live as other citizens do. She says she never approved of Sims course, but dared not oppose or leave him for fear of her life. The citizens are still or ganized and delight in their search after other suspects.

Not the Right Men.

Yesterday morning about five o'clock,
Officer Carney found two strangers
down near the Il. & o. depot, one OF
whom he thought answered the descrip-
tion of the man who assaulted Mrs. /.
b. Moore, at Echo Point, and they were
locked up at headquarters. They gave
the names Of c. c. Stephens and Charlie
Howard. During the morning Mrs.
Moore was sent for and she arrived about
noon and looked at Howard, the other
man having previously been released.
She thought Howard was not the right
man, after seeing him with the over
coat on and of. A gentleman, who saw
the man who assaulted Mrs. Moore, was
positive, however, that he was
the man, and he was held
until evening, when 1t became clear he
was innocent, and was released.
Stephens, Howard's companion, re-
fused to leave Howard when released,
even declining an offer OF Chief Nc
Nichols to so and get his dinner. His
determination to stick to his friend
was worthy OF Damon or Pythias, and
attracted much attention at the City
Hall. Howard claims to be from Cali
fornia, Pa, to be a steam-ftter, and
gave quite an extended account of him
self.

night, and there was good attend
ance. There are probably few callings

throughout the city who responded.
The floor was completely filed with
dancers and the festivities kept up until
an early hour this morning.
The best Of attention prevailed, and
the affair was we'll conducted. The
various committees in charge were old

CONDUCTORS GLIDE.
First Annual Ball Given by wheeling Di.
vision No ESQ.


Railroad conductors don't often get
chance to dance, but when they do,
they glide fright in line" and there are
no more graceful gyrators on the planet.
Last evening Wheeling Division No.
2s9 Railroad Conductors gave their first
annual ball at Turner Hall. 1t was
success in every particular, and every
one present enjoyed themselves during
many hours of the giddy whirl.
Railroad conductors while usually
gentlemanly and courteous on duty are
still more genial and whole-souled when
in pursuit of pleasures, and so it proved
last night. Few balls this season have
been more largely attended, and all the
wants Of the participants were looked
after with care and attention. While
many OF the conductors present were
residents of Wheeling, there were also
many from Bellaire, Martins Ferry,
Bridgeport and from places as far dis
tant as Pittsburg and Lorain. The
dancers gathered on the scene some
what earlier than usual, and before nine
o'clock the ball was in fall swing. The
affair was under excellent management
and nothing occurred to mar the pleas
ures OF the evening.
At midnight all adjourned to Hotel
Behler where an inviting lunch was dis
cussed. Quite variety of dishes were
discussed, and all left the table we'll sat
isfied with the menu.
The ballet master at the ball was |.
r. Fowler who well performed his
duties. His assistant was George Cor
den. The floor managers were Thos.
Snodgrass, r. r. Burls, II. o. Hallett,
e. McConnaughy and E. r. Ebersold.
The committee on invitation consisted
of Fl. o. Hallett, C. T. Huntsman, E. z.
Ebersold, William Anthony, L. j. An
thony, II. D. McDonal.
The general committee OF arrange
meuts were L. MConnaughy, George
Gordon, II. B. Eberline, j. w. Smith,
William Hoffner, 1. r. Fowler, j. w.
Griffin, Thomas Snodrass.
Music was furnished by Meisters' or
chestra, and they we'll sustained their
reputation. The badges worn by the
committees were unique and handsome.
