Cholera Epidemic Subsiding.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. l6.-The chol-
era epidemic appears now to be assum-
ing more benign character through
out the affected region. A telegram
from Nijini-Novgrod. received by the
Novisti, states that the number of pa
tients there is decreasing rather than
growing, while the convalescents are
more numerous. Prof. Anrp, who was
sent to report upon the outbreak, de-
clares that the cholera has generally
appesreg in mild form and is each
day becoming less malignant. The
municipality of st. Petersburg contin-
ues very active in its endeavors to stop
the spread of the epidemic.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

Authorized to Make Treaty.

The Committee at Washington Not
Authorized TO Make a Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Canadian
reciprocity commissioners, accompanied
by Secretaries Blaine and Elkins and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, called at the
White House today and were formally
presented to the president. The visit
was merely for the purpose of paying
their respects. At the close of yester-
days meeting it was decided to hold
the next session on Monday, when the
negotiations will be continued. There
is no means of ascertaining at present
how much longer the conference will
be continued. 1t is understood
that Secretary Blaine elected the
fact that the commissioners from
Canada have not in reality any
power to conclude reciprocal trade ar
rangement at present, and on that
basis he intimated that further pro-
mitigation of the discussion OF the ques-
tion at this time would be useless, as
the ground that may be covered in the
preliminary discussion would have to be
gone over again should Canada ever
send commission empowered to bind
the government to treaty. It is ru-
mored that the adjournment until Mon
day was taken in order that the cables
might be utilized towards obtaining
from the government at London some
official expression giving the present ne
gotiations the color of authority.

Democratic Members Reach
an Agreement.
Raw Wool to Be Admitted Free
of Duty.
A Low Tariff to Be Imposed on
Wo0len Manufactures.
The Reductions Are More Sweeping Thar
in the Mills Bill-The Greatest
Rate of Duty on Any Glass
Is 45 Per Cent.
A soeiated Press Dispatches.

A.soeiated Press DISPATCHES
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. - The Demo
cratic members OF the ways and means
committee held another prolonged con-
ference on the Springer wool bill today.
The result was an agreement on the
rates OF duty to be imposed on manu-
iactures of wool. The Democratic men,
bers have always been agreed on the
proposition that raw wool should be
admitted free of duty, but differed to
some extenta as to the rates which should
be imposed upon manufactures of wool.
The result of the conferences is favora-
BILE to a low tariff, the members of the
committee reducing all the duties below
40 per cent under the present law, as
we'll as those above 40 per cent.
The agreement reached has yet to be
voted on as q whole, the action today
being on each paragraph of wool and
woolen schedules separately.
The greatest rate of duty provided for
is As per cent on ready-made clothing,
dolmans, jackets, ulsters and wearing
apparel, on which, under the present
law, 60 per cent duty is imposed. These
are the articles on which the greatest
amount of labor is expended, and the
only articles left above 40 per cent, which
was the uniform rate proposed by the
Mills bill on wooden manufactures of all
kinds.
The greatest reduction was made from
the 40 per cent duty under the Mills
bill, in cheap blankets, woolen hats and
fannels for underwear, the duty on
which was cut down to 25 per cent.
By paragraphs the bill reads as fol-
lows:
On wooden and worsted yarns, 35 per
cent; rate under the Mckinley law, 35
to 40 per cent.
On wooden or worsted cloths, shawls,
knit fabrics and all fabrics made on
knitting machines or frames, and all
manufactures of every description,
made wholly or in part of wool or
worsted, not specially provided for, 40
per cent; the present rates being 40 and
SO per cent, according to value.
On blankets, hats OF wool and fannels
for underwear, composed wholly or in
part of wool, valued at more than 80
cents per pound, % per cent, against
the present rate under the Mckinley
law, of 80 per cent ad valorem; valued
at more than 80 cents per pound and not
more than 30 cents, 80 per cent ad
valorem, against the present rate OF 30
per cent. valued at more than 30 cents
per pound, 35 per cent, against the
present rate of 40 per cent. ad valorem.

The Utah Commission Accused of Gross
Abuse of Power.

The Utah Commission Accused of Gross
Abuse of Power.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-The senate
committee on territories this morning
gave another hearing to the delegation
from Utah, in favor OF the senate bill to
give Utah the right of self-government.
G. Q. Richards, lawyer, of Ogden, said
under the present system the Utah
commission is not responsible to the
people in any way. Richards accused
the commission of appointing persons of
doubtful respectability as registers and
judges OF elections, which resulted in
the preparation of the boldest frauds.
Continuing, Richards said: 1.-THE
condition OF affairs is such as might
have been expected from the hands of
strangers. The commission from the
time it came into Utah until now, never
lost an opportunity to deprive the peo-
pie OF their sacred rights, and when
protest was made, they rushed before
the people OF the country with some
hideous snigbtmare to arouse public
prejudice against the people of the ter
ritory."
At this point Senator Davis said "Do
you mean by that, that Senators Ram
sey and Paddock have been engaged in
that sort OF work."
''We do. most decidedly" said Rich
ards.
Speaking upon the judicial system, he
said the people looked upon the courts
as enemies, rather than as friendly ar
bitrators. He denied that polygamy ex-
listed in the territory. and thought the
people were as law-abiding as any in the
country. They were entitled to local
self-government like the other states and
territories, and all they asked was
trial. If they were found incompetent,
then congress could again take the mat
ter in hand.
F. G. Richards of Salt Lake City also
addressed the committee in favor of the
bill.

unable to muster enough force to order
the yeas and nays.
Peel of Arkansas, from the commit
tee on Indian affairs, reported the In
dian appropriation bill, aud it was re-
ferred to the committee of the whole.
On motion of Outhwaite of Ohio q
bill was passed authorizing the board of
managers of the National Soldiers home
to appoint their officers from soldiers
who served in the late war, without
regard to rank.
On motion of Caminetti joint reso-
luton was passed requesting the secre-
tary OF war to report what amount of
money can be proftably expended in
carrying out the recommendations of
the commission to investigate the min
ing debris question in California.
The house then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the house calendar, the
first bill being that amending the inter-
nal revenue law by abolishing the mini
mum sentence for violation thereof.
Passed without division, and the house
adjourned.
