| 1t Is understood that the reciprocity
proclamation will be issued by the Presi
dent within ten DAYS, no really serious
negotiations having been initiated by the
foreign countries concerned The pro-
camation will suspend the free admis-
sion Of sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and
hides, In }hn case of such countries pro
duciug these articles as, after the date OF
proclamation, maintain tariff duties upon
| American agricultural and her products,
which may be deemed unequal and un
reasonable. Notices were duly served on
Austro Hungary, Columbia, Hayti, Nicara-
qua, Honduras, Spain for the Phillip
pine Islands and Venezuela.
| The committee on Rules of which
Speaker Crisp Is Chairman decided that
the silver question should be considered
even before the journal Of the House was
read. This was unprecedented but was
rushed through by a party vote after a
long debate in which Messrs. Dingley Bou
telle and Reed took part
The Senate on Tuesday had under con
sideration the arbitra ion treaty subm tied
by the President. Discussion thereon
was animated, much opposition was devel-
oped.
The Cabinet meeting Tuesday was de
voted to the Behring Sea question. Secre-
t,ries, Blaine, Foster and Noble were not
present. The opinion was unanimous that
the post on assumed by the British gov
eminent was untenable and not justih d
BY the condition Of the sealing industry.
The argument was made that the opening
of Behring Sea for the present season to
the slaughter of seals by poachers would re-
suit in serious injury, if not in the total de-
struction of the industry. 1t was decided to
insist on "Modus Vivindi" similar to that
of last year for the protection of the fish
cries pending the settlement of the ques
ton at issue.
Ex-Speaker Reed was rendered recep-
ton Tuesday, congratulatory upon the
declaration of the court sustaining his rul-
ing on the quorum question.
The President has signed the censrs
deficiency bill.
Mr.. Blaine is sick with the grippe, but
is improving.
