here that not the least effort has been
made by any Indiana Democrat In thia

said that instead of feeling alarm over tho

of the State Department. who assisted in
the reciprocity negotiations with the Bra

there were several errors in the dispatch
from Rio de Jsneir0 concerning the reci-
procity agreement with that country. the
principal one being that this government
had pledged itself not to make n similar
agreement with any European government.
.Senor Mendoncs." he said, has frequently
denied the correctness of that statement
himself. This government 1.-THE United
Statesl never was asked by Brazil to make
such promise. and, of course. never made
il. Moreover, it could not have legally
made such promise, for the reason that
such action would have been in direct con-

tariff act"
copy of General Fosters statement was
subsequently sent In To Secretary Blaine at
his house. and he returned 1t with the sim
pie remark that it was correct.

Mendonca. the Brazilian minister. he said
he had already denied similar statements
emanatlng from ex-Minister Barbosa. There
was nothing in the correspondence be-
tween tho two governments to sustain his
statements that the United States mad
promised not to make a similar agreement
with any European government. SenOr

RfoDE JASEIRo, April 25.-Dr. Ruy Bar
bosa. Minister of Finance of the provisional
government. has published long state
ment IN regard to the reciprocity agree
ment with the United States. He says the
provisional government never authorized
this agreement In the terms in which it
was made. and asserts that DR.. Salvador
De Mendonca, Brazilian minister at Wash
ington. received instructions to make no
treaty that did not expressly bind the
UniGed States government to refrain from
making a similar agreement with any Eu-
ropean monarchy. He quotes q letter from
Dr. Salvador De Mendonca. dated April %.
1890. assuring the government that the
United States would not make o treaty OF
the same kind with Spain.
The Cabinet TO which DR.. kuy Barbosa
belonged resigned on Jan. 20. 1891. and on
Feb. 8 the new Cabinet promulgated the
reciprocity agreement, which did not cOn-
tain the stipulation that had been urged as
essential Dr. Ruy Barbosa maintains
that under these circumstances the agree
ment lacks moral validity. and that the

for revIving tho question.
1t Is said that the present Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, Col. 8. Seresodelli. intends

A Baronne's Romantlo Al1e.

Very romantic was the story of the
Baronne de Charette, the mother of the
well known general who has just died
after few days illness at the Chateau
de la CONTRIB, in the department of the
Loire Inferieure, at the advanced age OF
eighty. She and her elder sister, the
Princess de Lucinge, were the daughters
of the Duo de Berry and Mrs. Brown.
While the duke was expiring after the
stab inflicted on him by his assassin,
Louvel, as he was leaving the opera on
Feb. 13, 1920, he recommended the two
girls to the care of the duchesse and the
king, who took charge of them.
The elder, who afterward married
the Prince de Lucinge, was created
Comtesse d lssoudun, and the younger,
who has just died, received the title OF
Comtesse de Vierzon. The Baron de
Charette. whom she married, played a
prominent part during the rising in the

A FAKE EXPOSED.
The Collector of Advance Freight
Money Still at Work.

Money Still at Work.
Two days ago the HERALD warned the
public about man who calls at resi-
dence houses and presents samples OF
fine ladies' dress goods and towelings,
which he offers at most enticingly low
rates, and requires payment OF $3.50
to cover freight bills.
His game is to receive orders, pocket
the money for pretended freight adj
vances, without any design to send his
dupes the high cost goods they had sam
pied at ridiculously low prices. That
this fellow is still pursuing bis swind-
ling business is evidence of his immense
gall.
He was brought up with round turn
yesterday morning at No. 425 South
Broadway. One of the ladies in
the house had been under the
spell of the rich samples of goods he ex-
hibited and called the lady of the house
to examine them. But the latter had read
the warning in the HERALD, and at once
denounced him as a swindler about
whose game she was fully informed.
The fakir, finding that he was known,
hastily put up his sample packages and
departed. There have been a great
number of ladies taken in by this cheat,
but wide publicity will put stop to his
swindling game.
