70 me By Mr.. Adee, second assistant secre-
tary OF state, reviewing the communication
OF Ar. Herbert and a letter of the 26th June,
from John W. Foster, who, as have previ-
the government in the conference with the
canadian commissioner The position taken
BY this government, as explained in my pre-
vious communication to the senate, that the
canal tolls and regulations, Of which com
plant has been made. are IN violation of our
treaty with Great Britain, Is not shaken, but
rather confirmed. There can be no doubt
liens and our commerce exists, and quite as
little doubt that this discrimination is not an
incident, but the intent of Canadian regula-
tons It has not seemed to me that this was
case in which We could yield to the sugges-
tons of further CONCESSIONS on the part of
the United States with a view to securing
treaty rights for which consideration has
already been given. BEsJAAfIS HARRISON.

Obnoxious Taxes.

BERLIN, July 5.-The new taxes imposed
by the government on various branches OF
business are meeting with strong opposition.
Bourse operators refuse to transact business
owing to the tax on bOurse transactions, and
a popular demonstration was made against
the new tax law placed upon retail dealers.
Men and women doing business in the mar
ket formed procession and marched through
the streets, showing their disapprobation of
the new tax. When the shop keepers heard
the market people coming they closed their
doors, fearing the procession would pillage
their shops. Those taking part in the DEM
onstraton assaulted the police who were
trying TO keep -aem in order. Finally the
civil guard charged upon the mob, who threw
stones, sticks and anything that came handy.
Many OF the guards were severely hurt. The
ofncer IN command eventually gave orders to
hre into the mob and a yOlley was fired into
the rioters. This ended the fighting. Many
of the crowd fell with the blood pouring from
their wounds, while those slightly injured
sought safety In flight Many of the wound
cd will probably die.

BOYCOTT Commenced.

CHICAGO, Ill, July "a committee
from the Amalgamated Steel and Iron asso-
citation, the locked out workmen of the Car
negie mills at Homestead, has reached this
city to confer with the building trades as to
whether they will handle the output of the
mills. They ask that all steel and iron now
in Chicago be handled, but that if non-union
men were put to work none of their product
be handled by union labor.
No action was taken, but the committee
was assured that the matter would be thor
oughly investigated and that Chicago's union
men would not handle nou-union made
steel and iron. The other building trades of
the city are of the same opinion and the out
look is that in a few days the various trades
will cease handling steel and iron from the
Carnegie mills. The committee said similar
committees had been sent simultaneously to
other large cities of the land.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 7.-Some alarm
ing reports have reached tho secretary of the
interior about 10000 head of cattle being
stationed in the Cherokee strip. The letters
came from citizens of Oklahoma, who claim
to know what they are writing about
Some of them say that John Guthrey. now
OF Oklahoma, but at one time a member of
the Kansas legislature from Sumner county,
has charge of the cattle and IN this position
Is serving some Texas syndicates- In this
state of affairs they see formidable Opposi-
ton to the bill to ratify the Cherokee treaty
and throw that country open to settlement.
They claim the cattle were brought UP there
from Texas, and put on there instead of at
Ponca agency, and as represented all the
cattle were to be held on the POnca reserva-
ton. Very soon the cattle were started
grazing over the strip. Some of the letters
indicate that the writers are impatient.
Secretary Noble says he viii look to tho
war department to remove ali cattle from the
strip, and the information received by him
VIII be sent to that department. He thought
It quite probable that the strip would be Wis
tied by the soldiers and relieved of all cattle
provided any were found.

The five car loads of Pinderton detectives
who were taken to Pittsburg during the night
were sent to New York on a separate train on
the Pennsylvania railway. The men inside

exceed their impotence to get away. David
