New YORK, May GA special from

In 1889, the exports were $50, 449, 22S,
and in 1892, S31, ga 3O4. In respect to
reciprocity, the Finance Minister says:
"A standing offer to make free or re-
duce the duties on certain named artl-
cles in case of equivalent reduction on
the part Of the United States has been
on the statute book for years and still
remains open for acceptance. In ad-
ditiOn the government has sent at diff

That IL was found impossible TO frame
treaty upon the basis of the mu-
tual free interchange OF the
products Of both countries alone is that
manufactured goods must be included
aud that any agreement for an inter
change of natural aud manufactured
goods must be based upon preferential
treatment in favor of the United States
and upon uniform tariff
for that country and Canada
as against the rest Of the world. As
this involved discrimination against
Great Britain aud practical tariff con-
troll by the United States, the Canadian
Commissioners declined TO accept these
conditions. How far the recent change
Of administration In the United States
will affect Canadian interests remains to

LONDON, May 21.-Discount was rather
easier during the week at 4 for three
months and 80 for short bills. The opinion
is general that the acute stage of the finan-
cial crisis has passed. Small amounts OF
gold are arriving from France and Hol-
land and supplies from the United
States are TO longer snapped up
for Austria. The steady drain
TO Vienna greatly increased the gravity Of
the crisis in Great Britain. Silver, as in
the case OF other valves, reacted early in
the week, owing TO the Australian troubles,
but afterwards became steady. The Stock
Exchange has undergone a tremendous
clearing out, all sorts Of weak &C
counts being eliminated and no fears
are entertained regarding the outcome OF
the next settlement. Nevertheless, many
minor troubles, depending upon the Au-
stralian troubles are expected. American
railway securities have continued TO re-
cover.

the government on the subject
Of his arrest by the police,
and complained Of having been
brutally treated. The Minister Of the In

the facts and the Minister Of Justice asked
for leave to prosecute Baudin, who, as
member of the EChamber cannot be prose
cuted without authority being granted b.
the House. The question Of granting the
leave came up to-day and was debated
with great earnestness and considerable
acrimOny.
When the vote was taken on the ques-
ton, the Chamber authorized the Minister
of Justice TO prosecute NJ. Baudin. The
vote stood $40 in favor Of granting the re-
ouired permission to 1914 against il. In
CONSEQUENCE Of the treatment TO which he
was subjected during the debate, NJ. Baud
~ d'Asson has sent Deputies De Cassaig-
mac and De Bernis to demand satisfaction
from Premier Dupuy.
