secretary respectively of the South

ton, left for Washington this morning
for the purpose Of consulting with
Secretary of State Gresham and Secre-

will ask those officials to use their in
fluence with the governments Of

the import duties imposed by them
abolished so far as the United States is
concerned. II is generally understood
that new commercial treaties, based
upon the new tariff, will be entered
into between the United States and
France, Germany and Mexico. While
the members of the Southwestern as
sociation do not expect to derive much
benefit in the near future from having
flour admitted free into France and
Germany, they want the import duties
imposed by those countries upon flour
removed in order that they may build
