The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-08-25

Washington, Aug. PA secret has
leaked out from diplomatic circles to
the effect that our government has be-
come sadly entangled with one of the
Central American republics as result
of the reciprocity treaties and will have
a bill to pay, besides which the Boring
sea claims will appear trivial in amount.
The country in question is the United
States of Columbia, one of the Central
American republics which steadily re-
fused all efforts of the state depart
ment to induce it to become a party
to one of these reciprocity treaties.
Moreover, when her sister republics and
Spain (as to Cuba and Porto Rico) be-
gan to ship their products duty free to
the United States under the terms of
their new treaties, Colombia claimed
the same exemption for her staples
hides, coffee, sugars and molasses.
The state department rejected this
claim, as it was obliged to do, else the
whole fabric of treaties would have
fallen, the United States being able to
offer no inducements
Colombia persisted in her claim and
pointed to the treaty of 1916, which
declares that the Colombians shall not
be assessed any duty upon their pro-
ducts imported into the United States
higher than on like articles imported
from any other foreign country. That
meant, they contend, if the staples
above mentioned entered the United
States free from Brazil and Cuba. they
should enter free from Colombia, also,
regardless of reciprocity treaties. They
have never abated this contention;
many letters have been exchanged on
the subject and at last the United
States has been obliged to admit the
strength and correctness of the Colon
bian position.
This being done, it follows that the
government must refund to importers
the amounts they have paid in duties
on Colombian products which should
have been free, or admitted at lower
rates.
Just what the total will amount to,
no one can tell at present, but steps are
being taken to ascertain the amount
from statistics.
The United States very recently in
duced Spain to order refund of So
coo, 900 collected enormously in exports
to Cuba.

interest on all prior liens and, there
fore, there is no necessity for the
holders of this bond to make any
sacrifice to protect their interests; the
securities junior to the third mortgage
and the value of the equity in the pro-
perty are so great that the holders OF
the securities must protect the third
mortgage bonds rather than see the
property sold under foreclosure"
The circular states that the New
York Guaranty and Indemnity company
will act as depository for the third
mortgage bonds, and that copies of the
agreement under which they are to be
deposited are to be had from the COM
mittee or depository. This agreement
provides that the committee shall not
accept less than par and interest for
the bonds.

A CLEAN BACK DOWN.
Northern Pacific Quits Because 1t
Lost Money.

Chicago. Aug. 24.-The Northern Pa
cific has backed down from the POSI-
ton it has maintained since the begin
ming of the year against Canadian Pa
cific differentials from trunk line terri
tory to Pacific coast points. The Cam
adam Pacific was allowed originally
81 differentiai ON tirst-ciass and s. on
second class, the understanding being
that the differentials were to apply
only on business sent from Victoria
down by water. The 500 line imme-
diately claimed, on the strength Of the
allowance made the Canadian Pacific, a
differential of $3.50 from both the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern. They Immediately cut their st.
Paul rates $3.50 to correspond with the
tariff issued by the 500 line, and the
argument has been hot ever since,
rates being kept in a state Of constant
decentralization. The Northern Pacific
has now abandoned it's position, not
because it believes it's position unjust,
but because it loses more money in
keeping its own salaries down than it
will lose by allowing the differentials
to remain in effect
