THREE REPUBLICS HAPPY.
Will BE Benefited by of
the Reciprocity Treaties.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The repre-
sentatives of three republics-Venezuela,
Colombia and H~ayti-take considerable sat
isfaction out of the fact that, while the
new tariff law in this country abrogates
the reciprocity treaties between this coun-
try and Brazil. Nicaragua, Salvador, Guat-
emala and other countries. ii has the re-
verse effect as to them. as 1T does away
with the retaliatory policy which Presi-
dent Harrison announced by proclamation
against Colombia, Venezuela and Hayti.
This proclamation was issued march Is.
1892. because the three countries had not
up to that time entered into reciprocity
arrangements. 1t suspended the free list
on sugar. coffee, hides and molasses, and
established a duty OF 3 cents per pound on
coffee. X to 2 cents per pound on sugar.
4 cents per gallon on moiasses, and II.
cents per pound on hides. These rates have
since applied 10 only these three SOuthern
republics, while their neighboring republics
enjoyed free entrance to this country on
these goods. IL had the effect of cutting
tries 10 the United States, but IL did not
result in forcing them to yield to a reci-
procity agreement; The Haytien sales 10

~DEMANDTHEIR RIGHTS
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY Ex-EM-
PLoYEs OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Did Soldiers Who Have Lost Their
square" with Their Enemies.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2s.-The Soldiers
and Sailors and Sons Of Veterans Protec-
tive Association. made up of ex-employes
of the government, tonight unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved. That the designation of the
records OF the late war as a pension di-
vision, TO cover the detail of a medical
officer of the army 10 duties outside of the
sphere for which he was commissioned. is
an insult to be remembered by the ex-
Union soldiers and sailors.
NIhat u Is the sense OF this association
that the cuckoos from the various depart
ments or the government who deliberately
10 save their own heads, misrepresented
the sentiments of the ex-Unio soldiers
anu sailors at the National Encampment,
should sever their connection with the
Grand Army of the Republic during the
period they may be in government employ.
That We will use our influence with
each and every candidate for Congress from
our respective districts TO force the Waugh
Dill for the repeal of the act which made
the adventurer from Vermont the colonel
U this army, and placed him in charge OF
yhe records OF the late war, of which he
Knew absolutely nothing, as he only entered
the service in a subordinate capacity from
civil life as late as 1874.
That we call individually and collective
~ upon each and every fair-minded COM
rade throughout the United States to as
sist in our just and righteous effort to get
square with those who have dared, at this
late date. 10 tamper with the rights OF the
soldiers and sailors of the late war"

ceived no confirmation. The Japanese were
said to be contemplating an immediate ue-
scent on Formosa as a diversion, out TINS
was not considered likely 10 be temp
for some time, Formosa having been placed
under neutrality regulations.
The writer further says that none OF
the new levies has as yet beer forwarded
from Canton. A large number OF ofncers
of both the navy and army are resigning
rather than go into active service. No new
supplies of coal are coming into the open
market, except from Tonquin. AS the
shipping trade is so s~tagnant. however. the
existing stocks will last a couple of months
at least.
Besides laying mines at the entrance to
Foo Chow and Tamsui harbors the Chinese
government has caused the eXtingulsnlng
of the lights in most every lighthouse along
the coast. Pilots have received special
warning not to assist any japanese vessel.
Privately. the writer learns, the Canton
arsenal authorities are in a difficulty which
may effect the whole war. China was to
pursue a Fabian policy and rely upon her
enormous wealth ultimately to crush Japan.
Both countries were surprised 10 nnd tnat
the neutrality laws prevented their buying
war ships in Europe. Orders were given
TO the various Chinese ars,enals to build
ships and make guns. The Foo CHOW arse
nal. the largest and only one in China that
ever built ships on a serious scale. may be
in a state of readiness, although IL VIII
not be able TO build large vessels without a
great deal of European help. But the
Whampoa arsenal at canton was FOUND 10
be in a lamentable state of unfitnsss, and
heavy punishment is sure to fall upon the
officials responsible for this condition OF af-
fairs. In the meantime, the japanese arse
nails are reported to be working upon an
Unprecedented scale.
The question of what articles may be
declared contraband is seriously disturbing
the Eastern trade. Great Britain refuses
to recognize rice as contraband. China can
do practically nothing at present with
Japan'S coal trade.

RESULT OF COMPETITION.
Rates tn Japan on Cauned Goods Cut
tn 81 "a Ton.

w gE u
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28.-The war be-
tween China and Japan has resulted in a.
spirited competition between the Canadian
line of steamers and the Pacific Mail. With
the commencement of hostilities in the
Orient the big packing companies through
out the country began shipping canned
goods TO Yokohama in large quantities, as
canned goods are an important item in the
list of army supplies. and always find a
ready market. The Canadian line Of steam
ers reduced the rate on canned goods at
the outset. and has recently been handling
heavy shipments from the packing houses
in Oakland and Chicago. To divert this traf-
fc to San Francisco the Pacific Mail has
announced a cut in tnej tariff on canned
goods from $2 to s. per ton. The new rate
has already gone into effect. II is expected
the next steamer TO sail Will be the Rio
de Janeiro. and she wil9carry one of the
largest ShipmentS of canned goods ever
taken to Japan on a Pacific Mail steamer.
The effect Of the cut will be felt in San
Francisco for some time Local dealers are
for shipment to Yokohama. and it is be-
lieved that canned goods viii form a prin-
cipal part of each outbound steamers car
go for the next several months. Local deal
ers who have been expecting to reap a rich
harvest out of the war are being benefited
by the cut rate, but they AYE a grievance.
They say the steamship company is making
a rate for the packers in Omaha and Chi
cage which permits Them to get their goods
to Japan as cheaplya as the San Francisco
men can. This. however, is denied by the
officers of the Pacific Mail.

to order by the bishop. and the ro, call of
the several districts. which had been inter-
rupted by adjournment yesterday. was
taken up. The boundary question took up
SO much of the time that much OF the bust

examination of candidates for advancement
and for orders took up much time. The roll
of supernumeraries was called. and found
TO contain seven names. and all were or

said:

depends altogether on YOUR fitness or I'M
fitness for the work. Disease or sickness
may prevent success. bur they are beyond

about the dead line between success and

School Board Funds Returned to Fren.
zel-A Scheme.

Several weeks ago, at a meeting of the
school Board. Treasurer Adam was load
ed for the people who were attempting to
find out something about the School Board
funds. He was prepared for Mr.. Black
lodges question. He said the School Board
funds were in F.etcher's Bank. The people
could easily be thrown off their guard by
this statement. All would have gone wei
for a time. perhaps, if the question had not
been asked Mr.. Adam again at the next
meeting of the board. He evaded the ques-
ton then.
The money, it appears. was evidently
transferred 10 Fletcher's Bank for a short
time. for il now has found its way back
into Frenze.'s bank. Boss FrenZel returned
home yesterday from the East, but he has
not yet determined when he will close the
Ricketts, property deal, as his understudy,
Mr.. Martindale, is in California.

not yet been able to decide about taking
the risk of the long journey
The dispatch adds: $50 far as we know
here. where nothing is published about the
Czdr's health. his Majesty did not leave
Spala yesterday. When he was i'll with
influenza in st. Petersburg bulletins were
daily posted giving all the particulars.
Strange to say, now that his Majesty's i'll
ness in Poland is the subject of grave anx-
iety to all classes not a word has yet APP
peared in print, official or otherwise, re-
garding his condition"
A dispatch to the Times from Vienna
says it is considered there that the Cars
kidney disease is the result of moral and
mental anxiety and worry. Commenting
upon the probability of the Czarewitch as
cending the throne. it is added that tradi-
tional etiquette requires the heir to the
Russian throne to keep aloof from politics.
Thus every Russian Emperor at the be-
ginning of his reign Is obliged to be large

professions of p%enitence and expressed a

to wear the Franciscan habit in future.
Latterly the authorities have had reasons
to suspect the sincerity of his conversion.
and the matter being brought to the atten-

day directing that the Anarchist be again
confined strictly to the prison rules, which
had been relaxed in his favor. Franch be-
