TRENTON. April "a, 1s95.-In connec-
ton with the seni-centennial celebration
of the New Jersey Historical Society
to be held in Newark on May 18, it has
been hoped that e1-President Harrison

through the generosity of Nathaniel Niles

its friends had placed at their disposal
special steamer to participate in the
naval parade on April 80. 1889.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Niles, and
through the generosity of himself and a
few other gentlemen, splendad medal
was designed and struck. one side bear

at that time. to return to Indianapolis,
but expressed lively sense of pleasure
at the society's beautiful thought tan and
his desire to attend an early meeting.

with him from time to time SINCE. and
yesterday received a letter from his pri-
vate secretary as follows;-

some pressing engagements. AS soon as
it is possible I will write you definitely

THE EVILS OF PROTECTION.
Belgium and France Embroiled Over
Taxes ON Flour and fsreaG.

WASHINGTON, April "a, 1S95-The De-
partment of State is in receipt of a re-
port from Consul George w. Roosevelt,
at Brussels, giving information obtained
from the Association of Belgian Millers
relative TO the proposed duty ON foreign
flour coming into Belgium
The report says that owing to the per-
sistence of the Belgian millers to Sc
cure legislation against the Introduction
of French flour under bounty into Bel
giuln, it is generally supposed that the
millers are protectionists. This is in
exact, as they are generally fervent ad-
yocates of free trade and opposed to any
duty whatever on foreign wheat. The
proposed measure, so far as can be
learned, is directed solely against France,
the temporary admission OF wheat in
bond to be milled for re-exportation, and
gives a bounty to the miileTs on every
drawback on the wheat milled for ex-
portation. Since the date of the new
tariff in France, first quality -four COM
duty of $1.73 instead of Sl.16, and bread is
now taxed 9612 gents instead of 23 cents

hibitive. and consequently are demand
ing retaliatory measures from their Coy

the kingdom.
II am informed" says. Mr.. Roosevelt
.@that the Association of Belgian Millers
is opposed to any legislation that would
interfere with the importation OF wheat
from the United States. 1t is the opin-
ion here, however, that the Belgian House
of Representatives will pass a bill in May
or June next. imposing duty Of 20 cents
coming into Belgium from all countries"
