AT A STANDSTILL
Are Reciprocity Negotiations
With Germany and France.
Sec. Gage Replies to Federation o
Labor Criticism Of Financial Bill.
Appropriation Bills in Sepate-Rushinq Re-
liei Plans for the Yukon.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The reciproc-
ity negotiations between the Unite
States and Germany are practically
suspended. They never got beyond the
initial stage. Their appears to have
been Willingness on the part of both
governments to look into the subject
but the inquiry did not develop any
prospect of material concessions on
either side. The articles on which a
reciprocity agreement can be made are
produced in France and not in Ger
many.
The utmost extent of reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Germany under the present law would
be a 20 per cent. reduction of duty on
certain agreed German products. Ger
many is chiefly concerned about sugar,
but the 20 per cent. reduction in duty
permitted under the Dingley law, it is
said, would be of insignificant cOnse-
quence.
The negotiations with France are
similarly at standstill. The reci-
procity negotiations with Great Brit
ain as to the British West Indies are
proceeding slowly. but an agreement
is not expected in the near future.

A LITTLE SUFFERER .

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Sc.ofaIous Humors s. How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were<very bad.
It appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually TO keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sar5apariIa. We decided to give
it to our bog and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the hunior had all been driven out Of his
