RETALIATION AND RECIPROCITY.


WASHINGTON, June l6.--In anticipa-
ton OF the passage of the pending tariff
bill by congress, the legislative council
or Jamaica has taken up bill on its own
account and. according TO the views of
United States Commercial Agent Walton
at Port Antonio. duties on articles i'm
ported from the United States are to be
largely increased with the expectation
that later a reciprocity treaty may be
negotiated.
The duties remitted under the old reci-
procity treaty of 1850 were not restored
after that treaty was destroyed through
the United States tariff act of 1894, and
1t is now believed that the duties will be
restored TO at least what they were be-
fore that treaty went into effect.
