The President Appoints Hon. John A. Kas-
son. Of Iowa to Perfect Reciprocity Agree
ments With Foreign Countries Under tho
New Tariff Act

meDfs With Foreign Countries Under the
New Tariff Act
Washington, October 1.-THE presi-
lei has decided to appoint a special
commissioner with plenary powers to
carry into effect the reciprocity pro-
visions of sections 3 an 4 of the tariff
act approved July "a, 1897. 1t was
found upon making an investigation of
the matter that the regular force of
the department Of state is at present
So Overcrowded with pressing busi-
ness that serious delay in carrying out
the expressed wish of congress would
inevitably follow, if in addition to the
usual routine work of the department,
its officers were required to perform
the special examinations and negoti-
atoms essential to carry forward the
will of congress as expressed in the
sections above referred to. Moreover,
the pressure for early and consistent
action in the arrangement of measures
Of reciprocity has been very great,
from foreign countries as well as from
our own citizens.
The interest of the president in reci-
prOcity is especially keen, and during
his connection with the tariff legisla-
ton of 1890, while chairman of the
committee on ways and near of the
house Of representatives, the inclusion
of that law of reciprocity provision was
inclusive Of his determination to foster
and promote American industry and
commerce by this means.
In view Of these facts the president
has designated the Hon. John A. Kas-
son, of Iowa, as such special commits
siOner, with Mr.. Chapman Coleman, of
Kentucky, as secretary, and Mr.. JOhn
Ball Osborn, of Scranton, Pa, Is as
sistant secretary.
The commissioner is charged particu-
larly to look after the agricultural in
t~erests, both north and south, not for
getting the large and constantly in
creasing manufacturing interests east
of the Alleghenies.
Mr.. KassOn has had a varied expert
nee in diplomatic negotiations n has
shown much ability in all with which
he has been connected.
