RECIPROCITY is DEMANDED.
English Colonies Want to Sell to the
United States.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Slr Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador, is
expected to return here from his London
trip about Oct. Is, Notwithstanding reports
that he would not be back in time for the
Bering sea conference. The staff of the
British embassy, now at Manchester-by-
the-Sea will return next week and, ac-
cording to present plans, the entire Brit
ish representation will be here when the
seal conference is held.
With the return of Sir Julian, it is be
lieved that steps will be taken by the
British authorities TO negotiate reciproci-
ty treaties, under the new tariff law, be-
tween the United States and British
American colonies. Word reaches here
that Sir Augustus Hemming, governor
general of British Guiana, has urged the
authorities at London to effect reciprocity
arrangements with the United States, and
in support of this the legislature of the
colony adopted the following resolution.
THAT his excellency, the governor gem
eral, be respectfully requested to cause
inquiries 10 be made in connection with
the reciprocity clause in the new tariff
pediency of entering into any arrange
ments which will assure the admission Of
the sugar product of the colony on the
most favorable terms"
1t was urged in support of this resolution
that the sugar industry of the colony was
dependent upon the United States market,
which takes Il per cent or the entire pro-
duct.
Sir Cavendish Boyle, the colonial secre-
tary, said this evening it had been pre-
sented to the colonial minister, Joseph
Chamberlain, and that 1t was expected
that the British representative al Wash
ington would be asked to look after the
interests of British COLONIES in this partic-
ular A reciprocity treaty would permit
reduction of duty on the sugar Of Gui-
ana of about 33 cents on 100 pounds.
Under the British colonial system, all
treaties in behalf of the colonies must be
made by the imperial government. 1t is
believed that If reciprocity negotiations
are begun in behalf of British Guiana and
other southern colonies 1t will lead TO sim
liar negotiations for Canada, where the
liberal ministry is favorable to reciproci-
ty. -

STORIES OF THE STORM.

Crew of the steamer Hexham.

Norfolk va, Sept. 2.-The British
steamer Hexham was towed into Hamp-
ton roads Sunday afternoon by the steam
er Endeavour.
The Hexham, freighted with phosphate

en- with lumber and bound from Bruns-
wick to Boston The Hexham hove to and

frozen, half-starved men, who had been
clnging TO the rolling hulk for two days.
Shortly after effecting this rescue, the
propeller, Of the steamer broke down and
left her at the mercy of the waves. In this
condition she was picked up by the En-
deayour, which was making its way to

MAYORS TO MEET IN COUNCIL.
A Distinguished Gathering in Colum-
bus to Discuss Municipal Problems.

Columbus, O., Sept 27.-At the Columbus
auditorium tomorrow morning Will be
opened the first annual convention of the
mayors and councilmen of the United
States and Canada. The official call for
this meeting issued last spring was so
broad and so elastic as to eligibility and
the invitations were so general, that the
managers of the affair have predicted an
attendance of fully 1900; but tonight the
indications are that less than 800 accred-
tied delegates will be enrolled in the or
ganization.
The convention will cover four days with
morning, afternoon and night sessions and
coincident with it in a neighboring hall
will be held the second annual convention
of the National Street Lighting Associa-
ton, organized in New Haven, Conn. in
1886. In some instances the same munich
pal officials are delegates to both conven-
tions.
Papers and addresses are promised on
a wide range of municipal topics, such
as water, gas, electric light and street
car service, the equipment of police and
fire departments, pavements, sewerage,
the disposition of garbage and the pro-
lection of the public health Such ma
tional celebrities as Col. George f. War
ing, New York; Gov. Pingree Michigan;
Mayor Warwick Philadelphia; Mayor
Quincy, Boston, and Mayor Carter Har-
rison, Chicago, are on the programme for
speeches.
Gov Bushnell of Ohio will deliver the
formal address of welcome at the OPEN
inc. session. The topic most likely to pro-
woke spirited discussion, and perhaps TO
in q bxrt
vention, is that of the municipal owner
ship of gas, water and electric light
plants and the control of municipal fran
chise in general.
In connection with the convention there
will be an interesting exhibit of fire, po-
lice paving, lighting and drainage ap-
paratus, and the patentees and vendors
of every sort of appliance and device of
interest to municipal officers are already
here in large numbers and preparing TO
work the convention for all it is worth.
A permanent organization will be per-
fected, and provision may be made for a
systematic and thorough investigation of
the conditions affecting the solution of
what are coming TO be known as 'mu-
nicipal problems" but beyond this, not
much is looked for. except the extension

Pingree Has disappeared From View
and His Friends Are Anxious.
Detroit Mich. Sept N.-Some of Gov.
Pngrees friends are becoming uneasy as
the time goes by and his whereabouts
are not located.
The governor left Detroit two weeks
ago, supposedly for trip down east"
accompanied by Gen. Arthur L. Bresler
and Col Eli r. Sutton. Gen. Bresler has
now returned to the city, saying that he
has been in New York city for the past
two weeks and knows nothing Of the gov
ernor No two opinions regarding his dis
appearance agree. The only clue to his
whereabouts is found in a dispatch from
Curacao, West Indies, saying the governor
and Col. Sutton are figuring on securing
a railroad concession from the Venezuelan
government.
j. B. Howarth, one of Mr.. Pingree's s
partners !n the shoe business, says he
does not know what the governor is doing
IN South America, and many of his in
Inmates think that II he has gone south
at all, 1t Is on a pleasure trip, seeking a
rest.
Careful inquiry as to his whereabouts
ut the governors residence fails to elicit
any information, but no positive alarm
has yet been expressed by his family.

killing was unnecessary and could have
been avoided without serious injury to
either person or property, and we find, fin
ally, that the killing was wanton and un-
justifable, but in this we, George Maue

cur; and we the jury, do further say that
there was such strong suspicion of unlaw-
full violence at the hands of person or per-
