RECIPROCITY AGAIN.
A Special Commissioner Appointed to Ne
gOtiate Treaties.

"A special "A ppoihtcu " NC
gotiate Treaties.
Report CO mes from Washington tha at
the president has decided to appoint a
special commissioner with plenary
powers to carry into effect the reel
procity arrangements of sections and
4 of the tariff act approved July "A,
1897. 1t was found upon making in
vestigation of the matter that the reg
ular force of the department of state is
at present so overero Nded with press
ing business that ser. Gus delay in car
rying out the expressed wish of con-
gress would inevitably follow if in ad-
diton to the usual routine work of the
department its officers were required
to perform the civil examinations and
negotiations essential to carry fOrwa I'd
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 we'll as from our
own citizens. The interest of the pres
ident in reciprocity is especially keen,
and during his connection with the
tariff legislation of 1890 while Chairman
of the committee on ways and means
of the house of representatives, the in
clusiOn in that law Of reciprocity pro-
visions was conclusive of his determin n
industry and commerce by this means.
In view of these facts the president has
designated the Hon. John A. Kasson of
Iowa as such special commissioner,
with Mr.. Chapman Coleman of Ken
lucky as secretary.
The commissioner is charged par
ticularlv to look after the agricultural
interests, both in the north and south,
not forgetting the large and Increasing
manufacturing district east of the AL
leghenvs.
Mr.. KassOn has had varied expert
ence in diplomatic negotiations and
has shown much ability in all with
which he has been connected. He
was minister to Austria from June,
1877, to May, 1881, and minister to Ger
many from July, 1884, to March, 1895
Preceding his diplomatic service Mr..
Kasson was for many years member
of the ways and means committee of
the house of representatives and in
that place became thoroughly familiar
with all aspects of the tariff question
and the debate on that subject.
Mr. Coleman has also been connect
ed with the diplomatic service. For a
number of years he was secretary Of
the Z nited States EN- basSy at Berlin.
He Is a deep student of economic ques-
tions. Because of his experience he is
expected to render valuable service to
Mr.. Kasson 10 dealing with these i'm
pOrtant negotiations. 1t is expected
that the commission will be speedily
and promptly begin it's i'm
portant labors. 1t will be established
in the department OF state. where suit
able quarters have been assigned by
of the secretary of state.

In the Licking River Goes Ont With
Crash-Eight Bsrges Torn From Their
Moorings and Tossed Into the Ohio.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 4.-The Licking
river broke loose at the Eleventh.
Street bridge in Covington Wednesday
at $50 a. m.
The ice had been gorged there eight
or ten feet high, and when it broke the
ice swept down in miniature bergs,
which were hurled nearly across to the
Ohio side.
The steamer Henry M. Stanley,
packet boat, was torn from her moor
ings, and with no steam on was car
ried out into the midstream of the
Ohio.
Eight barges were torn from the
shore and tossed into the Ohio. One of
the barges, partly loaded with coal,
was split in twain at the mouth of the
Licking and sank.
There was great excitement on the
Ohio side, and the hands were busy in
fastening the boats to their mornings
The steamer Henry M. Stanley drift
cules Carrel and Al Martin put out
from the shore to render what service
they could.
The break in the ice is supposed to
have been the result of the rise at But

that another gorge higher up will
break
The big rush of ice and water from
the Licking continued Is minutes,
when the calm came, and a steady
flow prevailed the rest of the day, do
ing no damage. The steamers and
wharfboats on the Ohio side, opposite
the Licking, were at no time in dam
ger, although there was much anxiety
on the Pu bile Landing when the Lick.
ing torrent started.
When seven barges, belonging to the
Licking Coal Co., appeared in the Ohio
the Hercules Carrel blew the distress
signal, warning the boats below, and
all escaped damage. The sunken
barge of Veith & Co. contained only a
few tons of coal The barge disap-
peared in the Ohio, near the mouth OF
the Licking, soon arose and fioated
down stream. The other barges, all
empty, were old and frail, and had not
been in use for long time. They were
too worthless to save, and were allowed
to float away.
When the Henry M. Stanley was car
ried into the Ohio the John Moren,
Hercules Carrel and Al Martin put out
after her. The Carrel caught her near
the Southern railroad bridge and she
was tied up at the foot of Wood street.
The Stanley is uninjured and will make
a trip to Pemeroy Thursday if navi-
cation can be resumed. Henry Kirker,
mate of the Stanley, was in her pilot
house and Webb Morris, the watch
man, was aboard while the boat was

STAMP ROBBERS.


Band of Thieves which Has Been Rob

Stamps at the Rate of About 100000 q

New YORK, Feb. AFTER years of
lard work it is now said that the post
office authorities have succeeded in

which has been robbing the govern
nent of stamps at the rate of about
100, 900 year for many years back
The first arrest was made Wednesday
this city, and it will be followed up,
t is further said, by the arrest of the
others in the gang.
The man who was arrested in this
,ity is Hamilton f. Coleman, clerk in

as periodical stamps. They ranged in

pounds of published matter, for in
stance, the postmaster gives it re-
eeipt for the postage paid and cancels
stamps amounting in full value to that
sum.
These stamps are returned cancelled
to headquarters in Washington A
new issue of these stamps was ordered
in 1894. Before that time an issue had
not been made since about 1875.
The collectors of postage stamps are
eager for the stamps aud always have
been, and so the stamps have been
stolen and sold to them. The face val
ne of the stamps is $2O4. "a The mar
ket price, it is said, have been almost
twice that much, so that the thieves
who have been stealing them have
been making small fortunes.
1t is against one of the statutes of the
United States to have these stamps in
ones possession, the supposition being
naturally that, as they are never for
circulation and not intended to leave
the hands of the authorities, the per-
sons who have them must necessarily
have stolen them. Coleman was taken
before Commissioner Shields. Post
Office Inspector Morris made an
affidavit that Coleman had received
these stamps from one Randolph j..
Albrecht, and that he had them in his
possession in violation of the United
States laws. The commissioner set his
examination for next Wednesday and
fixed his bail at $4,000. He sent sew
eral messengers out looking for bonds
men.
Coleman said he was innocent, that
the stamps were his property, and that
he could prove his innocence.
The detectives in this city said We'd
nesday that they knew but little about
the true nature of the story behind
the arrest. They refused to tell who
Albrecht was.

did not know Coleman.

cence which characterized them early

thing.
Gen. Scraig and Mexwell said there
were no developments in the matter.
Coleman practiced deception to get
away from his desk and to go to New
York. Tuesday morning he presented
telegram to his chief clerk which
announced his father was dying and
