Secretary Sherman Consults the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee
Regarding the Negotiation Of G
Treaty Similar to Freling-
huysen's,
Which Was Withdrawn at the
Beginning Of Cleveland'S
First Term.

WASHINGTON, March l7.-Secretary
of State Sherman met the senate com.
mittee on foreign relations by his own
appointment and was closeted with
them for some time. The principal
subject under discussion is understood
to be the treaty with Nicaragua. Sec
retary Sherman has under considera.
tion the negotiating of another treaty
such as was negotiated by Secretary
Frelinghuysen, which was withdrawn
at the beginning of Mr.. Clevelands 8
first administration. Secretary Sher-
man. when discussing the Rodriguez
letter against the old Nicaraguan bill,
indicated his desire to negotiate a
treaty on the old lines, and supported
the stand taken in the letter. The
probabilities are that if new position
is taken on the canal question it will
be on the lines of the Frelinghuysen
agreement. Secretary Sherman's long
connection with the senate led him to
consult the senate before any definite
terms Of agreement were made.

Italian Vice Consul Gives Details of Re-
voting Barbarity in Crete.
CANEA, March l7.-There is nothing
new in the situation here, but sensa-
ton has been caused by the report that
the Italian vice consul, who has visited
the spot, confirmed the report of mas
sacres of Moslems in the Sitia district
by Christians last month. He gives
details of revolving barbarity, and fixes
the number of victims at 1000. The
evidence, however,, is not very convinc-
ing and does not preclude the possibil-
ity of severe fighting The Mussul-
mans make the most of the affair and
accuse the Christians of ls1tting their
determination on the ground that their
presence is the only objection which
Europe entertains to the annexation of
Crete by Greece. The exasperated
Moslems are finding an outlet for their
rage i'll wholesale pillage. Two Greek
men. of-w war are still in the harbor.

Imports VIII Fall OF.

This estimate is OH the supposition
that the imports of each class of goods
would be the same next fiscal year as
in the fiscal year ended last June. But
as the imports of woolens were three
times as great as in 1893, the committee
assumes that the excessive importation
would be largely reduced by the pru- j.
posed Dill, ana places the increased rev.
enue from this source at $25 200, 600.
From sugar we estimate a2O, 900, 900
additional revenues. Anticipating
considerable falling off of imports of
Havana tobacco because of the revolu-
tiOn in Cuba, we reduce the estimates
of additional revenue to be derived
from the tobacco schedule to 81 200, 900.
The remaining schedules would afford
a revenue of about $50, 900 on the
basis of the imports of 1896, but as
there would probably be diminished
imports at some points, although the
gradual restoration of business activity
would offset this by increasing the con-
sumption of imported luxurles, we re.
duce the estimates on these to $3l ,OOO,-
900. These would aggregate all addi-
| sCOSOVO,OoO
year.
Where the Increase Comes From.
This increase of revenue is secured
by transferring wool, lumber, crude
opium, paintings and statuary, straw
mattings, burlaps and various articles
from the free list of the present law to
the dutiable list !; by increasing the
duty OH woolens to compensate the
manufacturer for the duty placed on
wool by raising the duty on sugar
about three fourths of cent per pound
in order to encourage the production of
sugar in this country, which, it Is be-
lieved, can be done, and thus give our
farmers a new crop which we now i'm
port mainly from abroad; by increas-
ing the duty OH agricultural products
affected by Canadian competition, and
on fine cotton goods, some advanced
manufactures of iron and steel, manu-.
factures of jute, flax and hemp, in or.
der to encourage these and other indus.
tries here, and especially by increasing
duties on such luxuries as liquors, to-
bacco, silks and laces, etc.
Reciprocity Provisions.
1.-The reciprocity provisions of the
act of 1890 have not only been fully re.
stored, but this policy has been ex.
tended by adding to sugar, tea, coffee
and hides as articles on which to make
reciprocal agreements, such articles as
champagne, brandy, wines, artificial
and natural mineral waters, chickle
argots and silk laces.
1.-The bill as a whole has the unani
nous support of the Republican mem
bers of the ways and means committee
and will, it is hoped, receive the sup
port not only of Republicans, but o.
others who believe that revenue should
be at least equal to expenditures, will
