Special Dispatch to THE CALL.

LONDON. Nov. 3.-The British Embas.
sador to the United States. Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has been instructed to ascer-
tain the views of the Government of the
United States in regard to 4 reciprocity
trea'y with the West Indies.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit has been
known here for some time that the West
Indian possessions of Great Britain were
urging the home Government to secure
for the m all the reciprocity advantages
possible under the Dingley act. The inl-
t:ative was taken by British Guiana, where
the High Court of Go onial Legislail IN
unanimously adopted a resolution re-
questing the authorities at London to in
struct the British Embassa Tor at Wash
lngton to secure all the advantages Of
fered to other countries in the line of re-
ciprocity.
The debate in the High Court brought
out the statement that the sugar ind ustry
of the colony, which is the chief one, was
dependent TO large extent on the Amer
can market, the shipments to the United
States exceeding those TO all other coun-
tries. Without reciprocity arran cement,
it was stated in the debate, South Ameri-
Gull sugar pGOu uCiHS COuii llico hOuAI GO
cure control of the American market, and
the industry of British Guiana would BE-
crippled, if not destroyed. 1t was under
stood that the other British American col
onies would take action sim lar to that BY
British Guiana. The instr uctions now
sued to Sir Julian Paunceioie are IN re-
sponse to these appeals from the British
CO onies.
DIT: tt. !, ;oAe raI aoiy
procitv treaties under the Mckinley law
were Barbadoes Guiana, Jamaica, Lee
ward Islands, Trinidad and Windward
Islands. The treaties were negotiated be-
tween Sir Julian Panncefote and Mr..
Blaine on February l, 1892, and President
Harris put them into effect the same
day by proclamation. In that case the
British Government acted for the colo
nies, but subsequently each colony passed
Il law carrying the reciprocity arranEe-
ment into effect. The same procedure
would be observed in the present case.
The aggregate trade of these British col
onies is very great, exceeding that OF
some of the firs,-class nation. When
the last treaties were made the exports o
the colonies were S33, 000, 900 annually and
the imports about the same. The main
shipments TO he Unit d States were:
Sugar, So, $50, 00o; fruts, So 100 600; coffee
$sl7, 900; cocoa, $500, 900; drugs ana chem
icals. $6jS 900. Inc shipments from the
United States to the colonies were mainly
breads tufts, provisions manufactures OF
iron, steel and wood and cotton.

BURNED TO DEATH
IN HIS DWELLIN G
sold Baldy," a Noted Arizona
Miner, PeriSheS in a
Conflagration.
His Charred Corpse Found In the
Ruins Of His Humble
CO bin.
Special Dispa.ch to THE Gail

PRESCOTT, Nov. 8. The cabin OF
William Moore, more famlliary known
as "Old Badly" on Lynx Greek, was des-
troyed by fire some time last night and
the burned body of Moore was found in
the ruins this morning. The remains
were charred beyond recognition, the
arms and legs being burned away.
The testimony introduced at the in
quest develoTed the fact that moore was
sick for several weeks, unable to be
around except for short intervals at q
time.
On Sunday persons who visited him
found him in bed, and he could scar cely
move.
The origin of the fire could not be
learned, but from the position in which
the remains were found il was apparent
that Moore had atten ptcd 10 get out of
the building and mad fallen just inside of
the door.
G. e. Henderson and family live about
$50 or 200 yards from the Moore cabin over
small knoll, and on Monday morning,
between and 5 o'clock, Mrs. Henderson
heard a number of suots fired. As Moore
had some dynamit caps in his ca b n it is
supposed that it was the explosions of
these that she hard. Moore has been q
resident OF that section for a long time
and had been engaged in placer mining.
He wss about 60 years old.

lien. But granting that it is $1,000 OOO,
this would leave $4,000 900 to be applied
on the Governments claim. The Govern.
ment would then lose less than $1,000 0OO-
Isn't $64, ,0O0 GOO a pretty fair sum 10 re-
ceive out OF q total Indebtedness of
$71, 100000, and especially as the Govern
ment holds only second mortgage on
these roadsP
Now, l say that the reorganization
committee is bound to bid for the Kansas
Pacific, although have noticed press re-
ports TO the effect that they Will not but
they hold liens junior 10 the Govern
ment's claims and their ownership OF the
road is an essential feature OF the reorgah-
ization scheme. 1t is also necessary Tor
them to bid in order to make good the
first mortgage which they hold.
1.-THE road is one of the best in the coun-
try. In 1890, 1891 and 1892 the road made
a net income of per cent on $25, ,OO0,O00
and per cent on $20,000O00, THIS was
only for the aided portion. am not
speaking of the unaided part. In 1896 It's
net income was $705, 761. This was pretty
good considering the hard times, but IN
1890 the net income was $774.473, notwith-
standing the immense sums spent Tor re-
pairs and improvements. In 1891 the net
income was 81, 223,60 In 1892 it was
81, sol, 260.
Now, have shown that it will pay q
profit OF per cent on $25. 900, 900. Why,
then, should the reorganization commit
tee allow it 10 be sold for one-half of this
amount, or $l2 800, GOO? how, isn't that q
crazy notion2 No, the road will not be
paralleled by the committee, for they
know well enough that this would impair
the value of its junior securities"
"But how about the reports cabled
from London that Coates Il Son were
prepared TO make even larger bid than
the reorganization committee2" asked
The CALL correspondent, and the At
torney General replied:
"W eknow nothing about their finan-
ciaI standing. Besides, they bad plenty
of time to take the necessary steps 10
become bidders by making the deposit of
So, 100000 as required. They did not do
it, and we have not heard anything more
from them. l hope that the statement
and figures l have given you will be
transmitted and printed without error,
for l feel convinced that tho California
people and the general public will realize
that the Government has done its very
best" c. c. CARLTON.
