NEW CANADIAN TARIFF.
HAS NO EFFECT ON AMERICAN
EXPORTS.
Despite Discrimination in Favor of
Great Britain Our Volume of
Trade Largely Increased.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-A special to
the Tribune" from Washington says:
The new Canadian tariff does not ap-
pear to have decreased exports from
the United States to the Dominion.
That measure, enacted in 1897, provid
ed that goods entering Canada from
Great Britain and her colonies should
enjoy a tariff rate 25 per cent less than
that collected on goods from other coun-
tries, one-half of that reduction going
into effect on August /. 1897, and the
remainder on August 1, 1898. The ex-
portation from the United States to
Canada has, therefore, since August l,
1898, been made under whatever disad-
vantages the new discriminating rates
of that tariff afford It is therefore
interesting to compare the figures of
the exports to Canada since that date,
both with those of the corresponding
months Of 1897, in which only one-half
of the discriminating rate was in opera
ton, and with those Of 1896, in which
no discriminating rate existed.
The figures of the Treasury Bureau Of
Statistics covering the details of the ex-
port trade are now available for the
months of August, September and Oc-
tober. They show that during these
three months of 1898, in which the full
% per cent tariff reduction in favor of
Great Britain and her colonies was in
operation, exports from the United
States to Canada were larger than IN
any corresponding three months in the
history of our commerce with that
country. In fact, the exports from the
United States to Canada have never
shown more rapid gains than since the
enactment of the new Canadian tariff,
giving to imports from Great Britain
and her colonies advantages over those
from the United States.
In the first three months of its opera
ton in 1897, in which the discrimina-
ton in favor of the goods from Great
Britain was only 1919 per cent, exports
from the United States to Canada in
creased nearly S4000,O00, compared
with the corresponding months of 1896,
against an average gain of $4,000, 900
in corresponding periods of earlier
years. In August, September and Oc-
tober, 1898, however, which were under
the full operation of the new law, the
increase over the corresponding months
of 1897 is more than S5000,000. The
total exports from the United States to
Canada in August, September and Oc-
tober of the present year, under what
ever of disadvantage the new law in its
full operation affords, are nearly so
per cent in excess of the corresponding
months of 1896, and practically double
those of the corresponding months of
1894

FAvoRS A LARGE ARMY.
General Merritt Thinks an Increase
is Necessary.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Major General
Wesley Merritt, retiring military Gov
ernor of the Philippines, accompanied
by his bride, formerly Miss Laura Will
Jams, and his chief aid, Major Strother,
has arrived in this city from New York
General and Mrs Merritt will remain at
the residence of Norman Williams, Mrs.
Merritt's father, until after the holi-
days, when they will return to New
York city, where the General will again
resume his position as commander of
the Department of the East, which he
left to go to Manila. In regard to the
inhabitants of the Philippine Islands,
General Merritt said:
THE best we can do is to give them a
good military Government give them
what civilians are necessary to admin
lister the civil functions of government,
and when they are ready to form a
Government of their own, give them
our blessing and let them do so''
When asked what he thought of the
proposed increase of the standing army
to 100000 men, the General declared he
had always believed such increase was
necessary
1--WE need a standing army Of at least
10000 men here in the United States,''
he declared. "Now that we have ac-
quired these new territories, we shall
need few more. But. in my belief,
1000 men are ample and sufficient for
all possible emergencies in Cuba, Porto
| Rico and the Philippines together. The
rest are needed in the United States for
garrison duty
IF a larger force is wanted in the
Philippines it can easily be had from
among the natives.'
General Merritt continued:
by differing the native soldiers with
Americans a most effective army for
duty in the islands can be quickly
formed. In time, perhaps, it would come
to resemble the British army in india
where the greater part of the men are
natives. The Filipinos are anxious to
enlist in such service, and they could be
made into effective soldiers
General Merritt was careful not to
vouchsafe any opinion as to what Con-
gress might do, or as to what he had
learned of its action during his short
stay in Washington. He declared, how
ever, that he would assume his former
post as commanding General of the
Department of the East.

came near having trouble. Yesterday,
at the home of William Anks, the two
came together, and after a few words
they both drew pocket knives, and a
fatal duel followed.
Grubbs was stabbed in the neck and
in the face, and bled furiously, while
Roberts was stabbed in several places,
and was dead when the two men were

GENERAL GREENE ANTICIPATES
TROUBLE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-Major Cen
eral Francis E. Greene, Z. S. A, ac-
companied by his aide. Lieutenant
Schuyler Schifferlin, Forty-seventh
New York Volunteer Infantry, passed
through this city to-day on their way
from Havana to New York City.
General Greene paid a flying visit to
the War Department, and spent about
an hour in consultation with Adjutant
General Corbin in regard to the condi-
ton Of affairs in the Cuban capital. He
said that there would undoubtedly be
trouble in the maintenance of order
pending the transfer of the control of
affairs from the Spanish Government
10 the United States military authori-
ties, but he did not anticipate that it
would reach proportions beyond the
control OF the American forces.
According to his representations, the
Ieeilng between the Spaniards and Gu
bans is intensely bitter, a serious rup-
ture between the two factions now be-
ing aVerted only by the presence of
american troops and the knowledge
that the American military authorities
are determined to preserve order by
the prompt exercise of force in case of
necessity.
General Greene has large private in
terests in New York State. and today
gave notice to the Adjutant General of
ms desire to be relieved of further
hlllltary service, in view of the practi-
cal conclusion Of peace between Spain
and the United States. He expected to
return here Wednesday for the pur-
pose Of further consultation with the
authorities in regard to the condition
ana military necessities in Cuba. If
perfectly agreea Bile to the President. he
VIII tender his resignation from the

HER SHAFT BROKEN.
A Disabled Steam Schooner Drift
ny ing at Sea.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. %. The
steamer San Mateo, which arrived here
to-day, reports having passed the steam
schooner A1catraz off Point Conception,
drifting in a southerly direction, and
beyond the control of her crew, owing
to the fact that her shaft had broken
shortly after she cleared the Golden
Gate.
The Alcatraz left here December 24th
for Mendocino, but barely cleared the
Heads when her shaft broke, and wind
and sea carried her along the coast
southwark. When seen by the San
Mateo she had drifted several hundred
miles from the point of her breaking
down. AS soon as the San Mateo's re-
port was received the steam schooner
Alcazar was ordered from Port An
geles to go to the assistance of the Al
catraz. Little fear is entertained for

emphatic evidence is given Of this de-
termination in the orders issued to ma
val vessels in the last week providing
for the disposition of all the available
naval forces at Manila, Guam and
Honolulu. There is another line Of
communication with the Philippines
during a period of hostilities. This is
to be undertaken by naval auxiliaries
and army transports from New York
by way of the Suez Canal early next
month, but it is a route which gives to
the strategists no concern whatever for
the present, as it would not be needed
in time of war or after the completion
of the Nicaraguan Canal.

within the last two years family
moved from the city to the country.
There were about the new place great
number of mosquitoes, and the possibil.
ity of an intimate acquaintance With
this insect was serious drawback to
their enjoyment of their new home. As
the mosquito season arrived there were
complaints of suffering that made night
q dread. By some means mosquitoes
would get into the house, even though
every door and window were tightly
screened. The theory was that infant
mosquitoes crept through the wires and
grew to maturity in the apartment. At
all events they did their mischievous
work to the great Disagreement and dis
tress of the members of the household,
but they were located and could not
change their residence, a thing they
would gladly have done for this reason
alone, so serious was the trouble.
Toward the latter part of the season
it was observed that the bites, instead Of
swelling and forming blotches an inch
or SO across grew less annoying until on
several occasions there were bites on the
hands that produced no results beyond
the immediate sting of the bite. A lit
tie notice proved the fact that several
mcmbers of the family had by some
process become practically exempt, and
the mosquito plague became but trl-
fling item Of annoyance. 1t might be in
teresting to follow up this subject and
see whether the introduction of this
poison into the system has the same eff
feet as vaccination. rendering the per-
son almost if not altogether proof
against suffering from future punctures
from these hitherto troublesome pests.
