cial bill through the House before the end

ment might be reached which would save

ing the perfect harmony of party action

sion.

there was some misapprehension as to the

that after certain date no uneouipped

THE TRINIDAD TREATY.
Why 1t Was Omitted From the List
Sent to the Senate.

A noticeable omission In the list of reci-
procity treaties transmitted to the Senate
by the President along with his Taessa ge
yesterday was the treaty concluded last
summer between Mr.. Kasson, representing
the State Department, and delegation
from the Island of Trinidad, B.W.I. This
particular treaty was framed generally on
the lines of the arrangement made with
the other British West Indian colonies.
But at the last moment, and just before the
treaty was to be submitted to the Senate
the Trinidad government notified Mr.. Kas-
son, the special plenipotentiary, that it was
obliged to withhold its final approval of the
treaty. Consequently this particular con-
vention was not submitted along with the
others to the Senate. The reason assigned
by the Trinidad government for its action
was the probable inadeqUacy of the Gus
toms receipts of the island to maintain the
government, under the application of the
reciprocity treaty. Much of the trade of
the island Is with the United States, and
the duties on imports being already very
low, the further reduction proposed in the
reciprocity treaty would, 1t was estimated
reduce the total receipts below the necessi-
ties of the government of Trinidad.
