DEMAND FOR AMERICAN WHEAT.
Going to Spain in Spite of the Twen-

Going to Spain in Spite of the Twen-
ty Per Cent. Extra Duty.
Washington. Feb. 16.-The lack of a com
mercial treaty with Spain. the former
treaty having been terminated by the
war, is not altogether preventing the trade
between the two countries, although Amer
lean products are handicapped by an ad-
ditional 20 per cent. duty in Spanish ports
owing to the lack of a treaty.
Still, even under these conditions, Unit
ed States Consular Agent Mertens, at Va
lencia, reports to the state department
that there is great demand for Ameri-
can wheat. A cargo of 1900 tons of red
winter wheat, which had just arrived
there, proved entirely satisfactory and
importers were willing to receive more.
The consular agent says:
1.-THE price seems TO compare favorably
with that of Russian wheat (the kind
generally imported here when there is a
demand for foreign wheaD, although
American wheat pays 20 per cent. higher
duties than grain from countries which
have commercial treaty with Spain. This
is the first direct shipment from the Unit
ed States to this port since the war"
The consular agent above quoted re-
malned at his post throughout the entire
war and even continued in the discharge
of his official functions as far as possible
without moiestation.

postofice appropriation bill providing for
special mail facilities along the line of the
Southern Railway, between New York and
New Orleans.
The result was not accomplished untn
several hours were consumed in thrashing
over the Old straw, which the opposition
to the measure annually revives-the false
plea of economy.
Senators Bacon and Clay, aided by SEN
ators Tillman. Morgan of Alabama, Sulll-
van of Mississippi, Chandler. Carter and
Quay, made it perfectly clear that the ap-
preparation for special mail facilities
through the South was not a subsidy to
the Southern Road but was in the interest
of the people living along the connecting
lines who have petitioned Congress in
support of the proposition.
Senator Clay, in a brief, but convincing
speech, showed that he does not believe
in subsidies. nor was he simply endeavor-
ing to benefit the Southern Road. He
said the railroad traffic In some parts Of
the South is hardly sufficient to war
rant the roads in running fast trains
and under the proposed appropriation, in
creased mail facilities are furnished the
people of that section. who would other
wise be greatly inconvenienced by infre-
quent mail deliveries.

gratuity 10 the Southern road in the face

he stated the same old fight had been made

guided by the favorable action of Con-
gress for a number of years past agreed
unanimously to insert the amendment in

Der appreciated the force OF the state
ments of the friends of the proposition as
the result indicated. 1t is probable that
some opposition will be made to the amend
ment in conference, but the overwhelming
vote of the Senate will prevent the Sem
ate conference from receding.
The indications are that the appropria-
ton will be retained In the final draft of
the bill.
