RECIPROCITY WITH ITALY.
Treaty Ratified by the United states
senate.


Washington, Feb. 10.-The reciproC-
ity treaty under the Dmglcy act be-
tween this country and Italy was
signed Yesterday. II is not TO be pub
lishcd until ratified by the Italian
chambers. 1t is stated, however, that
the United States gains a considerable
reduction ON cotton seed oil, of which
Italy is heavy consumer, and other
staples, while Italy secures the abate-
mcnt of duties on still wines, arIp!s
and works of art.
1t was learned later that conces-
sons made by Italy TO the United
States are quite extensive, including
agricultural and electrical machinery,
fish. picked and i'm barrels; sardines
and anchovies, and scientific inStru-
mcnts.
In addition TO these articles sent in
considerable quantities 70 Italy are
placed on the free list, viz: Turpen-
tine, natural fertilizers and skins. The
amount Of reduction on the dutiable
articles is considerable, in some cases
reaching as high as 80 cents quln-
tai.
The concessions granted by the
United States TO Italy are the same as
those allowed France under her reel
procity arrangement.
The agreement is the result OF many
months Of negotiation, and the con-
cessons on both sides are regarded as
quite advantageous.

OPPOSES CANAL TREATY.
Congressman Hepburn Against Mica.
raguan Agreement.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Representa-
tive Hepburn, chairman of the house
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee. which has charge Of the Nica-
ragua canal appropriation, opposes
the canal treaty with Great Britain
now pending in the senate.
81 think" he said, that the negoti-
alton of this treaty is very unfortu
nate, and it ought not to be ratified
by the senate. do not know that the
pcndcncy of the treaty will interfere
with action by congress on the Nica-
raguan canal bill, but the ratification
of the treaty would certainly impair
the value of the canal when con-
struCted.
This treaty reaflrms the principles
Of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, conccd-
ing all the claims and contentious that
Great Britain has by her own action
given ms the right at any time to abro-
gate: il surrenders everything to
Great Britain, abandoning our conten-
ton Of years that we might abrogate
the treaty AT will.
Moreover. il recognizes the right Of
any foreign power to interfere and die
tate with reference 10 our negotiations
with the independent governments of
this continent. 1t abandons the Mon-
roc doctrine"

THE tyrannouS and bloody act is
done. the most arch deed and piteous
massacre that ever yet this land was
guilty of. Gocbcl is dead, but that
which he stood for and that which he
died for still lives. Some men in their
death render greater services TO the

FIGHTING NORTH OF MODDER.
Eocrs and British Have Sharp
Engagement.


Koodoesberg Drift, Feb. 6.-The
Beers yesterday made determined at
tempt to drive the British from hill
commanding the drift. Mounting two
7-pounders at the northern extremity,
they shelled the position intermittent
" the whole day. The Seaforth High
landers gained position on Rock
summit and kept up sustained rite
fire, but suffered somewhat from the
Boer shelling. A battery was sent and
succeeded in silencing the Boer fire.
Meanwhile two companies of Argyl
Highlanders, advancing along the
plain in a westerly direction, found
the Beers entrenched at a small drift.
\ sharp engagement followed, lasting
the whole day. General Macdonald
now only required sufficient troops in
order to completely surround the
Beers. General Babington was dis
patched from Modder river with u
large force of cavalry and two horse
batteries, but failed to reach here, al
though he started early enough in the
day TO enable him 10 get here early
this evening. This morning the in
fantry still remain in the old position.
General Metheun has ordered re-
tircment to the Modder river, which is
now proceeding. The British loss
were fifty men.

RUSSIAN WHIST.
A Game Of Cards That Is Very
Popular in England.

Troy Times: America has already RI
vailed England as home for whist. 1t
will be interesting to see whether we
shall also follow the example of our
transatlantic cousins In the mania for
bridge or Russian whist which is now
all the rage i'm London, and in many card
circles has made whist as obsolete as
Boston 1t is n sort of dummy whist.
Different suites of cards give different
values TO the tricks, the red suits, for
example, being more valuable than the
black. The dealer does not turn up n
trump card. but has the privilege of max
ing any suit he pleases trumps, or may
declare no trumps, which increases the
value of the tricks. This value also may
be doubled again and again by the hold
ers of good hands, so that Ii is game of
uncertainties. The best authorities use
the American leads, which are rather
dropping out Of use in English whist.
The devil is always to pay in a
printing office.
