Some of the foreign Ministers are sup

trade. II is stated that opposition TO a
treaty might arise il It would greatly re-
duce the customs receipts by diverting
all trade to the United States on the basis
of a low tariff This was foreseen when
il was proposed to raise the present duties
n order to allow a margin for revenue

Riding to Their Ruin.

A Washington dispatch says the
Democrats are rejoicing over the serl-
Gus threats of disruption in the ranks
Of their Republican friends. 1t looks
very much as II the Democracy will
stand a chance Of winning the house
in the elections this year. The trouble
seems to be thatif the party is divided
into sections which cannot agree as to
whose benefit the government is to be
run for. In congress there is a split
between the sugar interests on Cuban
reciprocity which has lined up the
party in two bitterly opposing fac
tions and caused merry riot In the
party caucus. In New York there is
a strong feeling against the president
for his independence Of Wall street,
whose magnateS have been set at
naught. There is a chance OF Demo
cratic success in the Empire state.
Platt and O'Dell are trying to patch
up the breach. In all Of the western
states there is great feeling against
the administration for it's pro-British
sympathies and imperialistic tenden-
cies, and the German and Irish vote
there is very large. The trust inter
ests are mad, the tariff reformers are
mad, the America for Americans" in
tn north and west are made, there
are local fights and disturbances every,
where. and it looks as if the Republi-
can party is about to ride to ruin. a
