TO TALK RECIPROCITY
The Newfoundland Premier
in the City.
OBJECT OF HIS VISIT
NOT OFFICIALLY KNOWN TO THE
STATE DEPARTMENT.
Sir Robert Bond to Be Presented to
Acting Secretary Adee by Mr..
Raikes of British Embassy.

Mr.. Raikes, British charge of embassy
who has just arrived in Washington, has
made an appointment with Mr.. Adee, the
acting secretary of state, to receive Sir
Robert Bond, the Newfoundland premier,
who is at the Arlington. Although Sir
Robert has not disguised his purpose of
taking steps to ascertain what can be done
toward the negotiation of a reciprocity ar
rangement between Newfoundland and the
United States, asserting that he is acting
in accordance with an understanding lad
with Lord Lansdowne, the object of his
mission to Washington is not officially
known to the State Department. and he will
be received as would any other distinguish
ed person without reference to official busi-
ness. 1t is improbable that Mr.. Adee v i'll
be prepared to enter into any engagement
with his caller upon this important subject
in the absence of definite instructions from
the executive.

Cuban Tax on wines aad Liquors.

Owing to the peculiar phraseology of the
decree OF President Palma relative to taxes
on spirituous liquors and vines, as the
same was received IN Washington from
Minister Squires, grave doubt exists as to
whether the heavy increases and new taxes
proposed are import taxes OF purely inter-
nal revenue taxes. The difference yitaI
to American exporters in that line OF trade,
and In answer to numerous inquiries steps
have been taken to clear up the ambiguity.

clusion of the conference the committee de-

Sir Robert Bonds Mission.

SAID regarding Sir Robert Bonds visit:
Sir Robert Bonds mission to Washington
to discuss reciprocity in fish products it is
thought here, will probably raise again the
Whole issue of free trade with Canada. The
Newfoundland premier has something to
offer the United States for the concession
or reciprocity in fish products.
The American fishermen want bait to
carry on their operations, and this bait is
procurable only in Newfoundland waters
The Americans buy this and pack it in ice
Tor use on the Banks. AS the Americans
nave no fishing rights within the three
mile limit. they have to recognize New
foundland authority by obtaining a license
and paying a fee of $3.50 a ton register
Last year ninety-nine out of the Cana
dlan fleet of 157 obtained bait in Newfound-
land waters. and sixty-siX American ves-
sells also bafted there besides which nearly
250ooo barrels of herring were taken from
there In American bottoms to be used as
oalt for the United States fishermen on the
coast.
Before the Joint Commission.
This question of fishery reciprocity proved
one of the most complicated of those before
the Joint high commission which sat at
Washington and Quebec in 1898.
No arrangement was reached by the COM
MISSION one of the main reasons being
that Newfoundland and Canada had d.
vergent Interests. The American delegates
We're willing to frame agreement with
newfoundland, but not with Canada The
reasons were that Newfoundland could
give bait supply to the Americans and
would require market for only part of
Its catch of fish, whereas If reciprocity
were granted to Canada she would want to
send her whole catch into American mar
kets, and would have no bait to give In
return.
New Markets for Fish.
BY the acquisition of Porto Rico and the
close relations with Cuba the United
States fishermen have secured two yaIu-
able new markets for fish, from which the
Canadians are being excluded by means of
discriminating duty of three fourths of
cent a pound. This betters the position
of the American fish exporters, and weak
ems that of the Canadians who have large
stocks on hand now and no means of dis
posing of them. They would be glad TO
throw these into the United States now
under reciprocity, hoping to find new mar
kets there. The Canadians conduct their
fisheries more cheaply by about 40 per cent
than the Americans, being aided in this by
their closer proximity to the fishing
grounds.
The Bond-Blaine convention will doubtless
be renewed, 1t is thought here 1t will
serve as an experiment in reciprocity
Sir Roberts Announcement,
Sir Robert Bond, while at Montreal on
his way to this city, said: 1T is true that
the imperial government has sanctioned
the reopening Of negotiations for trade
arrangement between Newfoundland and
the United States, and I will leave for
Washington at once for that purpose. 1

further statement in regard to the mat

SCHOOL SITE BOUGHT
BUSINESS BRANCH TO BE LoCAT-
ED ON NINTH STREET.
Square Extends From Rhode Island
Avenue to r Street-Ground
Cost $72, 500.

The District Commissioners today pur-
chased as a site for the new Business High
School all of the square of land known Off
c:alIy as the square north of 3@6, which eX-
tends along Gth street from Rhode Island
avenue to r street and runs through to Sth
street. The square contains about $3.50
square feet and the price paid for 1t by
the local authorities was 300. The Com
missiOners were much pleased with this
piece of property from the first, and after
inspecting all of the other sites which they
considered eligible they decided today TO
close the deal. The sale was effected
through Mr.. Joseph 1. Weller, acting for
the trustees of the Wheatley estate. The
site purchased by the Commissioners was
also recommended by the board of educa-
ton and the director of high schools 50 i'll
every respect it is regarded as an appro-
pirate location for the fine new institution
for business instruction.
The Commissioners believe that many ad-
vantages are offered by the site selected
In the first place, they have secured an en-
tire square facing wide streets on all four
sides and containing large area of park
ing. There is consequently great oppor-
tunity for obtaining proper light, ventila-
ton and architectural beauty.
Centrally Located.
The square IS centrally located, the Gen.
ter of population OF the District as given
by the last census being at 9th and II
streets northwest. The site is convenient
TO both of the street car systems of the
capital and is but one block from the new
Mckinley Manual Training School, at 7th
street and Rhode Island avenue. 1t is also
not very far removed from the new public
library building, in Mount Vernon Square.
The square contains five lots, which We're
recently assessed at a total of s4S, 1925,
including $4,000 of Improvements. This as
sessment is supposed to represent two
thirds value of the land, and, according to
the assistant assessors, the market value
of the square is s73,010.01. The Commits
sioners secured the property for s12,5O0
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the site
and s. 500 additional for the preparation OF
plans. The Commissioners will proceed at
once to secure designs and will, as has been
the custom with all school buildings, con-
fine the competition to local architects.
Congress has specified that the building it
self shall not cost more than s1I5,O00
