FLOUR TAX TO STAY.
British Importers Object but Get Little
Satisfaction.

London, May IAN influential del
egation, representing the flour import
ers Of most of the large cities of the
United Kingdom, had an interview
with the chancellor of the exchequer,
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, to protest
against the taxation of flour, which,
the delegates said, would seriously af-
feet the extent of their trade.
The chancellor, in replying, pointed
out that the deputation represented
solely wheat -four and that it was i'm.
possible to consider the grain and
meat duties entirely from that point of
view. It was impracticable, in impos-
ing duties on grain, to differentiate be-
tween grains. The imports of -four,
compared with the imports of wheat,
had grown enormously in recent years,
and he did not think it was to the ben
eft of the people of the country. He
had reduced the duty on offals, so
that the -four importers were now bet
ter off than under the late Mr.. Glad
stones tax, and he doubted whether
they were entitled to further advan-
tageS.

TWO WILL PAIL.
Senate Committee Will Report Favor
ably the Reciprocity Treaties
in Their Hands
Provision that Both House and Senate
Shall Act Upon Them Before
E = They Take Effect
Wool and Sugar Interests May Defeat
Proposed Treaties With Ar
gentine and Jamaica,

Washington, May 1.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
agreed to report favorably all the reci-
procity treaties except the treaty with
Argentine and the treaty with Great
Britain which the committee decided
to report adversely.
The treaties on which favorable re-
ports were recommended were those
with France, Nicaragua, Ecuador and
the Dominican republic and four with
Great Britain covering Bermuda, Bar
BADGES, British Guiana, Turks and
Coicos islands. All the treaties upon
which favorable reports are to be
made are to be amended in accordance
with a previous agreement by adding
the provisions:
"This treaty shall not take effect un-
til the same shall have been, approved
by the congress-
Ehe effect of this amendment is to
require the house of representatives as
we'll as the senate to act upon the
treaties before they can become effec-
tive. The defeat of the treaty with the
Argentine Republic was due largely to
the fact that large quantities of wool
are produced in that country, while
the opposition to the Jamaican treaty
was largely on account of citrus fruits
and sugar.
The treaties with Nicaragua and
Ecuador have expired, but the COM
mittee proceeded on the theory that
favorable action would have the ef-
feet of renewing them SO far as this
country is concerned.

PISTOLS WERE DRAWN.
New York Gamblers Nearly overpower
the Police,

the Police.
New York, May 1.-For the first
time in the recent police raids here on
poolrooms and other law breaking re-
sorts pistols have been drawn. Cap
tain Sheehan, with three men, gained
admittance to an alleged poolroom in
West Fourteenth street, in the heart
of the "Old Knickerbocker district I
When the door swung ajar, however,
scores of persons rushed from the
rooms, which were located in an old
brown stone front residence, and at
tempted to throw the captain and his
men over the balastrade. Captain
Sheehan knocked several of his pros
pective assailants unconscious with his
club. His men were being rapidly
borne toward the stairway, however,
and pistols were quickly drawn. With
bloodshed as a possibility the crowd
quickly submitted and 81 prisoners
were carried to the tenderloin station.
Captain Sheehan was knocked down
during the fight by blow on the head,
but was not seriously hurt.

TRAFFIC MAY CEASE.
Tugmen Expected to Strike in Sympa-
thy With Eiremen.

Duluth, May 1.-The strike OF the
longshoremen for 60 cents an hour,
an advance of 10 cents, continues with
no apparent sign Of yielding on the
part of either the men or the vessel
owners. More lumber boats arrived
during the day and more than twenty
are now in the harDor. They are load
ing with their own crews, which is
necessarily slower work.
The strike of the tug firemen is also
unsettled, but the tugs are running,
having been able to procure all the
men they need and more. A possible
complication is in sight, however, that
will result in a general strike on the
Great Lakes Towing company's tugs
along the entire chain of lakes.
Little can be learned Of what it is,
but it is limited that the licensed Tug
mems Protective association, which IL
cludes the masters and engineers, is
liable to take the part of the firemen
and order a general strike. Little
definite is known here, but this out
some is being quietly predicted among
the men. -a

Rumor That General DeIarey Had Sur

London, May There is no truth
in the report circulated in the United
States that General Delarey, with
three Boer commands has surrender
ed to the British in South Africa.
The war Office received dispatches
from Lord Kitchener during the day
but he made no mention of surrenders.
Operators on the Stock Exchange
were busy with peace rumors but they
were all very intangible. The Boer
commanders were said to have sur
rendered. This, later, was supplement-
ed by the New York report that Gen
eral Delarey and three commanders
had given themselves up. AS matter
Of fact Delarey arrived at Klerksdorp
April "a; and his commands, under
General Kemp, were arranging to hold
meeting westward of that place dur
ing the present week.
A dispatch from Pretoria announces
that State Secretary Reitz of the
Transvaal has had a meeting with
Commandant Beyers, in the Peters
burg district, but the result, if any, is

A gigantic railroad scheme was
launched during the day in the incor-
poration here of the Great Northern
Consolidated Company of Canada with
an authorized capital of $1O,OOO,OOO.
The corporation papers are signed
by dummy incorporators, but the story
has leaked out that this company is the
first step toward the building of a
railroad from Duluth, Mimi, to Daw-
son City, in the Klondike.
The road is to cost $150,000,0O0 and
James J. Hill, the Northern Pacific
and the Canadian Pacific roads are be-
hind the scheme.
The line will go through long
stretches Of wilderness and in some
places will be 300 miles from any other
railroad. Freight will come over this
line to Duluth and from there will be
loaded on boats for the East and Eu-
rope. The road is to be commenced
this summer, it is said.

al Jacob H. Smith, testified at the

which is trying the general. The lieu
tenant said he knew well the signature
of Lucban, the insurgent leader who
was captured Feb. 20 by Lieutenant

poison the natives were, he said, un-
