Governor Dockery forwarded thc

In his report Mr. Gentry says that
the firm of Dutton & Harrington owns
the sheds and land at the post, accord
inc TO the statements of the county of
hcors He continues:
Il was informed that this firm ship
ped 10000 head of horses and mules
during the last year. most OF them des-
tined for South Africa. From appear
ances IL looks very much like the busi-
ness is largely conducted under Brit
ish auspices. 1t is claimed. however
that all the compensation received by
the firm is 35 cents day for the care
Of each horse and mule fed for the

CUBAN RECIPROCITY BILL.
Debate on the Measure Resumed in the
House.

Debate on the Measure Resumed in the
House.
Washington, April 1.-THE second
week Of the debate upon the Cuban re-
ciprocity bill began in the house dur
District of Columbia day. but the regu.
lar order was postponed until next
Monday.
Mr.. Mccall Mass, a member Of the
ways and means committee. was the
first speaker. He made an earnest
speech In favor of the passage of the
bill.
He discussed first the economic fea-
lures Of the bill and said that it fixed
the basis for a trade between two peo-
pies amounting now to $75,O0O,0O an
nually and which until provisions Of
the bill would soon be augmented
threefold. The objection that the bill
would injure the beet sugar industry
in this country, he said, rested upon
no sound foundation He produced
figures to prove his assertion and said
that the claim that the sugar trust
would get the benefit of the reduction
could not stand examination. Two
years ago it had been urged that the
trust would get the benefit of the re
moval of duties on sugar from Porto
Rico The result of the experiment
showed beyond question that the re-
moval of duty went directly to the Por.
70 Rican planter.
Mr.. Robertson Ua). also member
Of the ways and means committee. op-
posed the bill in vigorous speech.
He contended that the United States
would reap practically nothing from a
reciprocity arrangement with Cuba.
The Cubans. he argued, today bought
from the United States all they would
under reciprocity. Our meats. flour
etc. go there now and would go there
whether reciprocity were inaugurated
or not.
