Chicago, NoY. lO-James J. Hill was the guest of honor at the banquet Of the Merchants Club tonight, and de- livered an extended address on "Chi- cago's Interest in Reciprocity with Canada"
 Nlr. Hill recited figures showing that the trade with the people whom the United States vii! be able to reach by the construction oI the Panama canal amounts to only s54, ,5OO,COO annually, while the United States trade with Canada is over $2OO, 100000 per annum He asserted that the conservation aud increase of this trade is of greater i'm portance than anything that will accrue to the United States because of the construction of the canal.
 Concerning reciprocity with Canada' Mr. Hill said:
 "The plea for more liberal trade rela- tions is negatived by only unreasoning individual selfsnness. The conclusive argument for reciprocity with Canada always has been and must be the ex- perience of the several American states. Had it not been prohibited Oy the con- stitution, each state of the Union would have levied a duty on all com merce crossing it's borders, Yet all acknowlede now that the one great factor iu the development of the United States has been the commercial elimi- nation of state lines. 'Unrestrained trade between the states has favored all of them.

continent will best advance the various parts, and this city would receive and confer inestimable profits under a more liberal trade convention. Canada will in any event, and under any system, be opened up and highly developed. Would it then be disadvantageous for us to share in the products of the fields of Manitoba, Alberta and Sas- katchewan?
 "The manufacturing interests of both countries are the first to raise alarm, but there is no danger here, We have as much reason to dread Canadian competition as Pennsylvania has to cry out for protection against North Dakota. Canada would be no more in danger than is Montana by the compe tition of Ohio.
 The time is opportune for a prac- tical movement toward better trade relations with Canada. There has been increasing irritation toward our attitude and already the fact that our average tariff against the Dominion is 1883, per cent!while Canada against the United States is 24.S3. causes com ment and suggests reprisals."
 Would Abolish Customs
 In closing, Mr. Hill said:
 "What is the first practical step? The consummation most to be wished is the wiping out of customs houses along the northern frontier and the establishment there of absolute free trade. If the time is not ripe for that, the least that it demands is ample rec iprocity,n

who had deyotedly attended him
through his illness, and of many of his
most intimate friends, including John
Dillon.
The greatest sympathy has been dis
played by all classes of society during
Mr.. Davitt's illness.
Death was due to blood poisoning,
which followed two operations for NO
crosis of the jawbone, and spread so
rapidly that all efforts to stay its
course were unavailing.
Davitt's chief claim to distinction
rests on the fact that he founded the
Irish Land League, the greatest agra
rian organization of modern times. AS
father of the Land league, he became
the popular idol of the Irish people.
He was noted as an orator
In 1865 he became member of the
Fenian Brotherhood, the result being
that in 1870 he was sentenced to fif-
teen years penal servitude After
serving seven years of the sentence he
was released on ticket of leave"
and two years later. supplied with
funds from the United States, he be
gan an anti-landlord crusade in Ire
land, which ended in the formation of
the Irish Land League.
Shortly after the league was formed
he went to America to organize an aux

Parliament while prisoner in the
Portland convict house in 1882, but
was disqualified by special vote of
the House of Commons because he
had not completed his term. Again
elected in 1892 from Meath, he was
unseated by petition.
The same year Davitt was returned
unopposed by Cork. but was forced to
resign In 1898, owing to bankruptcy
arising from proceedings in the petl-
| tion, which he had fought against as
long as he was able to obtain funds.

MEAT INSPECTION BILL.
lnCorsed by the President. Who Gives
Packers Warninq.

Washington-An important confer
ence was held at the White House re-
garding the meat inspection amend
ment of Senator Beveridse of Indiana
to the agricultural appropriation bill.
The President discussed the ques.
tion with Senator Carter of Montana
and Professor Charles p Neill, com
missioner of labor, who investigated
certain packing houses and later talked
over the matter with Senator Bever-
idge.
At the conclusion OF the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the Presidents S
attitude:
"The meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition of the packers and
their friends who seem to be bending
every effort to defeat it. The Presi-
dent says that if the amendment is en-
acted into law he will be content to
remedy the evils complained of
through the law.
"If, however, the amendment is de-
feated he will feel constrained in the
discharge of his official duty to the
public to send to Congress the reports
in his possession relating to the abuses
'Aioeii5 III 'ht Dt'Nhiii- Ai'"'''''' i'|
feels that it is better to refrain from
making the reports public, not through
any regard for the beef packers par
ticularly but because an official state
ment of the facts would iniure the
stock raisers of the country, thus max
ing them innocent victims of a line of
abuses for which they were not pri-
marily in any sense responsible.
THE only answer that can be made
to the consumers of our meats at home
and abroad will be the enactment of a
law through which an efficient and suf-
ficient inspection shall be made
Senator Carter said that the packers
have asked for more time in which to
consider the amendment.
"One of the principal questions
which they are considering" he said,
''is whether they or the government
shall pay for the inspection service.
1t seems a foregone conclusion that
they will decide that Uncle Sam shall
pay for the work"
Senator Beveridge points out that
the expense will not exceed cents on
a carcass of beef and cents on a car
cass of hog. The aggregate of expense
will be probably $1,500,000 year, it
will be SO widely distributed that 1t
will not fall as burden on the pack
erS.

DEATH OF COUNTY CLERK.
County Clerk and Recorder of HinsdaIe
County Found Dead.

Denver.-A News special from Lake
City says: ]. p. Hix, county clerk and
recorder of Hinsdale county, was found
dead Tuesday morning mile below
town on the Lake Fork of the Gunni'
son river.
He had been down to see his aged
father, who was i'll at his farm, two
miles from Lake City, and stayed from
early morning until between and
o'clock Monday afternoon. He started
to walk back to his home by narrow
path which led beside the creek. He
evidently stepped too near the bank,
and it caved, giving him fall of about
six feet and bruising him SO badly that
he could not get up.
His death, however, was due, not to
the fall, but to heart failure, brought
on by the exposure to the nights
storm. His wife became anxious on
account of his continued absence, and
a searching party was formed, but his
body was not discovered until morning.
when it was brought to his home in
Lake City.
Hix was nearly forty-two years old.
He leaves a widow and four small
children besides an aged father and
an invalid brother to mourn his loss.
He had been clerk of this county for
more than seven years and resident
here for twenty-five years. He came
across the plains from Missouri when
he was a boy. He was universally
liked, and his death comes as great
shock to this community.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
market here had very good tone last
week. but prices are about dime
lower than a week ago on beef cattle.
Eastern markets had big run last
week and reported prices 10 to %
cents lower, which was the cause OF
the decline here. Receipts We're about
300 head, but a large percentage of
them were southern stockers and OF
ferings of native cattle were limited.
Demand was very good for beef, light
weight steers especially being in
strong request. Best here sold at $4.,5
with others at s4.Go and prices ranging
down TO $3.50 on the better kinds.
Cows were wanted, If good. but the
common kinds continue dull. Bulk OF
the better killing kinds sold at $500
TO $3.50. Neals also sold well. but not
many here. Best yeals are now sell
ing around 5000. Several sales OF
southern stockers were reported at SD
for good twos and SIS to $lS.7o for
yearlings delivered. The inquiry for
southern cattle is very good.
The hog supply was heavy and de-
mand this week will not be SO strong,
as packers carried over number OF
live hogs. Prices have tiuctuated
more or less from day to day, but the
tendency has been downward and tops
at $6.32ia are about dime lower than
a week ago.
The sheep supply was light and mar
ket quiet. Demand is very strong on
this market for both sheep and lambs,
but prices hardly as firm as week
ago on account of a decline Of 10 to
% cents at eastern markets.
