Bingham Schools Well Equipped

Had one talked about college grad

have told that to secure any number
of them, would be an impossibility.

IS BARRED FROM HOLLAND
British Government Exercised
Over Ban Placed Against
a Subject.

ROTTERDAM, Holland March L.
Rudolph b. Tinsley, director of the
Uranium steamship line, who is now in
Berlin, has been prohibited from re-
turning to Holland. This drastic ac-
tion of the Dutch authorities is the
outcome of the transatlantic emigrant
traffic dispute which arose from Ger
many's refusal to permit Russians re-
turning from America aboard the
steamer Volturno to pass through Ger
many.
Tinsley is a British subject. The or
der of the crown forbidding his pres
ence in Holland was received this
morning by the chief commissioner of
police. 1t is based upon the law gov
erning the residence of foreigners in
Holland.
LONDON, March 1.-Sir Alan john
stone, British minister at The Hague,
reported to the foreign office today the
action of the Dutch government in ex-
cluding from Holland Rudolph B. Tins
ley, a British subject and director of
the Uranium Steamship Company, a
British concern.
Communications on the subject are
being exchanged between the two capt.

No Inquiry Received Here.

While no inquiry has yet been received
from the German government as to the
effect of the proposed Canadian reci-
procity agreement upon imports from
Germany into the United States of articles
enumerated in that arrangement, it has
been fully expected by the State Depart
ment that most Of the commercial pow
ers would Immediately make application
for like privileges to those ENJOYED by
the Canadians after the arrangement Is
once in force. But it may be stalled
authoritatively that all of such applica>
tions will be politely, but firmly. declined.
The State Department has uniformly
taken the position that the benefits
conferred by reciprocity treaty can
not be claimed by third parties as a
right under the favored nation clauses
of existing treaties. Such was the de-
cision of Attorney General Olney in
President Cleveland's administration in
answer to Germany's suggestion that
her sugar be admitted into the United
States free of duty, as was the sugar
of Hawaii. under the terms of the
reciprocity treaty between that king
dom and the United States.
There has been no change in the atti-
tude of the State Department since
that date, and the only basis on which
Germany can secure for her products
such advantages as will accrue to
Canadian goods, presuming the pend
ing arrangement becomes effective, is
by the conclusion of a special reci-
procity treaty or agreement with the
United States
