President to Name a Commission
to Negotiate Treaties.
JOHN A. KASSON SELECTED
Vill Endeavor to Renew All the
Agreements Made Under the Har-
rison Administration and Since
Revoked—Provislons of the Law.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 15.—The
President is about to announce a com-
missioner to take charge of negotiat-
ing commercial treaties with foreign
countries. For some time past Mr.
McKinley has been considering the
subject of reciprocity, and the advisa-
bility .with opening negotiations with
other nations. He has been in consul-
tation with a number of persons in re-
lation to the best course to pursue, and
has finally decided to name a commis-
sioner to take charge of the matter.
Hon. John A. Kasson of Iowa has
been asked to accept the commission-
ership and assume charge of the work.
Mr. Kasson will have several assist-
ants. .
Has Two Years to Act.
Under Sections 3‘ and 4 of the new
tariff act the President is empowered,
with the advice and consent of the
Senate, to make commercial treaties
with foreign countries, with a view to
securing reciprocal trade. The law
limits the time in which he shall act
to two years from and after the pas.-
sage of the tariff act, and consequento
ly the President is anxious that the
work begin at once. It is understood
that the new commissioner will en-
deavor to renew all the reciprocity
treaties negotiated under the Harrison
Administration, but revoked under
Cleveland, so far as they are consistent
under Sections 3 and 4 of the Dingley
Tariff act.
Provisions of. the Law.
These provisions of the tariff law
state that, for the purpose of equal-
izing the trade of the United States
with foreign countries and their colo-
nies, producing and exporting to this
country certain articles, the President
is authorized to enter into negotiations
for a. commercial agreement in which
reciprocal and equivalent concessions
may be secured in favor of products
and manufactures of the United
States. The articles mentioned are as
follows: Argols or crude tartar, or
wine lees, crude; brandies or other
spirits manufactured or distilled from
grain or other material; champagnes
and all sparkling wines; still wines
and vermuth; paintings and statuary.
When such commercial agreements be—
tween the United States and the coun-
tries exporting these articles have been
made, and in the judgment of the
President they are reciprocal and
equivalent, he is authorized to sus-
pend during the time of such agree-
ment, by proclamation, the imposition
and collection of duties imposed by the
present tariff law, and thereafter the
duties on such article or articles shall
be as follows: Argols, or crude tar-
tar, or wine lees, crude, 5 per centum ad
valorem; brandies or other spirits
manufactured or distilled from grain
or other materials, $1.75 per proof gal-
lon; champagne and all other spark-
ling wines in bottles containing not
more than one quart and more than
one pint, $6 per dozen; containing not
more than one pint each and more
than one-half pint, $3 per dozen; con-
taining one-half pint each or less, $1.50
I . per dozen; in bottles or other vessels
containing more than one quart each,
in addition to $6 per dozen bottles on
the quantities in excess of one quart,
at the rate of $1.90 per gallon; still
wines and vermuth in casks, 35 cents
per gallon; in bottles or jugs, per case
of one dozen bottles or jugs containing
each not more than one quart and
more than one pint, or twenty-four
bottles or jugs containing each not
more than one pint, $1.25 per case, and
any excess beyond these quantities
found in such bottles or jugs shall be
subjectto a duty of 4 cents per pint
or fractional part thereof, but no Sep-
arate or additional duty shall be as-
sessed upon the bottles or jugs: paint-
ings in oil or water colors, pastels, pen
and ink drawings and statuary, 16 per
centum ad valorem.
As to Ten. and Coflee.
The section states that the President,
whenever he is satisfied that any such
reciprocity agreement with any gov-
ernment has not been fully executed,
shall have the power to revoke such
suspension of dutie.s._ It also provides
thati .‘Vith a view to securing recipro-
cal trade with countries producing and
exporting to the United States coffee,
tea and tonquln, tonqua or tonka beans
and vanilla beans, when such govern-
ment imposes a. duty on the agricul-
tural, manufactured or other products
of the United States which, in view of
the introduction of such coffee, tea,
tonka and vanilla beans into this coun-
try free, the President may deem to be
reciprocally unequal and unreasonable,
'he can suspend by proclamation the
provisions of the tariff act admitting
these articles free and impose specified
duties. ~ '
The Administration expects to an-
nounce all the members of the new
commission at once, and hopes that the
work of negotiating reciprocity treaties
will begin immediately.
Jury Played Cards for Verdict.
Ashland, Wis., Oct. 15.—A. L. War-
ner, a juryman in the case of Ewer vs.
Darwin, which was decided a few days
'ago in favor of the plaintiff, has made
an affidavit, which has been filed by
counsel for the defense as the basis
of a request for a new trial, that when
the jury stood 11 to 1 for the plaintiff
the verdict was settled by the result of
a game of cards between the dissenting
juryman and one of the others.
Killed 11 Stage Robber.
Delta, Ca1., Odt. 15.—A desperate fight
took place this morning in this town
when William Harald. a stage robber
who had been run to earth by officers,
killed Under Sheriff Radford, wounded
Under Sheriff Stewart, and was him-
self shot through the heart. The fight
did not last a quarter of a minute, but
fully twenty shots were fired and Har-
aid was filled with lead.
$50,000 Gift to Yale.
New Haven, Oct. 15.—Another gift of
$15,000 has been announced for the
Yale Law School. The donor is John
W. Hendrie,"of South Beach. He has
now given $50,000 to the institution.

Doane’s Kidney Pills cure sick kid-

Cure all kidney ills. r Wig—5’51;
Hundreds of citizens testify to this.
Here is a case in point:
Mr. R. G. Millard, of 51 West ave-
nue,South Norwalk, engaged in the fur
manufacturing business in Wést Nor-
walk says: “I have had kidney trouble
for years, and have taken so much
medicine and been, under the care of
physicians so often that I ought to be
an authority on the question. I seemed
to be rid of my trouble for a time, but
it showed signs of returning and I
wanted to check it. I noticed some
published statements about Doane’s
Kidney Pills and procured a box at
Glendening’s Pharmacy in Norwalk.
They helped, and a continuance of the
treatment I believe willjeventually ef-
fect a radical cure.”
Doane’s Kidney Pills help at first,
heal, strengthen, then cure. That is
their record everywhere and there are
many such cases. You can read about
them every day.
Chatelaines are degenerating. A
brass chain with any sort of dangling
ornament now passes muster for the

TAUNTS FOR ME. SHERMAN
Demand that the Cabinet Shall Put
an Immediate End to Bimetnllic
Negotiations—Gladstone and the
Venezuelan Question.
London, Oct. 15.—»The afternoon
newspapers yesterday take the same
views of Secretary Sherman’s latest
dispatch to the Marquis of Salisbury
on the sealing conference question as
expressed by the morning papers. The
St. James’ Gazette says:
“It will be a relief if this transatlan-
tic Polonius is restricted in the future
to playing the fool in his own home,
and the foreign affairs of his country
are transferred into more capable
hands. But we need not count upon
this too confidently. We, ourselves,
allowed an elderly statesman to play
tricks in the national name with na--
tional interests for many a long year."
The St. James’ Gazette taunts Mr.
Herbert Gladstone with ”copying Sec-
retary Sherman’s manner” in a speech
Wednesday evening, in which Mr. Her-
bert Gladstone said that the Venezue-
lan question would not have been
peacefully settled if there had been no
United States concerned, adding that
in the latter case, “Our ironclads
would have been sent there and our
troops would have made short work
of the Venezuelan question. But the
United States appeared on the scene,
and the virtues of arbitration became

Nephew of the Murdered Woman—No
Real Evidence Against Him.
Camden, N. J., Oct. 15.—Charles Hig-
gins, a nephew of one of the women
murdered Tuesday morning at 242 Line
street, was arrested yesterday in Phil-
adelphia in connection with the inur-
der.
Prosecutor Jenkins says they have
no real evidence against Higgins, but
believe that he can shed some light on
the subject.
John Duney and Harry Deasey, the
two Philadelphians who were arrested
in Stockton on suspicion of being the
murderers of Mrs. Emma Shaw, have
been cleared of all suspicion by the an» '
thorities here.
They had a hearing and were closely i
questioned, after which it was decided '
that they had nothing to do with the I
double crime and they were released ‘
yesterday.
There is $1,000 reward for the arrest
of the murderers, $500 being offered by
the county and $500 by the city.
Important Naval Changes.
Washington, Oct. 15.—Two changes of
importance to the navy were made by
Secretary Long yesterday. He as-
signed Commodore John A. Howell,
present commander of the League Isl-
and Navy Yard and president of the
Armor Plate Board, to the command of
the European'naval station, and Com;
modore George Dewey, president of the
Board of Inspection and Survey, to the
command of the Asiatic naval station.
These assignments are made necessary
by the coming retirement for age of
Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr.,
the Commander-in-Chief of the Euro-
pean station, and the expiration of the
tour of duty of Commodore F. V. Mc-
Nair as Commander~in-Chief of the
Asiatic station.
Ready to Try Thorn.
New York, Oct. 15.——The trial of Mara
tin Thorn for the murder of Gulden-
suppe, which begins on Monday in
Long Island City, will rival in inter-
est any trial for murder ever occurring
in this country.
The prosecution will call nearly one
hundred witnesses, and Lawyer owe,
for the defense, will produce forty.
Among the witnesses for the ‘defense
will be experts to prove that the stains
in the VVoodslde cottage are not blood-
stains, and witnesses who will swear
that the dismembered body in that of

Inspector Schari’s Resignation.
Washington, Oct. 15.—Secretary Gage
has accepted the resignation of J.
Thomas Scharf, special Chinese In-
spector for the Southern District of
New York, to take effect to-day. In
his letter of resignation Mr. Scharf as-
serts that the Chinese Exclusion law
is a failure, and intimates that its en-
forcement is made impossible by the
use of money, which has corrupted of—
ficials both in Washington and on the
border. No appointment has been de-
termined upon to fill the vacancy. Mr.
Scharf was a holdover from the Cleve-
