I'oor Prospnot That < ho Stock Gam bling Measure Will bo Kcsur * routed at TlilH Session of Congress. WASHINGTON BUUBAU Tnn.0 > tA.iu DEB , ) 51U FOUIUKBNTII STHEKT , , Y WASIUNQTON , D. C. , pt.2. f The following letter , \vrltten by Senator Sherman in November of last year , shows very conclusively the position ho holds on the question of Canadian ro : lproctty and annex ation : SENATP. CIIAMBCII , WASHINGTON , Nov. 25 , 1839 , My Dear Sir : Your Interesting letter of tbo 2id : Is received und read with atten tion. I am moro iirinly of the opinion , the inoro I study the question , that the true in terests of the United States and Canada is their ultimate union under ono government ; that if this at present Is not attainable the interests of the two peoples demand the utmost freedom of commercial intercourse and a free exchange of productions. As to the best mode of bringing this about there may ho a difference of opinion. Diplomacy necessarily requires the assent of Grout JDrltlan as well as Canada , a triangular negotiation that experience shows is dlillcult if not Impracticable. My own opinion , fre quently expressed , is that the batter way is by concurrent legislation of the two powers. Canada is inverted by the mother country with full authority to pass tariff laws and commercial regulations. Congress could by law provide that Canadian llsh , coal , coke , lumber and Iron and other metallic ores be admitted free of duty when ever the Dominion authorities should admit free of duty the chief articles of our produc tion consumed Iu Canada and glvo to our llsh- Ing vessels commercial rights to the full ex tent allowed by both countries to ordinary commercial vessels. The difficulty of coining to a precise agreement of the articles to bo admitted reciprocally free could only bo over come by an exchange of views between the law-making powers of the United States and Canada. How to bring about an understand ing between tbo Dominion and the United States is a matter that you and others deeply Interested In the free exchange of commodi ties should study and point out. Very truly yours , JOHN SnmtsiAx. THE STOCK OAMIIUNO BILL. Representative Bliss of the agricultural comtnlttoo hud a nrlvata talk with Snonkor Kecil today to see if some stops could not betoken token to revive the Duttcrworth stock gam bling bill. The speaker was rather discourag ing , bowo.'er , telling Mr. Bliss that for tbo present at least the time would bo consumed with hearing contested election cases. After they were out of the way tbo tariff bill would probably como in for consideration. Chair man Funston , head of the agricultural com mittee , is still laboring to secure signers to his petition asking the committee on rules to give the option bill another hearing within ten days. Cannon , chairman of the commit tee on rules , was asked what ho would do with such n petition if it reached him : "I would bo disposed to give tbo gambling bill another hearing , " said lie , "but I don't see how it can bo dona at present. The tariff bill is going to talco up much of our time , and with tlio speaker thus disinclined to hurry tbo bill forward and the chairman of the com mittee on rules doubting as to the time need ed for it , there are no immediate prospects that tbo bill can bo galvanized intolifoagaln. " J.OBUVIST W15DDEI1U1W IS MAD. In talking with A. J. Weddeburn , the com pound lard bill lobbyist , today ho outlined a project by which ho hopes to secure the defeat - feat of those western congressmen who voted against the lard bill. Wcddcburu Is an al leged ofllcer In the national grange. He edits a granger paper and itgoos bofoi-ocommittees as "tho representative of the National Graugo of America. " Wcddoburn says ho has getup up a blacklist to bo sent to the heaas of the granges throughout the west. It will | set forth that the men -who voted against the lard bill are enemies of the farmers and should bo defeated. To day ho telegraphed to two districts where conventions are about to bo held , notifying tno masters of the local arranges that the two congressmen who desired rcnomlnations had voted against the lard bill.Veddobum is the man who was accused of irregularities in conncc.tion with the mailing of his grange paper , but ho manages to maintain a high sounding title hi the grange community and it is on the strength of this that ho expects to make his blacklist formidable. A COM TOHTAIJI.n K&nATR. Senator Stockbridgo said today that ho had custom house figures to show that the exten sive house of Armour & Co. in Chicago re ceived two-thirds of the entire drawback paid on foreign salt Imported Into this country for use on export meat. This feature of the salt schedule created considerable of a stir when it was debated in the senate the other day. Senators Cullom and Allison , speaking in be half of the extensive meat exporters of their locality , urged that foreign salt had to be used , as the foreign consumer wouldn't buy American meat cured in American s-alt. But Senator Stockbridgo. speaking for the extensive salt industries of the Saginaw valley , wanted a duty maintained on this foreign suit usoJ on incut because , as ho then said , the drawback they received went into the pockets of a few nulut packers , who could bo numbered on the lingers of his two hands. ' ! didn't ' care to bo personal in the debate , " said the senator today , "for I might have gone on and shown that of the f2. j7XX ( ) which the government pays in drawbacks to American packer * Ar mour & Co. receive two-thirds of the whole amount. I have the custom returns to show the exact facts. " Which indicates clearly that Chicago is doing most of the meat export ing trade which this country enjoys. SIIXISTKK3 AND THE COSTHACT LAVOIt LAW. Before the contract labor law was passed in the house Saturday an amendment was pro posed exempting from its provisions minis ters of the gospel. This curious legislation \vii3 necessitated by a decision of the , treas ury department that clergymen who were called from foreign countries to occupy pul pits in the United States wcro to bo consid ered under the law as contract labor , and several instances have occurred in which churches in the United States have Deen pro hibited from securing pastors of foreign birth. Ono peculiar case occurred on the line between Michigan and Canada. The congregation on this slue of the boundary invited a pastor in a villaso on the opposite side to como over and till their pulpit. Some mischief makers wrote a letter to the secretary of the treasury , calling attention to the fact , and the department was compelled to issue an order prohibiting the engagement of this pastor. Rut in case the scnuto concurs In the action of the house yes terday clergymen will bo exempt from the' provisions of the act. _ _ _ _ _ THAxsrcus is inn AHMT.

Mr. HiUo offered the reciprocity amend ment , of which he had given notice on Juno 19 , and addressed the senate upon it. Mr. Halo referred to the reciprocity message of President Harrison , and lilniue's letter and attitude in support of it , nnd to the Increas ing und earnest discussion of the subject. He assured the senators who represented sorghum ghum and boot sugar districts that ho was not in antagonism with them. If these sen ators objected to the policy of trying to sccuro some benefits from those countries for a repc.il on their sugnr duties he nslto.I them how much moro they objected to the unreserved repeal of these duties. It would be , ho declared , n policy not much short of lunacy to repeal the sugar duties unless the repeal was used to obtain some benefits for tlio products of American labor. To him ono thiiiff was ns sure ns the tides and sunrise , nnd that was that the policy suggested by the president and the secretary of state nnd which had secured the attention nnd approval of the wisest states men In the last thirty years was a policy that had come to stay -with the American peoplo. There never vas ? a tirno moro fitted to try a plan or experiment than now and to his mind the amendment which ho offered was the most fitting solution of the question. Mr. Allison made n long statement of the receipts and expenditures of the government nnd the probable effect of the tariff bill on finances. IIo said the total expenditures for , the current fiscal year would bo about S4ll-- ; 000,000 and the total revenues , including' postal receipts and everything , would bo about $100,000,000. If there was no tariff bill to bo pissed and if the situation re- malucd unchanged there -would bo a surplus of revenue over expenditures for the current fiscal year of SW.OOO.OWif He had not in cluded in the expenditures the amount that would bo paid for silver or claims against the government other than these which have passed congress. Ho figured out the Increase of 527,000,000 iu revenue under the pending 1)111 as against an increase of $01- 500,000 from putting sugar nnd other articles on tbo free list , so that ? 3,590OOJ had to betaken taken off from the surplus of $19,000,000 , leav ing some $15,000,003 , surplus at the end of the year. Paying nothing to the sinking fund , taking Into account the balance now in the treasury Sl07OOiJtOJ-Mr. Allison calcu lated that the secretary oftho trcasurv % yould have § 78,000,000 on July 1,1801 , unless lii' the meantime he redeemed 4J < f per cent bonds , ns ho ( Allison ) hoped the secretary wculd proceed to do without delay. IIo declared that in his iudgmcnt it was a w'so thing to take off the sugar duties. Ho hr.d not the slightest fear that thcro would bo any danger from it to the treasury , cer tainly not within several years to como. IIo ucs also in favor of a further extension of reciprocal trade , but hoped that in any such arrangement It would bo seen to that the United States had its just shuro of the bar gain. gain.Mr. . Gibson offered an amendment to the sugar schedule by adding the words "syrup of hoot , sorghum or sugarcane. " Ho made nn argument against the sugar bounty propo sition and said it was a miserable dwindling away from Elaine's broad and generous propo sition of full reciprocity. Mr. Sherman expressed his -views on the subjcc. of reciprocity and spoke of the diffi culties In the way of reciprocity by treaty. The first proposition of Mr. Halo's amend ment was mono n sinrumg ono. it numorizcu the president of tbo United States , without further legislation , to declare the ports of the United States free and open to all the pro ducts of any nation of the American hemisphere- upon which no cxixn-t duties are imposed. Was Cuba , hu asked , a nationl Ho know Senator Halo said today that ho mount to Include Cuba , but was Canada embraced in that list of nations ? Ho had asked the senator that question and the senator had replied. "No , no , that Is quite a different thing. " And yet if any reciprocal trade arrangements were made with any country they ought to bo made with -Canada. Ho went on to criticize unfavorably the Halo amendment as ono that would allow the free importation of wool , copper , zluc , iron , gold , silver , lead ores , etc. , but was informed by Mr. Hale that the amendment had not been carefully drawn , but was simply intended to propose n simple plan of reciprocity. His own amendment had been intended to apply to only three or four articles sugar , coffee , rubber and nitrate. IIo was reminded by Mr. Sheriuuii that Cuba produced no coffee and no rubber , so the arrangement with Cuba could only bo ns to the article of sugar. Mr. Hale If thep Is nothing to trade upon with advantage , tlien there will bo no trade mado. The plan which I sucRosted is coin- orehcnslvo but not definitive. If thcro is nothing to make a bargain upon , that settles the question. Mr. Sherman My friend from Maine Is whittling down this mngnlticeat theory un til there is nothing loft. Mr. Spoonersuggested an amendment to apply to Canada , putting a duty of 10 per cent ad valorem on green coffee and U cents a pound ami 10 per cent ad valorem on roast and ground coffco and 10 tier cent on tea , these duties being Imitated from the Cana dian tariff. A recess was then taken till 8 p. m. At the evening session Mr. Gibson moved a substltuto for the sugar schedule paragraphs In the existing law , imposing duties on sugar. Mr , Dolpti concluded his speech against any reciprocity with Canada in the matter of coal , timber or agricultural products. Mr. Vnnco argued In support of the amend ment offered by him , reducing the rates of duty on nil manufactures of steel and Iron , nil woolen and cotton goods , earthen glassware and earthenware and allmaterlalsuscd for fer tilizers , when such goods uro purchased abroad by any citizen of the United States by the exchange of American farm products or by the proceeds of the sale of such products. IIo said there would bo a surplus this year of 5,000,000 bales of cotton , 100,003,000 bush els of wheat and 500,000,000 bushels of corn. What was to bo done with all that surplus if the foreign market was to bo closed ) And yet the American farmer had been told by the venerable senator from Vermont ( Mor- rlll ) that we produced too much and that the remedy was to limit the production , und he had been told by a senator from Connecticut ( Hawley ) that If a high wall was maintained around the United States for fifty years the American farmer would como out afterwards rich and happy. The senate ut 10 p. in. adjourned until to morrow. In the HOIINO. WAHIIISOTOV , Sept. 2. Intho house today Mr. Lacey of Iowa called up and the house proceeded to consider the Cluyton-Brcclton- ridge election case. Mr. Cooper of Ohio opened the debate. IIo described the state of affairs loading up to the nomination of Clayton aad suld'U wast ho opinion of the majority that the murder grew out of the political method * adopted in that country. In that view the majority echoed the almost universal sentiment of nil sec- > tlons. Hallot-box stealing and stufllnp , In timidation and munlor naturally followed each other. In conclusion ho passed n high encomium on the people and state of Arkan sas , contending that If the election methods in vogue in that state wcro nb.uuloncd , the commonwealth would soon bo allvo with In dustry and manufactures. Mr. Wilson of Missouri Joined with the gentleman from Ohio In his panegyric upon the people of Arkansas , but ho regretted that the gentleman only today discovered how good the people of Arkansas wcro. If ho had discovered the fact sooner ho could never have signed the majority report. The Insti gator of this Investigation was Powell Clay ton , but Powell Clayton was the dead man's ' brother , and while ho would say to Powell Clayton In the hmguaijo of the Almighty , "Veugeanco is mine , I will repay. " ho could not forgot the fact that if Powell Clayton could divest himself of the baneful Inlluenco of "Poker , Tack"McCluroho would bo himself again nnd would not pursue Hreeklnridgo from n uiotlvo of vengeance. The case then went over until tomorrow ami Mr. Connor took the lloor In a statement relative to the appropriations made by this session of congress. Mr. Sawyer , a member of the appropria tions committee , reviewed the financial situa tion from a democratic standpoint. A bill was passed declaring Hock Island a port of entry.
