STRAWBERRIES FREE OP DUIY.
Reartsettitivt Thoasaa Says Recclprtclty
With Canada Wield bt Desirable.
TBpeaktnr to U question ofCabaa
reciprocity la Congress Tuesday, Bep-
resents tire Thomas, of North Caro
lina, aald la behalf of hla bill provid-
ng for the abipment of atra w berries
ato Canada free of duty :
'At the opening of this aeeaion of
Congress, I Introduced the bill which
hold In my hand, ana wnien pro-
ride for Ue negotiation of a reci
procity treaty with Ue Domlaion of
Canada ia general, , ana espeaauy
ith a Tiew to the abolition or mrxu-
fleatlon of the 7i tariff items Ua cus
toms tariff ot Canada which imposed
prohibitory tax upon American
straw berries and oUer berries of 3
cents per pound, weight of Ue pack
age being included ia Ue weight for
duty.
i "If. as I hops Uia treaty la to be a
step la Ue direction not only of a
modification of the Dlngiey taruz
rate and a breaking down of Ue high
tariff walla and freer trade relatione,
wiU other countries, with the utmost
earnestness I insist no greater benefit
eoald be conferred to open up new
market to the American people than
the negotiation of a treaty of reciproc
ity with Great Britain aa to me i
minion of Canada. Bat especially
would such treaty benefit toe people
of Eastern North Carolina aad Ua dis
trict which 1 have the honor to repre
sent, and, also, I am lmf ormed, other
sections of this country. If thla Item
f Ue Canadian customs tariff should
be abolished or modified It would
mean thoosanda or aoiiara in me
Docket of mr own constituents and
th opening up of new markets

MR. HENRY WALTERS TALKS.
Receipts of Railroads Will Pill Off ltd
Expenses Will be Reduced.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Mr. Henry Walters, chairman of
the Board of Directors of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway, which met in
tbia city yesterday, predicts a falling
off in gross receipts by all rallroada
after January 1st. "But that falling
off will be met by. a curtailment of
expenses," said Mr. Walters. "The
result will be that the net receipts will
be about the same. The Atlantic
Coast Line la now doing a good busi
ness." - Speaking of the new financial ar
rangements of the Seaboard Air Line,
whereby Messrs. Kyan, isiair ana
others will lend the company suffi
cient money for its immediate
needs, Mr. Walters characterized it at
rery important . tmng. "xne en
trance of new lntereats into the (sea
board Air Line." aaid he, "Insures
stability for a long time to come. Of
course, I do not know how the new
arrangement will affect Mr. Williama'
connection with the road. His em
barrassment naturally unsettled the
Seaboard."
Mr. Walters emohaticallv denied
that the Byan-Blalr Ssaboard deal it 1b
the Interest of the BouthernBailway, of
J. P. Morgan or of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway. "Mr. Williami has
always- been friendly to the Coast
ljlne," said he, "ana there wui oe no
chance in our relations. Mr. Ryan
and Blair & Company are not alone in
the deal, but I am not at liberty to teu
who the others are. i fcnow tnem au,
and they are good people." .
