An Attempt at Consolidation at Mantl Re. suits tn t'onfuainn. Manti, Utah, F'eb. 0. Special to The Times. The political differences iu this city have assumed such enor-mous proportion as to excite even the staid old men, who have heretofore re-mained at home and let them tight it out. When the citizens' faction of the peoples' party had nominated a full ticket and a majority of the voters eecmed to tie drifting toward the new order of things, the old liners, becom-ing alarmed, appealed to the stake president, Canute Peterson, for coun-sel. He and his counsellors, lleury Heal and J. li. Maihen came here anil called a private con-vention of the leaders of lioth parties. The presidency then exhorted them to uuity of action and after much talk aud eotiMilcrable coun-sel the two parties agreed to call an-other convention and submit the ipies-lio-of having hut one ticket, to a voice of the people A large mass meeting was held. J ..B. Maihen stated the ob-ject of tho meeting by reading the notice signed by uearly all the candi-dates. Then the excitement rose to a high pitch. Men arose to speak iu every direction. The chair called for order and was answered by nime at-tempts at speakirtg. General confusion reigned until somo one moved for an adjournment. The motion prevailed and the crowd dispersed without effect-ing an organization. The two tickets will remain iu the field aud the race will be close. plements and machinery, including sta-tionary and portable engines, and all machinery for manufacturing and in-dustrial purposes, except sewing ma-chines; instruments and books for the arts and sciences; railway construction material and equipment. The govern-ment of brazil has also further author-ized the admission, with a reduction of 25 per cent of the existing tariff duty in Brazil, of the following named articles, produced or manufactured in the United Mates: Lard and substitutes therefor; bacon, hams, butter and cheese; canned aud preserved meat;, fish, fruit aud vegetables; manufactures of cotton, in-cluding cotton clothing, manufactures of iron and steel, single or mixed, not included in the free schedule; leather and manufactures thereof, except boots nnd shoes; lumber, and manufactures of wood, including cooperage; furniture of all kinds; wagons, carts and carriages; manufactures of rubber. Some idea of tho far reaching import-ance of this reciprocal agreement may be gathered from estimates which have been made of the Increased trade which will result. At present the United States pays to Brazil annually about (ir,ooi),oo'o while it only receives 000.000 in return. It is expected that in three years Brazil will pay the United States, in return for our manufacturer and products, at least I'.'.y 000, 000, which amout will be distributed through every section of tho country. Under the provisions of the agree-ment Brazil reduces her import charges upon American pioducts of the farm, factory and mine to the extent of about $'(,0(W),'ooo annually. The present an-nual importation of sugar from lirazil is about 12.").0iK tons and it is believed that under the stimulus which this reci-procity will give, she will this year in-crease her sugar shipments to iOO.OOO tons, next year to 500.001) tons and that in live years Brazil will be able to fur-nish all the sugar required in the United States. THE TREATY WITH BRAZIL. Importance of Our New R3latlons With the , Young Republic. Washington, Fob. fi. The president has issued his proclamation iu regard to the reciprocity treaty with Bra.il which was noted in last evening's Times. In it he sets forth that the Bra-zilian minister has communicated to the secretary of state the fact that in due reciprocity and for the consideration of admission into thel'tiited States free of all duly of the articles enumerated in section 3 of the tariff act, to-w- sugars, molasses, coffee and hides, the govern-ment of Brazil has, by logal enactment, authorized the admission from and af-ter April 1, lH0l, '"to all the established ports of entry of Bra.il, free of duty, the merchandise named, as follows, provided such be the product and man- - i ufacturc of the United States: wheat, wheat Hour, corn or maize, and Iho j manufactures thereof, including corn nieal and starch, rye, rye Hour, buck- - wheat, buckwheat flour, barely, pota- - I. toes, beans, . !. hay, oats; pork, salted, including pickled pork and ' bacon, except hiun;lish. salted, dried or pickled; cotton-see- d oil; coal, anthra- - I cite and bituminous; resin, tar. pitch j, and turpentine; agricultural tod-s- , im- - ;I .

"For some time past, as I am creditably informed, I'resideut Diaz has been calling the governors of the different sta'es to the capital and conferring with them. The procedure has been unusual and much comment was excited. The fact is. President Diaz leaves shortly for Franco, where he will remain somo mouths. The fact of his intended departure is known to only a very few persons, And they ot the highest circles. "The country is not so quiet ai it should be. The Sandoval revolution of last summer demonstrated that the in surrectionary spirit still exists. Tha departure of the president is almost certain to be followed by trouble in one place or another, aud for this reason, the govornors have been iu consulta tinn with him. Diaz holds the republic with an iron grasp, but when he is iu Kuropo it will necessarily be relaxed. It is certain, however, that any rebellion will be speedily crushed. WASHIX6T0K.

In the senate today Paddock presented resolutions from the Nebraska house of representa-tives agaiust tho passage of the Conger lard bill for the reason that it would in-flict great losses on the cattle industry of Nebraska ami in favor of the passage of the I'addock pure food bill. The conference report on the bill pro-viding an additional associate justice of the supreme court of Arizona, was agreed to. The naval appropriation bill was re-ported with sundry amendments and Halo gave notice that he would ask the senate to take it up tomorrow or Mon-day. Ilawley offered a resolution, which was agree 1 to, calling on the president for the correspondence in reference to the conduct of the senior naval ollicer of tho President on the occasion of the arrest and killing of General Barruudia aud the action of the navy department. Morgan addressed tho senate in sup-port of the bill reported from the com-mittee on foreign relations in aid of the construction of the Nicaragua mari-time cunal. HOI SE. In tho house, McKiuley asked unani-mous consent for the present consider-ation of the bill providing that nothing in the tariff net shall be held to repeal or impair the reciprocity treaty with A the IUwailun islands. ' . , Pland thought the bill aheuld be coti" siderod in committee of the whole, and McKinley moved that the house go into ' " " "committee for that purpose," but with-drew his action when he found it was impossible to limit the time for debate. The speaker laid before tho house the senate bill amending the land forfeiture act of September '".), 1hs)0, so that the period within which settlers, purchas-ers aud others under the provisions of said act may make application to pur-chase lands forfeited thereby when such period begins run from the passage of the act, shall begin to run from the date os the promulgation by the commis-sioner of the general land office of the instructions to officers of the local land offices for their direction in the dispo-sition of said lands. Tho bill passed w ith verbal amendments. The senate bill as passeil referring to the court of claims the claim of ad-ministratrix of George W.

The committee on poslollices and post roads reported the postollice bill and it was placed on the c:nenil:ir. The hous then went into committee of the whole d'ayson of Illinois in the chain on the sundry civil service appro-priation bill. The pending question was on tho de-cision of the chair upon the point of or-der raised by Dingley, against Bland's free coinage amendment. There was no debate and the speaker immediately proceeded to deliver his decision, sus-taining the point of order. Miami ap-pealed from the decision but the chair was sustained. The following democrats voted in the affirmative: Andrew. Mutchlcr, Vanx, Apinola, Dunphy, Wiley and Clancy. The following republicans voted in the negative: Carter, Townsend, of Colo-rado, Lind, Martiney, Turner, of Kan-sas, Kelley, Maws, Connell, Herman, Sweet and Clark of Wyoming. When the chair announced the vote 134 to 127 the republican side burst into applause. Dockcry of Missouri, moved to strike out the appropriation ot $20,000 for and insert words "aud so much as may he necessary to meet the ex-penses of such is hereby ap-propriated out of tho silver protit fund." Adopted. WMMt f The Outlook for the Western Trallie Association Hot om-in- tf Very Dubious. The Santa Fe. it is Alleged, Blocks the Provisions for a Competi-tive Traffic. THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE. The Arbitrators Can do Nothing iu the Face of Such a State of A Hairs. In Passenger Affairs the Satr.e Road is Also Said to Have Violated Its Pledges. WHAT WILL BE PROBABLE RESULT The Presidents Association will he llrokrn nit the Trsltlc Association Never Tut In Operation, Chioaoo, Feb. 6. The prospect of the successful launching of the Western trallie association is growing more and more dubious. Men who have believed it would be pushed to a successful issue now say they do not see how the scheme can be carried out in view of the obstacles beiug thrown in its way. The Santa F'e has practically blocked the provision for a competitive trallie, the most important feature of the plau, by refusing to make up the deficiency due the other lines by diverting freight to them at Kansas City as ordered by the arbitrators of the tonnage pool. The Santa Fe refuses on the ground that it is entitled to more than 40 per cent, of the total traffic of the south-western .Missouri river points and has been getting less than 30. Chairman Walker says tho arbitrators can do nothing in the face of such a state of affairs and acknowledges that the agreement has been broken. Iu passenger affairs the inta Fe has also wilfully violated ;ts pledges by dis-turbing the rates besween St. Louis and Chicago in connection with the Jack-sonville Southeastern. Chairman Fin-le- y has issued a circular that the Santa Fe must no longer honor the tickets of the Jacksonville Southeastern, but it is believed the order will not be obeyed. A result will probably be the Santa F'e' s withdrawal from the Western pas-senger association, in which case it can-not be a member of the president's as-sociation, nnd it is freely predicted that unless the Santa Fe changes its policy the Western traffic association will never be put in operation. FLOODS AND FAMINE IN CHINA. Terrlltte utTerln Among the loor of the Celestial r.mplre San FiiAM'tsro, Feb. 0. A letter from Shanghai gives the details of the terrible floods and famine which pre-vailed reccutly in tho interior districts of Northern China. Tho Governor-General- , Li lling Chang, reports the people of Senium suffered terribly by the Hood which de-stroyed temples, bridges and city walls in no less than ten districts. In Wen Chaun the loss of life will reach fully one thousand. Imedintely following tho floods nt l'ei Chang a lire broke out and de-stroyed thirty-riv- e houses. In three other places houses were burned to the number of '.'00. The suffering among the poor was something terrible. The roads every-where are difficult of passage and crowds of starving wretches are on their way to Shanghai, and how to deal with them w ill be a difficult problem. Corn and millet are selling at the fair along the great road to i'ao Tin aud San Fi at exactly double the price of one year ago. THE SHADOW , OF DEATH. Tha Social Reason Practically Knded br Wlnilom's Nu.hUn Keath. Washington, Feb. fl. Special to TliK Timks. The sudden death of Secretary Windom has practically put au end to the social season in Wash-ington. All the social affairs that had been arranged to take place in the near future have been indefinitely postpon-ed, aud although a few receptions of minor magnitude will be held before society departs for the summer resorts, ttie lestivities that generally prevail at this season will not be resumed. The dinner which Secretary and Mrs. Noble was to have given to the President and Mrs. Harrison today has been pest-poue-and tho invitations withdraw n. Another grand entertainment which was projected for this evening and which hail set society agog, was the ball by the Chinese embassador, but this too had to be abandoned on ac-count of the death of l'riuee Chum, father of the emperor. The Chinese legation now goes into mourning for one hundred days and until the expira-tion of that period no thought of indulg-ing in festivities can bo entertained. THE DYNAMITE WENT DOWN. The Collision nt Two Stnainsrs In the lllvnr Mersey. Livkki'ooi., Feb. fl. What might have proved a terrible disaster occurred tpday, but fortunately the only damage done was the sinking of a steamer. The llritish steamer Knutsford collided in the Kiver Mersey with the steamer Drumheailrie, injuring the latter vessel so that she soon sank. What added to the dangerous circumstances of the col-lision was the fact that the Drumheail-rie, had on board a cargo of dynamite. THE COINAOK COMMITTER. Miami's Motion to Limit the Hearings Defeated. Washington, Feb. 0. The chairman this morning laid before the house coin-age committee a request from the cham-ber of commerce of New York for a hearing on the silver bill next Thurs-day. Tho request was granted. A vote was then taken on tho motion pending yesterday to strike out that part of Inland's resolution directing the hear-ings to close Thursday next. It resulted adversely to Miami and the same fate awaited the amendments to fix F riday aud Saturday of noxt week. The mo-tion to hold evening sessions on Tues-day, Wednesday and Thursday of each week was then carried. Williams of Illinois made a motion that the chair-man ask unanimous consent from the house for permission to sit during tho session of the house; carried. Mefore adjournment a protest against further silver legislation signed by 7! members of the Chicago board of trade was pre-sented. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

THE FOKSVrll CASE. The Secretary of Wr Finds It a Delicate SuhJ ct to Handle. Washington, Feb. 0. Tho secretary of war is finding the Forsyth case an exceedingly delicate and knotty prob-lem to deal with. He is embarrassed on one side by the indorsement of Gen. Miles, which makes it incumbent on the secretary to either institute further pro-ceedings against Forsyth or make n public acknowledgement of disapproval of Miles' course in suspending Col. F'orsyth and at the same time run the risk of offending the humanitarians who have looked upon the killing of women and ch.Mpon as unjustitialile murder.
