the subject is so liesot with difficulties that the outcome of the negotiations is extremely doubtful. The reciprocity ‘‘arrangement,” as was styled the compact negotiated with Spain by Secretary Blaine to distinguish it from former treaties, has fallen through since the new tariff' act went into operation. It was not necessary for either government to “denounoe” or serve notice on its termination, for this was done by the act. Each government contents itself with a notice to its revenue collectors that new duties imposed by the tariff' act must be collected on all imports regardless of previous arrangements, and in the case of Spain that the old rates of duties must lie exacted on imports from the
United States.

Are Captured —Fngineer Shot Company (liven Information by a Spy. New York, Sept. 19.—Two men who had not a moment’s warning of t heir impending fate were shot down in this city yesterday. Both victims will probably die and the circumstances surrounding each shooting arc similar in many respects.

Two men, said to be exconvicts, were arrested and locked up, charged with the shooting. They are William Clarkson and Thomas Meehan. The other victim is Michael Walsh, a homeless man, who is lying in Gouveneur hospital, with a hole in his hack between the shoulder blades. The shooting occurred in Monroe street near Pike and, as in the case of Seery, the shooting was done by one of two men who have not yet been caught. They were engaged at the time in rifling the pockets of a drunken man named Dailey. Whether Welsh interferred is not known, but it is evident from the location of his wound which is believed to be fatal, that he turned to flee when he
was shot down.
