New York. Jan 27. John Be La Poer Beresford, Lord Decies. peer of Great Britain, ard Miss Vivien Gculd, daughter of George J Gould. who is 26 years his junior, wer.‘ to city hall and obtained a license to he married. The wedding will take place in St. Banhloiomew s churcn Tuesday, Feb 7. Miss Gould and her fiance drove to city hall in one of Mr. Gould’s limousines and were accompanied by one of Mr Gould's lawyers They were anxious tc avoid curious eyes, and as the hoard of estimate was meeting at tie time, attention was drawn from r hem. Miss trSfrid gave her full name as Helen Vivien Gculd. her age 18. her home No. 857 Sixth avenue, her father. George J Gould, her mother, Edith Kingdon and her birthplace this city. Lord Decies gave his age as 44 — this is two years under George Gould’s age—his father's name, William Francis Lord Decies; his mother, Catherine Dent, his home. Sefton Park, England, and his birthplace, Dublin. In answer to the question as to number of previous marriages he wrote “Nil” in the application. The varied and expensive nature of the gifts to be received by the noble bridegroom and his American bride, has become a topic of conversation in London drawing rooms. Of course, there is the marriage settlement from Mr. Gould which has already been made. Then in addition the bride’s father will make the future Lady Decies gifts of splendid jewels that will make her one of the most envied of the London set. The nobility of England, among which Lord Decies has a high standing, is also preparing to receive the newly married pair with gifts of a nature to assure the bride a lasting welcome to English soil and to the ranks of the nobility.

GENERAL NEWS,

The bloody street riots which occurred in Hankow, China, necessitated foreign intervention and resulted in the killing of eight Chinese and the injury of many others. The British police in the foreign settlement found a coolie dying in the street and attempted to take him to the police station, but- he died on the way. This caused a report to spread that the po lice bad killed the man, and a large number of Chinese attacked the police. The disturbance, became dangerous and the British and German gunboats in the Yang Tse Kiang landed parties of marines and sailors, and the volunteers were called to arms. The mob was uot overpowered for some time. There was severe fighting. Several foreigners and sailors were wounded in the fighting. Two thousand troops, sent by the viceroy of New CTrwang, have arrived here to restore order.

Three years after his original indictment, and nearly two years after his conviction and sentence to fourteen years in San Quentin for bribery, Abe Rues, cnee the all powerful political boss of Frisco, secured a rehearing of his case from the supreme court The effect of the ruling is. to place Rues in the same position he occupied when he appealed two years ago from the sentence o! the superior court and gives him an indefinite extension o the liberty he has enjoyed on bail The action of the appellate court Nov 23 in denying Reef’s appeal is se; aside by the highest court, and the whole case Is reopened. Holding that U. S. Senator Lorimer of Illinois had no knowledge of bribery in connection with his election 4s senator from tha; state, denying that his seat was bought, but finding that if even the minority report citing ten tainted legislative votes cast for Mr. Lorimer as currupt was true, Lorimer still was elected by one majority. Senator Gamble of North Dakota, a signer of the majority report of the senate committee on privileges and elections which vindicated Mr. Lorimer, addressed the senate The speech was the ablest defense of Mr. Lorimer yet presented. Fire which originated in the servan*s’ quarters in the Traders’ hotel at Clarksburg, W. Va., swept a part of the business district, inflicting a pecuniary loss of $250,000, while it is es timated two died in the ruins. The fire spread from the Traders’ hotel to the Grand Opera house. It was destroyed with the effects of “The Told in the Hills” company. The Herald Printing company's plant, the D. M. Ogden Drygoods store, Whose loss is $30,00|), Palace Furniture company loss, $30,100. and other smaller structures, whose loss will total $250,000. At Pittsburg, Pa., by dropping an inflated inner tube of an automobile tire down a well, Margaret Saylor, eighteen years old, saved the life of John Wagner, who had fallen in and was drowning. The well is located ir the rear of the Saylor girl’s home. Wagner’s plight was discovered by Miss Saylor. Observing an inflated automobile tube she grasped it and dropped it to Wagner, who, almost exhausted from two hours’ battle for life, used it as a life preserver until rescued by the police, who were called to : 4h,e scene. The retiring treasurer of North Dakota, G. Luther Bickford, was arrested on a warrant charging him with the misapplication of $74,000. He was taken into custody as he came downstairs from the senate balcony following a consultation with his friends. Bickford recently was accused of placing state funds in banks that did not furnish sufficient guarantee in the form of bonds, and a few days ago, the bouse adopted a resolution calling for an investigation -of the affairs of the state treasurer. Representative Denby will be appointed a member of the commission of six created in the treaty betw'een the United States and Canada for the settlement of disputes in connection with the joint use of the boundary waters between the two countries. -The convention provides that the commission shall consist of three American and three Canadian members. Mr. Denby, who was defeated for re-election last November, is the only American commissioner chosen so far. The Miller & Donohue Lumber company oL South Bend, Ind., one of the largest in northern Indiana, has failed for $250,000, and is now insolvent, according to a petition filed by the Fullerton-Powell Hardwood Lufnber company, asking for a receiver. The Miller & Donohue company failure follows the failure of the Bogardus Land and Timber company of Ford county, Illinois, the paper of'which it had indorsed to the extent of approximately $117,000. Wearing a ring given him by the late Chief Geronimo and covered all over the front of his red sweater with bronze and silver medals of many sorts, Joe F. Mikulec, an Austrian, who has passed the last thirteen years of his life walking around the world, called at the White House to see Pres ident Taft. He desired a letter from the president to paste in the book he carries with him and which contains the signature of every governor in the United States. Attorney - General Kuhn at Lansing,, Mich., has handed down an opinion that legislative employes cannot draw pay for Sundays—an opinion vFhichi it is said, will cut the expenses of the legislative session at least $lO,000 and many additional thousands if the supreme court holds that the legislators and employes are entitled to cry ri!y On working days.

CONGRESS GETS CANADIAN TREATY

Taft Submits Message With Request for Enactment. TREATY BASED ON BROAO UNES Free List Includes Food Commodities, Dairy Products, Lumber, Wood Pulp and RawQ Material — Other Decreases.

Washington, Jan' 27.—The administration’s reciprocity agreement with Canada was submitted to congress with a special message from the presi dent urging its prompt enactment into law. The agreement was presented concurrently to the Dominion parliament in Ottawa and within a few days a bill will be introduced in the legis lative bodies of both governments designed to make the terms of the agreement effective. - On the basis of dollars and ceDts Canada seems to have a little the better of the agreement. How ever, President Taft points out in bis message that the benefits to the United States cannot Le computed in this way. The agreement was received with mingled emotions in the house ard senate and its fate at this time is un certain. The New Englanders are disappointed with the agreement and the greatest danger of opposition seems to be from that quarter. Senators Lodge and Crane of Massachusetts, decline to comment upor. the agreement, hut Representative Gardner, Senator Lodge’s son-in-law, came out with a statement against the agreement President Taft’s message in part follows : “The guiding motive in seeking adjustment of trade relations between two countries sd situated typograpbi cally, would be to give play to productive forces as far as practicable, regardless of political boundaries. While equivalency should Jbe sought in an arrangement of this character, an exact balance of financial gain is neither imperative nor attainable. No yard stick can measure the benefit to the two peoples of this freer commercial intercourse, and no trade agreement could be judged wholly by custom house statistics. “We have so increased in population and in our consumption*cf food products and other necessities of life, hitherto supplied largely from our own country, that unless we materially in crease our production, we can See in the future a change in our economicposition from that of a country selling to the world for food and.natural prod ucts of the farm and forest, to one consuming and importing them. “The Dominion has greatly prospered. It has an active, aggressive and intelligent people. They are coming to the parting of ways. They must soon decide whether they are to regard themselves as isolated permanently from cur markets by a perpetual wall, or whether we are to be comercia! friends If we give them reason to take the former view, cab we complain if they adopt methods denying access to certain of their natural resources except upon conditions unfavorable to us. Should we not now, therefore, before their policy has become too crystalized and fixed for change, meet them in a spirit of real concession,* facilitate commerce between two countries and thus increase the natural resources available to our people? “In the reciprocal trade agreement, numerous additions are made to the free list. These include not only food commodics, such as cattle, fish, wheat and other grains, fresh vegetables, fruits and dairy products, but also rough lumber, wood pulp and raw materials useful to our own industries. Free lumber we ought to have By giving our people access to Canadian forests, we shall reduce the consumption of our own which, in the hands of comparatively few owners now, have a value that requires the enlargement of our available timber resources.

“Natural, and especially food, products being placed oiH the free list, ;h? logical development of a policy of reciprocity in rates on secondary food products or foodstuffs partly manufactured is where they cannot also be entirely exempted from duty to lower me duties in accordance with the exemption of the raw material from duty This has been followed in the agreement which has been negotiated. As an example,'wheat is made free and the rate on flour is equalized on a lower basis In the same way ljve animals made free the duties on fresh meatjs and on secondary meat products end on’canned meats are substantially lowered. Fresh fruits and vegetables being placed on the free list, the duties on canned goods of these classes are reduced. “This has made it difficult to extend the principle of reciprocity to pany manufactured commodities, but after much negotiation, we have succeeded in doing so in various and important measures. “My purpose in making a reciprocal trade agreement with Canada has been not only to obtain one which would be mutually advantageous to both countries, but one which also wouuj be truly national in iis scope as applied to our own country and would be of benefit to all sections. “The entire foreign trade of Canada in the last fiscal year, 1910, was $655,000,000. The imports were $376,000,000 and of this amount the United States contributed more than $223,000,-

000 The reduction in the duties imposed by Canada, will largely increase this amount and give us even a larger share of her market than we now enjoy, great as that is. “This trade agreement if entered into will cement the friendly relations with the Dominion which have resulted from the satisfactory settlement of the controversies that have lasted for a century and further promote good feeling between a kindred peoples. It will extend the market for numerous products of the United States among the inhabitants of a prosperous neighboring country with an increasing population and an increasing purchasing power. It will deepen and widen the sources of food supplies in contingucus territory and will facilitate the movement and distribution of these food stuffs. “Since becoming a nation Carada has been our good neighbor, immedi ately contiguous access to a wide con tinent without artificial natural bar rier except navigable waters used in common “She has cost us nothing in the way of preparations for defense against her possible assault and she never will. She has sought to agree with us when differences have disturbed our rela tions She shares with us common traditions and aspirations. I feel 1 have correctly interpreted the wish of the American people by expressing in the arrangements now submitted tc congress for its approval their desire for a more intimate and cordial rela tionship with Canada. I, therefore, earnestly hope that the measure will be promptly enacted into law. “WM. H TAFT, “The White House. Jan 26, 1911.’ Mr. W. S. Fielding, Canadian Minister of Finance, said on the subject of pulp wood, in submitting the treaty to the Canadian parliament: “Our American friends were anxious for some change in relation to paper and pulp. We though respecting certain grades of pulp and paper, mechanically ground pulp, chemical pulp news printpaper and common pasteboard and cheaper articles of paper other than newsprint and comriion paper of a limited value of 4 cents a pound, we could compete with our American friends and that it was desirable that we should have free trade in them. As to paper of a more advanced grade we did not take this into negotiations.”

Mathewson’s record in the eleven years he has drawn a salary from John, T. Brush is 236 victories and 118 defeats, a percentage of .690. As his percentage last year was .743 it may be. seen that “Big Six” is not going back to any extent.
