No. 43.]

Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 63, of October 5, 1894, giving the details of your conference on the 2d and 3d of that month, with the Argentine ministers of foreign affairs and of hacienda, with regard to the new tariff of that country; also of your No. 64, of October 8, 1894, transmitting a copy of the President’s message in regard thereto.

Your efforts to secure amendments in the proposed bill, which, if adopted, would result to the advantage of the United States are warmly commended.

I am, sir, etc.,

Edwin F. Uhl,
Acting Secretary.
