Mr. Uhl to Señor Zeballos.
Washington , February 3, 1894 .
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 30th ultimo, informing me that in consideration of the recommendation of the Committee of Ways and Means of the House of Representatives that wools be placed upon the list of articles to be admitted into the United States free of duty, the Argentine Congress has, in the tariff law for 1894, included crude petroleum in the list of articles to be admitted free into the Argentine Republic, and that it is expected that the Argentine. Congress will also exempt from the payment of duties lumber, lubricating and fuel oils, and refined petroleum from the United States.
It has given me pleasure to bring this information to the attention of the Committee on Finance of the Senate and that of Ways and Means of the House of Representatives.
Accept, etc.,
Acting Secretary.
