1T is NO BAR.

Inc "Most Favored Nation" Clause in
EXISTING Treaties of Commerce No Bar
TO the Negotiation of Treaty of Re-
ciprocity with Spain, According to the
POSITION Held by the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-In regard to
newspaper dispatches from London as
sertlng that Spain can not negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with the United
States for the Cuban trade without vio-
latlng the favored nation clause in
her existing treaties with other nations,
1t is said at the Department of State
that this point was discussed and finally
decided in 1884 when Minister Foster
negotiated a reciprocity treaty on TIE
same basis that is now proposed, and is
now revived, not by Spain, it is stated,
but by the commercial interests of
Great Britain, for an obvious purpose.
The State Department officials say
that the United States also has the
favored nation" clause in most of her
commercial treaties, but this will not
embarrass the Government in the
negotiation of reciprocity treaties or ar
rangements with other nations, be-
OduoC tuc D0pdELLuOuJ VI ObdJ0 LIDS uul-
formly held, from the time of Mr.. JEFF
ferson as Secretary of State to Mr..
Blaine, that the favored nation"
clause only applies where privileges
are granted freely and without con-
sideration; but wherever special con-
sideration is made the condition of a
favor granted or received the favored
nation clause does not apply.
This Interpretation has been recently
sustained by the Supreme Court of tho
United States in its opinion in the case
Of Bartram vs. Robertson. This case
arose under the Hawaiian Reciprocity
treaty. 1t was claimed that sugar and
molasses imported from the Island of
St Croix, colony of Denmark, should
be admitted free of duty under the fav-
ored nation clause of treaty between
the United States and Denmark, be-
cause like articles were admitted from
the Hawaiian Islands. The Supreme
Court rejected the claim, stating that
the treaty with Denmark does not
bind the United States to extend to that
country, without compensation, prlvi-
leges which they have conceded to the
Hawaiian Islands in exch ange for valu-
able concessions"

was necessary to exclude Jews, as for

RECIPROCITY.

An Amount of Trade that Might be Built
Up, Under Favorable Conditions, Be
tween the United States and Our Mexi-
Surplus Products.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is - Secretary
Blaine has received letter from
Carlos Crist, of the Agricultural Com
pany of Mexico, stating that the treaty
of reciprocity between the United
States and the Sandwich Islands has
built up trade which last year
amounted to $16, $50, 900. Mr.. Crist
says that he does not know why a
reciprocity treaty such as that negoti-
ated for Mexico and the United States
by Messrs. Romero and Grant would not
produce equal, or even greater results,
and if so, the trade between
Mexico, and the United States if in
creased in the same proportion as that
of the Sandwich Islands, might in short
time amount to two thousand millions of
dollars year. The Mexicans, he says,
now purchase every species of commod-
ity prod uced in the United States.
They can not purchase in large quanti-
ties, because they have no means of
paying Mr.. Crist states that he has
documents which would amply prove
that all the North American products
find good market in Mexico

THE ALIEN LABOR LAW.

Cases Arise In Which the Enforcement of
the Strict Letter of the Law would
Seem to be Straining the Point Too
Fine.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. The Treasury
Department finds it very difficult to en-
force the law in regard to the importa-
ton of alien laborers into the United
States. A few days ago the department
was informed that the Canadian Pacific
railroad had imported number OF la
borers into this country from Canada to
repair it's road-bed, which for distance
of six miles runs through the State Of
Vermont-entering at Richfield.
Before the Treasury Department could
act the laborers, who are employed on
the Canadian Pacific road, had COM
pleted their work and returned to Can
ada.
A similar case along the line of the
same road arose a short time since,
where valuable man employed by the
road and who lived in the United States
died. His place was filled by Cana
dian, an old railroader, familiar with
the duties Of the position. In this in
stance, however, the charge was made
that he came to this country under con-
tract and the Canadian Pacific road
management filed his place with an
American, as his duties required him
to live in the United States.
In the matter of the laborers, the
Treasury Department did not prosecute,
thinking it would be straining the law
in technical sense to do so.

Great Search to Recover the Missing Nom

"Yoa wouldn't think that an elephant
could get lost IN the United States,
would you?" asked Agent McCadden OF
the Forepaugh show.
"Weu, one did go astray," he contin-
ued, 'and we had mighty hard work to
find it Adam Forepaugh had habit
Of letting out his surplus animals to
smaller shows, and when he died his
executors had queer time tracing up
his assets and making good the delivery
of animals to the firm to which he sold
the show.
After considerable trouble all the
animals were accounted for but one
trick elephant named Empress, Of whom
the executors could get no trace. re-
ceived letter from them one day with
special commission to hunt up the
missing animal
Empress was worth 81, 900 at a low
estimate, and was really Of much more
value to show which understood we'll
how to exhibit her and make use of her
tricks After careful search through
the contracts it was ascertained that
Empress had been let to small show
which started on a Western tour. With
this clew l traced the show through the
West and back toward the East until it
reached spot in the wilds Of West Vir-
ginia.
There it seemed suddenly to sink
out of sight, and l was at loss to know
whether the animals were roaming over
the hills and mountains, or drowned in
the Ohio river.
Investigation revealed, however,
that the undulat ng country had been
too much for the show. The horses had
become exhausted by climbing steep
hills, fording streams, and dragging
heavy wagons over soft roads. The
proprietor was unable to keep up with
his advertised dates, and his revenue
being cut off, the show busted.
'Then it was found by inquiry in the
sparse settlements that Empress had
been driven to the Ohio river and
shipped up stream to Pittsburgh. The
elephant consumed about $40 worth Of
food daily, and she was rapidly making
her temporary keeper poorer. But at
Pittsburgh he pulled together all his
resources and established w-priced
entertainment at East Liberty, where
the big beast was made to do good SER
vice. There she was recently found,
gaunt and lean. She will soon be turned
over to Mr.. Forepaugh's successors, who
| will see that her voracious appetite is
appeaSed. "-Philadelphi News.

ON BOARD THE CHICAGO.
Description of an Early Morning Scene on

Rufus f. Zogbaum, in Scribners,
writes entertainingly Of Uncle Sans
Blue-Jackets. He thus describes the
wakingup Of the crew of the Chicago:
''Bos'n's mate there! Call all hands!
Call in the deck lookouts! Lay aloft the
lookout to the masthead" the orders fol-
low in rapid succession. Turn Off the
spar-deck circuitI' and the great red
ard green lights on the port and star
board sides of the bridge and the light
at the masthead are extinguished by
the touch Of button in the dynamo
room" below, while sailor goes trip
ping up aloft" to the foretop-sail yard,
simultaneously with long-drawn, shrill
whistle of the boatswains pipe, echoed
on the gun-deck by others, and the
hoarse cry of the boatswain's mates
calling: "A-a-ll ha-a-nds! Up all ham
mocks" The great ship is waking up,
and out of the matches the men como
tumbling one after the other-sailor-
men, apprentice boys, firemen, marines,
cooks and "all hands" with ham
mock neatly rolled ready to be placed in
the nettings in the bulwarks Brawny,
bare-chested, bare-footed fellows, most
of them; regardless of the cold wind
blowing and the wet decks, they run
nimbly to their appointed stations, some
clambering up and opening the nettings,
while the others pitch their hammocks in
and stow them away and out of sight
for the day. AS we lean over the rail
now and look down the scene Is an ami
mated one. The deck forward is swarm
ing with men, and Jackie" is making
his morning toilet and preparing for
breakfast and the days routine. See
that gigantic young coxswain yonder as
he souses his well-soaped neck and face
into the cold water in the bucket before
him, spluttering and blowing away like
a grampus, then rubbing and pol .shing
his muscular, sunburned neck and broad
white back and hairy chest with his
rough, parti-colored towel. With his
little circular mirror perched on coil
OF rope another sailorman is carefully
parting his hair. curly locks, while
shipmate looks over his shoulder and
gives final twist to his black silk
neckerchief, and marine brushes his
coat and huns softly to himself mean
while. The steam from the galleys is
rising out of the matches, and with it
mingled, 1t must be confessed, with
smell of oil and grease from the engines
an odor Of hot coffee and broiling
bacon, and the boatswain's whistle is
heard again piping to breakfast
