SPANS INTENTIONS.
There Can lie M Reciprocity on the
Cuban Trade.

WAsTuNGToN, Oct. l6. In regard to
newspaper dispatches from London,
asserting that Spain cannot negotiate u
reciprocity treaty with the United
States for the Cuban trade wi hout
violating The favored nation clause in
her existing treaties with other nations,
it is said at the department Of state.
that this point was discussed and finally
decided il 1884. when Minister Foster
negotiated reciprocity treaty on the
same basis that is now proposed, and il
now revived, not by Spain it stated,
hut by the CONNIE. cial interests OF
Great Britain for ln oyi0us purpose
The state department officials say TINT
the United States also has the favored
nation clause in mo.t of her CONNER
cial treaties but this will not emuarrass
the govelun enG IN the negotiation Of
reciprocity treaties or arrangements
with other nations. because the depart
inent of state has uniformly held from
the time Of MI. Jefferson ai secretary
OF state, to Nj. Blaine. that the Favored
nation clause oAlf apples where priv
iieges are granted freely and without
q considerations but wherever special
consideration is made the condition Of Il
favor granted or received. the favored
nation clause does not apply.
This Interpretation has recently teen
sustained by the supreme court Of the
United States in its opinion in the Gaze
of Baltram VS.. Robertson. III is 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
favored nation clause of treaty
between the United States and Den-
mark, because like articles were admit
ted from the HawaiiHn islands The
supreme court rejected the claim,
stating that the treaty with Denmark
does not bini the United States to
extend to that country without com
pensation, privileges which they have
conceded to the Hawaiian islands in ex-
change for valuable concessions.

Carolina Tragedy.

AHfhflhR AEdHSNys
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Oct t6 at lex
ington, about fifty miles from Charlotte.
one of the bloodiest duels ever fought on
North Carolina soil has taken place.
For n long Willie John McRary has been
watching Oscar Barringer, who seemed
to pay MeRarys wife more attention
than the latter thought was right. On
several occasions McRary has forbidden
his wife to accompany Barringer to any
places of amusement, saying that hewas
suspicious of an intimacy between the
two. Several days ago McRary came
home and found Barrmger seated in the
parlor in deep conversation with the
wife McRary concluded that now was
the most opportune time for him to for
ever cut the friendship that had de vel
oped into love.
McRary ordered Barringer out of his
house, and told him if he ever caught
him in conversation with his wife again
that one or the other would have to
forfeit his life
For while this warning was needed
by Barling1r, and the community
thought that the matter had all been
smoothed over. Barringer could not
suppress the desire to see Mrs McRary,
ana he wrote her very loving note,
asking permission to see her at the
earliest possible moment. The note Of
Barlinger never reached Mrs. AicR lry,
but fet into the husbands hands
Instead of a reply from the woman he
received challenge for duel which
was to take lace at situated spot
near LeAi l5t)n. In McRary's note he
gave Balliuger the preference of either
leaving the tate or confronting hm in
duel.
The challenge was promptly accepted
by Barringer and on Saturday evening
about q o'cl ok they retired to the Sc
lected place to settle this affair.
Both men Ware armed with Smith a.
Wesson pisto $. As soon as the seconds
declared everything in readiness they
both began tirng. After both had
emptied their hve-shooters Bar niger
