IT'S ROUGH ON SPAIN.
That Reciprocity Treaty-But Uncle sam
Is All Right

MADRID, April 21-The reciprocity
treaty which Col. John W. Foster has ne
gotiated with Spain would never have
been agreed to here if it had not been the
proba ole alternative of civil war in Cuba
For this reason Spain was obliged to sac
ritce home industries to colonial inter
ests. Under the new convention America
will obtain kind of Zollverein with the
Spanish Antilles. Her weat, beans, -four.
lard, petroleum, manufactured products,
and N machinery willenter practically free of
duty. Among other Spanish exports
olive oil will be replaced by American
lard, and beans, now exported to Cuba in
large quantities, will cease to be sent.
The advantage resulting to Cuba will be
great, but it is impossible to estimate the
injury to Spanish trade

Meeting of the Men.
About 400 of the strikers met during
The afternoon, and were addressed by
William II. Kliver, of the Carpenters I'M
ion. He began by telling the men that
the sympathy of the business men of the
city and the press was with them, and it
was considered an outrage that in CITY
like Chicago men should be treated worse
than slaves. In order to keep this sympa-
thy they must, however, be careful that
during this strike there was no violence
Or misbehavior of any kind. He then ad-
yised the men to thoroughly picket the
site, and persuade men going there to
work from doing so.

Nearly 10000 bricks which the contract
ors have been trying to work into the new
court house, have been rejected, and Super
intendant Rogers has another wrangle on
hand. The bricks are said to te soft

them in the construction of the building
will not only eyade the stipulations Of

iously to the building. Mr. Rogers
has notified the contractors that they may
continue to haul to the court house all the
brick they desire, but not one of them of
inferior quality shall be used in the erec-
ton of the building. The bricks were fur
