Authority, Under the Circumstances, to
Issue an Embargo Proclamation-view
Taken by spain-rurikey Declines the
Services Of Consul Jewett.
WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-Interesting de-
Veiopments are expected at an early day
as a result of the strained relations be-
tween the United States and Spain over
the tariff Spain has already placed the
United States in the first column" and
Secretary Gresham has rejoined by direct
ing Minister Taylor, at Madrid, to notify
the Si'anish government that if the United
states is not removed from the first col
umn" this country will retaliate. In Of
fetal circles it is not believed that Spain
viii yield to the protest of Secretary
Grcsham. In that event, if the secretary
carries out his threat of retaliation, Presi-
dent Cleveland will issue proclamation
closing American ports to the products of
Spain. The first effect of this will be to
shut out the enormous shipments of sugar
which Cuba makes to this country.
Would Close Up the Sugar Eefinerics-
IN ciuciai circles tne siaueIncnt Is
made that Cuba furnishes seven
| eighths of all the raw sugar used in Amer
! lean refineries. The other eighth comes
! from Louisiana and Hawaii, but 1t is said
that it would be impossible TO make up
this seven-eighths now drawn from Cuba
? II is asserted, therefore, by those in no
| way identified with OF partial to the sugar
refine-ies, that the retaliation would cut
them of from their supplies and close
them up, throwing 2oooo employees out of
work. The statement was made By high
official, who has had much to do with the
negotiations, and who is very apprchensive
of the results. He added that the ultimate
effect of the warfare would be to advance
the price Of sugar from 3 cents to 6 cents
per pound, thus making the public bear
the burden.
How Spain Fixes the Tariff.
In lcvying duties Spain arranges coun'
tries in two columns. The first column
includes those who have not entered into
satisfactory treaty arrangement with
Spain Until recently Brazil was tho
only country on the globe which Spain
had put in this column, all othe,
countries being in the second
column which includes those having
satisfactory treaties. The United state:
now joins Brazil in SPANS first col
umr, and thus stands apart from al
other countries in the commercial benefit:
Spain grants. The immediate effect Of
SPANS action has already proved disas
trous to the American trade in -four and
this trade has passed almost exclusively
into the hands OF Canada
Canada Gets the Flour Trade.
Under the old reciprocity arrangement
with spain American flour was shipped Il
Cuba III great quantities But when th'
United States tariff raised the duty OF
Cuban sugar Spain responded by ralsin.
the duty on American flour. The hrs
column duty on -four is S4.15, while tn
second column is 81. As Canada is IL
the second column she enjoys an advant
age of 30 cents a barrel ON -four, and thi:
has proved ample to allow Canada Il
wrest the Cuban flour trade away from
the United States.

QUESTION OF AUTHORITY.
Spain Claims That Uncle Sam Does the
Discriminating Himself.

Discriminating Himself
1t is understood from authoritative
sources that question has been raised as
to the right of the president to issue a re-
taliatory proclamation against Spain
such as Secretary Gresham has threatened.
This proclamation, if made, would be IN
der law of 1890 which authorizes retalia-
ton against countries making unjust"
discrimination against the United States.
But spain claims that she is making no
unjust" discrimination; she arrangcs
her tariff in two columns. according to
whether countries are friendly or I'M
friendly to her, and leaves the countries
to choose their own place.
The recent American tariff putting
sugar on the dutiable list had the effect of
placing this country in SPANS first COL
umn, without any intentional discrimina-
ton on her part. Under these circum-
stances it is urged that Secretary Gresham
has no authority to invoke the retaliatorv

ParrIa Point0ra.

New Era: The people of Perris are
to be congratulated upon the fact that
the Santa Fe mine in the Gavilan coun-
ty has changed hands and work has al
ready begun for q mill upon the pro.
perty. 1t will be either or 10 stamp
mill and will be running inside Of 60
days upon Santa Fe rock. Mr.. w. N.
Stover, miner of many years. expert
ence around Helena Mont, and Mr..
Baker have bought the Santa Fe OF
Messrs. Woods and Judson, and Mr..
Stevsr speaks with that air OF conf
dence born of experience when he says
that he expects the mine to pay all de.
velopment expenses right from the
start.
The Alice mine in the vicinity of Leon
about IA miles southeaat OF Perris and
owned by Mesers. Chesthsm and Wilaon
and Mrs. Grain, has been bonded to a
syndicate OF gentlemen headed by Col.
John m. S. Egan of Good Hope.
The Alice Ia wonderfully large body
OF free milling ore and the expectation
ia that it will result in veritable bo-
nanza to the new owners.
The fact that Col. Egan is at the back
of the enterprise is guarantee that il
will soon be demonstrated that the Alice
is or is not good mine.

A Colored Woman Lawyer.

Miss Ida Platt Of Chicago, colored
woman, has just been admitted to the
bar in Illinois. A quarter of a century
is not long in the life of a nation, but
it is long enough to have seen effaccd
the most stubborn of all sorts Of class
legislation, In 1859 a colored man ap-
piled for admittance to the bar of Iii
nois. He was not asked as to his color.
1t was assumed that he was a Spaniard.
and the precedent was not revoked. The
sex line had a more stubborn contest.
Mrs. Myra Bradwell, the wife of Judge
Bradwell, was the first woman to apply
for admission. 1t was refused. and she
became the editor of the most prominent
legal journal in the state. 1t was only
few years ago, after repeated efforts,
that the Illinois legislature removed the
legal disabilities of women. When ono
of the judges of tho supreme court
signed the license of Miss Platt to prac-
t1ce law, he said that for the first time
the Illinois bar recognizes neither race.
sex nor color.
Miss Platt is about 30 years of age,
is woman of marked ability, AN ex-
cellent shorthand law reporter, pro-
ficient in music, French and German
and graduated from the law college with
honors. A students standing must be
as high as SO to graduate, but Miss
Platt's marking was So, being 1 above
the required number. She has very
pleasing appearance and agreeable man.
ners and enters on her professional ca
