RECIPROCITY WITH WEST INDIES
Ambassador PauncefOte Will Open
Negotiations With This Government.

Ambassador PauncefOte VIII Omen
Negotiations With This Government.
1t is stated at the State Department that
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor, has not yet communicated with the
department respecting the drawing of d
new set Of reciprocity treaties between the
United States and the British West Indian
possessions, but advices to the effect that
he is charged with such mission have
been received from London
1t has been known here for some time
that the West Indian possessions of Great
Britain were urging the home government
to secure them all the reciprocity adyan-
tages possible under the Dingley act 1t
was represented that the sugar industry of
British Guiana, which is the chief one was
dependent to large extent OH the. Ameri-
can market, the shipments to the United
states exceeding those to all other coun-
tries combined. Without the reciprocity ar
rangement. it was argued, South American
sugar producing countries would secure
control CT the American market and the
Industry of British Guiana would be Grip
pied, if not destroyed.
The British colonies which secured re-
clprocity treaties under the Mckinley law
were Barbadoes, Guiana, Jamaica Leewar I'd
Isianos, trinidad and Windward Islands.
In those cases the British government act
ed for the colonies, but subsequently each
colony passed law carrying the reciproc-
ity arrangement into effect The same
procedure would be observed in the present
case.
The aggregate trade Of these British COL
ONES is very great, exceeding that of some
OF the first-class nations. When the last
treaties were made the exports of these
colonies were sS3.000.0O0 annually, and the
imports about the same. The main shin
ments to the United States were: Sugar,
IS, 900: fruits. $s,1O0 900; coffee, ss11 900:
cocoa, $500. 600: drugs and chemicals. sS5S
eco. The shipments from the United States
provisions. manufactures of iron. steel and
wood and cotton. '-1

Attorneys Advertisements Received
With Suspicion

The patent office is in receipt of mass
OF literature sent out by patent attorneys
and forwarded by its recipients to Wash
ington for official inspection. Since the
widespread publicity given to the investi-
CATION of the ease of Wedderburn & Co. by
the patent office people in all parts of the
country have begun sending any advertise
ments from patent attorneys that come to
their hands to the office whenever these
advertisements appear to be at all mislead-
ing. Much of this character of literature
shows tendency on the part of those who
have prepared it to convince inventors that
a patent Is an easy and sure road to wealth,
but, as a rule, the statements made in THU;
manner are SO guarded that 1t is not posi-
He to call the attorneys responsible for
them to account. They keep barely inside
the line Of what is known as professional
practice, and wien they cross it they are
very guarded to avoid anything that can
be interpreted as fraudulent

people will always win against the aristo-

ways right. Some time before the election
our district leaders made careful canvass
of the vote and reported upon the outlook
They gave us very fall figures and esti-
mates. and they proved to be accurate"

Relations with Canada.

The government is favorably considering
the question of improving our commercial
relations with Canada. 1t is known that
Mr.. Kasson, who has been specially charg-
ed with the arrangement of reciprocity
plans under the new tariff act, is friendly
to such a course of action. The last re-
ciprocity treaty which governed the rela
tons of the two countries was terminated
by act of Congress on the assumption that
the benefits were not equally divided be-
tween them and that Canada had the ad-
vantage.

A Lucky klo ndike Woman.

Luck, like lightning, strikes in curl
Gus places. It is so in the Klondike.
Mrs. j. Il. Willis was less than three
months ago poor washwoman, living
in Dawson City. She set out alone
for the gold fields of the frozen North
from Tacoma, Wash, about two years
ago. She was not successful in her
prospecting, but she managed to make
fair living as laundry woman in
Dawson City When the news of the
Klondike discoveries of gold reached
that place she joined party of cattle
men, and went at once to the new dig
gings. She staked out claim as soon
as she got there, and it turned out to
be good one. She is now worth at
last $3.50, O00 Mrs. Willis has a hus-
band living in Tacoma. He is black
smith and great sufferer from rheu-
matism. 1t was his inability to work
that caused her to start out for the
gold-mining country, resolved to re-
turn rich or not Mt all. Incidentally
she has the fame of introducing the
first ''boiled shirt among the Yukon
miners. She paid $3.50 for the box
of starch with which she starched it
and 81 day and board to the Indian
squaw who was her first assistant III
the laundry.

"BjcvcIe Catavrh,"

1t would occasionally seem as if
physicians devote much of their time
to hunting up reasons why mankind
should give up the wheel. Long ago
it was the bicycle hump, then the BIZ
cycle face, these being followed by
the bicycle voice and other equally
serious troubles, all of which have
been laughed to scorn by devotees of
the wheel. Now comes a medical per-
son of Philadelphia with the alarming
information that bicycle catarrh is
among the perils that must be faced
by those who ride wheels. Says the
Quakertown Galen:
Its no fancied ill, this bicycle Ca
tarrh, and it's putting lots of money
into the pockets of eye specialists and
opticians as well as physicians whose
practice is general. The bicycle
crank, you know, nearly always over
does the sport and rides five times as
far and five times as long as he ought
to- His own motion creates a contin-
ual wind pressure on his face, and the
strain upon eyes, ears, nose and throat
practice that three wheelmen out of
every ten are afflicted with catarrh in
more or less advanced stage, the con-
dition generally affecting the eyes.
The same state of affairs is noticeable
in motormen, locomotive engineers
and others who are constantly facing
the wind, but the modern instrument
of locomotion is responsible for such a
large increase in the number of cases
that we feel perfectly justified in call
ing the ailment bicycle catarrh. -
