Treaty With Great Britain Signed
IesterdaY Afternaan

A reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Great Britain in relation TO
trade between this country and the British
colony of Barbados was signed at the De-
partment of State yesterday afternoon by
Mr.. John a. Kasson. special reciprocity
plenipotentiary. for the United States and
by the British charge, Mr.. Tower, for Great
Britain.
The treaty is made for the term of five
years, with provision for an extension I'M
less either party should dersounce it in the
meantime. 1t is made strictly within the
terms of section of the Ding9ey law.
which provides for a reduction of not more
than 20 per cent of the regular duties on
goods, wares and merchandise which NAV
be agreed upon, in return for reciprocal re-
auctions given by other countries
Because this convention is a treaty. and
not a mere reciprocity arrangement Ii must
be submitted to the United States Senate
for its approval, and the State Department
is precluded from making public It's terms.
The chief articles of export from Barbados
to the United States are sugar, molasses
and maujak, the latter being a pitch much
like asphalt.
The chief articles sent to Barbados from
the United States are food stufrs mainly
flour. corIlsDeal salt beef, bacon, pork
bread and corn The islands depend almost
entirely on this country for their food sup
ply. On the other hand, they have been
getting their manufactured goods almost
exclusively from England.

Sicflan Defense.

The second week of the London tourney
has not been good one for the American
competitors. Pillsbury has lost a game to
both Janowski and his old hoodoo Black
burne, and is now tied for fourth and fifth
place with Schlecter. Showalter has lost
four and won but single game and is now
tied with Blackburne for ninth place. drop
ping from fourth. Steinitz, winning two
and losing two, held to seventh place.
Lasker, who, with the title of champion
ought to win out, has improved his position
during the week, reaching third place from
fifth. and is only a half point behind the
leaders.
In spite Of the high tariff placed by the
management on the games, some few have
fitted across the water. A game between
Steinitz and Lasker by agreement was
given up as drawn, with the board full of
pieces. One of the most instructive was q
win from Tschigorin by Pillsbury. The Rus
sian is master of the Evans Gambit and
used that opening, but the American was
too familiar with the defense, and won.
The game follows.
