Washington, June Is. a reciprocity
treaty between the United States and

the department of state by the repre-.
sentatives Of the two governments. slts
Is the first treaty framed under the
Dingley law and the first of the series
of treaties which the British colonies
to the south of this country are seek
ing to effect. John A. Kasspn, special
reciprocity plenipotentiary, signed for
the United States and the British
charge, Mr.. Tower, for. Great Britain.
The treaty Is made for the term of five
years, with the provision for an ex-
tension unless either party should de-
nounce 1t in the meantime. lis made
strictly within the terms Of section
OF the Dingley law, which provides for
reduction of not more than 20 per
cent Of the regular duties on goods,
merchandise, which may be agreed
upon, in return for reciprocal reduc.
tons given by other countries. This
section further permits goods to he
taken from the dutiable list and placed
on the free list, also for placing of
goods on the list for term of years.
Because this convention is treaty
and not o mere reciprocity agreement
and consequently, like all treaties,
must be submitted to the United
States senate for It's approval; the
state department. is precluded from
making public its terms. Therefore it
Is not possible to give with more than
Rn approximate degree Of accuracy the
scope Of the instrument. The informa-
ton received from official quarters
shows that the chief articles of export
from Barbados to the United States
are sugar, molasses and maujak. the
latter being pitch much like asphalt.
islands, and the chief, : export to this
country. the trade last year amounting
to $203S.6 1O. The chief articles sent
to Barbados from the United States
are foodstuffs, mainly flour, corn meal,
salt beef, bacon, pork, bread and corn.
The islands depend almost entirely on
this country for their food supply. On
the other hand they have been getting
their manufactured goods almost eX-
clusively from England. Our consuls
have called attention recently to the
market in the Barbados for canned
goods. preserves. cement. bicycles, car
riages and electrical equipment. The
treaty relating to British Guiana is
also about ready to be signed. The
Jamaican negotiations began yestcr-
day, and the officials express hopes
that results may be secured as to this
colony ut an early day.

Bismarck. n. D.-The weekly crop
bulletin says that very heavy rains
have fallen in all parts of the state dur
iE the past week, accompanied by mod
erately cool weather for this time OF
year. While some slight damage has
been done by excessive rains, still they
have been of great benefit in germin-

which had been previously damaged
by high winds and frosts. In PembinA
county some wheat is reported as turn
ing color from some unknown cause,
while from all parts of the state weeds
are said to be making rapid growth.
Considerable fax is yet to be sown, as
but little could be done! the past week
on account of the ,unfavorable weather
for working land. The most of the 9th
er small grain, such as oats, barley and
millet, has been seeded, and compliant
ing is also about finished, some Of
which will have to be replanted on ac-
count of the seed rotting in the ground.
All grain that is up is reported as look
ing very well and making rapid
growth. The ground is full of moist
ure. and all that is needed now is sun
shine and warmer weather

The Fire Festival Attracts ThOu-
sands and Proves o Success.
Fargo, N. D.-The first day of the
Fargo fire festival was decided sue
cess. The crowd was much larger
than even the enthusiasts had antici-
pated. Every train brought in hun
dreds of visitors to assist in the event.
1t Is estimated that there We're 10000
visitors. The secret society parade in
the afternoon was one Of the most
magnificent ever given, and the differ
ent features We're enthusiastically ap-
plauded. The Masons, knights Of
Pythias and Elks led in the display
and a number of other secret societies
We're splendilly represented. There
was all kinds of sport and amusement
on the platforms erected for that pur-
pose. Eight bands furnished music for
the occasion, and everybody had good
time. Ninety per cent Of the crowd re-
manned over for the entire festival.
The second day was the big day OF
the Fargo fire festival. The crowd ex-
ceeded that of the previous day, and
the industrial parade in the afternoon
surpassed all former estimates. The
line was over three miles long and con-
tanned some most attractive floats.
Many Of the features were eithMsias-
tically applauded. All the sports Of
the day were successful. The troupe
of acrobats and performers kept the
crowd amused Mt the street platforms
Fargo defeated Grand Forks at base
ball in the forenoon and GAINESVILLE in
the afternoon. The balloon ascension
was success. Tie knights of the
Khorrassan, the Shrine of the knights
Of Pythias. initiated big class in the
evening, after street parade in which
several hundred knights participated.
The curtain has been rung down on
the three-day excitement of the Fargo
Festival. The weather has been ideal
and the immense crowds orderly and
sober. After all kinds of sport. the star
event of the afternoon was the handl.
cap wrestling match between Hall Adj

the five-style champion Of til eUnited
States. The Turk was to throw Nc

to make Il head-spin to prevent being
thrown. Mcmillan was on the Offens-

and was OH top at the expiration of the,
time. The three thousand people who

The rebel force, estimated to have
numbered 5,0OO advanced stealthily
from the jungle north of the city. and
then divided with the evident intention
of surrounding the Americans. The

first shock and reserved their fire until
the full volley struck the rebels. who

Americans. who fully enjoyed the nov

loss was fourteen men wounded. and
the majority, OF them are only slightly
hurt. Gen. Funston's brigade of Kan
Sans and Montanas and Gen. Hale's
brigade. the Seventh regiment and the
Iowa regiment, constituted the force
engaged.
Aguinaldo is reported to have per-
sonally conducted the attack. and
