In the north of England the story Of
Henry Jackson's eccentric manner OF
taking love disappointment is told
to-day, although 40 years have passed
since the pathetic, if foolish, chapter
of his life was closed. Henry Jackson
was a Yorkshire farmer, one of the
talIest and handsomest men in all the
country side, and great preparations
had been made for his wedding to
pretty Mary Howarth, daughter of his
nearest nefghbor. He was leaving his

STRONG PROTEST AGAINST
iht REClPROClli lREA1Y
IS CONSIDERED DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST BRITISH WEST IN.
DiEs-THE DUTY ON
GRAIN.

London, Jan. 24.--The reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the United
States threatens to raise one OF the
most serious differences of opinion be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States that has occurred for years. So
much Importance is attached to the
matter that meeting of the Cabinet
Is being specially summoned to see
what action can be taken. There Is, of
course, no alarmist feeling as to any
possible straining Of diplomatic rela-
tions, but Great Britain's entire com
mercial policy is believed to be vitality
concerned
The matter came to head through
the deputation from the chambers OF
commerce OF the United Kingdom.
which waited upon Foreign Secretary
I.ansdowne yesterday. II included sew
eral members Of Parliament and repre-.
sented the most powerful business iu-
terests from all the British Industrial
centers. Replying to the delegates ar
gument that all the advantages which
the Government had gained by secut.
ing the abolition Of the sugar counties
would be sacrificed II the Cdban ract-
procity treaty became operative, Lord
Lansdowne said he thoroughly realized
the gravity Of the situation and pro-
ceeded to read dispatches showing that
ambassador Herbert had torcetdlly
represented the British objections to
the treaty. pointing out that 1t was to
all intents and purposes a discrirlina-
tion against all the British Possessions
In the West Indies. Secretary Hays
reply maintained that the United
States was doing no more than II had
the right to do, and intimated that II
had no intention OF modifying the Cub
an treaty.
Lord Lansdowne added that all the
information available pointed to the
fact that the treaty would pass, but he
announced that the Cabinet would con-
slider IL anything further could be done.
The delegates said they understood
the treaty contains a secret clause stip-
ulating that no further measures OF
reciprocity shall be undertaken by the
United States toward the British West
Indies II such was the case, II was
suggested to Lord Lansdowne that
Great Britain would be only within her
rights In retaliating with an increased
duty on grain. The Foreign Secretary
gave no intimation on this point, which
apparently was only suggested in the
hope that some OF the members of the
Cabinet who are reported to be strong
~ in favor of more protectionist pol
icy might use 1t as handle to forward
their views.
