RECIPROCITY GAINS
BY NEW DECISION
Favored Nation" Clause Does Not Re-
strict the United States in Effect
ing Proposed Agreement
With Canada.

Washington, D. g., April ii The
customs court in a decision yesterday
held in effect that the so.called favored
nation clause in the existing commercial
treaties with England, France and Ger
many does not restrict the United
States in eifectng the proposed reci-
procity agreement with Canada. The
courts decision was brought out by a
comparatively unimportant contest over
the rate of duty which should be inn
posed on whiskey imported from Eng
land and France.
The point involved is the same raised
IN opostion to the proposed Canadian
reciprocity agreement by those who
claimed it was practically forbidden by
the "fayorel nation" clause.
A firm of New York importers pro-
tested payment of duty on whiskey
from England at the rate of 1925 per
gallon, holding that they were entitled
to a rate of Sl.75, which is imposed
on whiskey and other spirits from
France The essence of their claim
was that under the most favored ma
ton clause with Great Britain. im-
portations from England are entitled
to be entered at the same rate of mty
levied upon such merchandise when
imported from France and the other
countries with which similar treaties
have been executed.
"We think that in logic or effect
the negotiation Of treaty upon a
does no violence to that
treaty provision with England" holds
the customs court. "17he reciprocity
treaty with France is one founded up
up mutual considerations. If this
country should concede to Great Brit
ain without consideration what it has
to France for consideration, it
would not be conceding to England d
favor, it conceded to the other country,
but it would be conceding to England
more than it conceded to the other
The action of the customs authori-
ties in refusing to extend the low
French duty to imports from England
was sustained.

But Twenty Persons PeriShed
When Ship FOundered
SEVERAL WERE WOMEN
Steamer Iroquois Went Down Shortly
After Leaving Sidney-0ne Man
Was Floating on Door
When Rescued.

Victoria, B c., April l1,-Nearly
every woman on board the wooden
steamer lroquois, which foundered yes
terday near Sidney, Vancouver island
was drowned. Penned in the deck
house of the boat, the five women
struggled while the sea broke in. They
were beating against the glass Of the
saloon windows when the survivors
clmbered out to struggle up the side
of the deck
Among those saved was Harry Hart,
nell, who was seen drifting about on a
door. He was rescued by Indians.
Isabel Fenwick had made brave eff
fort to live When her body was
washed ashore at Coal island to-day,
one hand still clung to the mattress
on which she had tried to reach the
shore. Her body had no life pre-
server.
The purser, who had record Of
fares collected, is among the dead, and
it not probable that the exact number
that perished will ever be known. Four
passengers and seven members Of the
crew were rescued and four of the crew
and probably IL passengers were
drowned
Yesterdays disaster was in some
respects similar to the loss of the
steamer Sechelt with 20 lives off Beechy
Head. Vancouver island, on March "a
The Sechelt, wooden steamer of al
most the same speed and dimensions as
tbs Irokuois, was sruck by gale,
rolled over on her side and went down
in few minutes.
The passengers saved yesterday
drifted ashore with life buoys, in the
last stages of exhaustion Purser
Monroe was found encircled with a
life belt, and floating on bale of hay
When the Iroquois foundered part Of
the upper works was left above water
and persons ashore could see the sur
viors clinging to that portion of the
wreck The swirl of the waters soon
tore off the house and the sea was
covered with wreckage, amid which
men and women struggled for their
their lives of the bodies which drifted
ashore many were equipped with life
belts
A number OF launches put off but
were unable to get near the wreck.
The first of the survivors to be landed
was Captain Sears of the wrecked boat,
who, with Mate Bier and two Indians
belonging to the crew, was towed
ashore
The Iroquois foundered l5 minutes
after leaving Sidney Her cargo shift
ing, she swung over on her port side,
circIed around as if about to come back
to port, partly righted again, went on
her beam end anil apparently filling
with water foundered in comparatively
shallow water Her engines blew up
as she sank
Captain Sears, the engineer and two
deckhunds, who landed at Armstrong
point were within 300 yards of
swamped life boat whose occupants
We're drowned, but We're unable to reach
them A rescue party set out from
Sidney in launch and was within
sight Of the people struggling in the
water when the steering gear OF the
launch broke and the rescuers were left
powerless.

BARRE is FAVORED
For Quarry Workers of Americas Next
Convention.

Nomination returns which have been
coming into the Quarryworkers' head
quarters from locals in every corner of
the country indicate that Barre is fa-
vored as the place for the next conven-
tion of the organization. Other locals,
however, believe that Boston is prefer
able for many reasons, while there are
scattering votes in favor of Rochester,
n. Y, New York City, Quincy, Mass,
So Paul. Mimi, and Chicago The ma
jority state that the convention should
meet in Barre, although Boston has a
considerable following among Maine To-
Gals Ii is generally believed that Bos-
ton by reason Of its central location
will be chosen in preference to Barre.
The letter containing the nomination
of each local also included a vote on
the means of revising the constitution.
A few favored the idea Of revision BY
a specially appointed committee, while
a large majority declared for revision
BY convention. The latter method will
doubtless be employed.
