One Cent. One Cent. Absolutely~ Independent. Family, MAY 15, 1891. Reciprocity. It is definitely understood that the arrangement made with the Spanish government by Gen. John W. Foster for reciprocal trade relations with the Spanish-American colonies is not a treaty. No treaty was required in order to take advantage of the provis- ions Of the new tarifi law. It is a con- vention. The precise terms of it have already been given in substance, but not so definitely as it is now possible to an- nounce them. The articles to be ad- mitted into the United States from the Spanish West Indies free of duty are sugar, honey, cocoa, coffee and skins. In return they are to admit, free of duty, our coal, ice, wood, boots and shoes, fresh and salt meats, and fish ; and the duty on corn and flour is re- duced to 43 per cent of its former mag- nitude. Spain has a number of treaties with other nations, ending in July 1892, which contain “most favored nation” clauses. When these treaties cease to be operative the Spanish West Indies will admit free our dry goods and ma- chinery. Although we do not let tobacco in free, we seem to get a very good quid pro quo; and the new arrangement will soon lead to an enlarged trade with Cuba and Porto RICO. -— —-¢+v~——-— Funny Newspaper. While General J. S. Clarkson is in Berlin he intends to become familiar with the plans of the new paper there which is given away, and depends en- tirely upon advertising for its support. He is inclined to think that a plan of that sort will be adopted by the United States newspaper of the future. Every- body wishes General Clarkson a splen- did time, a happy reunion of all his family, in Europe, and again back here in their own native country. 9' BER HEAD GRUSHED BY STONES. A Baltimore Woman Blangled in \Vales and Her Husband Arrested. LONDON, May 15.—A dispatch from Ches- ter states that a Mrs. Donkin, of Balti- more, has been found in the Snowden mountains, North Wales, in a terribly in- jured condition. The police incline to the belief that the lady had been the victim of foul play, and that an attempt had been made to murder her. Mrs. Donkin is so seriously injured that she has not yet been able to make a statement of the affair. The case is being investigated by the local authorities. The theory is advanced that the lady received her injuries in conse- quence of having fallen down the mount- ain slopes. Later—VVhen Mrs. Donkin was found she was unconscious, her head having been battered in by stones. Four physi- cians are now in attendance upon the lady, whose recovery is believed to be impos- sible. It is now believed to he certainly a case of attempted murder, and Mrs. Donkin’s husband has been arrested on suspicion of h avin g committed the crime. After Our Wineries Now. SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.—The Examiner says a company composed of English and French spirit- dealers has been formed in London to buy the principal wineries in California. The syndicate is called the “Grape Brandy Distillers,” and has an os- tensible capital of £120,000. The scheme is to ship grape must to France and England and there distil it.
