KifIIPROCITY WITH SPAIN CLAIM THAT IT WOULD VIOLATE THE FAVORED NATION CLAUSE. London Dispatches Suggest a Diffi culty in Negotiating for Trade With Cuba—The State Department's Posi tion on the Question—Canadian Ex port Duties on Timber Removed. Washington, Oct 14— Dispatches from London assert that Spain cannot negotiate a reciprocity treaty with the United States for the Cuban trade without violating the “favored nation" clause In her existing treaties with other nations. It is said at the state department that this p unt was discussed and finally decided in 1884, when Minister Foster negotiated a reciprocity treaty on the same basis that is now proposed, and is now revived, not by Spain, but by the commercial interests of Great Britian, for obvious pur poses. The United States also has a “fav ored nation" clause in the most of her com mercial treaties, but this will not embarrass the government on the negotiation of re ciprocity treaty or arrangements with other mtious, because the iloparttnent has held from the time of Jefferson to Blaine that the “favored nation" clause applies onlv where privileges are granted freely and without consideration.

Toronto, Ont., Oct. 14.—The Empire, the government organ, commenting on the removal of the export duty on Canadian spruce and pine logs, announced in a i extra edition of the Canadian official gazette to day, says: “The action of the dominion government in removing these export duties will doubt loss be taken as an earnest of their desire for enlarged freedom of trade in lumner between Canada and the Uni ed States; and while congress has, as we think rather ungraciously excluded spruce lumber from a lower rate of duty, the prompt action of the federal authorities may yet prove effectual in inducing the United States to deal more liberally with the grades of lumber upon which they have placed or maintained higher duties."
