Rico. The investigation was made, but
under pressure of Canovas del Castillo,
who declared in his report that the two
American colonies ought not to enjoy
the liberal code of 1912, which appliedin
the Peninsula. He also claimed that the
maintenance of an autocratic administra-
ton was necessary for Cuba and Porto
Rico. 1t was then, that long insurrec-
ton broke out, and they now fear the
same condition of affairs will come about,
since Ausero's returned to Cuba has fol-
lowed so close on the return to power of
Canovas del Castillo, the old enemy of
Spain.

CHICAGO, April Prev. Henry Ward
Beecher said to Daily News reporter to
day: My individual preference for Pres
ident is Arthur; if nominated he would
carry the country with greater eclat for
the republicans than any other man they
could name. As for Tilden he has been
dead these three years. Ny sentiments
on tariff are for free trade: l don't want
it to come too suddenly, but gradually.
If we brought it down a certain amount
each year it would have no evil effects
Silk merchants in New York have told
me they did not feel the twenty per cent
reduction on silk goods. / am in favor
of reduction of tariff to the absolute
needs of the government for expenses.
l am in favor of more direct taxation by
the national government-taxation such
as is made in States on personal property
If the men have no personal property
there should be poll-tax.
Robert I. Lincoln will be fool if he
allows his name to be used for the vice
presidency or accepts the nomination If
he will wait four years he can have the
presidency.
Beecher will preach in Trinity NJ. E.
church tomorrow morning.
