MATHEMATICIAN. Thursday, IuIY !, l886

Secretary Bayard has rendered Amer
lean merchants engaged in the West India
trade an important service by securing
The removal Of certain determinations
which, through some uiisinterpretation Of
the agreement Of 1894. had been enforced
In the Spanish Antilles. IN February Of
that yenr, through tha mediation Of
Minister Foster, an agreement was
entered ilfo between the United
States and Spain, by which goods inn
ported into Cnha and Porto Rico in
American bottoms were put on the same
footing az when imported in Spanish
bottomn. Inreturn disagreement agreed
10 remit 10 per cent extra duty which.
had been laid ON goods imported from
those islands into this country in Spanish
bottoms The Cuban customs authorities,
however, construed this agreement to
apply only to American goods imported
in American ships, and insisted on ex-
Guiding from its provisions goods
Of foreign production thus inn
ported. Secretary Bayard through
Minister Curry, brought this griev.
ance 10 the attention of The Spanish
government, and Mr.. Curry has succeeded
in obtaining from Spain an order placing
American ships trading 10 Cuba on nj
equality with Spanish ships in all i'm

considerable experience in navigating the

The French government has insisted
on exiting from its territory the seicns Of
former royalty who have been dwelling
and probably plotting there, and, in
obedience to the decree, the princes last
week packed their gripsacks and boarded
trains for most huspitable foreign lands.
To Americans this looks like foolish
procedure and confession of inherent
weakness by tho French republic, and il
would not be strange if the notoriety
thus thrust upon the exiles should make
them more dangerous abroad than they
have been at home. Still the princes
may congratulate themselves that they
were not living in the France of 80 years
ago. Then their fellow.citizens of Tie
liberty, equality and fraternity persna
sion would assuredly have given them 4
pass by way of the guillotine to the land
/ from whence no traveller returns.
