The election Of Gen. Palmer is as
much of a republican victory as the
election of Strectcr would have been.
The idea of delivering 100 republican
votes over to three rcnrgades for the
purpose Of electlng a turn-coat to the
senate of the United States, was
ridiculous. Palmer is a renegade
republican and so is Streeter, but the
former has the most brains and is

THE TREATY With SPAIN
Negotiations for Partial Reci-
procity Trade With
Cuba Concluded
The Clause in the Mckinley
Tariff Bill Closely
Adhered to
SPANS Fear of Losing the
Island Causes Her to
Make Concessions

MADRID, April 1.-THE draft Of the new
commercial treaty between Spain and
the United States, looking toward partial
reciprocity trade with Cuba, was con-
cluded today. 1t is understood the treaty
fixes very low duties on flour and other
articles imported from the United States
to the Antilles. General Foster, the
special American envoy who negotiated
the new treaty, will leave Madrid for
home tomorrow.
WASHINGTON. April 17-Advlces re-
ceived at the state department indicate
that that the treaty with Spain has been
concluded. 1t comes within the provis-
ions of the reciprocity clause of the Nc
Kinley bill, and eX-Minister John w.
Foster, who negotiated the terms of the
treaty, will soon be back in Washington
with the full text.
Secretary Blaine gave Foster definite
instructions before he departed that he
should make no concessions for the gov
ernment beyond those made in the Nc
Kinley bill and that he should make clear
to the Spanish cabinet the distinction be-
tween the powers Of the president over
the duties on sugar, hides, tea and coffee
and powers over the tariff on other arti-
cles not named in the reciprocity section.
He was directed especially Ia make 1t
plain that the government would not sur
render the duties on tobacco as desired by
Spain.
Foster followed his instructions so well
and with so thorough a knowledge OF the
Spanish language and character That the
Spanish government promptly gave way
The members Of the cabinet desired al
first to open the Cuban markets TO Few
articles OF no great commercial import
ance in return for the opening OF our mar
ketS to free sugar. They proposed that a
separate treaty should then be made, in
which they should admit American liour
to Cuba at reduced duties in return iOl
the admission Of Cuban tobacco to thl'
country. Foster made IL clear that sucl
an arrangement could not be made, aud
that if Spain did not yield reasonable
return for free sugar, the duty on sugar
would be reimposed January /, 1882.
Foster had the advantage over th'
! Spanish government OF Offering them the
alternative Of accepting his terms or In
| yiting an inSurrcctiOn in cuba Whlch wa
| likely to end i'm the loss of the island ant
| its annexation to the United States
| Spain is compelled to surrender larg'
| share OF her customs revenue in Cuba b!
| the new treaty, but she naturally prefer
red that to losing the island altogether
The concessions she has just made cal
never be recalled without endangerinj
her sway in Cuba, and the same conceS
| sions will bring the island in closer sym
pathy with this country.

LONDON, April 1.-THE news that

convicted Of abduction, was the cause OF
Captain Verney's troubles, has caused a
auaking in high society. The RouilliOr
woman was held by the London authori-
ties for some time, awaiting sentence, In
the hope that she would try to obtain
clemency by confession. But she kept
her mouth closed until she got into pris-
on, when she proceeded to tell all, or a
part Of what She knew. II Is believed
that she had a number Of high reputa-
