MADRID, April 22.-The reciprocity
convention between Spain anlj United
States, as drafted by Premier Cauoyas del
Castillo, representing Spain, and Gen. j.
w. Foster, representing the Unitcd6ta,es,
is based, as far as lie United States is
concerned, upon the third or reciprocity
section of the new American tariff law
In return for the privilege of free entry
into the United States Of Antilles sugars,
mOlasscs, coffee and hides, and a reduC-
ton of duty on tea, America will obtain
exemption from duties on most of her
raw and manufactured products, and a
reduction of the tariff ON cereals and
flour.
The negotiations were protracted upon
the question of the entire abolition Of the
tariff on cereals, fours and oils, includ-
ing petroleum and lard The same ques-
ton in regard to tobacco was also raised,
but not coming within the scope Of the
thlrd Sectlon Oh tlle American laws, was
put aside.
A Protest
Premier Canoyas offered protracted
resistance to the abolition Of the tariff on
flour, Barcelona and Santander traders,
who are largely interested in flour ship
ments, presented energetic pr0te t,
which fortified the minister in his indis-
position to accede to the American pro
posals.
Eventually, representations that Amer
lean reciprocity would be impossible
without the free admission Of American
cereals, induced Premier Canovas to as
sent to such a reduction of the tariff rs

equal footing with Spanish -four. San
tander merchants dec 10 that taking iu-
to consideration the costs of the trans

sumes 500 GOO barrels of flour yearly

HOW FACTS ARE DISTORTED.
The Truth Regarding the Family Bible
and the Phillips SG, 900, 600.

BRoCKToN, Mass, April %. -- The
Northeastern correspondent of The
Enterprise furnishes some facts regard
ing a sensational story to the effect that
family Bible was recently taken from
a family tomb in Easton, which upon
examination furnished needed proof as
to the heirs of the estate of Isaac Phil
lips, which is valued at $4,000, 900. He
says it is an old story revived after sleep
ing twenty years, and the Phillips heirs
have heard nothing new about it in that
space of time. The fact is, the Bible
was taken from the grave of Mrs. Susie
Randall twenty years ago this spring, at
which time it was desired in order to
complete the pedigree of the Phillips
family, it having been ascertained that
it had been buried with Mrs. Randall
some time before. The record was then
searched, but the book was never re-
turned to the grave.

John Reed lived in Newport. R. l.. in

He and his wife agreed to separate, and
as they had two children they each took
one.
One night, just before the opening Of

young man came to the camp fire Of
Reed, who was among those waiting fOI
the opening, and asked for some tea fOI
his mother, who was i'll from the excite.

a young woman, not only gave him the
tea, but went with him to see if she
could be of any assistance TO the afflicted
woman.
During the visit the fact became known

had no idea that her mother was in the

matter.
When she got back to her father;
camp she told him of the woman with
their name, and spoke of her curious
questions. Reed at once became deeply
interested, and early in the morning
went to the camp. His wife and he imme
