ST. PAUL, Fob. At is stated that as
result of the trans-continental conference
the new rate sheet will show reduction in
St. Paul-Spokane rates of seven to ten per
cent on the old tariffs. Tho presont rate
sheet ia made up of ten subdivisions. five
OF which are CLASSES and Gve COM
modify rates. The supposition is that
the ten per cent reduction will
apply to classes. and the seven
per cent to commodities. Under the old
arrangement the same rates applied to
Spokane as to Portland, tho whole terri
tory west of the former city being covered
by blanket rates. strenuous opposition
was made to this Discrimination by the
Spokane people, with the result that the
interstate commerce commission decided
that tho railroads should concedo them
ls Yer cent on the through rate. 1t has
not been found practicable to grant this
full concession, but it is understood that on
the bulk of the traffic Spokane will receive
reduction of from seven to 10 per cont,
while the old traffic will remain in effect as
to Portland. This arrangement is subject

praphed from San Francisco announcing
the revolution and establishment of q pro-
visional govssnm mont received to-day. Your
courss in recognizing the unoppossd de
faoto government appears to have been dis

rule OF this government has uniformly
been to recognize and enter into
relations with any actual government in
full possession of effsctivs power, with the
assent OF the people. You will continue to
recognize the new government under such
conditions. 1t is trusted that the change.
besides conducting to the tranquility and
welfare OF the Hawaiian islands, will tend
to draw closer the intimate tiss of anity
and common interests which so conspicu-
onsly and necessarily link them TO the
United States. You will keep in constsn,
communication With the com mi ander of the

period OF silence. Another reason for the
Ieticencs ut present observed In official cir
cles is the recent bellicose speeches made
by leading generals, who spoke out on the
necessity of military reforms. Tho gsner-
ais. in enthusiastic obedience to orders,
went beyond instructions, and the terms
used by them would have been justified
only had Europe been on the eve of gen
eral conflict. Whatever may be the
effect of these uttei anccs outside
of Germany. their influence on
the reiehstaR will bo small. Tho
fats of the bill rests with the center party.
Unimpeaohabls centrist authority declares
that the sjority of Prussian centrists will
vote for the bill. with slight amendment
while South German members of the patty
will continue TO oppose the whole measure.
The government will thus obtain tho small
msjo ity Of elovsn.
Though the mission of Gen. Won Loe.
who was appointed by Emperor William to
congratulate the pope upon the episco al
Jubilee. 10 officially denied to be in any way
political. it undoubtedly has a bearing on
the attitude of tho centrsts. who ara op-
posed to tho Catholic party in Germany,
toward the bill. Since the czarewitch's 8

LONDON. Feb. 4.-Lord Salisbury opened
the Liverpool Electric railway to-day.
Afterwards, at Liverpool town hall, he re-
piled to an address from tho chamber of
commerce. Lord Salisbury referred to the
Increased dlficulties with which British
merchants had to contend III the way of
foreign competition. He questioned both
the morality and expediency of the use Of
the tariff IA weapon against other
nations, and mentioned as MI illustration
of bis argument the fiscal wars between
France, Italy and Switzerland. as ptoduc-
ing disaster to all concerned. Lord Sails
bury defended the colonial extension of
English rule. The whole world, he said,
was benefited by British colonization.
Should other nations obtain the colonies
they might not use them in the same gen
eroas manner as tho English, but might
fsace them around with = wall OF brass
