The Women Expect TO Come on with Fly
Ing CoIors i'm the Methodist Conference.
CLEVELAND, o., May 4-The four
women who have been elected as dele
gates to the conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church and their sup
porters claim to have gained a sub
stantial victory, and the indications
now are that when the question is
fought out on the floor of the confer
ence on Monday the women will come
out with flying cOlors.
The IA district conferences have held
meetings and selected committeeman
to represent their respective districts
on the committee which will report on
the eligibility of women to the
conference. The result was a COM
plete victory for the women, the
committee now standing II to
IL in favor of the unconditional
admission of women. Rev. DIR. J. NJ.
Buckley, of New York city, the leader
of the opposition to the admission of
women, was selected from the Second
district, and he will lead the oppo-
sition ON the floor of the confer
ence. From the Eighth district the
clerical representative is Rev. DIR. A..
G. Kynett, of Philadelphia, one
of the leaders of the women's side.

by the eleventh article of the consti-
tuition was proclaimed November 13
1886. The provincial and municipal
organizations of the colonies were
made to conform with those of the
peninsula June Il, 1873.
Reforms in the right Of suffrage
have been difficult of accomplishment
wherever the negro race is in the
ma jority, but the law concerning vo-
tiers in elections for Cuban represen-
tatives in the cortes, promulgated De-
cember ~, 1892, provides that every
citizen 25 years of age who pays the
sum of five dollars to the state, shall
have the right to vote and this right is
enjoyed by negroes as well as white
persons in Cuba. In this law are like
wise provisions which secure the rep
resentation of the minority.
The laws relative to education are
also important As long ago as 1880
autonomy was granted to the Uni
versity of Havana, and such ample
provisions were granted to it that but
one university in the peninsula (that
Of Madrid) enjoys privileges equally
great.
High schools throughout the island
were organized in 1883, and finally in
1887 freedom of education was pro-
claimed to the same extent and man
ner as in Spain.
The Cuban budget, it is shown, has
been reduced from $40, 500, 600 for the
fiscal year 1s7s-79, the closing of the
last war, to little more than So, ,0O0,-
OOO for 1898.
The system of taxation in Cuba and
Spain, it is claimed, could not be made
exactly alike because direct taxes are
repugnant to Cubans, especially the
tax on land, which is the basis of the
Spanish budget. The direct tax on
rural property in Cuba is two per cent,
while in Spain it ranges from II to 20
per cent. As revenue had to be raised
in Cuba the income was sought from
customs duties. Notwithstanding
this was in years when the greatest
financial distress prevailed, the
Spanish government did not
hesitate to sacrifice that income in or
der to meet the special need of Cuba s
principal agricultural product when
the reciprocity treaty went into effect.
Many Spanish industries had to be sac
rificed in order that Cuban sugar could
find its chief market in the United
States.
On the principle of hearing the
other side" this statement of Spanish
reform legislation in regard to Cuba is
ubmitted for consideration.

Inferred Saturday.

inferred on saturday.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The burial of
the remains of the late Secretary
Gresham Saturday afternoon was de-
void of any display whatsoever. The
funeral party reached Washington by
a train on the Chesapeake e Ohio rail-
road at p. m, and was metat the sta
tion by Secretary Lamont and his aid,
Capt. Barry Mrs. Gresham, and
daughter entered the carriage and fol-
lowed the hearse up Pennsylvania
avenue through the White House
grounds en- route to Arlington.
The president and Secretary Olney,
and Secretaries Carlisle and Herbert
and Gen. Miles, were waiting at the
cemetery. The body was lifted from
the hearse by eight troopers from Ft.
Meyers, and the little procession then
wended its way through the beautiful
grounds to the newly-made grave in
front of the old mansion on the brow
of the hill, in close proximity of the
monument of Gen. Sheridan.
Without ceremony, except the sound
ing of taps" by a bugler, the body
vas lowered into its last resting place,
and the party returned to the city :.
There was no military display.
Secretary Smith, who could not at
tend the funeral, sent a wreath of ivy,
which was laid on the casket.
