WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The trip OF
Senator Burrows to Canton, in COM
pany with Senator Sherman, is a
sequel to the reconciliation of Sherman and
Gen. Russell A. Alger, which took place
in this city few days ago. The bitterness
between these gentlemen dates back to the
national Republican convention of 1883.
when they were rival candidates for the
presidency. 1t was on that occasion that
the remarkable deserton of Southern dele
cations from Sherman to Alger occurred
and the Ohio statesman became very indig-
nant on that account. The details of the
reconciliation were not known, but IL can
be stated that the first advances were made
by General Alger, who came to Washington
for the express purpose of making peace
with Senator Sherman. The latter Is said
to have previously served notice on the
President-elect that IL Alger was given a
place in the Cabinet he (Sherman) must de-
cline a portfolio. Then followed the Alger
visit to Washington. the peace making
and next the Canton pilgrimage of Burrows
and Sherman. To-day Senator Sherman
was expected to formally withdraw his op-
position to Alger, and tonight the Michi-
gan delegation in Congress Is banking
heavily on the generals appointment as
secretary OF war.

sented gladly to the general outlines OF q
scheme for Cuban reforms which Premier
Canovas submitted 10 her to-day at Cab

explaining his plans the premier informed
the Queen that he believed the moment Is
fast approaching when IL will be both pos
sible and expedient TO give TO Cuba more
extensive reforms than those recently
granted to Porto Rico. The government
has already drawn up DEGREES which the
minister of the colonies viii promulgate-

powers already voted by. the Cortes. which
will have TO grant a bill OF indemnity for

how far Spain is prepared to go in oecen-
tralization without surrendering any rights

A new law in regard to marriage wh 'ch went into effect in New Jer- sey on the lst inst, will certainly not be gratifying to prospective grooms and brides, who, while not residents in that state, may have have their reasons for wishing to be married in it. In brief, the groom, in the presence of the county clerk, must give to the bride all informa- ton concerning his business, and the bride must tell the bride groom all about herself, while both must answer nine questions ana produce witnesses to answer ten more ques- tions. These relate to the ante cedents of the parties, the length of their courtship, whether engage ment IS public; how long 1t has con tinued; whether either has ever been married before, and if so, what has become of the previous spouse, ct" Until these questions are answered under oath and verified by witnesses no license will be issued. The pur- pose of the law appears to be to prevent irregular marriages.
