Washington, Feb. THE Spanish
legation has received with the full alb
stract of the new reforms for the
island of Cuba and Porto Rico, the
preamble of Senior Canovas, announc-
ing the terms of the new decree This
preamble expresses the kindlest feel
ings towards the Cuban people and de-
clare that the mother Spain is dis
posed, as she always has been, to open
her arms TO them and to extend
amnesty for past offenses and declares
that the application of the reforms only
depends with the insurgents. Minister
Dupuy De Lone discussed the scope
OF the reforms today with a represent
ative of the United Associated Presses
and said among other things:
The electoral reforms were not re-
ferred to at length III the decree of the
ministry for the reasons stated in the
preamble OF Senor Canovas that they
will require the action of the cortes. 1
am Informed however, that the govern
ment contemplate extending greatly
the basis of the suffrage, but they
desire to do it in such a way as to
prevent undue influence being ac-
quired by the illiterate portion of the
population. Any educational qualifica-
tion which may be suggested by the
Cubans and which seems reasonable
and proper viii undoubtedly be
adopted by the cortes.
1T is the purpose of the government"
said Senor Dupuy De Lome," to show
the greatest generosity towards the
insurgents who lay down their arms.
The reforms cannot we'll be put in full
effect until the sovereignty of Spain is
acknowledged in all parts of the
island. The government viii not relax
its military activity in any degree if
the insurgents show a disposition to
continue the contest and fail to ap-
preciate the great concessions made by
the home government"
The tariff features of the new decree,
Senior De LONE said, mean a great deal
for the United States as we'll as for
Cuba The first column of the new
tariff schedules, providing for revenue,
VIII contain the greatest number of
items, leaving the list on which dis
examinations are made in favor of
Spain not exceeding 20 per cent of the
value of the imports. comparatively
short one. The duties levied will be
equal against all countries except
Spain. and American manufa cturers
and exporters, in view of their
familiarity with the Cuban trade and
their nearness to the island, are likely
to appreciate the Importance of these
concessions. The situation will be
much more favorable 10 American
trade than under the reciprocity treaty
of 1896

Washington, Feb. THE president
has signed, on the recommendation of
Secretary of the Interior Francis. an
important order reducing the number
of pension agencies in the United
States from IS to 9. The object of the
order is to effect a very large saving
to the government without incOnveni-
encing the pensioners. The secretary
demonstrates that by this reduction of
the pension agencies the cost of dis
bursting pensions can be reduced by at
least S150.000 per annum.
Under the consolidation the pension
ers heretofore paid at Des MOines and
Topeka are to be paid from st. Louis
where a new agency is established.
A new agency is established at st.
Louis because of the better mail fa-
cilijes there than at Des Moines or
Topeka, and for the further reasons
that there is a government building at
ST. Louis which can be occupied with
out cost to the government.
The following are the nine agencies
and the number of pensioners paid

Ter than the cold surface layer, it
sinks to the bottom. But there was
nothing to look at but snow day after
day. The shifting caves and hillocks
round about were fairy tale frozen
in snow and ice. But you become
tired of the unsetting sun almost as
high at midnight as at midday You
become tired of the constant glare and
tired of those eternal snow spectacles
you have to wear. The sun gradually
circles lower and lower: The autumn
is approaching, and a wonderfully
beautiful thing is this Arctic twilight,
a picture that imagination paints with
eyrie tints. The sun sinks deeper and
the evening sky gets clearer and the
ice world is dreaming in the light
of the northern stiffness. At last the
sun disappears under the horizon, and
then the dawn in the south grows
fainter and fainter every day. But
it is wonderfully beautiful, this twi-
light of the dying, disappearing polar
day. 1t is like dreamland, painted III
the imagination's most deliacte tints-
It is a far away, faint, clear music,
a distant, subdued melody. 1t is a
sad scene of the dying day. But it
grows darker and darker; the dawn
grows fainter and fainter until the
last trace of dawn disappears IN the
south, and then the dark polar night
has commenced and will prevail for
five months without break. The au-
rora now appears. 1t may start like
a mere spot on the horizon, and
spread, separate and twist across the
dark sky in three broad, waving boa
like bands, red yellow, white, or you
my say, in three magnificent streams
