PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. N.-col.
James A. Sexton, OF Chicago. national
commander OF the Grand Army Of the
Republic who is attending a meeting ia
this city for the executive committee
OF that organisation, declined to diSnnea
President McKinley'R suggestion IN his
speech at Atlanta that the national gov
ernment should share with the sontneIU
peoule in the care Of the graves Of Con-
federate soldiers as It now cares for
the graves OF those who fought on the
Union side.
When asked for an expression on the
subject, Col. Sexton said he would rath-
er al this time not discuss the matter.
Regarding the proposition that the
same day shalt be observed as Memorial
Day by both North and South, the colo
mel said there certainly could be no on-
lection to the idea, and thought such
a step would go q great way towards
obllterating Bo-called sectional lines.

Miss Pauncefote was struck by a brick
but fortunately its force was somewhat

smashed and the magnificent cut glass
OF the main entrance doors was broken
and ruined. The total damage done, Il
Is estimated will amount $500, a tel

as the first missiles were thrown and
the servants rushed out and were en-
gagged in fight With Pearson when
the police arrived and arrested him. He
was taken 10 the police station where
his mother called later and said she had

ident Mckinley, before leaving for the
south, last Tuesday, signed an execu-
tive order establlshing,a a customs tariff
for the island OF Cuba, to go Into effect
january ], next. This tariff Is based
upon the report and recommendations
made By Hon. Robert p. Porter, special
commission OF the United States, who
was sent to Cuba some months ago,
for the special purpose OF making an
ineVstigation OF the subjects OF revenue
and customs OF the island.
Following are export rates OF duty on
tobacco: Cigarettes In boxes per 1000,
30 cents. Should wrapper and hller
leaves be exported in the same pack
age, bale Or bundle, the export duty
Ievlable ON wrapper tobacco shall be
collected when the weight OF the latter
exceeds 10 per cent OF the total weight.

wrappers, shall be liable to the duty lev
liable on tobacco In the leaf, with sur
tax OF 100 per cent.
In commenting upon the schedules,
Mr., Porter says: In recommending
changes OF rates In the several sched-
ules OF the Cuban tariff now In force
in Cuban ports In possession OF the uni
ted States, have been guided by the
following considerations:
THE necessities OF obtaining SUM-
Client revenue TO administer the affairs
OF the island.
IA reduction Of duties IN those
cases where Spain retained In the min

cause ghe could not herself supply the

In an Interview said that lie could not
commit himself In favor OF such an ale

one." he added, "and is absorbing the
attention of every nation on the earth.

such an alliance as Is suggested by Mr..
Davis"
The minister spoke OF the vast ad-
yantages OF these Understandings and
said he had no doubt that sooner or la
ter there would be alliances between the
countries In some form or other.
II would make little or no difference
In Just what form they might be made.
The interest of England, the United
States and Japan are almost Identical
and an understanding between them.

great benefit to all.
The proposition Of the Hawaiian COM

Hawaii were dlBfrnnchised by the re-

reason that the subject Is nov pending

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l7.-col.
Bryan expressed himself to-day very
emphatlcallV to his Democratic asso-

gard to the Philippines. He believes
that the islands ought not to be held
longer than is necessary for the United
states 10 establish there stable and
independent government such as was
guaranteed to Cuba in the resolution
which led to the declaration Of war, and
he believes 1t is the duty of Congress to
make declaration of the intention Of
the United States at the earliest possi-
bic date in order that there may be no
Misunderstanding in the future, and
that the natives OF the islands may rest
assured that the ultimate purpose OF the
United States is to give them free and
independent government.
The war was fought for humanity's
sake. he says. and the United States In
the hour OF victory at the close OF the
