Missouri and having the moral support OF
special commission appointed by the
Supreme court, has practically failed to
make any of the resident members of
the Western Insurance union, which were
summoned before him, tell anything they
did not wish to about their business. The

with being members of an unlawful com
bination for the maintenance of rates.

first witness. He admitted the existence

of the Home of New York, were also ex-
amined as to certain combinations at ST

at the rate Of $57. 85 per annum, which Is
the allowance for the first year of enlist

other years allowance.

LOWER CUBAN TARIFF.
New Schedule Goes Into Effect Jan. l.
VIII Encourage Commerce..

VIZ @@"ecuiaNc
President Mckinley has signed an
executive order establishing customs
tariff for the island OF Cuba, TO go into
effect Jan. l next. 1t is revision of
the temporary military tariff adopted
by the war department for the port of
Santiago, which was general rcduc-
tion of 62 per cent on the tariff imposed
by Spain on all imports into Cuba from
the United States and all other coun-
tries except Spain. The rates in the
tariff about to 60 into force, with some
few exceptions, are greatly below the
rates now in force at Santiago. The
new tariff has been framed with view
to the rehabilitation of the island. The
duty on paving stones, which are
likely TO cut an important figure in the
sanitary rehabilitation of Havana, has
been abolished, and the duties on
chemicals, tar and pitch and crude oil
heavily cut. The iron ore and steel
rail duties have been reduced SO per
cent. Coal and agricultural imple-
ments are put on the face list.

I've longed and waited many years.
I've watched the speeches. sea,
But somewhere in the distance sails
the Seaguli far from me;
Each Christmastide l set his chair be-
fore the chestnut fire,
And wait for footsteps at the door to
bring me my desire.
The rose has faded on the mead. and
winter crowns the void,
And in the village Christmas bells
ring out the story old,
But dear to all the world, how In the
soft and scented hay,
In Judah's land beloved by all, the
gentle Christ-child lay.

something unexpressed
Tells me that I shall feel again the
hand so often blessed.
That from the tropics far away, or
from the lands of snow
The missing ship will bring the boy
who left me long ago,
The gulls are screaming where the
waves in fury lash the shore,
And Christmas finds me all alone with
sorrow at my door,
Yet in my heart there blooms fow'r
both delicate and fair
The rope of Hope which angel hands
have sweetly planted there.
Was that the storm king at my door!
Or did l hear a hand?
Who comes to wish me well today DER
snowy sea and land?
This Christmas l would wait alone
within my little home
For Joe, who told me with kiss that
some day he would come.
1t was knock, ope the door. What
stranger guest is this?
Unlike the tall and gallant youth
whose cherished voice miss.
What! back at last? it cannot be, yet
tbs his smile, l know,
And Christmas brings my darling
home despite the swirling snow.
Aye. thro' the tempest and the sea
he comes to keep his word,
And now l know that far above the
widows prayer was heard;
There steals into my little room light
like that which fell
Upon the plains Of Bethlehem when
watched the shepherds well.
/ place him at the table and / look in
to his face.
The while the village bells ring out
their hymns Of peace and grace;
And Joe gives back the same old smile
so full of love and joy,
The smile that made me happy when
he was little boy.

Where kings and princes merry make

And bless the God who brought me Joe
