Mckinley Checred by Goorglans.

President Mckinley participated in
the southern peace jubilee at Atlanta,

most intense enthusiasm when he said:
Sectional lines no longer mar the map
of the United States. Sectional feeling
no longer holds back the love we bear
each other. Fraternity is the national
anthem, sung by chorus of 45 states
and our territories at home and beyond
the seas. The Union is once more the
common altar of our love and loyalty,
our devotion and sacrifice. The old
flag again waves over us in peace with
new glorieS which your sons and ours
have this year added to it's sacred folds.
y Every soldiers grave, made dur
ing our unfortunate civil war, is trib-
ute TO American valor. And the time
has now come in the evolution of senti-
ment and feeling under the providence
of God, when in the spirit of fraternity
we should share with You in the care
OF the graves OF the Confederate sol
diers. The cordial feeling now happily
existing between the north and south
prompts this gracious act and if it
needed further justification it is found
in the gallant loyalty to the Union
and the flag, so conspicuously shown
in the year just passed by the sons and
grandsons of these heroic dead"
The Southrons almost went wild in
their pleasure at these words and it is
generally conceded that the President
address has marked an epoch in
history.

President Mckinley has signed an
executive order establishing a 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 a general reduc-
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 go into force, with some
few exceptions, are greatly below the

new tariff has been framed with view
to the rehabilitation of the island. The
duty on paving stones, which arc
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
