4 SCANTY CONCESSION.
OF SHORT DURATION
he Boston Transcript,

From The Boston transcript.
The concession which the Republican conference
on Tuesday night agreed TO make to Cuba is so
limited IN amount and time and SO hedged about
with conditions that IL will be of little benefit to
the industries Of the island. If il is approved by
Congress ii will expire by limitation on September l.
1903, and it is contingent on the adoption by the
Cuban Republic Of our immigration laws and on
the granting of reciprocal advantages by that gov
eminent to trade. As the Cuban Government
does not come into official being until May l. and
considerable time must necessarily be given to
setting its machinery in motion. negotiations with
ii cannot be carried into effect until the Cuban
agents have received their credentials Thus the
life Of the reciprocity arrangement will be cur
tailed by the time taken up in negotia lions, and
will be in effect of little more than years dura-
ton. That such narrow and closely limited ar
rangement will have much effect the trade of the
two countries is not natural expectation, since
its will not greatly even noticeably stimu-
late the development of those Cuban products on
which the purchasing power OF the island depends

it into lines of fairly equal length:

''Dok'ritsu jison" means literally independence
and self-respect. The expression was frequent
ly used by the late Mr.. Fukuzawa. founder of
the Keio-Gijuku. to convey the fundamental
idea on which he built his tenets of moral teach
ing.

WILL HAVE OPTION ON TAPESTRIES.
J. A GARLAND SAYS THE ESTATE WOULD PRE-
FER THAT HIS GRANDPARENTS CoLLEC-
TON SHOULD GO TO THE MUSEUM

A report was published yesterday that the colIec-
ton of tapestries lent by the late James a Gara nd
To the Metropolitan Museum OF Art had been Of
fered for sale by the Garland estate and that the
museum had given no sign of even desiring to be
its purchaser
Regarding this story. General Louis P di CesnoIa
director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art said
yesterday a Tribune reporter:
The writer seems to think the museum is already
in possession of the Rogers millions and therefSrs
has plenty of money. But haven't a cent for
the purchase of the collection. We as poor as
ever, and do not know when shall come into
however, that the collection cannot be taken away
from the museum before May ). 1t has been here
seven years, and has been lent from six months 10
months
did not know anything about the proposed sale
of the collection before l read the article to-day
but | am surprised to hear that il is for sale
When il goes however, there will be left in the
museum a single object TO commemorate the mem
ory of Mr.. Garland, who was one Of trustees
In regard to the defeat by the New-Jersey SEN
ate of the bill intended to relieve the museum from
the payment of a collateral inheritance tax on the
bequest of Jacob S. Rogers, by extending the ex-
emptons of charitable. religious educational in
situations in New-Jersey to include those OF other
States. General di Cesnola did not to make
James A Garland grandson of the late James A
Garland. said yesterday that the trustees OF rho
museum would have an option on the collection as
tan Museum of Art rather than TO any other arr
gallery or to any private person. There was NO dis
position 10 the trustees and every Opportunity
would be given them to purchase the tapestries IL
they so desired. If the money was not ayaila NE

length of time

THEIR DEFEAT WORTH SOMETHING

From The Indianapolis News.
1t is worth something have the beet sugar
crowd beaten-though we have doubt that most
of the beet sugar people reasonably well salts
fed If il had not been for their opposition the re-
duction would have been at least so per cent In
opposing any concessions, they have prevented any
reduction that is really important and in this
sense they have victory. The case resembles
that of the litigant who demands three or four
times as great damages he expects to get and
who is entirely satisfied with the verdict of the
jury scaling his demand. So the beet sugar people
demanded that there should be no reduction They
could hardly have expected TO carry that point
But by their vigorous and radical campaign they
have prevented any such reduction as would hurt
