THE CUBAN POSTAL
ARRANGEMENT
President-elect Palma's Representa-
tive Holds Conference with Post
master General Payne.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, April 1O.-President-elect
T. Estrada Palma. of Cuba. and Con-
zalo de Quesada held a conference to-
day with Postmaster General Payne
and other postal officials. They asked
that this government continue the ex-
listing postal arrangements with the ISL
and and that the present postal officials
now in Cuba be kent there until the
Cuban appointees have become thor
oughly familiar with postal operations.
AS a result of the conference the pres
ent postal relations between this gov
eminent and Cuba, including the domes-
tic rates of postage and exchange of
money orders, will be continued by joint
action Of both governments until a pos
tai treaty shall be concluded between
the two governments. The American
officials now on the island will be au-
thorized to remain if they wish to dc
so until the Cuban regime is working
smoothly. A postal convention, prob
ably practically identical with those
now in force between this government
and Canada and Mexico, will be ar
ranged about August /.
Postmaster General Payne informed
Mr.. Palma that the domestic rates of
postage and other postal concessions
will be granted to Cuba when the time
comes to sign a treaty, provided that
Cuba in turn will not grant similar con-
cessions to any country except those
who have similar arrangements with
this government. This has specific rer-
erence to Canada and Mexico. Mr..
Payne stated that it was not proposed
to put the postal business between the
United States and Cuba as within the
United States itself, for the purpose Of
helping the new republic M then have
the latter in turn give the countries of
Europe and elsewhere the same con-
cessions. President Il. Estrada Palma
announced his satisfaction with this
condition,

learned that the pawnbroker had re-
ceived it from a stranger some years
before as security for small loan
and that the owner apparently had
no knowledge of its value.

says Mr.. Bailey, the abandonment of
New England farms should not dis
turb us more than other shifting pop

the lands that are now abandoned
would not have been settled. They
would remain in timber; and now
by the inexorable power of economic
forces. they are returning into for.

an abandoned farm, to make his living

adjacent lands and extending their

people are building cottages and re.

find respite and peace. The remoter
places are passing into forests, and

from wall to wall, are now narrowed
to mere wagon trails, where straw.
berries ripen in June. and goldenrods
bloom In September. There are
abandoned roads. silent avenues of a
rural life that has sunken into the
past. There are school-houses on
these old highways where the wild

where no children go to school. One
