ANNEXATION NOT A POSSIBILITY, Minister Dnvles Declares That Canadians Have One of the Finest Constitutions lu the World, and Have No Wish to Change Their rolltlcal Helatlons. Washington, Feb. 6. Sir nlehattl Cartwrlght, minister of trade and com merce, and Mr. L. H. Davles,- minister of marine and fisheries of the Cana dian government, called on Sir Julian Paunoefote at the British embassy yesterday, awl later mads an unof ficial visit to the state ' department, where they had a brief Interview with Secretary Olney. As stated by tho ministers today, their mission here is to secure if possible closer trade rela tions with tho United States. The agricultural schedule, as out lined in yesterday's papers, was some thing of a Burpriee and disappoint ment to the Canadians. They had not expected the schedule to bo so far ad vanced by the ways and means com mittee, and were not pleased to Bee the duties on the several Items In creased to the extent Indicated. One of the ministers said that it seemed to him that the two countries could and should agree upon Bome plan which would be mutually helpful. "Of bourse," said Mr. Davles, "We would not ask or expect the United States to grant us any trade conces sion without a certainty that tho re sult would be equally advantageous to her We should expect to give dol lar for dollar, for every benefit re ceived. We are here to see the public men of your country face to face and talk with them. Nothing will ever be accomplished by the legislative bodies of each country passing resolutions favoring this or that scheme. We must get together and have an understand ing. I have no shadow of doubt that we will be able to do something if we get to talk with the leading legis lators of this country. , The people of the two countries de Biro to trade together, and this state of affairs would have been brought about long ago If Bome of the news papers of the United States had not created somewhat of an estrangement. These newspapers have generated falsa impressions on various subjects. One of these Is that of annexation. This is impossible. We are perfectly satisfied with our condition and with our political affairs, but at the same i timo we want the broadest kind of trade relations. That is a business matter In which both countries are In terested. "It is queer that some of the United States newspapers should persist In the foolish Idea that there is anything substantial in the talk of annexation. We havo ono of the freost constitu tions In the world. The people's views are expressed and reflected as fairly and as freely as In any nation in the world. Great Britain never interferes with us.

Dun CWs weekly review of. trade sayst No Im portant ohange in business appears, but the number of manufacturing es tablishments starting much exoeeds the number of those stopping during the week, and so muoh that the cur tailment of working time In many aot ton mills probably does noT lessen the aggregate productive foree or amount of wages paid. There is distinct In crease in orders for woolen goods, some gain In the silk manufacture, a waiting condition, with gain, In one branch of boots and shoes, and Indi cations of better things coming in the iron and steel manufacture. All symp toms are favorable In the money mar ket, and there Is oheerlng evidence of confidence among European Investors. To many It is the most perplexing fea ture of ourrent events that wheat does not rise more, though It has advanced 1 cents for the week. Failures for the week have been 311 in the United States, against 323 for the corresponding week last year, and 03 In Canada against 67 last year. Bradstreets' review says: General trade, whloh was retarded by unfav orable weather a week ago, has re covered somewhat at Chattanooga, Memphis, Birmingham and New Or leans. While the cold weather out Into stocks of heavy gods, It delayed the sales of spring goods. Other relatively favorable trade reports are from St. Paul, Chicago, Minneapolis, 'and St. Louis.

A Michigan Clan Offers to Send Ills Dis covery Tree, Claims to Bo a Benefactor Mankind. to Weakened There Is always more or lew suspicion attached to anything that is offered free but sometimes a nun so overflows with generosity that lie cannot rest until his discovery is known to the world, in order that his fellow men may profit by what he has discovered. It is upon this principal that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich., desires to send free to mankind a prescription which will cure them of any form of nervous debility ; relieves tbem of all the doubt and uncertainty which such men are peculiarly liable to and restores the organs to natural size and vigor. As it costs nothing to try the experiment it would seem that any man, suffering witli the nervous troubles Unit usually attack men who never stopped to realize what might be the final result, ought to be deeply interested iu a remedy which will restore them to health, strength aud vigor, without which they continue to live an existence of untold misery. Aa the remedy In question was the result of many years research as to what combination would be peculiarly effective in restoring to men the strength they need, it would seem that all men suffering with any form of nervous weakness ought to write for such a remedy at once. A request to II. O. Olds, Box 1712, Kalamazoo, Mich., stating that you are not sending for the prescription out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to make use of the medicine by giving It a trial, will be answered promptly aud without evidence as to where Information came from. 1 he prescription is sent free and although some may wonder how Mr. Olds can afford to give away his discovery, there is 110 doubt about the offer being genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr. Olds so that he may know how yon came to write him. ia-28-78t Wanted-An Idea I Who can think of some simple thing to patent?

IMS IN CUBA Promises Made by Spain to the Dissatisfied Islanders. NOT AUTONOMOUS G0VEBNMENT. Hut the rowers of tho Spanish Governor GcnnrM Are Greatly Omtnlleil and the Government I'mctleally l'lnoed fu the Hands of Cuban Council, Madrid, Feb. C The official gazette to-day prints the full scheme of Cuban reform as approved by the queen re gent In a formal decree. The decree la In substance aa follows: The municipalities and assemblies of tho six provinces of the Island of Cuba will enjoy all the liberties compatible with the laws and the respect of indi vidual rights. The aBHcmbliea will have the right to elect its president. In each assem bly there will be an executive commit tee, elected by the assembly, every six months, and Its president will be elect ed by said committed. The mayors and deputy mayors will be elected by the municipalities from among the members. They will exer cise, without limitation, the active functions of the municipal adminis tration as executors of the decisions of the municipalities. The provincial assemblies will have the right to suspend the decision of the municipalities when they ko beyond the limits of the municipal rights, but In this case the municipalities will have the right of appeal to the highest court of the province. The provincial assemblies will have large powers In matters of taxes, In accordance with the geheral and local system of taxation. The appropriations for the provinces and municipalities will be separately made. The governor general and the civil governors of the provinces will only have right ot Intervention In matters of public Instruction to assure the ful fillment of the general laws and com patibility of the municipal and pro vincial appropriations with the ex penses of those establishments. The council of administration of the island will be composed of thirty-five councillors, twenty-one of whom will be elected directly by the people. Nine others will be the presidents of the University of Havana, the Havana Chamber of Commerce and the presi dents of certain industrial and educa tional associations, one representing all the trades associations of Havana, two designated among the taxpayers of the province of Havana, and the other five will be senators or representatives to the cortes who have been elected by the island of Cuba in a greatet number of general elections. The governor general will be hon orary president of the oounoll and the actual president will be nominated by the governor general from among the members of tho council. The members of the cortes, during their term, can not be councillors of administration. In order to be elected councillor, it is necessary to have the same qualifica tions as are required to be deputy to the cortes, and It Is necessary to have resided two years in the island. The cortes will determine the amount of the expenses of sovereignty (impe rial expenses) and will determine the total of the budget. Only in the catsi of the aouncll of administration not having; approved and voted by the first of July, the taxes and revenues necessary to meet the budget approved by the cortes, the irovernor grpnei-al will decree them with the advice of tho lntendente. The council of administration will fix all rules for tho application of cus tom duties, will decide what is most convenient regarding taxes on exports, and will fix or modify the fiscal du ties for revenue on importations in the Island. National products directly Imported to Cuba will enjoy indispensable pro tection, taking into consideration that the taxes on foreign products will be for revenue only; taxes for revenue established by the council of admin istration will be applied alike to for eign and to nutional products; taxes on exports will be equally levied and will not be differential, but It will be possible to except from the rules tho direct exports of Spain for home con sumption; no prohibition on exports will be imposed upon products directly exported for home consumption In Spain. The council of administration will bo consulted over the advislblllty of ne gotiating commercial treaties and con ventions, which it is the intention of the government to negotiate, and this will be d - before the final drafting of the ticrty and Its presentation for approval cf the cortes. Govora.oental employes must be Cu ban born or peninsulars, who havo re sided r.t least two years In the iBland. Thcr.e apolntments will be made by the governor general, with the advice and consent of the council of adminis tration, and with regards to the legal and proper qualifications of tho nomi nees. From this rule are only exoepted the secretary general lntendente, comp troller, dlreotor of local administra tion, director of postal and telegraph service and the civil governors of the six provinces. The governor general will bo author ized to name delegates In the munici palities to exercise executive functions, but In no case will be allowed to Inter fere' with the proper functions of the mayors' municipalities. The date, for the application to Cuba of the law of 18?5 and the present de cree to Cuba and Porto Klco will be fixed by the government as soon as the state of war will permit it.
