Although the commissions met at j 3:30 o’clocK. expecting to finish thplr work in half au hour, the engrossing of the treaty on parchment wa* found to bn so troublesome that It delayed the signing of the dorum'mt until 8:20.

The Spanish copy had arrived a half hour earlier. Mr. Arthur Fergu son then proceeded to read first his and after that the Spanish version of the treaty. This finished, two copies were passed around ths table, the commissioners signing them in trie order of their rank: William R. Day, Senator Cushman K. Davis, Senator William F. Frye, Whitelaw Reid, and Senator George Gray; S.-nor Montero Rios, Senor Aburrzuza, Senor Garnlca, Senor Vil iauratia, and General Ccrero y Saons, each commissioner signing its oppo nonet’a treaty. Both were tied with tbe Spanish and American colors. When the seals were prepared to be affixed attendants were sent scurrying j for ribbons of the French tri-coiot, with which the documents were sealed as a compliment to the Frencu hosts of tbe commissions.
