• tIM PHRASE OF SETTLEMENT Is Being Discussed Today in Paris in Earnest by Com mission. ■ JOINT SESSION BEING HELD Will Not Necessarily Accept Either of the Propositions Made by the Spanish. By Associated Press. Paris, Oct. 14 —Commander Bradford, of the United States navy, who has arrived here from Washington, was examined this morning by members of the United States peace commission relative to the conditions prevailing and the main features of inter <st at the Philippine islands, with which the commander is well acquainted. Th< fifth joint session of the two com missions convened at 2 o’clock today. It may be said that the first, second and third meetings scarcely penetrated the surface of any protocol point and less still the marrow. Last Tuesday, however, marked the Spanish presentment regarding the Cuban debt which has during the recess brought the Americans to serious preparations for the adjustment of their diplomatic forces and the formulation of the plan upon which they may ultimately stand in rela tion to the Cuban phase of their mission here. It is not unlikely that since Tuesday’s meeting the Americans, who have been exceedingly busy, have determined upon their attitude towards the Spanish propo sition that the United States assume he Cuban debt in whole or in part, and that it has been reduced to writing for prest n tation to the Spaniards at today's session, placing the American view broadly a” to what proportion of the Cuban debt is fair ly chargeable to the island as legal and bcntficlal thereto and what proportion is to be charged to Spain as beneficiary of the so-called Cuban debt. A hasty conclusion, however, should not be drawn from the fact that this careful weighing of the Spanish proposition by the Americans means that they accept either alternative classification of the Cuban obligation, but that rather they are acting on a line and with a purpose to meet every point, raised as exhaustively as presented. They have thoroughly traversed the Cu ban debt views and the proposals submit t< d in writing today and there will be either an oral discussion today or a writ t< n interchange views at the next meet ing.

Manila, Oct. 14. —Rumor here says that Maoa'bulos. chief of the five northern prov inces of the Philippines, has rebelled against Aguinaldo, and that hard fighting has already taken place between -the op posing factlions.

STRONG ARTICLE ON GOOD SUBJECT Endorsement °f an Article in The News Carnival Edi tion by Mrs Platt. MRS. WILLINGHAM'S VIEWS Find a Strong Supporter in Mrs, Platt, President of the Denver Club. Mrs. E. J. Willingham has a finely writ ten article in the Diamond Jubilee edition of the News oh the subject of Macon wo men patronizing home Industrie*. Apro pos of the same idea which Mrs. Willing ham had so cleverly expressed and advoca ted, is the following from Harper’s Bazar: “Mrs Sarah Platt, the new vice presi dent of the Denver Woman’s club, has a novel scheme to present to the thousand wofiien of the last named organization at the opening meeting in October. Not. only as the plan out of the ordinary, but so practical as to sugg.st to other clubs en tirely new lines of endeavor. This special presentation of the plan is to be called ‘Colorado Products -Day.’ “ 'To make a long story short,’ enthusi astically explained Mrs. Platt recently, ‘the idea is to get Denver club women to pledge themselves to purchase Colorado made goods. It is my opinion that the future of our city is in the balance, and it remains with the women to decide whether the thousands of dollars that are expended annually out side of the state shall not be left within our borders. For instance Colorado paid SIOO,OOO last year for starch made out side the state, and I contend, by encouraging home manufactures, mat amount might as well be turned'into Colo rado pockets.’ Mrs. Platt maintained that the club wo men could work wonders, and told a story in illustration. ‘Take shoes,’ she said. ‘The Denver dealers won’t keep Denver made shoes, because the Denver women won’t buy them, simply for the reason they are home made. So six of my friends started out on a little tour of encourage ment. We arranged co visit singly every shoe store in the city and ask for Denver made shoes. In each instance, of course, the salesman politely said he was sorry, but the firm did not carry them, because their customers preferred other makes. The last man I visited,’ concluded Mrs. Platt, ‘looked limp when I asked for Den ver made shoes. ‘We don’t keep them, madam,’ he declared, in exasperation, ‘but by Heaven, we will!’ and they did.’ “Provided the club women take the pledge, (Mrs. IFl'att’s plan is to have the home manufacturer of everything from cambric to crackers, apear in turn each week before the City Improvement Soci ety, which is an offshoot of the Woman’s Club, and show how the particular pro duct is made, how many people are em ployed, and so on. If it is as good as the market affords, then the women are to buy •it in preference to any’ other. “With Mrs. Platt, this project is simply a matter of patriotic duty. Not only does she believe in sustaining her city at home but also in exploiting it abroad, and to this end she has bought up a lot of beau tifully illustrated books on Denver to send as Christmas presents to friends beyond Colorado. ♦ * ♦ The Atlanta Constitution has the follow ing: “Miss Callie Jackson, who represents Atlanta tonight in the pageant and ball to conclude the social side of the Macon Car nival, is a distinguished beauty, typical of the fairest type of Southern woman. She -is tall and majestic in her bearing, with a face patrician in its delicacy of feature. She will be maid of honor to Miss Martha Johnston, the queen of the. Carnival, to night and Atlanta may well feel proud of this fair representative. Miss Jackson will wear an elegdnt toilet tonight of white satin duchesse, fashioned with the tunic skirt, which appears to be three separate skirts, one falling over the other. Each of these is bordered with pearl beads, while the low-cut corsage has its satin drapery caught with strings of the pearl beads. Guipure applique lace is brought in scarf effect from each shoulder to the waist, anR then forming a great pannier effect over the hips, is caught again in the back at the waist line.” Miss Jackson is the guest of Miss Cleve land Smith, who will visit Atlanta later in the season. ♦ * ♦ Mrs. W. C. Jarnigan, of Atlanta, is visit ing Miss Ida Mangham. • a • Two prominent visitors to Macon during the Carnival are Mr. Alfred Newell aaid Lieutenant Isaac Newell. Mr. Alfred Newell is a talented writer, now on t.h*» staff of the Brooklyn Eagle. Lieutenant ' Newell is an officer in the regular United States army and won distinction at San tiago during the recent battles * * • Last night a coaching party was given in honor of Miss Martha Johnston and her maids of honor. The party drove first to Central City park, and witnessed the beau tiful fireworks, and then were spectators at the Venetian Revel. • • • Mrs. McEwen Johnston gives a tea and musicale tomorrow afternoon at 5 o’clock complimentary to Miss Martha Johnston and her maids of honor. • • • Miss Barron, of Qlinton, is visiting her uncle, Dr. R. >B.

TANNER'S MME ONjffill LIP Governor Refuses to Allow Operators to Import La bor to Pana. GUARDS ON EVERY ROAD And Union Miners Turn Out to As sist-the Military in Their Work of Pleasure, By Associated Press. Pana, 111., Oct. 14. —A telegram was re ceived today from Virden saying that in ad probail ity Operator Lukens, of the Chi cago-Virden Coal Company, would attempt to land at Pana the imported negroes, who ofter bloody riots, were shut out of Vir den. 1A conference was imediately held by tel ephone between Captain Harris, of Compa ny G, Aurora. 111., comandiing the militia here, and Adjutant General Reese and Gov ernor Tanner at Springfield. The conference resuilted in the governor ordering Captain Harris to imediately put guards on all of the roads to each of the coal mines and at the approaches to each railroad into Pana and under no considera tion to permit any imported negroes to land in Pana. Captain Harris has only fifty-five men under his command, and was ordered to call on the citizens to assist aim if neces sary. The Union miners, through their presi dent, imediately volunteered their services. Other citizens also volunteered. Captain Harris told them to he in readi neses where he could find them. Thereop on the miners assembled in waiting for the call to arms, while Captain Harris imme diately followed the governor’s instructions and placed a guard on each mine and rail road crossing. The reported coming of the negroes caused the most intense evcitement and the miners and other citizens generally at on e got ready to aid Captain Harris. Governor Tanner’s name is on every miner’s tongue, and he is being loudly praised for the quick action taken to pre vent any more negroes landing at Pana. AT POLICE STATION. Only Six Cases Were Tried .This Morn" inff. The policemen of the city have made very few arrests considering the crowds that have been in the city. The crowds have been very orderly and no disturbances of any 'kind have occurred. Only six ar rests were made yesterday and last night, and one of the largest crowds ever seen in the city was here. Judge Freeman was in an excellent hu mor when he walked into the court room this morning and he was light with al) the offenders. None of the fines amounted to much as all of them were for disorderly conduct. The largest fine was that of F. A. Smith, who was unusually disorderly. He was fined $lO. Nothing gives such an air of refinement to a home as the dainty bric-a-brac found at Stevens’ jewelry store, Second street A New Fish From Trout Eggi. At the fish hatchery at Ukiah, Cal., an odd thing came out this summer in the trout hatching, which has puzzled some of the expei IS. A lot of trout eggs came in from Lake Tahoe, and in the course of hatching out there appeared among the products of these eggs some eighty odd strange fish, a pale lemon colored fish fringed with black, with a pink line alongside, and a bright metallic luster iu general coloration. The authorities were unable to name these fish and are hold ing them in a separate apartment, hoping that they will either turn into regulation trout or get themselves classified as they belong. It would appear that nature has got in another of her mystifying ways and has not consulted the authorities about it at ail. Is it possible that we are to have a few specialties to add to the fantail deer and the horn snake? The fantail deer I take to be now scientifically admitted, not only as a possibility, but as a fact, and I lay much unction to my own soul that I was ahead of the scientist on that and guessed correctly that the old hunters were correct in claiming that there was such an animal. As to those trout, it is as well to be meek, for not even an old hunter has as yet appeared who ever saw anything like them.—Ed Hough in Forest and Stream. Pilgrims to Blaine's Grave. The superintendent of Oak Hill ceme tery in this city says that an average of 30 persons visit that place every day to sec the grave of Mr. Blaine, and four out of every five come to his office to inquire why it is unmarked. Mr. Blaine lies upon the eastern slope of a b- autiful hill by the side of his son Walker and daughter Alice, who was the wife of General Coppinger. There is a small headstone marking Walker’s grave, inscribed simply with his name and the dates of his birth and death. The daughter’s grave is marked by an elahor- tv Celtic cross, which, the inscrip iiuu says, “Was erected by her sorrowing husband.” but the grave of Secretary Blame is marked only by a sin 411 foot stone, a f* w inches square, hearing the letters “J. G. B ” It has I’ecn understood among the friends of t:.e Elaine family that the burial at Oak Hill is only temporary; that Mrs. Blaine ictenus to remote the bodies of her hi.iband and children to Augusta as soon us she can make satisfactory ar rangements for their interment there, and that- is probably the reason why no perma nent monum tit has been erected.—Wash ington Letter m Chicago Record.

An exchange says of “Stuart, the Male Patti,” who will appear as “Isabella,” the Daisy Queen, in the 'big production of “1492” at the Academy of Music tonight and tomorrow: “At the top of the cast comes the best male' impersonator of female characters to be found on the stage—Stuart. His make up is something striking and artistic, and his singing is a marvel. Many persons who saw him for the first time last night, absolutely refused to believe he was a man. “A man might make up like that,” they said, “but one could never sing like that.’’ Nevertheless, the “Isabella’’ of the play is a man. BELIEF SHAKEN Ex-Chief of Police Hanged Today for Murder. By Associated Press. Chicago, Oct. 14. —George H. Jacks, for merly chief of police of Muskegon, Mich., and John Druggan, both convicted mur derers, were hanged on the same scaffold in the county jail this forenoon. Some time before the hanging Jacks sent the following letter to the jailer; ’“Mr. Whitman —'Please do not let any of the clergy in to see me. If I, an inno cent man, can be hanged >today without the right to have the highest court in the land pass upon my case, which is al prepared; if I am refused this right which every man is entitled to, there certainly can be no God above us, and in ithat case the clergy can do no good.” The request was complied with.

Reports From Sackson Are State Discour aging. Jackson, Miss., Oct. 14.—The cold wea ther continues, but the fever reports from the various infected points in the state do not show any perceptible effect on the situation. Fifty new cases and three deaths were officially repoted for yesterday to the state board. No new points of infection, however, -developed, and there is a gen eral feeling thaJt the worst is over and the hold of the fever will soon be broken. Including the 14 cases reported yester day Jackson has had a total of 112 cases with only five deaths. NEW TRIAL For Stevens, the Negro, Who L'dled Ker shaw. John Stevens, the negro, who killed young Kershaw in May, was granted a new trial yesterday by the supreme court. The decision of the court was that the lower court erred in refusing to grant a new trial. Harry Joiner, who was charged with murdering a pedler by the name of Yon, was refused a new trial, and he will have to serve out a life sentence in the state penitentiary. The case of Stevens will probably be heard at the next sesion of the court and it probable that he will be found guilty of manslaughter. 5
