Wae llie SiMy of Peace
Commissioners .Yesterdaij.
DDKS ARE TREACHEROUS.*
They Would Depart From the
Terms of the Protocol.
Paris, Oct. 13. —The sitting
yesterday of the joint peace
commissions of the United
States and Spain were devoted,
according to the Gauloia. to an
examination of tlie solution
which it is possible to give to
two questions in the protocol.
The Philippine question, the
Gauloia adds, was discussed in
cidentally, the United States
commissioners seeking to im
pose a system of compensation
for claims connected with the
entire group by assuming the
debt, provided Spain guarantees
the Cuban debt.
The Spaniards, it ’further ap
pears, wish the United States to
assume the Cuban debt and to
hand over to Spain all the ma
terial in Cuba and Porto Rico.
Hie discussion, according to
the Gauloia, was very animated.
Judge Day, the president of the
American commission, and Se
nor Montero Rios, the president
of Rhe Spanish commission
having received precise instruc
tions from their respective
governments, the Americans
consider that they cannot dis
cuss the principles forming the
base of the protocol, to which
the Spanish commissioners re
ply that the protocol was signed
ata critical moment and under
a pressing necessity ; that it can
not be considered as expressing
the free will of a free nation.
The American peace commis
sion at 5 o’clock today engaged
in its first function outside of
purely diplomatic lines. The
Figaro entertained the members
of both commissions with a stage
performance, in which Coquelin,
Loie Fuller and others took
part. The occasion was informal
and pleasing.
Another Painful Impression.
drid, Oct. 13.—The ru
mors which have been published
as to the attitude of the United
States peace commissioners are
described as having caused a
painful impression, especially
the reported decision of the
American commissioners not to
recognize the Cuban and Porto
Rican debts.
STOLE HIS PURSE,
Robber Enters Judge Codins
Room and Relieves His Pocket.
Last Swturday night Judge
Aaron Collins spent the night with
Mr. J. D . Wiikersou, and when
he got up Sunday morning he dis
covered that the room in which U j
slept had been entered through a
window during the nigh*, and his
puree which was in hie pants pock
et, was gone.
The pocketbook contained about
thirty-three dolla-e, and among
other pieces us coin there was a
fifty cent gold piece which the
Judge valued very highly because
it had belonged to his wife before
they were married. There were
also several other uire pieces of
money in the purse which he was
keeping.
There was no clue left by the
thief by which to trace him, and
he has escaped with his booty.—

shapeless shoes look like new
ones. No man is well dressed
whose shoes are not trim and
shapely, and when you can buy
a pair of our handsome stylish

$3.00 there is no use waisting
time and labor, and sacrificing
your self-respect for th.it
amount. You will get twice that

ARBITRATION SUGGESTED
A Report Is Expected From
Marchand In a Few Days.
Paris, Oct. 13 —According to
La Libre Parole, Foreign Minister
Delcass has baen informed that
his telegram to Major Marchand,
asking for a report regarding bis
position at Fasnoda, has been de
livered and tl e report should ar
rive in Paris on Cot. 10. Th* paper
suggests that France’s best reply
to England would be to ask for an
international conference to settle
the Egyptian question.
The E’Clair declares the French
people are on there mettle and
will under no pretext permit a re
treat pure and simple.
“We should remain at Fasho
da,” the paper declares, “notwith
standing the threats of the British
Cabinet.”
The Siecle pointing out, that
he fact that the only way of com
luunicatiug with Marchand .is
through British intermediary,
shows Marchand’s real position,
and add>:
“France will gain nothing by
opposing the British project of
uniting the Caj e Colony and
Egypt.”
A prominent French diplomat is
q.i.'*ed in Gaulois as saying: • >
•iktissia is with us and Emper
or William’s abandonment of his
Egyptian tour shows his desire not
to com plicate matters Let us have
a well-defined policy and England
will then be compelled to speak.,
plain’y. ”
England i = said to have' with
held her ultimatum.
REFER TO ARBITRATION.
St. Petersburg, 0ct..13. —Sever-
al Russian newspapers express the
opinion that the on'y rational
method of solving the Fashoda
question is to refer the matter to
arb’tration in order to preclude
every danger of war - Diplomatic
ipimon here concurs in this view.
