FRANKLIN SOCIETY.
First Lecture of the Fall Course Delivered
BY Mr.. Fretwell.

The first lecture i'm the fall course
before the Providence Franklin society
was given last evening at its rooms by
Mr.. John Fretwell. His subject was
Society In Spain as Painted by Jesuit
Priest"
Mr. Fretweil said that our victories In
the last 100 days had been made easily
possible by the fact that for more than
100 years a process of social and politi
cal decentralization had reduced Spain to
n state of weakness. To show this was
the object of his lecture. and by the
testimony OF Spanish writer. Mr..
Fretwell explained that truthful his
tories cannot exist in Spain, and that
these writer's have To disguise political
and historical facts in novels, as has
been recently so much done in France.
He had selected a novel. by Father
Luis Coloma, called "Trifes" and pub
nshed first in the Messenger of the
Heart OF Jesus at Bilboa. The time OF
|: the story was between the years 1871
and 1873. He made n careful analysis
of the book, and then by numerous ref
erences from history showed that dur
ing the last 100 years the chief enemy OF
Spain had been it's own rulers.
In CUBA and Porto Rico, said Mr..
Fretwell. we Americans have caught
q Tartar and have got to keep him.
Shall we govern these islands az well
as England has modernly governed her
colonies. or shall we introduce our own
boss" methods? He considered that
under the circumstances that exist that
a first requisite Is that administrators
sent there should have full knowledge
OF the Spanish language. and he was
xlad to say that Brown university had
made an excellent beginning with its
Spanish classes, now well attended.
At the close OF the meeting n vote of
thanks was given the lecturer. The next
lecture will be duly notified TO members

state Attorney Fessenden. who had
requested the Scotland Yard bureau 10

ceived a cable that "a woman answering

one marked Clifford" one GIN and
one "Guiford." The detective followed
her to London, where she is under sur
veillance. Attorney Ftssenden at once
communicated with Washington, and
cable has been sent TO the United States
embassy, through the state department.
to have the woman arrested on pro-
visional charge pending the arrival OF
extraditiun papers.
The law OF England requires that
prima facie case must be established
before extraditon will be granted, and
yesterday the case was prepared at
headquarters. Affidavits Of Oxley and
the two Drayton women were submitted
relative To the fact that Emma Gill went
to Mrs. GuilfoId's house for treatment,
land superintendent Birmingham de-
posed that Emma Gilis body had been
found and fully identified.

tion received at later date, and imme-

was a clever one, and proved being very
near successful in throwing the officers
off the scent.
Superintendent Birmingham still re-
fuses to tell what discoveries were made
when the plumbing in the Guilford house
was examined. but as he had previously
stated that the arrest OF Mrs. Guilford
was the only thing lacking to conclude
the case. II goes without saying that
there is no lack OF evidence against the
participants in the gruesome tragedy.

WITHOUT A SLATE
The New York Democrats Meet at
Syracuse
1t 10 Expected All Differences Will
BE Settled Tomorrow.

Syracuse, n. Y. Sept. 2S.-The DEM
ocratic state convention convened here
at noon today absolutely without a
slate or program other than the tenn
porary organization agreed upon in the
state committee last night. 1t is in
many respects the most remarkable
political convention ever held. Never
before have all the prominent leaders
of the Democratic party appeared in
convention and consulted as TO pro-
gram without result.
Because OF the delay i'm reaching any
agreement. IL is generally believed that
there is trouble OF some sort, and many
believe that fight will develop In the
convention. The leaders, however, as
sert that all differences will be settled
during the day. and a complete under
standing be reached before tomorrow
morning, when the actual work OF the
convention will begin. The crowd gath
cred here is undoubtedly the largest
ever seen at state convention. Tam
many Hall is very largely represented,
fully 1000 braves being in attendance.
After the convention opened Chair
man Danforthsannounced that the state
committee had directed him to present
as the temporary chairman of the con-
vention the Hon. George M. Palmer OF
Schoharie.

FOR ANNEXATION.
Meeting Held at East Providence
Last Evening.
James A. Pirc. OF This City Made an In
teresting Address.

The Annexation Association OF East
Providence held a meeting last evening.
DR.. Simeon Hunt presiding, in the Dis
trict court room, for the purpose OF
favoring the movement James a.
Pirce of Providence made an address
in favor OF the plan.
He discussed the difference between
the town and the city, as conducted at
present. The town form was the sue
cessor of the old New England idea. the
town meeting. That was satisfactory
In small rural community. In larger
towns there was liable to be friction
from this form. When the community
got to a large size IL was difficult To
transact business i'm a meeting of all
the voters. A compact community was
much like "A big corporation. ana as
the directors managed the business of
the stockholders, SO i'm the city form OF
government i'm which the councilmen
and aldermen transacted the business,
there was an advantage over the town
form,
In general, the time arrived for
city form of government where
the community was fairly large and
the houses so near together that they
needed sewers. police. lights, paved
streets and all those things. 1t also
became necessary TO change from the
town system when there were two sec
tions i'm the town of conflicting inter-
ests-the compact part, that needed i'm
provements. and the agricultural por-
tion, that didn't need them and OBJ
jected to being taxed for them. The
conditions in that respect were quite
similar i'm the town of East Providence
10 what they were in Johnston.
1t was a mistake to think the town
could save on the matter of taxation by
remaining "A town. II was not economy
10 have a low tax rate and not to have
the improvements that We're needed.
Without improvements investors could
not be drawn into the town. BY going
into Providence and getting the advan-
tages that accompanied annexation, in
vestors would be attracted to that sec
tion. An argument used against an
nexation was the loss OF representation
in the Legislature. but III the section
had good men representing II in the
council and board of aldermen, it's
rights and interests would be looked
out for.
After the address, the resignation Of
j. r.. g. Farnham as vice president was
accepted, and Clarence A. Brewer was
elected i'm his place. The following Of
ficers were elected Second vice-p -presi
dent. Rev. II. l.. Johnson: third vice

Instructions TO Spanish
Commissioners.
WHAT SPAIN HOPES FOR.
II Is That the Americans Will Not
Abuse the Situation.
PARIS NEWSPAPERS OPINION.

Paris, Sept 2s.--The United States
peace commission went into session at
III o'clock this morning.
The Gaulois says: I'm spite of the
mystery surrounding the matter, we
are able. from a high source, TO give an
outline of the position of both commits
sions. While the Americans have in
than those of the Spaniards. there is a
diversity of opinion i'm regard 10 the
Philippines. Senator Gray is "A very
ardent Democrat and consequently, be-
longs TO the party which repudiates ex-
pansion. He opposes all annexation.
and his opinion, therefore. totally diff
fers from that of the other four COM
missioners, some of whom would be
content with a coaling station at the
Philippines, possibly Cavite, while
others, like Senator Davis, advocate the
annexation of the whole of the archi-
pelago."
The Gaulois, however. believes that
the Americans by mutual concessions
will come TO an agreement, and that
they will all largely be influenced by
Maj. Gen. Merritts reports on the sit
uation.
The instructions to the Spanish COM
mission. still according to the Gaulois.
are. briefly, to hold out and make the
best terms possible. Madrid is well
aware, it says, that the conferences at
best will only have to please the Span
ish people, and the only hopes enter
tanned are that the Americans will not
abuse the situation too much. Popular
sentiment in Spain, IL is added, thinks
il better to abandon the Philippine ISL
ands than to keep them under condi-
tions rendering them ungovernable.

sinks and work at the laying out of
football grounds.
