ment has been reached as to candidates.
These conferences have been conducted
upon apparently friendly lines and un-
der the leadership of Senator Murphy
there is an evident disposition for har-
mOny but upon what lines it is difficult
to determine. Absolutely nothing is
known of the different propositions dis
cussed but there are rumOrs Ofall kinds.
Because of the delay in reaching any
agreement it is generally believed that
there is trouble of some sort and many
think that a fight will develop in the
convention. The leaders, however, con-
fidentIy assert that all differences will
be settled during the day and a corn
plete understanding reached before to-
morrow morning when the actual work
of the convention will begin.
The crowd gathered here is undoubt-
edly the largest ever seen at "a state
convention. The great convention hall
is thronged. Tammany has 1000 men
present.
The silver adherents are we'll repre-
sented here. They have had numerous
conferences, the results of which have
been conveyed to the party leaders.
Their demands have not as yet been
formally presented but it is understood
that they will demand some place upon
the ticket for one of their representa-
tives probably Wilbur F. Porter the
partys candidate for governor two
years ago.
Croker is Cheered.
When Mr.. Croker entered the conven-
tiOn hall his appearance caused a tre-
mendous demonstration. A few min
utes later Mayor Mcclure of Syracuse
entered and he also was greeted with
cheers, especially from the galleries.
Senator Murphy also was literally
applauded.
At 12:35 Chairman Elliott Danforth
appeared upon the platform and was
greeted with a great outburst of ap-
plause. He announced that the state
committee had directed him to present
as the temporary officers of the con-
vention George NJ. Palmer of Schoharie
as chairman and as secretaries Calvin
J. Husoa, Thomas E. Benedict, Frank
P Hullett and Clark Day.
Chairman Palmer's address opened
with an expression of opinion that the
signs point Enthusiastically to an over
whelming Democratic victory in No
vember. He charged that the Repubi-
cans had squandered and spent the peo-
pies money. That the laws effected by
them had favored the classes as against
the masses; that many new and need
less offices had been created to reward
political servanS and that laws had
been passed under the Republican
party lash having for their sole object
the protection and fostering of monop-
olies and trusts, thereby suffering the
people to be robbed by practices and
methods which, said the speaker, had
frequently been decided by the court
of appeals, to be criminal

The Peace Commissioners.

New YORK, Dec. 24.-The FIVE
peace commissioners with their wives
aud suite arrived this morning on the
American line steamship st. Louis. All
the commissioners made arrangements
to go at once in body by fast train
to Washington in the hopes OF laying
before President Mckinley, late this
afternoon, full report of their labors
in Paris, including the treaty. Presi.
dent Day of the commission said the
President might make the commission
report public tonight. Senator Frye
said the two points which the Spanish
commissioners resisted most vigorously
were the possession Of the Philippines
and the assumption of the Cuban debt.
"After considerable parrying," he said,
"we made them understand that the ne.
gotiations had better proceed without
such sweeping condition as the exca-
walton Of Manila or they might not pro-
coed ct ALL" Senator Gray, of Della
ware, the only democrat among the
commissioners, said: "TEe treaty
does not force expansion on US. II
the people want expansion they
may have it under the treaty. If
they do not, it will not be nee
esssry for US TO keep the Philippines
any longer than is necessary to dispose
of them as we see fit"

175 million Mohammedans and $40 mil
lion hesthens, so that of the population
of the world, nineteen hundred years
after Christ was born, his name, if
ever heard of, is myth to
nearly two-thirds. But to the
remaining third the anniversary
of His birth is a season of JOY
and festivity, Of peace and good will
among men, when custom and associa
ton make all mankind kin. So that
no matter how many troubles men and
women have, and the Lord knows all
have enough, they should put them
aside for the time and abandon them
selves to the delights OF the season and
let Joy be unconfned. Christmas is es-
pecially the glad time of children's life,

From Manila

MANILA, Dec. 24.-On Decent or .,
the insurgent Congress at MaloIo.
adopted unanimously the Filipino con
stitutiop, which had been under G;a
cussion by that assembly for weeks
Aguinaldo and his cabinet had fnn,
approved the constitution preylops ~
its adoption and yesterday t meetipC
of the council Aguinaldo submitted :
draft of his proposed message to cor
gress. He discussed the present orr
cial condition of the relations Of rbo
Filipinos with the Americans. and nro
posed temporary suspension ofcettsin
sections of the constitution which Iimi-
the powers of the President and want.
ed to add other sections conferring ab.
solute power upon the President
throughout the continuation of the eT
listing situation. He desired the add.
ton of section giving the presidents
the right to declare War without can.
sultiug congress.
These proposals created great sur.
prise in the council. There was lirie
discussion, but much opposition.
AguinaIdo's sudden change Of mimi
was attributed by the members n
the council to the advice of man mt
member of the cabinet who is aDner.
emily more powerful with Aguin9l5o
than they. The cabinet proposed 10
resign in order that this man might
form new ministry and AgupaIio
proposed to resign himself, but lhl. was
merely bluff. Finally the cabinet re-
signed and Aguinaldo's friend is trying
to form new one.
The whole trouble may mean simply
the opposition of the cabinet to the in.
fuence of an outsider. More probably
however, it is the first break agsins,
Aguinaldo;s attitude toward the Amer.
cans and also demonstration of oppo-
sition to his reaching out for dictator,
