PARIS, Oct. 6.-The United States
peace commission held its usual session
yesterday. The commissioners contin-

Merritt and practically concluded an
extended canvass of the Philippine sit.
uation
The members of the commission re-
fused to disclose the views of General
Merritt or Admiral Dewey in regard to
the policy to be pursued toward the
people of the Philippines. Nothing
could be learned as to whether the gem
eral or admiral had recommended the
retention or the evacuation of the Phil
ippine islands by the American forces,
The United States ambassador, Gen
eral Horace Porter, gave dinner last
evening to the American peace commits

General Porter today will take the peace
commissioners and their wives to Yer
sailles in four-in-hand coach. They
will return to Paris this evening.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-It can be stated
on authority that the various stories
published relating to the work of the
peace commission now in Paris, wher-
ever they assume to indicate failure
Of negotiations, renewal of hostilitles
and the dispatch of naval force to the
Spanish coast are purely speculative.
AS a matter of fact, the commission has
not progressed SO far with its work as
to warrant attempt to a conclusion as
to the outcome. 1t is not even possible
to predict the lenghth of the session
with any accuracy.
The Spanish government is now fully
informed through its commissioners of
the exact extent of Americas demands,
Whether these are absolute and not
subject TO abatement cannot be ascer-
tanned here, for the responsible officials
declare that it would be extremely bad
policy to make any admission on this
point.
Admiral Dewey is one of the most
trusted counsellors of the American
commissioners. Such information as
he has been able to collect has already
been mailed to the commissioners. and
III addition the authorities here have
cabled certain extracts from the ad.
miraPs observations which are believed
to be of special Importance just now
1t is believed that with his usual mod.
esty, the officer has refrained from ex.
pressing any opinion upon the very es-
sential point as to the extent of the
American demands in the matter of
territory in the Philippines.
He has not directly suggested that the
whole group be taken, nor that our
claim be limited to Manila bay and the
contiguous territory, but he has called
attention to one very important consid-
Grafton which has seemed to escape gen.
eral observation up to this time, and
which has been laid before the Ameri.
can commissioners. That is, that with
all the advantages in commercial way
possessed by Manila, the place is indie
feasible unless Subig bay be also held
by the United States. This particular
bay is, on the whole, regarded as being
superior, from strategic point of view,
to Manila bay, and the Spanish govern.

Little Danger of General Spread of
Yellow Fever.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Cdr. Wyman of
the marine hospital service yesterday
eceived an official report covering the
yellew fever situation in Mississippi.
In Jackson there are six new cases re-
ported, two at Harrison. two at Taylor,
three at Water Valley, three at Madi-
son and one at Trenton. Mortality
among the patients throughout the vel
low fever districts is said to be light
and although the fever is on the in
crease, there is believed to be no dan
ger of its general spread.

Satn remal kahlc conditions as VIII obtain
when battles arc fought under the water
instead Of in tho water.
The first difficulty encountered by those
WHO study the subject is how on earth, or
rather on sea it will be possible to locate
n boat that travels under water. Even
though tie vessel that seeks to find Icr
with hostile intent is able herself to sink
beneath tho waves, how can the great
depth Of tho ocean bo searched successful
" for such u tiny thing as a 50 foot boat
that may be fathoms deep or may be with
in few feet of the ono that seeks her
without either knowing Of the close proy-
unity: Warfare under such II state OF
things woul,! seem 10 DO almost al impos
sibility, hut somo think the days OF ocean
lighting will not die with the construc
ton of submarine nhvies.
Ono feature Of submarine encounters
horrible to contemplate is that no inkling
Of the fate that befeil the boats would ever
como to the surface in the event of an on
counter proving fatal. Beneath the surface
of the water the hostile submarine craft
would fight it out with only the fishes as
witnesses of tho duel, and should both be
blown up, aa will be not unlikely where
the weapons are so destructive and so
easily used, the boats will sink to the bot
tom without "a ripple having appeared
above to inform the world of the fate Of
tho fighters. ! Il submarine boats crew
will say goodby to friends with tho kncwl-
edge that they may never be heard OF
again after they dive beneath the waves
on hostile GRAND.
1t is difficult to imagine more terrible
encounter than this one. There Will 10
none of the noise ana grandeur Of q battio
under tho conditions of II naval fight on
tie surface Of the ocean. The crews Of tho
submarine toats, shut in hermeticaily
sealed case, will hear nothing and prob
ably sec little of tho effect of their on
slaught on the enemy. There will be no
cheers of victory to make dying less bitter
to he fatally wounded War Will be rob

REAL DETECTIVES.
They Arc Not the Kind Described In
Thrilling Fiction.


eff man is cut out for detective work, "
says exChief Of Police Byrnos of New
York 1.-THE fact will manifest itself at an
early age. Idon't mean that every Young
fellow who soaks his mind in SO called
detective literature is preordained de-
tective. Quito the reverse.
''As to u practical way by which to start
upon detective career an somewhat in
doubt. Perhaps the real truth is that there
is no royal road. l myself began as an
ordinary police patrolman on Dec. 10, 1868,
but it is Il question whether routine patrol
work has its advantages. In one sense it
is Il detriment, in another benefit The
man in uniform has little chance of get
ting to know criminals-a particularly
useful possession for the detective His
brass buttons are a warning sign, and all
the thieves, banko men and the like give
him a wide berth. On the other hand, the
patrolman's 5 life gives young man habits
of discipline and obedience. Then, too, a
lucky chance may givo a patrolman the
opportunity of showing certain talents
which will win him place on the regular
detective force. During my incumbency
of the detective force chcfship it was my
habit to keep a sharp lookout for promis-
ing young patrolmen. If l learned of any
such, sent for them and gave them a
months trial. During tho month they
had the power and the time to show tho
sort of stuff they were made of. believe
the same custom is in vogue in tho police
bodies of all big American and European
cities.
But let mo caution tho intending detect
i've to keep away from all fiction protesting
to describe the pursuit. Even the better
class of literature of this kind is harmful,
because it is untrue. Take Conan Doyle's
Sherlock Holmes. 70 Il practical detect
i've it is absurd from start to finish. Tho
young man who fancies he could mako
himself detective by diligent study of
works such as those of Doyle, Gaboriau or
Du Boisgobey, is grievously mistaken.
Amateur 'sleuthing' is somewhat dan
gerous bat if the amateur be Il brainy and
discreet youngster he may pick up many
points in this way and eventually work
himself into a successful position. Iwould
