ing turned in to newspaper offices and
credited to those who returned them.
Among those who spoke on the question
was Mr.. Moy of Pawtucket, r. I. 1t was
pointed out that, as the newspaper pub.
fishers could not be got to refuse to take
back copies, the next best thing was to
fasten the newspapers SO as to be q
notification to the publishers that the
paper had BEEN read and returned to the
dealer for his own profit. 1t was stated
that some of the men who got people to
return the newspapers allowed the patrons
to have the paper for a little less each
week.
The groups of men and boys standing
at the ferries and railway stations beg
ging for papers was deprecated. 1t was
pointed out that the fastening of the
right hand corner of newspapers would
be of only local benefit as the fastening in
transit might be broken and great in
Justice done to outside new sdealers. The
election of officers resulted as follows:
Thomas f. Martin, New York, president;
4. g. Quinn, New York, treasurer; f.
r. Sampson, Nav York, secretary; G. +.
Petite, Bridgeport, Conn, custodian; j.

NO FURTHER USE FOR IT.
The Spanish Cortes Has Been
PrOrOgued.
1T ENDED WITH ANOTHER STORMY
SESSION OF THE SENATE.

Duel Is Expected Between Count AL

DeIay-spain Hears an Indemnity VIII
Be Dema nded,
Madrid, September i4-Premier Sagasta
has obtained the Queen Regents sigma
ture to decree proroguing the Cortes
and with 1t ended a stormy session Of the
Senate.
General Primo de Rivera had demanded
an inquiry into his administration of the
Philippines. and in so doing he said the
attacks of Count Almenas were only "Ht
for the mouths of a .misera BILE sIanderer."
Count Almenas was endeayoring to reply
when Senior Sagasta read the decree pro-
roguing the Cortes.
Count Almenas and General Rivera,
separately approached the President in .
hostile manner and duel is expected,
Premier Sagasta afterwards read the
decree In the chamber of deputies.
1t is expected that the Spanish peace
commissioners will be appointed without
delay.
A painful impression has been caused
here by statement made by the Pals,
saying the United States intends to de-
mand $40, COZ, 600 in behalf of the Ameri-
can citizens who have suffered through
the Instruction in Cuba.
The Spanish peace commissioners will
strongly oppose this, it is claimed but
fears prevail that the United States will
become pitiless and press Its advantage to
the utmost.

Purely ConjecturaI - Administration
Not Gone Further Than Determination
to Retain Luzon.
Washington. September 14.-Three
members of the Peace Commission, Score
tary Day, Senator Davis and Whitelaw
Reid, were in conference for two hours at
the State Department today. Senator
Frye, it was stated would arrive toInor-
row morning. The plans of Senator Gray,
the fifth member, are not exactly known,
although he is expected to join his asso-
ciates in their conference tomorrow.
The President will give dinner at the
White House tomorrow night, at which
the commissioners will be the principal
guests, all the members of the Cabinet in
the city, also being present. The COM
missioners will leave here Friday in order
to take the Campania on Saturday.
The meeting at Secretary Days office
today was for the purpose of going over
the whole question of the peace SETTLE
ment. Tt is the first time Mr.. Reid had
exchanged views with his colleagues on
the subject.
Members of the commission stated
nositivelv that all reports relative to the
instruc. ion of the commissioners, or the
attitude of the United States were purely
ooniectural, and that they had agreed
amonn themselves to authorize no state
ment of their views as body or as In.
dividuals.
In official quarters much satisfaction
was expressed today over the report from
Madrid that the lower house OF Parl1a-
menu had passed the governments Dill, ac-
ceptine the terms of the protocol The
upper house already has passed tnls meas
ure. e.
There is little doubt that a general line
of policy was agreed upon between the
President and his Cabinet at their meet
ing late yesterday afternoon. 1t IS not
doubted that the commission Will start
the negotiations at Paris with the asser-
tion that we have conquered Spain IN Inc
Philippines and that Spanish soverei gnty
has already been forfeited there. This
will not, however, necessarily signify
that it is the purpose of the administra
ton to retain possession of the entire
group of islands or to permanently de-
nrive Spain of all her possessions In the
Pacific. 1t is not believed that the ad-
ministration has gone beyond the deter
mination to retain the whole of the island
of Luzon, but it is understood to be the
intention of the Presto emit to establish at
at the outset the right of this government
to determine the fate Of the islands end
to make the conditions under which gov
eminent shall be established there.
The matter of relinquishing possession
of the rest of the Islands is involved with
so many conditions to be considered that
it is realized that it may by force of
circumstances become necessary to deprive
Spain permanently of all her possessions
in that quarter 1t is understood not to
be matter of policy to acquire all this
territory, but it may become necessity.
