WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Postmaster
General Emory Smith will dispatch a COM
mission to Porto Rico shortly to examine
into the postal necessities there and make
recommendations for the establishment of
a complete service. This order has not been
formally approved by the postmaster gen.
eral, but the following persons recon-
mended for appointment on the commission
without doubt will be chosen: Major j. E.
Stuart chief of the commission, who for
many years has been in the service of the
department in the Chicago division and who
was offered the position of postal agent at
Santiago after the death of Mr.. Eben Brew
er, but being connected with an Illinois regi-
ment preferred to stay with the army; Mr..
William NJ. Mooney, OF Wheeling. W. Va.
Of the third assistant postmaster generals

connected with the Postoffice Department
for some time. The commission will go over
the ground thoroughly, select places for
offices and incorporate the results of their
work in a report to the postmaster general
This report probably will be submitted to
Congress as a basis for legislation. The
postal arrangements at Santiago are re-
ported to be working in a satisfactory man
ner and there is some talk of establishing
free delivery system there.

THE PEACE COMMISSION.
Conference mt the White House-Five
Members in All

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The first meet
ing of a majority of the American peace
commissioners took place to-day at the
State Department when, at II O'clock Sec
retary Day was joined by Senators Davis
and Frye. Prior to this the senatorial MEM
bership of the commission had had a con-
ference of two hours with the President
Secretary Day was not present at the White
House meeting, so that after getting the
views of the President the senators went
to the State Department and for an hour
and quarter remained closeted with Sec
retary Day. Assistant Secretary Moore
who is likely to accompany the commission
to Paris in an advisory capacity was pres
ent part of the time. Mr.. Macarthur, first
secretary of the American legation at
Madrid under General Woodford was also
called in.
As result of the meeting it can be
stated with positiveness that Messrs. Day.
Davis and Frye are members of the peace
commission 1t is understood that the re-
naming two members have been selected
and will be announced by Saturday. At the
meeting to-day the general plans of the
commission as TO proceeding to Paris were
talked over and an understanding reached
that the start be made between Sept. Is and
90 The exact day was left open in order to
permit further conference with all the
members of the commission. No definite ar
rangements have been made thus far as to
securing quarters in Paris but this will be
left to Ambassador Porter, the plans of
meetings to be arranged between Mr. Por-
ter the Spanish ambassador at Paris and
the French officials. The session will be
held in the Salon des Ambassadors,
through the courtesy of the French gov
ernment
Aside from these formalities, the commits
sioners went into some of the more serious
questions of policy which will come before
them. Much of the preliminary work has
been done by the State Department officials,
such as the collection of the documents,
treaties, books and maps which will be used
by the commissioners abroad. The commits
sioners expect to be occupied for several
days in a discussion of the more important
matters 20 come before the tribunal and in
the preparation of the American side of the
case. The question whether the negotia-
tions of the Spanish case would be in the
