A woman's Burden.

From TIE Erening Ns,es. Detroit. Mich.
The women Of to-day are not as strong as

clouding their happiness.
Mrs. Alexander b. Clark, OF AT Michigan

day. A wife with such ambition ~ only n
loving wife can have. But the Joys OF hcr
lifc were marred by the existence OF dis
ease.

Pressure Has Been Brought to Rear On
San Domingo.
New York. Nov. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Pressure Is being brought to bear on the
San Domingo government to secure the
payment OF the Ozama bridge award.
This award was made two months ago
in favor of Nathaniel Mckay of this
city. II amounted to a little more than
$50. 900. one-fourth of which was to be
paid at once and the rest In three
equal instalments OF $4,000 each.
The second payment Is due next
month. The first payment has never
been satisfied. and the administration
recently gave some consideration to the
propriety OF dispatching a man-of-war
to San Domingo TO collect the award.
A communication has been received
from the minister OF foreign affairs OF
ernment will soon settle the first pay
ment. and IL Is expected delay will be
asked with reference to the payment Of
the second installment. II In not in
tended by this government to wait upon
San Domingo any length of time.
Should the necessity arise. which. how
ever. Is not anticipated. no doubt ex-
lists that the authorities will send a
man-of-war to San Domingo to hasten
the payment.
The state department has been in
formed by the minister to Peru that
one house of the Peruvian congress has
passed a bill appropriaong the amount
of the award in the famous McCord
claim. and there is little doubt that SIM
liar action will be taken by the other
house. Upon its approval by the presi-
dent a check will be sent to the state
department. which will hand It to the
claimant

The President Reiterstes His Instructions
to the Commissioners.
Washington. Nov. 25.-A special meet
ing of the cabinet was held at 10 o'clock
tonight. All the members were with
the president, except Secretary Long,
who was out OF the city. The meeting
was called by the president in order
that his advisers might consider with
him advices received this evening from
the American peace commissioners at
Paris 1t il understood the advices re-
ferred to counter-proposals informally
made to the Americans by the members
on the commission OF the Madrid gov
ernment.
At the conclusion Of the meeting.
which lasted only 40 minutes and
which was held in the parlors OF the
white house, Secretary Hay said to a
reporter OF the associated press that
the president had received some sd-
vices from Paris that he desired to lay
before the cabinet and that he had
called the members together to consid-
er them. The nature OF the advices
Mr.. Hay declined to discuss. as. he
said. that was a matter which could not
be gone into for publication at this
time. He added. however. that after
considering the contents OF the dis
patch, the president has cabled the
american commissioners, relterating
his former instructions.
II IL understood that one point was
raised In the dispatches received by the
president. 1t related to q modihca-
ton OF the terms Of the proposition
submitted to the Spanish commission
ers q few days ago by the American
commissioners but in Just what partic-
ular the proposed modification was to
be made could not be ascertained.
That the proposition was not accepted
was made clear by the president ca
bling to the American commissioners

The American commissioners will insist
that the demands OF the United States
as presented to Spain . few days ago

cation That they will be acceded to

A RECOUNT DEMANDED.
II Is Asked For by Judge Brantly In .
Park County Precinct.

EoTA SOonty ITectmct.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston. Nov. 25.-Proceedings
were begun in the district court to-day
to compel the board of canvassers Of
Park county to count the vote cast in
the lower Mission district. The vote of
this precinct was thrown out because
OF Irregularities in the returns. In this
action A p. Stark as attorney for Theo-
dore Brantly. alleges in his affidavit
that at the recent election there were
10 votes cast In the Lower Mission pre-
cinct in Park county. of which number
Brantly received IA and Pemberton 5.
That at the time the votes were can
vassed the canvassng board on account
of alleged Irregularities in the returns
threw out the vote of this precinct,
thus depriving Brantly of the votes to
which he was legally entitled. Judge
Henry issued an alternative writ of
mandamus, compelling the boaS of
canvassers to appear and show cause
why they should not act in accordance
with the prayer of the petitioners. The
board Of canvassers contend that from
the returns as sent in IL was impossi-
BILE to determine how many votes were
cast for each candidate. and from the
errors which appeared when the votes
were canvassed they believed they had
no other alternative but to throw the
precinct out.

pines and Ualan island. but all of the
Caroltnes and the Pelew group. Much
regret II felt In oficial circles. par
ticulariy among naval men. at the
failure of the president to insert in
the peace protocol a provision regard
Inc the Caroline and Pelew islands
similar to that relating to the Philip
pines.
II Is no longer q secret that during
the war the naval war board and
Commander r. b. Bradford, chief Of
the bureau OF eQuipment OF the navy
department. strenuously urged upon
Secretary Long and the president the
seixure OF the Carolines. In fact one
OF the monitors sent to Manila was Sc
lected by the board for this duty. but
the president failed to approve the
proposition.
Behind the proposition to buy Ualan
lies the hope In some quarters that
Spain will make a counter proposition
for the cession Of the entire group and
the Pelew islands for an increased
compensation. The occupation of
Guam by this government was based
upon the belief that Il has a magnifi-
cent harbor and would be an excellent
stopping place between Honolulu and
Manila The American commissioners
have now learned that the harbor IL
exposed to monsoons. that Il IL shallow
and that the island Is subject to earth
Quakes.
In the Carolines most OF the islands
have excellent harbors. which are well
sheltered. The are heavily wooded
and supplied with fresh water and
earthquakes are unknown. In addi-
tion they would. IL REQUIRED by the
United States. be the outposts for the
Philippines. They extend in a belt
along the ninth degree of latitude, are
only 300 miles to the southwark Of
nd nil rxo
pines. Pelews are 800 miles from Min
danao.
The belief prevails here that the Ger
mans Will bring pressure to bear upon
Spain to prevent her from selling the
Carolines to the United States. Such
action would undoubtedly be looked
shin.

port of Paymaster General T. III. Stanton
OF the army shows an expenditure of

pared with last year. General Stanton
says that the rapid increase Of the army
gave rise to many questions as to the law
governing payments to volunteers which
the department has endeavored to adjust
satisfactorily. The mastering out and
scattering OF troops has imposed addi-
tional work upon the pay department.
He recommends an increase In the regu-
lar force of the pay corps. saying: II
earnestly recommend that 20 the regular
pay corps of the army there be added

ais. five deputy paymaster generals and
twenty majors and paymasters. the pro-
motions to colonel and lieutenant colonel
