Diplomacy comes high. Even the
shirt sleeve" variety is expensive.
Peace Commissioners Day and Reid are
to receive at least 100000 each for as
sisting in the negotiations in Paris.
James Bassett Moore, secretary of the
peace commission, will receive $4,000
for his services in Paris. Senators
Davis, Frye and Gray. under the law,
cannot draw two salaries, and they
will have only their expenses paid in
addition to their senatorial salaries.
Messrs. Day and Moore resigned per-
manent positions to accept this tempo
rary Office, because they were getting
s., 600 a year originally, which would
not amount in four years to this fee.
There will be a disposition to reject
this claim, but it is found in diplo-
matte usage. Commissioners Day and
Moore pose as experts and command
the maximum fee. They may have
some trouble in convincing congress
that they are experts, but in wartime
everything goes.

Senator Teller has concluded that the
Philippines ought to be retained by this
government. In his speech in congress
this week he said: 1--WE have already
acquired this territory. We need, as a
matter of fact. no treaty with Spain to
confirm our right to it. BY right of
conquest-a right undisputed-we came
into possession of Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Asiatie archipelago. They are
ours just as certainly as they could be
made so by treaty" But he believes
that statehood should be eventually
conferred upon these territories.

FLEE FROM THE ENDLESS CHAIN.
Miss Natalie schenck Still Besieged
With Letters.
New York Herald.)


The endless chain, started in an idle
moment by Miss Natalie Schenck of
Babylon. L. L, is nearing it's end. More
than 100000 letters and more than $780,
500 has been received, although only
81 600 was asked for by the originator.
This sum, it was hoped, would start
an ice fund for the poor soldiers in
Cuba. Winter is here, ice has become
a drug on the market, but the fund
still grows
Miss Schenck meant well when she
sent out the first ten letters asking for
10 cents each from the recipients and a
continuance of the circle, but she little
knew what the result would be.
In addition to the envelopes contain
ing money, there were envelopes con-
tanning no money, which had been
robbed en- route, and envelopes direct
ed to the postmaster of Babylon, ask
ing about the commercial standing of
Miss Schenek, who is the granddaugh-
ter of Matthew Morgan, a retired New
York banker, whose winter home is at
2S4 Lexington avenue. The receipt and
answer of these letters of inquiry by
Postmaster Dowden of Babylon netted
the government considerable revenue.
Day by day the mail for Miss
Schenck grew. In vain she appealed to
the press to stop the flow of silver The
pool of charity was first rippled in
July, but the ripples have augmented
and are still widening. The letters are
still coming in at the rate of 100 a
day. Miss Schenck has fled to New
York and her grandfather recently de-
clared that neither ne nor his charm
ing granddaughter would have any
thing more to do with it.
The money has been turned over to
the Red Cross society. Some of it was
used for the ice fund for the soldiers,
the rest has been used in other ways
for the relief Of the veterans of the
Spanish-American war.
Miss Annie Smith, during Miss
Schenck's absence. opens the mail that
still comes, and the money is being
turned over to the Red Cross society.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Frawley company gave two
charming performances at the Theatre
yesterday afternoon and evening, Fort
Frayne" for the matinee bill and THE
Last Word at night. There was a
good audience at the first and a fair
one at night. That in the afternoon
was made up almost entirely of ladies,
and there were many evidences of en-
joyment over the performance, though
some complained that the play called
for so little on the part of Miss Bates
and Mr.. F'rawley. Miss Laverne had
the part of a spinster, which, needless
to say, she filed excellently. 1t must
be said, with a proper tegard for truth.
that the play is much less interesting
than the novel.
Miss Bates had almost the star role
in The Last Word 1t is a polished
comedy, adapted from the German by
Augustin Daily to exploit the talents of
Ada Rehan, and probably the highest
praise that could be uttered for Miss
Bates is that she played the role with
an amazing likeness to the famous orig
inal. 1t is the part of Russian baron
esS who speaks re English" with a
faint accent, but who has all the fire,
soul and energy of Catherine in her
composition, and who subOrdinates
every one and every thing else in the
play to her will. She played admirably
throughout and won some hearty calls.
Mr.. Frawley was good as ever in the
role of the student who has learned
woman thoroughly from his books,
and his scenes with Miss Bates were
excellently acted. The others in the
company lent very capable support, Mr..
Keefe being a cabinet minister to the
manner born, Mr.. Hickman again illus
trating his decided talents as q come
dian, Mr.. Payne enacting the secre-
tary's brother with true feeling, both
Miss Campbell and 4.lIss Welles sus-
tanning the young girls parts charm
ingly Mr.. Edwards also did a neat
piece of work as the old baron.
Tonight the Frawley season ends with
the first production in this city of the
famous Enemy to the King" The sale
indicates that the best house of the
engagement will be in attendance.

plauded.

CAPTAIN J. L. HUGHES,
The New Commander Of Company
E, Sixth Infantry.

Lieutenant John Law Hughes of
Company F, Sixth Infantry Califor-
MIA Volunteers formerly Company E
of this city), yesterday received his
commission as Captain Of that body of
stalwart and seasoned soldiers, to sue
ceed Captain ]. F. Lucey, resigned
The appointment of Captain Hughes
is very popular one. He was reared
in Sacramento, graduated from the
High School here, and for many years
has been a jealous member of the
National Guard, an efficient officer and
favorite with the members of local
military organizations.
Since Captain Lucey resigned a
couple of months ago, to accept a
Lieutenancy in another command that
had been ordered to Manila, Leuten-
ant Hughes has been in active charge
of the company, owing to the indisposi-
ton of First Lieutenant McMartin. By
his promotion First Sergeant William
D. Bessy becomes Second Lieutenant, a
recognition justly deserved.
Company F's men are now on a
thirty days furlough, which is nearly
at an end, and the regiment will soon
be mustered out of the Government ser
vice. The company will no doubt be
reOrganiZed as a branch of the Ma
tional Guard, and will enjoy the dis
tinctiOn of being one of the best COM
mandS in that body.
