Commissioners In Session.

Paris, Oct 26-The American peace
commissioners held a session of several
hours duration to-day prior to the joint
session of the two commissions, which
opened at o'clock this afternoon. The
meeting Of the commissions lasted an
hour and five minutes and was adjourn
ed until tomorrow. Both the Spanish
and the American commissioners were
more reticent after this session than
ever before.
The Americans fully appreciate not
only their own serious responsibility, but
also the delicate position of their Span
ish colleagues, to the burden OF whose
duties is now added the critical po-
litical situation at Madrid. which may
compel the president of the Spanish
commission (who is also president OF
the Spanish senate), Senior Montero. to
leave Paris.
The Madrid correspondent OF the
Temps confirms the report that Pre-
mier Sagasta and the queen regent have
prevailed upon the minister of war,
General Correo. to indefinitely postpone
his resignation pending the conclusion
of the peace negotiations.
As the peace negotiations are now
nearing the discussion of the Philippine
question, the Americans feel no stage
OF the proceedings has so demanded
their consderate treatment. II may not
be stated tonight with certainty that
the Cuban question has received its
last consideration by the Americans,
nor have the Spaniards accepted as ul-
innate the United States refusal to
assume any portion of the Cuban debt.
1t may. however. be affirmed that the
Philippine question was not reached to-
day. but il may be discussed at to-mor-
rows session, which will be the first
occasion. during these negotiations. OF
a joint session of the commission being
held on succeeding. days. which fact is
i'm some degree significant.

mately the ballot would come to wo-
men. but meantime IL was her duty TO
do all she can for the support Of re-
publican principles for the prosperity
