washington, Nov. ga special meeting
of the cabinet was held at 10 o'clock to-
nigbt. All the members were with the
President except Secretary Long, who is
out of the city.
The meeting was called by the President
IN order that his advisors might consider
with him advices received this evening
from the American peace commissioners
at Paris.
II is understood that the advices related
to counter proposals informally made to
the American commissioners by the rep
resentatives on the commission of the
Madrid government.
At the conclusion of the meeting, which
lasted only forty minutes, and was held
in the parlors of the White House, Secre-
tarv of State Hay said to a representative
of the Associated Press that the President
mad received some advlces from Paris that
he desired to lay before the cabinet. and
that he had called the members together
to consider them.
The nature of the advices Mr.. Hay de-
c.ined to discuss as he said, that was
matter which could not be gone into for
publication at this time. He added, how
ever. that after considering the contents
of the dispatches, the President had cabled
the American commissioners reiterating
his former Instructions.
1t is understood that one point, new in
the negotiations thus far, was raised in
the dispatches received by the President.
1t related to a modification of the terms
of the proposition submitted to the Span
ish commissioners a. few days
ago by the American commits
sioners, but in just what par
ucular the proposed modification was to
be made could not be ascertained. That
the proposition was not accepted was
made clear by the President in cabling to
the American commissioners a reiteration
Of his former instructions. The Ameri-
can commissioners will insist that the de-
rnands of the United States, as presented
&c Spain few days ago, be considered

ATHLETIC RELATIONS SEVERED.
Virginians and North CarOIinians
Dispnting Thursdays Game.


Richmond, Va, Nov. 25.-A sensation
was sprung here this afternoon in football
circles by the report that Virginia and
North Carolina would not again play for
the Southern championship, Virginia
charging that on yesterday North Carolina
played a professional in the person of
Kochler.
Capt. Rogers of the Carolinas, denies this
and says that he can prove that Collier,
of the Virginia team, has played in pro-
fessional games
A special from the University Of Vir-
ginia says that Virginia, before yester-
DAVIS game. notified Carolina that If
Kochler was played all future athletic
relations would be broken off. No reply
was made, and Kochler was played.
Since then, however there has been no

CARDINAL on THE coNEMcTs.
Car dinaI Gibbons Discusses the Race
Troubles

Baltimore Nov. 25.-Cardinal Gibbons, in
discussing the recent race troubles in the
South, said to a representative of the Bal
timore Sun to-day;
I'm the history of mankind 1t has been
observed that when TWO distinct races CO.
existed in the same territory, one race
has always exercised certain supremacy
over the other. While this principle is ad-
mitted, it is the manifest duty Of every
patriotic statesman and Christian 60 see
that the relations between the races should
be friendly, harmonious, and mutually
beneficial.
'rhe race conflicts, antagonisms and
bloodshed which have recently occurred In
several states of the union can be largely
traced TO two great causes-the one-sided
and il-directed system OF negro educa-
ton, and the indiscriminate exercise and
consequent abuse of the ballot box"
THE colored race" continued the car
dinal. ARE naturally kind and gentle. af-
fectionate and grateful. with religious
emotions easily aroused. But the educa-
ton they are generally receiving is cal
culated TO sharpen their mental faculties
at the expense of their religious and NOR
al sense. 1t fosters ambition without
gratifying Il, 1t feeds the head while the
heart is starved. No education is COM
plete that does not teach the science of
self-restraint and this Is found only I'm
the decalogue and In The gospels. But it
is hard to get a hearing on the subject
Of popular education. We must appeal
from Peter drunk to Peter sober.
1.-The abuses of the ballot box is charge
able more to white demagogues than to
the blacks themselves. The politicians
use the negro vote for their own selfish
purposes. am persuaded that restriction
OF suffrage by property qualification would
be a wise measure 1t would be an in
centive to industry ana as men are in
stinetively disposed to protect their own
property they will naturally vote for those
rulers aud public officers, who, in their
Judgment, are more qualified to protect
their property from unjust and exorbltant
taxation and to promote the material
prosperity Of the commonwealth"

Gen. Shafter "a Guest of the Sons OF

New York, Nov. 2s.-Gen. shafter was
the principal guest tonight at a banquet
given at Delmonico's by the Sons OF the
Revolution Of the State OF New York.
In the course Of a speech, he said: II

Paris, Nov. 25.-It is now known that
Spain will exhaust her time limit, which
expires on Monday before replying to the
American offer regarding the Philippine
Islands. In the meanwhile the Span
iards are canvassing the entire field and
eNhausting every resource to postpone the
inevitable.
AS cabled to the Associated Press on
Wednesday, they could not accept the
American ultimatum as final without ask
ips if it really were so. That applied TO
the time limit.
Now the Spaniards apparently doubt
the hXedness of the amount the Ameri-
cans offered for the Philippines and to-day
'ney sent a communication to the Ameri-
can commissioners, asking if the latter
would accept a counter proposition by
spain to cede the Philippines for $1ooOO0.-

spain will learn in response to such in
qulries that Americans employ the word
u'Ilmatum to signify ultimate conditions.
However strenuously Spain may seek TO
increase her money advantage for the
cession of the Philippines, she will finally
be compelled to know that the United
states offer means 500, 900, 600, no more

The Spanish torpedo flotilla

Washington, April 1.-The Madrid dis
patches announcing the arrival of the

far as could be learned, no information on

TIE notilla surpasses all forecasts as to
the time necessary to make the trip and
indicates that a high rate of speed wa,
