VIII Snfllco to Close up the Work Of the
Peace Commission.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s. = It is the
impression at the state department, in
the absence Of anything save press re-
ports. Of the proceedings at Paris to-
day, that the commissions work is now
near an end, and that ABOUT two weeks
time will suffice to close Il up. This
idea Is based on the belief that instead
of undertaking to arrange the several
matters yet to be settled in the treaty OF
peace. general clause Will be placed
In the treaty, binding, each OF the par
ties to begin negotiations in the near
future upon those subjects. Such q
clause OF necessity must BIO very care-
fully drawn, In order to ensure tho
United States n resumption OF CONNER
olnl relations with Spain on fair terms
with other nations, though II cannot go
far into details and must be limited in
scope TO something like general pledge
to yield to the United States favorable
conditions.
II is said at the state department
that the next step win be TO begin nego-
tiutlons for the acquisition OF Ualan, In
the Caroline islands, for cable station.
This is not to be made tho subject Of a

City Democratic Committee
Nails a Lie About Alder
man Henry.

The City Democratic Committee met
last night in Fischer's Hail. Chairman
Erickson presided and Secretary P. H.
Murphy was on hand, as he always is.
A list of names of challengers for the
April election was submitted~by the rep
.resentatives of the different precincts.
Secretary Murphy was called upon to
explain a story in the Journal a day
or two ago to the effect that the members
of the committee from the Third ward
had frozen out Aldermen Henry and de-
cided that he should not have a renomina-
ton. It was only another Journal lie.
Murphy explained that Alderman
Henry had positively announced that he
would ont accept a denomination. after
he had made the announcement some of
the committeeman from the ward had an
informal talk about the most eligible cam
didate to succeed Alderman Henry, and
they agreed that Daniel Cole would be a
popular nominee.
Nothing whatever was d~ecidedsupon ex-
cept that. The Journals" story that
there is discord among the Democrats of
the Third ward is absolutely false. A
conference will be held between the mem
bers of the committee from the ward and
a committee from the Third Ward Club
to discuss the eligibility of candidates for
nominations

ENGLAND FRIENDLY.

TBy Gable to The Associated Press.]
LONDON, March u, 1S9S.-The "St.
James Gazette" this afternoon, in an
editorial headed Together With Amer
lea" says
9Th Cuban situation cannot be allowed
to go on much longer. If the Names de-
struction is proved to have bAen due to
an external explosion it will then be
shown that Spain nno as much as keep
order in the harbor of the Cuban capital,
and the United States will be justified in
refusing to tolerate such a condition of
things any longer, and in asking our
moral support to bring it to IN end. In
China, no doubt, it is we who are chiefly
concerned, but the United States have
genuine interests there, and they are iden-
teal with ours We both asked for the
open door and nothing else. Here then
moral support may be given for the moral
support of the American Government"
1t has every claim to insist upon max,
ing it's voice heard; it must needs have a
seat at any conference on the Chinese
question, and we can calculate it will be
found in agreement with our.
TT has hitherto been the ruling prin-

alliances with European powers. But
the time for alliances has come for the
United States. They can no longer at
ford to view the conflicts of the Euro
pean powers as something remote and no
concern of theirs. 1t may be a fortunate
thing for both that this should be the
case, just when it is SO very possible for
England and the United States to act
together. On our side there is every dis
position and we can claim to have shown
it in our acts. 1t is for them to take the
next step. They can now, by speaking
a word in regard to China, make clear to
the world that the two Anglo-Saxon COM
munities are prepared TO act together"
The officials OF the United States En-
bassy here say it is absolutely untrue
that they have been informed that Spain
has raised $50, 900, 900 for the purchase Of
warships, etc, an dhas deposited hat
amount in a London bank.

appoint trustees before the meeting ad-
journed.
Mr.. MCGEE advised Chairman Woolley
that the writ of certiorari acts as a stay
and that he4wfll not be able to appoint
trustees until the matter in dispute is de-
cided in the courts.
Chairman Woolley appointed the fol-
lowing members as delegates TO the State
Convention of Republican Clubs, to be
held in Trenton, March 81: William
wilke, Robert Urduhart, Winfield Dcdd,
Robert McAndrew and William H. Yer
milye.
A number of unimportant amendments
to the constitution were adopted and an
important amendment was offered by
Stephen D. Bennett of Bayonne. 1t pro-
vides that no %appointee of a Democratic
administration shall be eligible to become
a member of the Hudson County Repub-
lican Committee and that any member
accepting such appointment thereby can
GELS his membership. This not intended
to apply to appointments provided for by
statute. The amendment was laid over
under the rules.
After the adjournment of the County
Committee the City Committee met and
organized with the following officers:-E.
w. Woolley, President; Flayel MCGEE,
vice-President; John j. Erwin, Secre-
tary, and Michael Schultz, Jr.. Treasurer.
The President was empowered to appoint
an Executive Committee of twelve and a
Finance Committee of like number, they
to form the Campaign Committee. 1t
was decided to hold the primaries on
March IS, from seven O'Clock until nine
o'clock in the evening, and the city con-
vention on March %.

committee. various amendments were
then offered by Mr.. MeEwan. and an aye
and nay vote called for, but at all times
ii was refused. The amendment was de-
ciared carried. Mr.. McEwan protested
that the amendment was not carried pur-
suant to the constitution and bylaws OF
the committee, and that the action was in
opposition to parliamentary law. There
upon Mr.. McI1wan moved to adjourn and
the President declared the motion carried
before the noes had voted.
The petition coEsinues:-"Thereafter
and without reading any further amend
ments, and without any motion to recon-
slider the motion that the proposed
amendments be read and acted upon sep
.arateiy, the President heard and put a
motion to adopt the entire report Of the
committee, against the protest Of Mr..
McEwan; that the ayes and nays were
called upon the adoption of the entire re-
port and the members were required to
vote on the whole report or against IT.
Thomas McEwan, Jr, moved an
amendment to said motion n called for
the ayes and nays, requesting thai the
question of ordering the ayes and nays be
submitted to the meeting in order that it
might be ascertained whether a sufficient
number Of the. membership present sus-
tanned such call, and that the President,
Edward w. WoolIey, refusedsto order the
ayes and nays or submit h question OF
ordering such ayes and nays to the meet
ing to ascertain whether the meeting
would order such ayes and nays, but put
the question on the amendment by viva
voce vote and declared the same carried,
ignoring McEwan's call. The, same pro-
'cedure was taken and demand for ayes
and nays made by Thomas McEwan upon
the vote on the original motion to adopt
the report, but the President pursued the
same arbitrary. supplementary, nnwar-
ranted and unlawful course, and declared
the report Of the committee adopted.
BY the rules laid down in Cushing's
Manual, which governs the committee
upon the question, it is laid down that any
member may demand the ayes and nays,
and that when a member calls for the
same and it is seconded. that such ques-
ton of taking an aye and nay vote shall
be submitted to the meeting to ascertain
whether the same shall be done"
Then the petition recites.-.sThat OF the
18th day of March, 1898. will occur the e
regular meeting of the committee, and
that under the constitution, as changed,
the President will appoint three trus-
tees in place of f. w. Angel, D. D. Dick
inson and Michael Schultz, Jr.; that such
appointment vests in the trustees the title
to the property of such corporation, and.
that among such property is a lot and
clubhouse worth at least $1,000, situate in
