ONLY ONE SET OF TERMS.
The Government Will Not Open the
Way to Diplomatic Palaver M.
Cambon Knows Our Ultimatum.

Washington, August A long con-
ference between the President End Sec
rotary Day and Secretary Long was
held this afternoon. Secretary Day,
when he Joined the President after the
latter had been comforting with the
Secretary of the Navy for three-quar-
tiers of an hour looked worn and fati-
gued, as sequence to a night confer
ence with the French ambassador. They
were together going over the peace
propositions and it was one o'clock this
morning before the conference ended.
Secretary Day, it may be said, has full
confidence that there will be little seri-
GUS delay and pickering over the clos
ing of the details of peace. A fort
night ago he was not SO confident, be-
ing disposed to fear Spanish procrasti-
nation and haggling over details. To-
day he expressed the opinion person.
ally that he believed that there was no
longer danger on that score and said
that policy seemed to have been aban-
doned under the stress of circum-
stances This expression goes to con-
firm other indications that peace is
near at hand. Those who have gone
over the ground and conferred with the
officials express belief that the outcome
of peace is very nearly attained. One
administration public man who talked
with the President and others to-day,
predicted that a preliminary agreement
which would practically settle the war
would be effected within a week.
Firmly but courteously, the Presl-
dent has declined the earnest appeal of
the French ambassador to modify the
United States demands except in slight
and comparatively unimportant re-
spects. There is no doubt that the
peace negotiations are progressing to
the entire satisfaction of the President
and the members of the cabinet. A
statement to that effect was made to-
day by a high official of the admins
traticn.

BOSTON, August A special cable
gram to the Journal from Ponce says; A
sensation has occurred in the Sixth Mas
sachusetts regiment, which is in Gen.
Garretson's brigade. The friction be-
tween the line officers of the regiment
and the officers of the brigade. which has
been growing ever since the command
left Cuba, reached its climax Monday
when Col. Woodward. Lieut.. Col. Chat
fin, Major Taylor. Chaplain Doussealt
and Capt. Goedell of Company X, resign
ed their commissions. The exact reasons
which prompted them to take this action
is not at present known. The cause must
have been serious indeed. The resigna-
tions leave Maj. Charles X. Darling in
command of the regiment. The matter
has been fully reoorted TO General Miles
and rigid investigation has been order
ed By military law to resign in face of
the enemy means a eourtmartial.

A Party Without a po:sc y.

Once more the Democracy enters
an important political campaign as
a party without a policy. The New
York Democrats, IN their state con
vcntion, have Just refused to in
dorse the national platform which
their party adopted two years ago.
The New Jersey Democrats. in q
similar gathering, did the SAME
thing day earlier than their New
York brethren, and the Connecti-
cut Democrats did this last week.
In the entire Eastern group Of
states. containing about a third oi
the population Of the whole COIN
try, the Democracy has cut loose
from its national organization. has
rejected that organizaticn's princi-
pies and has repudiated It's author
ity. The western end CT the party,

UNDER the careful manage
ment'' OF a Democratic administra-
ton this county was run into debt.
This debt is acknowledged by the
party organ to have been $500,
but was estimated by Republicans
to have been much larger. What
ever admission the editor Of the
Democratic organ makes as to the
shortcomings of his party can safe
" be multiplied several times and
thus the truth obtained. and after
VIC have this result there is only
one deduction to be made, and that
is, the careful management OF
Democrats is a costly business to
the taxpayers.

THE editor of the ''Independent'

Long, county clerk; Higginbotham,

the ether candidates on the ticket,
are they being traded off to save
the above. However, the election
has not yet been held and the gift Of
the above named Offices still belongs
to the people, and, therefore, the
announcement that these men will
fl, the Offices for which they are
candidates is somewhat premature.

To tho Democrats Of Washing

was the levy Of taxes made by 4

the county from deht il 1895 and
not the Republicans, as it is claim

THE above Is q fair sample OF

the credit for relieving the county
from debt from the Republicans
and give it to the Democratic coun-
