RAISES MANY PETTY POINTS
Madrid Carping Over the Peace
Protocol Provisions.
INSTRUCTS COMMISSIONERS.
Attention Called to the Distinction Be-
tween Cession of Territory and Cession
of Sovereignty-No Little Concern Over
Philippine Question.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Times COM
menting upon Senior Sagasta's utter
ances, published in Ell Impartial, of
Madrid, expresses the opinion that too
much stress should not be laid upon
them, but admits that talking of the
fate Of criminals, etc., in Cuba, seems
to approach trifling with the main
ssue.
"The reference to Spanish property
in Cuba, the Times says, ''would i'm.
ply that the United States cannot be
trusted to observe the dictates OF
equity and good sense. To enter upon
the negotiations in this carping spirit
will not conduceto speedy conclusion
of them. In fact, altogether, Spain
appears to be raising rather absurd
contentious"
The Times correspondent in Madrid
says:
"a committee consisting of Duke AL
modovar de Rio, the foreign minister;
Senior Romero Giron, minister of the
colonies; Lieutenant General Correa,
minister of war, and Captain Aunon,
minister of marine, is preparing in
structions for the Cuban and Porto
Rican commissioners, which will be
dispatched on August 81 so as to ar
rive within the time fixed by the pro-
tocol.
''In those instructions attention will
be called to the distinction between
cession of territory and cession of SOW
eighty. In the latter case, it seems to
be maintained here that buildings and
public works remain the property of
the sovereign power until they are
paid for by the government.
"While the government thus devotes
its attention for moment chiefly to
questions of detail relating to the An
titles, much anxiety is felt with regard
to the Philippines question, which is
likely to create much more serious
difficulties. On this subject very little
guidance is afforded by the studiously
vague terms employed in the protocol.
These words have been carefully ex-
amined, with the aid of all available
dictionaries, not only by the Spanish
ministers, but also by the diplomatic
representatives of several foreign pow
ers, and all seemed agreed that, in
drafting this part of the protocol,
President McKinley's aim was simply
to keep free hand for himself until
he should have time to collect informa-
ton and decide what policy the United
States should adopt in the far East.
"All possible questions regarding
the future of the archipelago are thus
left open, and both government and
public opinion here seem in doubt as
to what line shall be taken by Spain
In the forthcoming negotiations.
Much will depend, of course, on the
attitude assumed by the United States
government, and consequently the
conflicting currents of American pub
lie opinion are watched here with the
keenest interest. The attitude of the
powers having far Eastern interests is
also much speculated upon. 1t is be-
lieved that Germany will not allow
great territorial changes without hav-
ing something to say therein"

PIeasures on tho Farm.

Pleasures on the Farm.
Oh, it's royal fun to frolic
On the fragrant, new-mown hay,
To roll and romp and tumble,
And to while the time away;
What Joy to lie and slumber.
Innocent of worldly care,
On the clover In the haymow,
When some others put it there.
What a joy, when one is thirsty,
Ere as yet tits time to sup,
To consume the sweet ambrosia
That the COWS have yielded up
To drink out of the milkpail,
While you poise it in the air
When some other has extracted
The rich fluid that is there.
What a Joy 1t Is, in summer,
To be free upon the farm;
All, the very air seems freighted
With mystic sort Of charm;
Round and over all dreamy,
Peaceful spirit seems to Turk
That is, il you do the dreaming,
While some others do the work.

MARION BUTLER GIVES UP.
National Populist Chairman to Surrender
to Middle of the Readers.

National PopulIst Chairman to Surrender
to Observation-Disclosures
Houston, Texas, Aug. 22.-In a
speech at the big Populist encamp.
ment at Greenville yesterday, Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina,
national chairman of the Populist
party, surrendered to the middle-of-
the-roaders or anti-fusionists. He de-
clared that, as national chairman, he
would promise that there would be no
trades or combines with either Of the
old parties before the next national
convention and that he would call that
convention at least month earlier
than the Democratic or Republican
conventions convened, and thus pre-
vent any opportunity of fusion. He
referred to the "Omaha agreement"
which is an agreement between him
self and Milton Park of Dallas, the
leader of the middle-of-the-road ele-
ment.

A Modern Fable.

Once upon time Tramp was Sore
ly in need Of Something to Eat, and ap-
preaching a Farmhouse he spake unto
the Farmer, saying; IF you will give
me the Wherewithal to satisfy the
Cravings of the inner Man, will kill
all the Rats about the Place"
Agreed" said the Tiller Of the Soil,
and he ordered his Good Wife to give
the Tramp Square Meal. After the
Tramp had devoured everything in
sight he went to the wood-pile and Sc
lected stout Club, then seating Him
self on the Porch, he said to the Farm
err: Now bring on your Rats"
Moral-Always have the details spe-
Gifted in the contract.
