ANOTHER BLOW.

dian Pacific Business


Chicago, Aug. 17.-Another blow has
been struck at the Canadian Pacific by
the Chicago-St Paul roads. At this sea
son there is always an exodus of farm
laborers from Ontario and Eastern Cana
da to Manitoba. and this year n is
larger than ever before. More than 3 O0O
passengers have been hauled in one week.
Formerly the Canadian Pacific had a mo-
nopoly OF the business. IL was able TO
load all it's own trains with 80 passengers
20 the car. Now the American lines have
gone in as competitors for the business
and have succeeded In diverting a large
amount Of the business via Chicago and
81 PAU. Last night 400 OF these passen-
gers were brought here by the Grand
Trunk.

Paul took 800 of them TO ST. Paul and the
others were divided up among the other
roads. Similar parties will be brought
here tomorrow and Aug. 3 and more will

Lost Ills Life IN AIa.kn

Yankton, s. D.-A letter just re-
ceived here by l.. Il. Hesla from Henry
Sogan of Parker, who is on his way
home from Alaska, corroborates the
story circulated a month ago that l..
c. Gorsuch, an engineer who formerly
ran a train between Yankton and Cen
terville ON the Northwestern and Gem
left here last March for Alaska, had
lost his life by drowning in the Cop
per river. The fatal accident occurred
Sept. 80. He and four others were
on their return to the United States
and We're travelling by boat down the
river. They had reached a series of
rapids, of which there are five In num-
Der, when 1t was decided to ssline''
the boat over them. This is accom-
plished by mean of a long rope at
tached TO the boat, one man remaining
in TO guide and the others holding the
rope and walking along the bank. MI.
Gorsuch was the man who remained
in the boat. The first OF the rapids
were safely passed, but in attempting
the second the boat was capsiZcd and
Mr.. Gorsuch was swept away. He
was well known in railroad circles
throughout the state.

Washington, Nov. 81. - A special
meeting Of the cabinet was held at 10
o'clock last night. All the members
were with the president except Secre-
tary Long, who is out of the city. The
meeting was called by the president
in order that his advisers might CON
slider with him advices received from
the American peace commissioners at
Paris. 1t is understood that the adj
vices related TO counter proposals in
formally made to the American COM
missioners by the representatives OF
the commission of the Madrid govern
ment. AT the conclusion of the meet
ing, which lasted only forty minutes,
and was held in the parlor of the
White House, Secretary of State Hay
said TO a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press that the president had re-
ceiyed some advices from Paris which
he desired to lay before the cabinet.
and that he had called the members
together to consider them. The ma
ture of the advices Mr.. Hay declined
to discuss, as, he said, that was a mat
ter witch could not be gone into for
publication at this time. He added,
however, that after considering the
contents of the dispatches the presi-
dent had cabled the American COM
missioners r%eiterating his former in
structions. 1t is understood that one
point, new TO the negotiations thus far,
was raised in yesterdays communica-
ton by the S%paniards. 1t related to a
modification Of the terms of the prop
osition submitted to the Spanish COM
m~issioners a few days ago by the
American commissioners. but in just
what particular the proposed modifi-
cation 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 American
commissioners will insist that the de-
mands of the United States as present
ed to Spain a few days ago be consid-
cred without further modification.
That they will be acceded to by Spain
is the earnest belief of the cabinet and
the president.

Paris, Nov. 27-It is now known that
spain VIII exhaust her time limit,
which expires on Monday, before re-
plying to the American offer regarding
the Philippine islands. In the mean
While the Spaniards are canvassing the
entire field and exhausting every re-
source to postpone the inevitable. AS
cabled by the Associated Press on
Wednesday, they could not accept the
American ultimatum as final without
asking If 1t We're really so. That aD-
pied to the time limit. Now. the Span
iards apparently doubt the fixedness of
the amount the Americans offered for
the Philippines, and yesterday they
sent a communication to the American
commissioners asking If the latter
would accept a counter proposal by
Spain to cede the Philippines for $780,
100000. Spain imagines the Ameri-
cans might be willing TO lop off the
great island of Mindanao from the
Philippines and pay Spain $4,000, 900
for what would remain instead of 500
100000 now offered for the entire
archipelago. Spain will learn in re-
Spouse to sIch inquiry that Americans
employ the word ultimatum to signify
ultimate conditions.
However strenuously Spain may
seek to increase her money advantages
for the cession of the Philippines, she
will finally be compelled to know that
the United States offer means $4,000
600, no more and no less, and that the
whole archipelago must pass to the
United States for that sum. Spain, be-
fore giving up or turning away, will
also propose ONE alternative bargain
of the CarolineS or the Canary islands
to be held in possession Of the United
States in addition to the Philippine
islands on condition that Spain should
be permitted to retain her sovereignty
in the Philippines. In other words,
Spain would cede certain territory in
the Carolines and Canaries and the
control of the Philippines by the Unit
ed States under a nominal Spanish
sovereignty, and, as a further induce
ment, propose that the United States
shall pay Spain no money on account
of the Philippine islands.
Senior Rios told the correspondent of
the Associated Press that the Spanish
peace commissioners had not yet de-
cided upon the answer to be given to
the last American memorandum. I'VE
are considering the matter" he said,
sin a conciliatory spirit, and are
anxious to re-establish friendly rela-
tons between the two countries. At
the same time we are here to defend
the interests and honor of Spain"
In reply TO an inquiry as to whether
there was any truth iii the report that
the Spanish commissioners had de-
cided to accept the American offer Of
S20,000,000 for the Philippines, Senior
Rios, shaking his head, said:
mo, no.. The commission has not
yet decided ON its answer. What our
reply will be can only be determined
at the conference on Monday, when
we will discuss the matter with the
Americans. At the same time" he
added, in a still lower voice, 1--WE Will
follow the instructions that may be re-
ceived from Madrid"
".Then final instructions have not
yet Gomez
"Ah. but we are approaching a con-
fidential matter" said Senior Rios in
~nocently. Everything connected with
both commissions is a secret"
