THE JOINT SESSION
 ADJOURNS TO SATURDAY.
The Contents of the Note Is Um known, but Is Believed tO Be Rejection of the Ameri-
 cans Demand.

Paris, Nov. t7.-The meeting yester day of the Spanish eommis. sioners began at 3: 15 D. m, and ended at D. m.
 The Spanish commissioners presented a long document in answer to the Ameri. can argument which was submitted Inst week. By mutual consent the memo. randum was handed to the Americans without being read, and the meeting ad. journed until Saturday.
 The Spanish communication will ld translated and its contents discussed by United States commissioners tomorrow at their usual daily session.
 It is not positively known, but is gen. erally believed, to be rejection of of the American proposition as to the Philip. pines.
 When the translation was begun it was found that the Spanish in their communication reafiirmed tho position which they assumed against discus sion of Spains Philippine sovereignty. They insist that the words "shalI determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines" in article 3 of the peace protocol, do not warrant any reference to Spain's with. drawal from the Philippines except OH her own terms, and therefore the Span. iards propose arbitration on the con, struction to be placed on tho words ''thd control, disposition and government

Late Wednesday afternoon 'John," the age bent Chinalnan, who is affeqHent visitor each day upon our streets, was struck by Ia switch en- zine at the corner of Third avenue and Main street. He was crossing the track when the accident occur red. His feet were caught in the rear step and heiwas dragged several feet before his weak frame could be loos- ened from his perilous position. It was wholly the old Chinaman' fault, as he is very fond of dope" as the boys call 1t, and eye witnesses state that he was almost asleep while crossing the track, The engine was going at q moderately slow speed when 1t struck him. He was laid out on the sidewalk and it was evi- dent from the blood that was !ssu- ing from his eyes, ears and nose that he was injured internally. His left thigh was crushed into a mass of flesh and bones. He was severely skinned about the face.
 He was carried to his home on State street, where medical aid was summoned. At last reports he was in a critical condition.

Sour Grapes.

The Commercial oesnotuse steam it prefers to give it's patrons in job printing the cost of the steam luxury by low prices in printing. g.-Commer- cial, Nov. 15.
 So steam is q luxury, according to the logic of our contemporary. But 1t will be hard to get the world to believe 1t. Steam is luxury be- cause 1t costs something, ha! ha! But is 1t a luxury when it multiplies the productive capacity? Whatever increases the productive capacity decreases the cost of the article man- ufaetured. The Adame-EFilSon Print ing Co. DOES use steam PuNer, In consequence of which it's productive capacity for printing per day it equal to the combined press capacity of all the other printing offices in town. And as a result of these uncqualled and superior facilities for getting out work, the Adams Wilson Printing Go. can do tie work cheaper and better than any of it's competitors.

The North Atlantic Squadron Can Be Sent on the Way to Spain
 Almost Immediately.
SPAIN MUST FIGHT
 OR SIGN THE TREATY.
It Is Not Believed by Washington Officials That Any European Power Will Take the
 Side of Spain.

Washington, Nov. t7-A renewal Of the war with Spain Is the talk now at the national capital and many officials would not be surprised if a squadron of American warships would be ordered to depart for the Canaries or Spain within 8 week.
 Secretary Long reported from the navy department that the north Atlantic fleet was ready to sail at few hours notice Work had been hurried on all vessels and they were now in best possible con- dition for q trip across the Atlantic.
 It was concluded at Tuesdays cabi- net meeting that the Spaniards in Cuba could give but little trouble since they had troubles enough of their own. l. was not anticipated that the Spanish troops in the Philippines could do any harm, and the most of them would sur render without striking blow.
 So the navy will have to bear the brunt of any further fighting that is to be done. The navy is ready. So far as it is concerned the war can begin at once.
 Spain must indicate it's absolute ac- quiescence in the American demands; i; or it must indicate it's acquiescence, coupled with a proposition to treat for the final settlement of the government of the islands, the form of government to be proposed by the United States. At all events, the amonnt of indemnity to Spain must be a secondary consider ation. In other words Spain must yield first in order to get herself into court to plead for her indemnity.
 It is not believed as Washington that any European power will take any hand in the affair,

WILL REFUSE TO SIGN.

Spanish Commissioners Reported as Be
 ing Against a Treaty of Peace.
 Paris, Nov. 17.-The Spaniards de- clare that ti.eir refusal to sign treaty based on any Philippine terms thus far suggested by the United States is ire vocable. They say that tb9y do not and cannot view the taking of the Philip pines as anything else than wantoa ravishment of their possessions, unless it is accompanied by financial consid- eration of appreciable size.
 Therefore the turn of events in the peace conference depends upon the pur- pose or willingness of the American commissioners to extend their financial terms. Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines js now chung to by the Span iards chiefly as means to obtain fnan- cial relief if possible. It is almost pure- ly a matter of money now, if the amount be large enough to absolve the Spanish government from possible charges by their creditors that the collateral has been given away. Persons near to Spain's heaviest creditors believe that should the Americans assume the Phil ippine debt or pay Spain it's face amount in cash the SRaniards would sign.
 This view is new in the quarters where it now prevails, because time has been required for the Spaniards to be- come convinced that the American com 'missioners do little if any diplomatic jockeying and that their final attitude may be found identical with their first.
 If they have not already done so, tho Spanish commissioners will ultimately advise the Americans that they must not permit any controversy as to the binding character of the mortgage resting upon the revenues of the Philippines to pay the socalled Cuban debt. Tenacious ad- herence to tis claim would set upon the Spanish side an unltimatum under which no tre;tty would be signed which did not stipulate that the Philippine revenues should pay the Philippine debt In such event the Americans would probably claim that the Philip pine debt of $40, ,oOO, 900 amounts to s2O,- 900, 900 in gold of which about $l1, ,0Oo,- 900 has been employed in fighting the United States, leaving less than $10,Oo0.- GOO ehargeabIe in gold to the Philippines
 Ipdaed thaTTnitad State womb do11ht- less contend that even the reduced amount was used in fighting the Eli pinos and object to the Spanish conclu- sion that It ia q fair charge against the Americans.
 Trouble will arise, however, before that stage Is reached. as the Spanish commissioners will undoubtedly inform the Americans that the latter have no right to exact schedule of Spain's ex-

 A Spaniard who is posted as to the ex- act status os affairs informed the cor respondent of the Associated Press that he did not believe the Spanish commits sioners would take their final stand at today's session, although he thought it possible that they might finally de- cline to continue the discussion except within the limits of Spain's connection with the protocol
 This is another way of saying Spain may cease her contentious. Should she do so she would make an open protest to the world against spoliation.

NEWS CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Washington Stirred Up More Than at Any
Time Since the Maine Disaster.

Time Since the Maine Disaster.
Washington. March THE news
concerning General Lee aroused the
deepest interest and no little excitement
throughout Washington. and for the
time being the usual quiet Of Sunday
evening was put aside. In hotel corri-
doris, at the clubs. and in all public
places il was the absorbing topic, and
not since the Maine disaster was such
widespread popular interest evinced in
the Spanish situation. The announce
ment OF the purpose of the government
to send supplies TO Cuba on naval YES
sells was made last Wednesday. Within
twenty-fOur hours there were signs of
resistance on the part of the Spanish
government. At first this took the shape
of c formal inquiry by the Spanish
charge-SeIor du Bosc-as to the cor
rectness of the report, the inquiry being
couched In an incredulous tone.
Later. when the affirmation came,
there was lodged, not n formal protest,
but rather an insinuaticn that the
movement of the naval ships would not
be acceptable; that it would be con-
strued into an act of active sympathy
on the part Of the government of the
United States with the insurgents. But
the president had satisfied himself that
the course he had chosen, that of send
ing the supplies in naval vessel. was
the only one that promised sufficient and
prompt relief. There was TO time for
polite diplomatic exchange of notes,
when according to General Lees advice
people were perishing from hunger by
hundreds every day in Cuba, and the
Spanish charge was so informed.

Consul General Lee to the officers Of
tne Maine. The list OF guests on that
occasion IS said to have omitted some
OF the Spanish naval officers. and to
have included, quite conspicuously, the
names Of a number of American news

garded by the Spanish officials at Ha-
Sana as antagonistic to them. This

eral mode of procedure
1t has been understood by officials
here that the feeling against General
Lee has been smoothed over, and the
request for his recall was for that rea-
son in the nature Of a complete sur
prise. There are circumstances. how
ever. which clearly disclose the grounds
for the recall. Since the Maine disaster
q report has been circulated that Gen.
eral Lee held the personal opinion that
the explosion was due to externalcause
No official report of this character was
ever sent to Washington SO far as is
known. The press dispatches from Mad
rid also disclose that General Lee is
held accountable at the Spanish capital
for the project Of the purchase of Cuba
by the United States from Spain. as
well as for Q general sentiment of SYM
pathy toward the insurgents.
There is little doubt. however, that
the main cause of Spain's action is the
sympathy General Lee has shown for
the Cuban sufferers. 1t is known that
his active and open sympathy with the
people who have suffered so greatly
during the present insurrection, Ameri-
can citizens as well as native Cubans,
has not been accepted by the Spanish
officials in Cuba as an exhibition of dis
interested officialism such as is expected
of consular officers. There were COM
plants during General Weyler's ad-
ministration Of his conduct. but never
IN full official form. As a matter of
fact Spain requires no formal excuse
for the dismissal of consular officer
according to international law.
But Consul General Lee Is in one re-
spect unique. in that he endowed with
semi-diplomatic powers by the wish of
our government and by the consent Of
the Spanish government. The request
OF the Spanish government for his re-
call may therefore be regarded as tan
tamount to a demand for the recall of
an Objectionable minister. There must
be some substantial or satisfactory rea
son for such a demand in such cases
and as those presented against General
Lee probably were confined to the acts
he has so far performed with the full
sanction and approval of President Nc
Kinley, the demand was not enter
tanned. Under such circumstances the
incident would close unless Spain took
the decisive step Of insisting on Gen
eral Lees recall, and this falling, giving
him his exequatur.

The grounds on which General Lees
recall was asked are not officially dis
closed. 1t is known, however, that the
Spanish government has chafed for
some time over General Lees presence
in Havana, although this had never
taken the form of a definite protest
prior to the present time. 1t began to
assume a more serious aspect shortly
after the arrival of the Maine at Ha-
vana. At that time General Lee es-
