PEACE CONFERENCE
Belief That One or More of the Span
ish Commissioners Will Resign.
A SATISFACTORY TREATY DOUBTFUL.
The Spanish Members Not likely to Sign
Amy Treaty That the Americans
Would SIgn-AnxIety Felt
in Madrid.

Paris, Oct. 31.-Senor Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish peace COM
mission, is i'll. This causes some doubt
.as to whether there will be joint
session of the commissions to-day. IL
he is unable to attend 1t is unlikely
that the Spaniards would consent to
aenter the conference TO take up the
Philippine question for initial consid-
seration. There is a strong impression
which has been growing here recently
that the Spanish, upon receiving def
mite assurances of the American de-
Termination to take the entire Philip
pine group, would quit the confer
.ence and all negotiations are modified
by the attitude of the Spanish news
papers arriving here. These are found
to have wheeled into line with the
.Epoca of October ~, which demanded
that the Spanish commissioners should
ssign a treaty in Paris, no matter how
generous the conditions imposed by the
Americans. Nevertheless, despite this
attitude of the Madrid press and de-
spite the denial given out Friday last
to the correspondent of the Associated
press by Spanish commissioner, who
denied that the Spaniards had any in
-tention of withdrawing, the Americans
here will not be surprised if one or
more of the Spanish commissioners re-
sign and practically close the negotia-
tions.
This feeling.is based upon the fact
that Senior Rios early last week would
have resigned if his doing so would
not have imperiled the Sagasta min
istry; and the reasoning is that it,
while pressing the Cuban debt, which
is not mentioned in the protocol and
which the Spanish commissioners in
zsist should not be left to Spain alone,
Senior Rios was inclined to resign, he
might, in the open field of contention
as to the Philippines, feel that resig-
nation would help Senior Sagasta, on
the ground that the demand of the
United States for the entire Philippine
group would be extortionate. 1t was
believed here last night, on the eve of
taking up the main question, that the
Spanish commissioners are not likely
to acquiesce here in any treaty that
the Americans would sign.
ANXIETY FELT IN MADRID.
London, Oct, 3l.--The Madrid CORE
.spondento of the StarSlard says: "There
is much anxiety in Madrid as to the
result of Mondays joint sitting of TIE
peace commission. Inasmuch as Spain
excepted the Cuban articles of the pro-
tocol only on condition of subse-
rquent agreement being arrived at on
the Philippine question, she will
.strenuously resist any infringement of
her rights in the Philippines without
compensation"

Agent. Are Not Responsible.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 27.-Circuit
Judge Slower yesterday decided that
FIRE insurance agents are not RESPONSE
BILE for the solvency Of the companies
they represent. The Kansas City Brick
company, which was damaged by fire
recently, had policy in the State In-
vestment company, of California, which
failed after the policy was taken out.
The brick company then brought suit
against the local agents of the insur-
ance company to recover the value of
the policy. Judge Slower decided for
the defendants.

AS A MATTER OF COURSE.
Spanish CommissiOners Agree to Accept the
Views of Americans Regarding tho
Cuban Debt

Paris, Oct. 2S.--The American com
missioners have firmly declined
to assume for the United States the
entire or joint responsibility for the
Spanish financial conditions, and the
Spanish commissioners have finally
abandoned the effort and have agreed
that the Cuban article of the protocol
shall, without conditions, have place
in the ultimate treaty of peace. 1t
was not until Monday that they be-
came actually convinced that the
Americans, who had from the outset
made a refusal to accept the Cuban
debt meant exactly what they said.
In spite Of the fact that the Spanish
commissioners had doubts of succeed
ing, their hope of so doing has been so
keen and their contention has been so
vigorously prosecuted that the final
conviction of their inability to win
their point brought the Spaniards such
shock and depression that there were
grave doubts as to the continuance OF
the negotiations.
All differences, If any existed, re-
garding Porto Rico and the selection
of the island of Guam, were also ar
ranged by a mutual understanding,
and the commissioners found them.

pine question, which will be taken W

Ample Revenues for Federal E1penqea.

Washington, Oct 29.-Ample rev.
enues for the payment of federal ex.
penses and the maintenance OF gar
risons seem likely to be derived from
the customs duties in Cuba, if the coli
lections thus far afford test. A dis
patch from Santiago states that $780,
900 will be collected in customs duties
during the month of October. This
does not appear to be large item in
itself, but as it is at the rate of 81, 2O0,-
600 at that port, it is believed that the
restoration of order and the develop
ment Of trade will increase the amount
TO 81. 500, 600 per year.

Chicago, Oct. GA Washington dis
patch to the Tribune says: "Spain has
protested against the battleships Ore
gon and Iowa going around Cape Horn
to the Philippine islands and demands
their return to the United States,
claiming the action in sending these
ships to Manila is n violation of the
terms of the protocol. Spain claims
that Admiral Deweys fleet cannot DO
reinforced during the armistice and
that the statu quo must be main
tanned. This is probably in retaliation
for the demands made by this govern
ment upon Spain when it was learned
a shipload of reinforcements for tho
island of Panay were discovered on the
Buenos Ayres at Singapore. This gov
eminent peremptorily demanded the
return of these troops, as Spain neg-
lected to observe the formality Of ask

A Bogus Relic.

A very amusing instance of the way
in which museums are imposed upon
has just come to light. At the French
Revolution when the Cathedral of ST.
Denis was so mutilated, the figures
which ornamented the beautiful Goth
&c tomb of Dagobert We're thrown down,
and for the most part destroyed. all
that remained being the body of his
Queen Nantilde and the head of his son
Clovis. When the restorers stepped in
subsequently they made the best they
could of the bits, putting the sons head
on the mothers body and calling it the
RENE Nantilde. Not very long ago
more intelligent restorers put and end
to this absurdity, and there are now to
be seen at St. Denis two statues on
which the original portions of each are
preserved. But meanwhile casts of the
hybrid were taken, and they still exist
in the collection of the Beaux Arts at
Paris and in the National Bavarian
Museum at Munich as examples TO stu
dents Of all that is best in Gothic art
But this Is not all. In the Great Mu-
scum at Berlin, in the sulpture depart
ment, there is a small statute of stone
with various cracks and flaws which
give it an antique appearance. which
is nothing less than smaller and very
fnprudently made counterfeit OF the
hybrid The forger felt the difficulty
which might be raised to placing a
mans head above a woman's bust and
so has modified both to small extent,
but there is not shadow Of doubt that
he has succeeded in palming off most
unexpected imposition where he could
little expect to.-St. James Gazette.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS AFFAIRS.
PRESIDENT DOLE GOING TO
WASHINGTON.
Will Consult With the Admins
tration There on the Subject
of Annexation.

HONOLULU, Jan. 6.-Via San Fran
cisco, Jan. 13.)-President Sanford D.
Dole leaves for Washington by the
steamship Peru on the Sth instant. The
Chief Executive Of this country jour
neys to the Capital of the United States
Tor the purpose of consulting with the
Administration on the subject OF
annexation of these islands to the
greater republic. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Dole will be back here by the mid
die of next month. He will be accom-
panied by his staff officer Major Cur
It's P. Laukea, as Secretary, and Dr. F.
r. Day as physician. During the Pres
fairs Cooper will, besides his present
duties, act as the Chief Executive.
The departure of President Dole was
unanimously decided upon yesterday
at special meeting of the Council OF
State.
After the meeting President Dole
said: 1T has been considered best that
l should go to Washington and meet
the Administration upon the matter of
pending annexation negotiations. / do
not expect to be gone more than six
weeks. Immediately upon arrival in
Washington I shall consult with the
members of the Hawaiian Legation"
This is the first visit of Mr.. Dole to
the United States since 1891, at the
time the late King Kalakau was in San
Francisco.
A member of the Council of State
said: I'VE decided by unanimous vote
that it was wise for Mr.. Dole to pro-
| coed to Washington at this time and
| meet with President Mckinley and his
immediate advisers, and perhaps with
some of the United States Senators and
! foremost American advocates of an
| nexation. 1t is proper and dignified and
patriotic that the head of the annexa-
tionists here, and the head of the we'll
established and permanent Government
of this country, should appear in the
United States and Washington at a
time when the treaty is before Con-
gress, and when all citizens of the great
republic are interested in the annexa-
ton question. We believe that this
policy is correct, and that the move will
result in a material gain for our
cause.
MIR. Dole is a man peculiarly fitted
for just such mission as this. We be-
lieve that he will make a good impress
sion, and that some of the Senators and
perhaps statesmen in more exalted po-
sitionS will conclude, after meeting him,
that some Of the statements that have
been made to the detriment of Mr.. Dole
and his associates are incorrect, to say
the least"
]. o. Carter, a great friend Of the ex-
Queen, will leave to-day for Washing
ton to work against the annexation
treaty. The anti-annexationists here
expect a great deal Of Mr.. Carter. He
is a man Of good points and certain
magnetism that will attract influence.
He will undoubtedly be the worst enc
my Of the treaty sentiment in Hawaii.
