Proposition as to Philippines
Spaniards Seem to be Very
Expert In Devising Them.

Paris, Nov. 25.-Is is now koown
that Spain will exhaust her time limit
which expires on Monday. before reply
ing to the American offer regarding
the Philippine islands. In the mean.
while the Spaniards are canvasiug the
entire field and exhaustipg every
resource to postpone the inevitable.
As cabled to the Associated Press on
Wednesday. they could not accept the
American uitima.um as 6osl without
asking If it really we're So That
applied to the time limit. Now, the
Spauiards apparently doubt the fixed
oess of the amount the Americans
offered for the Philippines and to- day
they sent CON omnuuicatiou to the Amer
ican commissioners. asking if the latter
would accept counter proposition by
Spain to cede the Philippines for $780,
900. 900. Spain imagiues the Amer
leans might be willing to lop off the
great island of Mindaoao from the
Philippines aud pay Spain $50, 900. 600
for what would remain, instead OF $40,
100000 now offered for the entire
archipelago
Spaio will learn in response to such
inquiries that Americans employ the
word ul:inatum to signify ultimate
conditions
However streuuously Spain may seek
to increase ber money advantage for
the cession of the Philippines, she will
finally be compelled to know that the
Uoi:ed States offer meaus $40. 900. 900,
90 more. and no less, apd tba; the
whole archipelago must pass to the
United States for that sum.
Spain. before giving up or turning
away will also propose some alternative
bargain of the Caroioes or the Canary
islands to be held 10 the possession Of
the United States in addition to the
Philippine islands. on condition that
Spain De permitted to retain ber sover'
eigoty 10 the Philippines. ln other
words, Spain would cede certain terri
tory 10 the Cayolipes and Canagles and
the control of the Philippines By the
Un:sed States under a nominal Spanish
sovereignty and. as further induce.
mens, propose that the United States
snail pay Spain 90 money on account of
the Philippine islands.

The Civilization of China.

Tacoma, Wash Nov. % The
Northern Pacific liner Olympia brings
the following Oriental advices:
ga telegram published by the
Chuwo states that Sir Claude Mac
Donald, the British minister at Pekin,
will probably make the following
representations to the Chinese gov.
ernment on the subjoined points at
an early date:
"First, the treaty powers viii! not
recognize the restoration of the re-
gency on so fimsy pretext as the
ill.health of the emperor, which
is not sufficient to justify change OF
the sovereignty.
"Second, the work of reform stated
by the emperor must not be suspend
ed, not only in the interests of peace
in the east, but for the sake also Of
the maintenance OF the Chinese eua-
pire
"Third. it is contrary to principles
of humanity to visit capital punish
ment upon political antagonists, and
this practice must must be discour-
aged in future.
"Fourth, that the Chinese govern
ment must take greater precautions
to prevent assaults by natives on
foreign residents in Pekin in broad
daylight.
"The British minister is now con.
Quoting negotiations with the minis
ters of other powers on the subject,
but no decision has as yet been ar
rived at"

Can't be Reduced.
The Tax Levy Must Stand as
it is.

In view of the fact that taxes are
being go slowly paid, evidently
from the low price of cotton, people
are beginning to discuss the ques-
ton whether it will not be possible
for the Legislature to reduce the levy
at the coming session
DR.. Zimmerman, treasurer of the
state, is probably more familiar with
the financial condition of the state
than any other man In it. In speak
ing on the general aspect OF affairs
he expressed the opinion this morn
ing that the levy could not be re.
duced, provided even the necessary
appropriations for the government
are confined as they are There is
no extravaganza in appropriations.
On the contrary there is in many
instances disposition shown to cut
down the expenses of departments
absolutely to the proper conduct Of
the government.
Mr.. Zimmerman planned that the
great loss of the revenue from the
phosphate industry made it impos-
sible to reduce the levy. This
meant a loss of several hundred
thousand dollars which annual y went
into the treasury.
From interviews and letters pub
lished in the county papers it is ev.
ident that legislatures are set on cut
ting down expenses, many of them
advocating the reduction of sala-
ries of officers Such bills come up
yearly, but generally amount to noth
ing.
Even if they were scaled as some
Legislators want them the situation
would not be materially be affected
the levy would not be decreased.
1t seems that the only thing to do
is to grin and bear it, now that we
are in hard luck, and hope for bet.
