Chicago. oct. 1S.-The University OF
Chicago has conferred upon President
Mckinley the degree OF doctor OF laws
Eight hundred people applauded to the
echo as President Harper placed around
the shoulders Of the nations executive
the hood OF purple-purple to indi-
cate, as DIR. Harper said in Latin, that
the recipient of the degree had sur
passed other men in native genius and
devotion to it,"
The address on behalf Of the tr,7.se ees
was given by Rev. DIR. Alonzo X Par
ker. He spoke on The Firm Founda-
tion of National Peace" and his con-
Guiding sentences were terse and sig
nificant. He finished as follows: "Di-
vine indeed were the tasks for which the
good sword eXcalibar was appointed.
1t must drive out the heather hordes
from the fair fields they would lay
waste; 1t must ruthlessly cut down the
cruel and bloody men by whom the de-
fenceless were oppressed. In holy ven
geance IL must make short work with all
who withstand established order and
defy righteous laws; but TO the divinely
appointed task of the sword there is an
end. Hail the promise Of that day.
Then in the great banqueting hall,
where the feast of the jubilee OF peace
is spread. men shall turn from the
solemn glory of the windows which en-
blazon righteous wars TO fix their eyes
upon the great western window, vacant
no longer, but glowing with the pic
tured record of that achievement most
illustrious and memorable in human
annals. in which war itself is conquered
and the sword of warfare is cast away"
After leaving the university the presi-
dent was driven TO the First regiment
armory. where he received the public
Informally. Great crowds thronged the
streets, clamoring for admission TO the
armory, and only a part succeeded in
meeting the president during the time
scheduled for the reception. In the

president at hotel by President Harper
of the university.

RULING ON STAMPS.

Washington. oct. ls.-The acting COM
missioner OF the internal revenue
bureau has held that adhesive internal
revenue stamps sold 10 persons exclu-
siyely for resale may DE redeemed upon
presentation OF the same through the
collector from whom they were pur-
chased accompanied by a claim for al
lowance, together with an affidavit Of
the fact of purchase. This ruling is
made upon the assumption that in many
cases the purchase OF adhesive stamps
for resale was iSr the disinterested pur-
pose of assisting the government in the
distribution OF the stamps when such
assistance was eagerly sought. and so
exercised for the time being quasi pub
lie duties This rule. however, does not
apply to stamps imprinted on checks.
drafts or other instruments, nor TO any
adhesive documentary stamps other
than those OF the denomination of two
cents. Therefore the only stamps for
which allowance can be made are the
adhesive documentary stamps OF the
denomination of two cents and pro-
prietary stamps other than private die
stamDS. -

CUT THE THREAD OF DIPLOMACY

Paris, Oct. 1S.-The interchanges re-
garding Cuba are now so advanced that
the Spaniards Will not fail to understand
the United States determination, dis
closed in these dispatches on Saturday,
not TO assume part or the whole of the
so-called Cuban debt of $400. 600 600 1t
should not, however, be understood that
the Americans during the course Of the
controversy have been unmindful OF GER
tain local burdens, like the municipal
obligations Of the Cuban cities, railroads
and kindred properties, local and per-
manent. The American attitude in Cuba
is held not TO be that Of an acquiring
power. eithey Of territory or of its real
or constructive obligations.
The opposing Spaniards keenly con-
tend that sovereignty involves burdens
as well as blessings. and that both
should pass together from Spain. Close
ly following this contention the Span
iards are pressing for q construction Of
the word "rellnquish" in the Cuban ar
ticle of the protocol. "We must" they
urge, ''relinquish sovereignty over Cuba,
but 70 whom? We have not agreed to
relinquish II to the Cubans; we reln-
quish IL to the United states" Thus,
crystalliZing their reasoning and insis-
tence, the Spaniards bind debt and SOW
ereignty together and urge that the re-
ninqhishmeut must be to~thev United
States.
While this contention is keenly and
vigorously supported, IT has not shaken
the position of the Americans. who cut
the thread of Spanish diplomacy i'm the
middle of "relinquish1 by practically
assuring tAe Spaniards that th-y- need
not cherish anxiety as to whom to re-
linquish. but to conform to the fourth
article OF the protocol. which pledges
Spain that Cuba, Porto Rico and the
other Spanish islands Of the West In
dies shall be Immediately evacuated"

London, Oct. 1s.-A despatch to a
London news agency from Paris says:
Monday The conference reached a
crisis for the first time. Judge Day
presented the demands Of the American
commissioners i'm threatening words
He said that delay was the only posi-
bic object attainable by the persistent
efforts OF the Spanish commissioners 10
saddle the United States with the Gu
ban debt, and would be tolerated no
longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any part
of the debt
The Spanisrds replied that this
placed Spain I'm position Of repudiatfng
or OF refusing thef face value OF the
Cuban bonds from 30 10 go per cent, pay
ing only half the stipulated interest on
the reduced value. Before they would
adopt either alternative they would
surrender to the United States the en-
tire Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the sur
render Of the Philippines would proba-
bly, be demanded, irrespective of the
Cuban or any other debt.
"Ths-to the Spaniards the first in
timation OF the intentions OF the United
States as TO the Philippines-resulted

structcd him to demand the entire sur
render of Porto Rico, together with the
evacuation of Havana on or before Nov.

the gates OF the city ready TO take pos

There was no alternative offered in
the case of either Of these demands, and
the session consequently was very
brief. The American commissioners
