Paris, Nov. 1.-The meeting of the Spanish American commissioners be. gan at 2:15 D. m., and ended at 3 p. m.
 The Spanish commissioners present. ed long document in answer to the American argument which was sub mitted last week. By mutual consent the memorandum was handed 10 the Americans without being read. and the meeting adjourned to Saturday next. The Spanish communication will be translated and it's contents will be discussed by the United States com. missioners at their usual daily session Thursday.
 Alleged Contentious of the Spaniards.
 The Spaniards, in their communca- tion, reaffirmed the position which they have assumed against the discus. sion here of Spain's Philippine sover- eighty. They insist that the words Shall determine the control, disposi- ton and government of the Philip pines" in Article of the peace proto- col, do not warrant any reference to Spain's withdrawal from the Philip pines except on her own terms, and therefore, the Spaniards propose arbi. tration on the construction to be placed on he words .'The control, dis position and government"
 Proposition May Now be Made.
 Washington, Nov. 17.-Up to this point in the discussin at Paris there has been no attempt to name the ex- act figures in relation to the amount of money that might be paid to Spain by the United States on account of the Philippines. Such, for instance, was the statement that the United States would reimburse Spain flor the Pacific expenditures" made on account of the Philippines, for no one here at the time had an exact knowledge of what these expenditures amounted in the aggregate.
 The Commissioners are Informed.
 This has been ascertained, however, to the satisfaction of the American commissioners, at least, and they will name the exact amount of money which the United States is willing to pay over to Spain on this account What is proposed is a cash payment to Spain, for the United States does not purpose to enter into any relations whatever with any of the holders of any of the bonds issued by Spain. not withstanding the efforts of some of the European powers to bring these results about.
 officials are Mute.
 As to the amount which will be of fered to Spain, the officials here are mute, but it is believed to lie some. where between S20,000.OO0 and s40,0e0.. GOO. Our commissioners do not look for an unconditional rejection of our offer, but believe there will be an at. tempt on the nart of 1 he Spanish com.

favor of the former giving him his entire
support thereby the colored people uniting
on only one candidate Mr.. Woodson not

one vote Mcclure receiving twenty and
Woodson nineteen no fault can be given
to Blanchard nor the colored people be-
cause they were not united. We are
very sorry that not single colored man
got clerical place. While we have no
grievance but for the interest Of the party
and as matter Of politics the G. o. P.

colored votes must receive consideration

HANNA VAS ELECT
ED SENATOR.

On last Tuesday, seventy-three
republicans stood loyal to the in
structions of the state convention
and voted for Marcus A. Hanna,
for both short and long terms in
congress. The voting was on
strict party lines with the excep-
ton of five republicans that was
controlled by Kurtz or Bushnell,
but agreed upon McKisson Of
Cleveland. He was the rinegade
republican who went before the
democratic caucus and pledged
himself, if elected to the United
States senate, that he would stand
on the Chicago platform. Up till
within an hour of the meeting of
the Legislature, did this combina-
ton think they had.6enator Hanna
beaten. At an early hour the
scence of the conflict was trans
terred from the hotels to the halls
of legislation. At a very early
hour the state house was crowded
by those that we're taking more
interest in the election Of a United
States senator, than they did in
the Inauguration Of the governor.
When the doors were open there
was great rush for the galleries
and lobbies, until all the available
space was taken, and then the
anxious crowd watched till Drosts
called out loudly his vote for
Hanna Then the cheering began,
the republicans stood on their
chairs and shouted till they were
hoarse for Hanna's victory. The
drowd rushed to the Neil House
to congratulate the great leader Of
their party. The hall and streets
were turned into place ofjolifca-
ton. This manifestation simply
proves to the country that the
masses are for Hanna, even if a
few selfish ambitious seeking poll
ticians would try to defeat him.
