A SECRET MEETING.
Conference Held by the President
and Cabinet at Philadelphia.
THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS At PARIS.
Indications That the Commission win Now

ippines-Lepers sneahing into
the United States.

Philadelphia, Oct. 27.-Immediately
after the reception to the president
last night at the Union league, meet
ing of the chief executive and those
cabinet officers who are in attendance
with him at the peace jubilee was held
at the Hotel Bellevue. Those present
besides the president were Postmaster
General Smith, Secretary of War Alger.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and
Solicitor General Richards, in place of
Attorney General Griggs The utmost
secrecy attended the proceedings, and
it was impossible to learn for what
purpose the meeting was called or
what subjects were discussed. From an
unofficial, though ordinarily reliable,
source 1T was CLEANED that J. c. Kel-
logg, private secretary to Secretary
Hay, reached here last night bearing
dispatches from the state department
Neither Secretary Porter nor any of
the cabinet officers could be seen after
the meeting had ended and no infor-
nation from other sources could be
obtained. The meeting lasted nearly
an hour and was held in the presi-
dents room in the hotel. Local de-
tectives prevented anyone from APP
preaching the vicinity. Mr.. Kellogg,
when questioned about the matter, adj
United being the bearer Of n mes
sage, but said that it was purely a
personal one from Secretary Hay. That
IL was more than some ordinary DELHI
Grafton was apparent from the fact
that Mr.. Kellogg reached the Union
league shortly before IL o'clock and
was Immediately taken to the presi-
dent. He then left and went to the
hotel, the reception coming to an end
very shortly. After the president and
cabinet had concluded their delibera-
tions, Mr.. Kellogg left Immediately
for Washington in special car 1t
was reported some time after mi dnight
that the president may leave for
Washington in the morning and not
remain to review the military jubilee
parade.

free to take up the most important
matter in the protocol, namely, the

he courteous intimation that has beer

the courteous intimation that has been
conveyed to the Spanish commits
sioners that it is time to regard
the Cuban and Porto Rican mat
tiers as settled better progress
will be made toward the final con-
clusion of a treaty of peace. Some APP
prehension has been manifested in GER
tain quarters as to the possible adverse
effect upon the peace commission at
Paris of an upneaval in France. In
the opinion of the state department
officials here there is little danger of
the situation in Paris becoming so
acute as to Justify an abandonment of
the work of the commission on the
ground that the commissioners them
selves are in physical danger II is
always possible that the Spanish com
missiouers, in despair over their fail
ure to force the Cuban debt upon the
United States in any shape, may break
off the sessions, but this is
not regarded as probable. 1t is
suspected the Spanish programme
is to trump up as many points
of difference as possible, relying upon
the sympathy sure to be excited among
European nations by their abandon
ment of each point under compulsion
from the American commissioners, as
the basis for a supreme stand at the
end on the Philippines. This being
the Spanish policy, it is expected that
when the commission takes up the
subject of a coaling station in the La
drone islands there will be many hair
oh t,,tn
Spanish TO any propositions from the
American commissioners, just as many
references or attempts at reference to
Madrid and just as loud protests over
each little point by the Spaniards at
the uncompromising attitude of the
Americans as in the case of Cuba.
LEPERs SNEAK INTO THE UNITED STATES.
Washington, Oct 27.-Treasury Off
cials are exercised over an official
warning that has come to them from
the authorities in Canada that several
people with pronounced cases of lep-
rosy had successfully eluded the Amer
lean immigration inspectors and
crossed the line into the United States.
The officers of the immigration bureau
were reticent concerning the matter,
but admitted they had heard of the
official warning from Canada and had
taken extraordinary means to appre-
bend and expel the lepers
