SIGNING Of PEACE TREATY
DOCUMENT MAY BE FINISHED
BY SATURDAY.
Very Painful to spaniards to Be Oh
liged to Haggle Over Details-No
Session Yesterday.

Paris, Dec. 7.-There was no joint
session of the peace commissions today,
as the Soaniards are still occupied in
translating the American answer to
their proposals in regard to the status
of Spanish subjects in the annexed ter
ritory. AS cabled last evening. the
eight principal articles of the treaty
are settled. and all that remains for
the commissioners to attend to is the
settlement of the minor points of the
treaty. The latter will probably be
signed on Saturday next, for the Span
iards are anxious as the Americans to
finish the work in hand.
Secretary Ojeda of the Spanish COM
mission said today:
'It is very painful for us to remain
here haggling over details, since the
main points have beel settled, and we
have been obliged to relinquish our col
onies.
''All the work will be finished this
week. The commercial treaty between
the United States and Spain will be
negotiated upon the establishment
of diplomatic relations, and the ques-
tion of Spanish ships and products in
Cuba and Puerto Rico will be included
therein"

make, as in the case of the Hawaiian
commission, came before the senate,
coordinate branch of the government.
In the case of the joint high commits
sion now negotiating a treaty with
Great Britain, and the peace commits
sion now in Paris, there were the same
objections, which applies with greater
force. Senators should hold aloof from
such positions because their acts as
commissioners were to be passed upon
by themselves as senators, a very rep
rehensible practice, in the opinion of
Mr.. Hoar. He intimated that senators
acting for the president as a commits
sion, which in dealing with a foreign
country had to act as a body, might
be placed in the position of supporting
cause which they, as senators, would
reject.
The method of appointing senators on
commissions was defended by Senators
Morgan and Platt of Connecticut, who
claimed there was nothing inconsistent
in doing so.
The debate then became somewhat
general and the constitutional preroga-
tives of the president and the rights
! of the senate were discussed at length,
upon the legal and technical phase of
1.-The subject.
= OlH6T speakers III the controversy
were Senators Chandler and Bacon in
opposition to the too free exercise by
the president of the power of appoint
| ing senators to other positions. They
| pointed out that there was a law on
the statute books inhibiting citizens
from holding two offices with pay at
the same time, and insisted that such
appointments were contrary to the
spirit of American institutions.
| Senator Aldrich was among those
who contended for the right of the pres
| ident to call into service of the coun-
| try the talents Of senators and members
of congress in other lines than those
which their offices indicated. The con-
| tention on this side was to the effect
! that the practice was an old one, and
| they cited a supreme court decision tC
show that two offices might be held
by the same persons in cases where the
services did not conflict.
! Senator Vest was among those who
attacked the practice of appointing
senators to the place of commissioners
! These senators were often called up0r
to pass on their own acts.
All senators making speeches, espec-
tally disclaimed any intention of per
sonally attacking any senator occupy
ing the position of commissioner.
After two and a half hours of dis.
cussion, the question was referred tx
the judiciary committee, with instruc
tions to investigate and report upon tht
! nomination of the commissioners.

Joseph Oberndorfer, H. w. Early and
J. w. Skinner for one additional roll
and Messrs. Moreton, Martin and
Goodwin for the other, who quickly got
to work and the long line Of people
waiting to cast their votes quickly
melted away. In the early part of the
day Symons had the best of it. His
supporters had been organizing quietly
for four days, while the Critchlow peo-
pie had only a few hours to get their
forces in shape. In the afternoon, how
ever, the Critchlow voters came out
more numerously, and at 4:30 o'clock it
was claimed that the regular nominee
was a little ahead. Voting continued
lively until the polls closed at o'clock,
and then it was admitted by both sides
that it was a very close election. The
count was completed by $50 o'clock and
showed that Critchlow had won by 62
majority. During the entire day the
Mormon and Gentle question was pain
fully in evidence. Mr.. Symons was par
ticularly active in airing his religion;
he threw down the gauntlet, remark
ing: Yes, this is a Mormon and Cen
tile fight, and we Mormons will show
you what we can do" This is the third
unsuccessful attempt Mr.. Symons has
made to get on the the school board.

washington, D. c., Dec. 7.-Senator
Cannon called at the war department this
afternoon and urged the early dismissal
of the Utah troops now in the Philippines.
The adjutant general assured the senator
that the Philippine volunteers would all
be mustered out upon the arrival of re-
lieving regulars, and that they would be
discharged in the order of their arrival
in the islands, General COrbin also said
that the exact date Of the return of the
volunteers would depend on the conve-

Washington, Dec. THE senate had
a long debate in executive session to-
day upon the question of confirmation
of Hawaiian commissioners. The de-
bate was started by Senator Hoar, who
made vigorous protest against the
practice of appointing senators upon
such a commission. He said the sena-

CUBANS MAKE TROUBLE.
Armed Band of Insurgents Parade
Through Santiago.


Santiago de Cuba, Dec. To-day is
the anniversary of the death of General
Antonio Maceo and has been celebrated
among the Cubans in Santiago. A me
mortal service was held this morning
at the cathedral, which was crowded.
Less than two years ago the same ca
thedral witnessed TIE Deum sung by
the same choir in celebration of Ma
ceo's death. Then the cathedral was
draped with Spanish colors. Today the
entire edifice was in black, interspersed
with a few Cuban emblems.
Considerable annoyance was Occa-
stoned to the United States authorities
by the fact that some seventy-five men,
Cubans, marched the entire length Of
st. Thomas street, armed with rifles
and machetes, although all Cubans
are we'll aware that such conduct is
strictly against the regulations, armed
bodies, other than United States troops,
not being allowed.
The armed squad fired three volleys,
many of them using ball cartridges,
whose bullets, striking the upper por-
tionS Of the cathedral caused the bell
ringers to flee from their post.
A band of CubanS on horseback en-
tered the premises of the Spanish club
here this evening and broke several
lamps with their matchetes.
The United States authorities acted
promptly. AS result of the outrage
| at least half the police will be dis
| charged.

FIGHT IN THE SECOND.
Walker and Cutler Men Were Very
Active Indeed.

In the Second there were four polling
places. The most activity was at the
two polls in the Short Line building,
that being the polling place for the
most populous districts. Carriages
bearing the name of Walker were seen
everywhere, and Cutler and Walker
tickets were peddled around by an
army of adherents of each. 1t was
quiet and decorous, and although the
religious question entered into the
fight, it was not so Extensively in evi-
dence as it was in the First and the
lines were not so definitely drawn,
many MormonS working hard and
faithfully for Walker because he was
the regular nominee of the convention.

BARNARD MANURE.
How to Control Fermentation and Pre-
vent Losses of Ammonia.

How to Control Fermentation and Pre-
vent Losses of Ammonia.
AS every farmer knows, if the manure
heap is too loosely built the decomposi-
ton is too rapid The materials useful
for the formation of humus in the soil
are destroyed, and the nitrogen, espe-
cially that of the urine, escapes into the
air, largely in the form of ammonia. On
the other hand, if the manure is too
FIRMLY packed the decomposition may
be too slow and the manure will not be-
come sufficiently disintegrated to pro-
duce the best effect in the soil.
A powerful means of controlling fer
mentation is the supply of moisture.
The addition of water lowers the tenn
perature and thus retards fermentation.
BY filling up the pores of the mass
and excluding the air it checks aerobic
fermentation when this becomes too
active. French authorities maintain
that the principal precautions necessary
to prevent losses of ammonia consist
simply in regularly and properly water
ing the manure with the teachings In
case Of drought, if the teachings are in
sufficient, the lack should be made up
with water.
The need of keeping manure moist is
especially marked in case of horse ma
nure, which is naturally dry and de-
composes with great rapidity. The same
is true in less degree of sheep manure.
The common and harmful fire fang
ing" is the result of an insufficient sup
ply of water and may be readily checked
by sprinkling. The sprinkling, however,
should be regularly done and the heap
kept in constant state Of moistre,;
otherwise the alternate wetting and
drying will result in loss of ammonia
