The Lost Portland.

BosToN, Dec. photographic com.
muuication with Cape Cod has at last
been opened. There is no doubt that
the Portland foundered at sea and
there will not be single survivor.
Where or how the wreck occurred will
never be known. She ship probably
went down somewhere between here
and the Cape. She could not stand the
wrencbing and pounding of the waves,
and with her machinery disabled and
the hull smashed and leaking, she must
have plunged down, carrying every
soul on board with her.
Late accounts from Cape Cod say the
bodies of only 16 of the Portland vic
tins have been recovered, the other 90
bodies found having come from other
wrecks. 1t is likely that few more of
the 142 bodies from the Portland will
ever be found.

friend of General Lee states that the
General is not now candidate for the
Uoited States Senate aud good while

Generals policy" said his friend, sis
to make no announcement OF his with

without any word or suggestion from

pursue. The General is out of it but
there are good and satisfactory reasons
why he should not authorize the an
nouncement to be made for him."

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, SO that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
YOUR make is the best?
II both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.

LONDON, Dec. IA dispatch from

was told that he was too much fatigued
to see any one. There are sinister ru-
mors as to the truth of this report as it
is regarded as unlikely that Picqusrt
would refuse to see friends. 1t is al
legged that the military authorities are
doing their best to keep Picquart from

AN END OF THE CoALITIoN.-The at
tempt to affect coalition between the
States of Nicaragua, Honduras and Sal
vador, to be conducted under a COM
mon administration and known as the
United States of Central America, has
failed completely. The federal oreani-
zers yesterday formally declared the
union dissolved, the three States resuu-
ing, respectively, absolute sovereignty.
The collapse is due to the failure of
the troops of Honduras, acting in be-
half of the federal organizers, to sup
press the outbreak in Salvador against
ehe proposed federation to force Saliva
dor into the union. The prospects are
peaceful. The coalition lasted nomi-
nally one month.

MIR CARNEGIE says steel rails can be
made in this country and sold at SIG g
TOP; 1900 tons Of steel rails were ship
ped from this country TO Bombay last
week, and dozen locomotives were
shipped to Finland short time ago.
Manufacturing facilities are so superior
here, and labor so cheap, that American
manufactures can be sold at lower
rates than those of foreign countries.
Such being the case, why protective
tariff should be continued, except for
the purpose of increasing the cost Of
American products to home consumers,

THE TREATY.

The American and Spanish peace
commissioners held Joint session yes

corporated in the treaty, were laid be-
fore them, as follows:
F!rst-The REIMBURSEMENT by Spain
of sovereignty over and claim of title to
Cuba.
Second-The cession of Porto Rico
and other Spanish possessions in the
West Indies, together with Guam, in
the Lsdrones
Third-The cession of the Philip
pines.

the Philippines.
Fifth-A pledge of the United States
to preserve order in the Philippines
pending the ratification of the treaty.
Sxth-The mutual release of mill.
tary prisoners.
Seventh-The cession by Spain of the
Island of Kusaie, or Strong Island, in
the Carolines.

places within the Spanish jurisdiction.

political prisoners, who are being pun
ished for offsnses in Cuba and the Phil
ippines.

an "open.door" policy and to guaran.
tee such policy TO Spain for at least
twelve years.
Thrteenth-A revival of the treaties
broken by the war.
The first six articles were mutually
agreed upon. The terms of evacuation
CT the Philippines will be practically
the same as those for the evacuation of
Cuba and Porto Rico. AS to the mu.
tual release of military prisoners Spain
will liberate her rebel prisoners ard
the United States will liberate the Ma
Mia garrison and the Spaniards held
by Aguinaldo.
Only eight of the thirteen proposed

garding which the Spaniards desired o
consult Madrid and two upon which
the Americans will consult Washing
ton.
Daily joint sessions will be held here
after and the work of the joint com
mission may be concluded this week,
although so early an end is noc prob
able.
The Spanish Cabinet has sent instruc
lions to Senior Montero Rios, president
of the Spanish Peace Commission, to
request the immediate release of the
Spanish prisoners 10 the Philippine Isl.
ands, to negotiate navigation and tariff
in the Philippines in favor
of Spain, to obtain ratification of sew
eral treaties of commerce with former
Spanish possessions and an arrange
ment OF the debt of the Philippines. He
will also seek to obtain settlement OF
the Cuban debt.
The government will refuse ratlti-
cation of the protocol of 1877.
The Impartial announces that the
desires to keep the Caro-
lines aad will sell part them only 10
case it receives an advantageous offer
and they become q burden to Spain.

West Virginia, which has elected one
democratic Representative in Congress,
will also elect democratic Z 5. Sena-

Virginia and she has justly forfeited a
large share of the afectionate regard OF
her despoiled mother, but, for all that,
it is impossible that all the ties of nat
ural feeling and old association that
bind mother and daughter together
could be completely severed by the in
gratitude of the latter, and so any good
fortune that may fall to her lot is graft
fying to the former.

at least. But, looked at from practi-

revenues do not mean it's entire and
complete ownership, many people do
not understand the definition of the
