PARIS, Oct 3-Major-G General Mer-
rit, who commanded the American troops
at Manila, arrived here today from Mar
seilles. He repaired to the Grand Hotel
de rAthenee and declined to be inter-
viewed, as he was suffering from ia
tigue. The General did not see the
United States Peace Commissioners be-
fore the opening of the joint session to-
day.
The American commissioners held a
session this morning at their own offices,
preparatory to the second meeting with
the Spanish Commissioners, which be-
gan at the Commissions rooms in the
Foreign Office at 2 o'clock this after
noon. The plan of work directed to be
prepared by the secretaries has not been
perfected, as the Secretary of the Span
ish Commission did not arrive here until
today.
Today's session lasted until o'clock, at
which hour the commissioners adjourned
to meet at o'clock next Friday afternoon,
such interval being desirable and necessary
to allow separate consideration by each
commission of matters requiring such
course before the joint commission. The
interval will thus be filled with work by
each commission, the ultimate results be-
ing thus facilitated.
The opinion Is now held that the work
of the commission may be finished within
a month from the present time.
While 1t is the general impression that
today's meeting was again devoted to pre-
liminaries, and that the adjournment to
Friday was taken only to enable the Sec
retaries to draw up a schedule Of work,
the representative of the Associated Press
| learns that the session was highly impor-
tant and that the Americans have made
! a demand Of such character that the Span
| iards find 1t necessary to ask for an ad-
journment In order to enable them to con-
suit with the government at Madrid.
The Philippine Question
| It is believed that the question concerns
the Philippines, and it is known that the
Americans are highly pleased at having
so soon reached what they consider a very
important phase of the negotiations and
consider the two sessions thus far held as
very satisfactory to America The fact
that a number of the commission expressed
the belief that work would be completed
within a month indicates happy frame Of
mind.
The American commissioners will be
received by President Faure at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
Transports Movements
MANILA, Oct. S.-The United States
transport Scandia has arrived here and the
transport Arizona has departed.
The American authorities here have in
vited all the school teachers to resume the
instruction Of their classes. The schools
have been closed since the surrender of
Manila.

Enforce the Law.

We have often in the past expressed
in these columns our opinion on the
question which McGeary, of Burlington,
is now bringing into prominence al
Montpelier. The outcome Of the ques
ton seems certain, but it must have a
result in causing many Of our more
thoughtful citizens to ponder the sub.
ject even more carefully than they have
in the past. Vermont has stood firm
in pasl years in retaining the prohibito.
ny law. The three northern New Eng.
land states have endured jokes and jeers
on that law. We are not ready to
give up the law yet and say that pro.
hibitlon is not the best thing for us,
but we are willing to say that the pro.
hibitory law as it is now enforced in St.
Johnsbury and, other Vermont towns is
nothing better than farce. 1t is very
doubtful whether matters would be I'm.
proved in the least by high license
law but there would not at any rate be
the mockery Of law unenforced. We
would suggest that before the law is
changed, our citizens wake up and try
the benefits Of prohibitory law en-
toced and upheld by the people of our
towns and state. st. Johnsbury Re

and factions we are waiting to hear
from you in regard to the present
condition of matters at Montpelier.
AS we look at it, ring, clique
governor is running everything and
has been running everything for his
own personal aim. Are we right ?
The extra session Of the legislature
last spring was called really for the
purpose of extending aid to Smiths
railroad, ostensibly for extra pay for
soldiers. Yet that was the boldest
faced pretense to be immagined, as
parties offered to advance the required
sum and save the State two thousand
dollars. Behold now the condition |
The law passed last spring for the
general good, under a peculiar and
unexpected turn Of affairs, is found
in the way of Gov. Smiths railroad,
and now, we are told, it is proposed
to repeal it
What of this alec. That we have
a governor OF such superlstive apdac
ity that he boldly makes the PROPOSE

act laws, to attract the "storm
driven" tax dodgers Of other states
and bind ourselves to give them an
exemption for thirty years, or so, and
for the sole consideration, presume

however, that he would insist that
they bind themselves to stand read,
at any and all times to assume the
duties and high responsibilities Of our
head offices.

would come when should be ashamed
to be called a Vermonter, but it is
fast approaching, nay quite here al

DRY reputation we have already ac-
quired in our sister states, as repre-,
scented by their leading papers.
Not word, not peep, has yet
been made in our legislature towards

The advocates Of the creation of a
special insurance commission have
failed to show where any benefit will
be gained to the State by such move
ment. When the supervision of in.
surance companies was inaugurated
in this State its principle object was
understood TO be to protect citizens
from fraudulent companies. This idea
has been fully met under the present
system and appears TO be perfectly
satisfactory to the rank and file of
citizen. Certainly nothing could be
gained to the State from a financial
standpoint. In fact there is no de-
