REASONS FOR ACCEPTANCE.
Senator Gray Thought Public Good Demanded
Personal Sacrifices.

wilmington, Del. Sept. 9.-Senator
Gray, after having previously notified
PRESIDENT Mckinley that he must de-
cline the appointment as one of the
commissioners to arrange the terms of
peace between this country and Spain.
decided, today, to accept the honors.
Ills declination, made known, Wednes-
DAY, was followed by a visit from As
sistant Secretary of State John Bas-
sett Moore. himself a native of Della
ware. who will accompany the commits
sion to Paris as secretary and council.
Mr.. Moore came to this city. yesterday.
at the request of the President to ask
senator Gray to reconsider his decli-
nation.
Mr.. Moore set forth that the ones
tons which will come before the conn
mission would be of the most import
ant to this country and took the posi-
ton that under the circumstances II
was matter Of public duty for the
senator to lay aside all private inter-
ests ana accept the appointment. AL
though against his personal inclina-
tions, Senator Gray finally agreed TO
become one of the commissioners. He
IS appreciative of the honor shown
MIN through the Presidents tender Of
the appointment after he had once de-
clined.

PEACE COMMISSION
Completed by the Ntm;na-
ton Of Senator Gray.
By His Selection President Gives DEM
ocratic Party Representation.
Commission Will Conner with President 0slsse
Sailing for Paris.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The President.
today named Senator George Gray Of
Delaware as the fifth member of the
peace commission, which stands: Sec
reeary Day, Senators Davis. Frye and
Gray and Hon. Whitelaw Reid.
In selecting Senator tray the Presi-
denl has given Democratic represenea-
ton on the commission. The appoints
ment probably will necessitate the re-
tirement of Mr.. Gray from the Anglo
American commission which is con-
Quoting its sessions in Canada. as this
commission will resume its wark about
the time the peace commissioners sail
for Paris.
The position was offered to the sena
tor several days ago. but at that time
was declined. The President, however.
further urged Mr.. Gray to accept. and
his final agreement was secured. to-
day.
Senator Gray is one Of the best
known men in public life. having been
prominent in the Senate for the last
IL years. He was born in New Castle.
Del, in 1910, and was graduated at
Princeton. He served as attorney gen.
eral of Delaware and later was ap-
pointed to the Senate when Thomas F..
Bayard entered the first Cleveland cab
met as secretary of state. Mr. Gray
has been in the Senate continuously
since then. He is a member of the
Senate committee on foreign relations,
thus making three members of that
committee-Davis. Frye and Gray-on
the peace commission. On foreign
questions Mr.. Gray has generally been
rgarded as opposed TO expansion, his
Senate votes having been given against
the annexation of Hawaii.
Now that the commission is cOmplet-
ed it is expected that the Americas.
case will be made up and The commits
sion given it's final Instructions. The
commissioners will meet here about the
10th inst, prior to sailing for Paris,
at which time they will meet the Presi-
dent and be made aware of the views
OF the administration.
The announcement Of Senator Gray's
name was made shortly after the cabi-
net met. Acting Secretary Moore was
called to the White House during the
meeting and the final decision was then
announced. Senator Allison and other
public men who were at the White
House at the time. expressed strong
approval of the selection.

The Journal wishes to thank the
management through the columns OF
it's paper for the manner in which they
have treated it's representatives during
the week.
Secretary and Mrs Clarke will leave,
Saturday evening, for their home In
North Arson. With President POM
pilly they can feel proud of the record
that they have made this year. Mr..
Clarke was congratulated all around,
today; by the throng that came in the
gates on his reelection as secretary
of the association. BY the success OF
his first year and by his geniaiify
towards all he has become very popu-
lar, and it now looks as though he
could have the office as long as ne
wanted it.
President Pompilly has been III, this
week, and although he has been under
the physicians care he has always been
on the grounds and attended to his du-
ties. In fact he was SO ill, Thursday
evening, that he was obliged to call
Col. Osgood to the presiding chair.

The War Situation.

The management of this war is
enough to make every strong and
healthy true American sick at heart.
1t seems that the chief purpose of
those managing the war is not to
take Cuba and to whip Spain but
to pile up an immense debt upon
the people. Cuba could have been
taken thirty days ago easier than it
can be taken to-day. We had then
an army and navy big enough to
capture the island in ten days. To.
day the island is much more strong
ly fortified than it was then.
Since Dewey yictory at Manila,
over a month q here has been alb
solutely nothing done worth men,
tioning. We have believed all along
that the bond sharks who control
this administration would never
allow Cuba to be taken until Con-
gress provided for an issue of bonds.
They have now got the bonds and
the nation is mortgaged to Shylock.
We sincerely trust that the war
will now be pushed to a vigorous
conclusion before the greed Of Shy
lock demands another bond issue.

Silver City Avalanche. The aily

Silver City Avalanche The silver
republicans are not worrying them
selves over the "arbitrariness" OF
the populists in fixing the time and
place for their convention without
consulting the other silver forces,
as the Morrow Mirror would have
us believe. No sir, not at all. The
Silver Republicans have acted con-
sistently in this matter and used
their best efforts for union of all
parties in the interests of silver.
Now that the Populist party ignored
the invitation, and have gone their
way, deliberately striking blow
at the very cause they have claimed
to be earnest advocates of, bimetal-
ism, we would say they should be
allowed to pursue the ''even tenor
of their way" nndisturbed. Had
they been earnest in the advocacy
of the silver issue, their convention
would have been held at the time
and place of the other silver parties.
1t begins to look as though the
goldbugs would swipe them, "organ-
ization and all, ]" this fall.

A story is told of Aguinaldo, the
leader of the Philippine insurgents,
that shows him to be man of re.
markable courage. Soon after he
joined the revolt, the governor gen.
eral offered reward of $4,000 for
his head. Aguinaldo sent him q
message thanking him for the offer
and informing him that be would
himself call for the reward. Soon
after, while hurricane was raging. a
priest presented himself at the gate

passed in, the guard dutifully ga.
luting him. The priest passed on
into the private Office of the gov
ernor general. It was Aguinaldo.
do you know me?" he asked. The
Spaniard did recognize his visitor.
Aguinaldo reminded him of his
promise to call for the reward and
commanded him to be quick about
handing it over. The money was
counted out and the daring man
made his escape, though he narrow
y escaped death by q pistol shot
fired by the governor. A man who
will perform such . feat az that
may be understood to be practically
without fear.

Late advices from Washington
state that the administration has
determined upon state policy con-
corning the Philippines. 1t is the
evident intention of the government
to annex the islands. This policy
has not been hastily decided upon
and it was outlined before Admiral
Dewey began the operations which
have been brought to such a sue
cessful stage. This accounts in a
measure for the vigor with which
the president is pushing the annex
alion of Hawaiian islands. The
Philippine policy will then be out
lined to the powers.
