ASK GENEROUS TREATMENT
Paris Papers Make a Plea for Poor Old
Spain"
Object of the Articles Which Have
Appeared Mt Intervals About
the Philippines.

PARIS, October 10-The American peace
commission held two sessions this morn
ing. 1t is believed that the questions now
being discussed relate to Cuba and the ad-
justment of the debt of that island.
The Paris newspapers show evidence Of
anxiety in behalf of the Spanish cause.
LIE Journal des Debats on Saturday said
the Philippine question was being consid-
cred by the joint commission, and the
Matn, on Sunday, followed with a similar
statement, alleging that an understanding
regarding Cuba and Porto Rico was pos
sible, "as the United States claims every
thing and Spain refuses nothing, but the
difficulty arises on the question of the
Philippine Islands,
The Matin closed its remarks on the sub
ject by expressing the belief that we shall
see the republic, which has just shown
herself to be so brave and strong, show her
self also generous"
In view of the fact that the joint COM
missions have not yet considered the Phil
1ppine question, the Paris papers appear
to Americans as making the statement tnat
the Philippines are under consideration in
order to be in a position to adjure the
American commission to treat Spain gem
erously.
The Gaulois this morning reviews the po-
litical situation and draws the conclusion
that between the alleged republican pur-
pose of expansion and the democratic op-
position thereto, President Mckinley and
the United States commission will be in
spired after all with the sentiments of
generosity which are the honor of vic
tOriouS nations
The keynote Of these expressions seems
to have been sounded by Spanish diplo-
mat to an American here last week, the
diplomat saying that the United States
should be generous to Spain.
That remark and the utterances of the
French press give to each other added
significance.
A dispatch from Madrid this morning
says the cost of the Cuban and Philippine
campaigns will exceed 3,0VdO00, 900 peSetas.
NJ. Jules Cambon. the former French am
bassador at Washington, arrived in Paris
this morning. He will remain here for two
months.

onense Of Stringing Overhead Wires
in the District.

The attention of the District Commits
sioners has been called by Mr.. W. c. Allea.
electrical engineer, TO the fact that there is
no clause In the police regulations proVil-
ing a penalty for the stringing Of additional
overhead wires in the District, although
such additions to the overhead wires are
expressly prohibited by law. He therefore
recommends that section 5 of article II II
the police regulations be amended so as to
read:
Amy person stringing additional tele-
graph. telephone, messenger. signal OF elcc-
trio lighting wires, or changing the ioca-
tlon of any pole or overhead electric wiie
without permit (as aforesaid) shall. On
conviction thereof IN the Police Court #

lne OF not less than $40 nor more than S.
for each and every offense."
The suggestion of Mr.. Allen has been a3-
proved by the Commissioners and the pro-
posed amendment will shortly be made.
