to consider the agreement for q new
association prepared by COMMITTEES.
General Passenger Agent Buchanan
was chosen chairman of the meeting.
The general passenger agents arc In
dignant at report from Chicago that
the association would have to be aban-
donsd on account Of its impracticabil
ity. Buchanan said: "As far as I
know the statement from Chicago is
utterly without foundation. 1 presume
it originated with some folks in Chi
cago, who oppose trans-MIssouri as
seciation and want to see it fail. 1
think the results of this meeting will
be sufficient contradiction"

Major Marchand, who received me at

most critical, but cannot approve

PAYING CASH FOR PEACE.
The Paris Commission Costing
Uncle Sam a Pile of
Money.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 27.-The peace
commissioners and their secretaries and
attaches, who are in Paris to negotiate
the treaty Of peace with Spain, will not
lack for pocket money. They are to lack
nothing to adequately maintain their
official position. and even the messen-
gers are to be given liberal allowances
for their personal expenses. Despite
the fact that to some extent at least the
peace commissioners will be the guests
Of the French government, it is ex-
pected that it will cost tho United
States government a quarter Of a mil
lion Of dollars to negotiate the treaty
Of peace with Spain, and it is said that
the expenses of the commissioners and
their staff will amount to something
over $1,000 day during their stay in
Paris.
From reliable source Of informa-
ton it is learned that daily allowance
has been made to the various members
Of the commission, as follows:
To each OF the commissioners, s150 q
day; to Secretary Moore, $65; to Assis-
tant Secretary Macarthur, $50; to Dis
bursting Officer Branningham and Chief
Translator Rodriguez, $25; to each Of
tie nine interpreters, attaches. steneg-
raphers, etc, S10 and to the two mes
sengers. s. per day, making total Of
$t025 per day, or tor the ninety days
they are expected to be away, a grand
total of s92, ,250. This is for the personal
expenses alone Of the various members,
and does not include any salaries.
The only men attached to the COM
mission who will receive salaries for
their services are Judge Day, the presi-
dent of the commission, Whitelaw Reid
and Mr.. Moore, who resigned his place
as assistant secretary of state to accom-.
pany the commission as its secretary
end counsellor.
1t is expected that Comissiopers Day
and Reid will be given a fee of $25. 900
each for their work on the commission,
and that Secretary Moorss upon whom
much of the work of preparing the
documents in the American case has
devolved. will receive fee of $4,000.
Mr.. Corbin, son of Adjutant General
Corbin, who accompanies the commits
sion as an attache, will probably get
81 800 as recompense for his services.
The'American government Is paying
the expense of the ladies who are men,
bers of the party, and it is calculated
that the item Of transportation alone
for the thirty-five persons in the party
by sea and rail was at least S25,000,

Cotton Crop Short.

PINE Bluff, Ark, Oct. 27.-The
city's scales show agreat falling eff in
receipts of cotton against last year. Up
to last night the loss in bales amounts
to 1878. The first great cause is the
frequent and heavy rains and secondly
the want Of Gotten pickers. There
seems to be no doubt but that the
shortage of cotton in this city alone
will not be less than 1900 bales as
compared with 1897.

Extremely Strained.

PARIS, Oct. 27.-After voting at yes
terdays session the peace commission
ers did not arrive at any solution re-
garding the Cuban debt. The Gaulois
says today: "The situation is extremely
strained owing to the increasingly ag-
gressiye attitude Of the Americans. 1t
is even feared that if the Spaniards
should not decide to give way on all
points the negotiations will be broken
off at the next meeting"
SPAIN QUITS.
LATER-The Spanish peace commits
sioners have accepted the refusal of the
United States commissioners towards
the proposed assumption by the United
States Of the Cuban debt.
AFIRM STAND.
PARIS, Oc'. 27.-Tas American COM
missioners firmly but courteously de-
clined to assume for the United States
sither the entire or joint responsibility
for the Spanish financial conditions.
The final conviction of their inability
20 win their point brought the Span
iards such shock that there were
grave doubts as to continuance of the
negotiations.
Ssncr Montero Rios, after Mondays
session, would have resigned the presi-
dency of the Spanish peace commission
had he not believed his doing SO might
have grievously- shaken, if it had not
unseated, Sagasta's government.
At yesterdays session, the Spaniards
announced that they would forego
further argument on the Cuban debt,
and agreed that practically in terms,
and absolutely in spirit, the protocol
article about Cuba should 60 forward
into the final treaty.
THUS SPAIN AGREES
to relinquish sovereignty over any
claim to Cuba without either terms or
conditions.
All differences, if any existed
regarding Puerto Rico and the Sc
lection of the island of Guam were also
arranged by mutual understanding and
the commissioners found themselves
well nigh touching the Philippine ques-
tion which will be taken up next week.
THE USUAL 81 DID IT."
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.--The intima-
tion conveyed by the American com
mlssieners to the Spanish commission
ers at Mondays session of the peace
conference at Paris that the position
of the United States with respect to
Cuba and the Cuban debt could not be
regarded as subject to change, and con-
ssquently the American commissioners
were ready to proceed with the consider
alton of other questions under the pro-
tecol, the Paris sdvices today show, had
q decided effect. One concession as to
Cuba that our commissioners will make
will be to guarantee for the United
States that life and property shall be
secure in Cuba, until such time as sta
blc government shall be formed
1t is unlikely that the same rule will
be applied to the Philippine debt as
was insisted upon relative to the Cuban
debt. In other werds, if the United
States snnexes the Philippines, which
seems now to be the logical Outcome OF
the situation it might be reasonable to
contend that at least SO much of the
debt as represents moneys expended for
improvement of the island should pass
to the United States with the title.

FOREIGN NEWS NOTES.

MADRID, May Sat a Cabinet
council today over which the Queen
Regent presided the Premier, Senior
Sagasta, explained the war situation
and reported the arrival at Porto Rico
of the steamer Alfonso XIII, having
on board, it is said, reinforcements of
troops and very valuable cargo in
GLIDING ammunition and supplies. The
Premier also announced the opening of
the Cuban Parliament and the Queen
Regent signed the resources bill. The
Cabinet afterwards held another meet
ing and deliberated upon the financial
situation and measures taken and con-
templated to preserve public order in
the localities where disturbances have
occurred.

Suggests a Barbecue.

Senator John Wright was soldier
boy himself for the United States when
they had big row over there some
thing more than 80 years ago. The
Senator saw much active service, had
uncomfortable railway travelling and
trying marches. Speaking on Satur-
day Of the proposal to entertain here
American troops en- route to Manila,
advanced first in the Advertiser, Sena-
tor Wright says: My idea would be
TO give them a good feed OF plain
grub when they get here. They will
have been a week on rations and will
want a change and something substan-
tial. Fruit might make them sick and
pie and cake would do them no good.
I speak from experience and say give
them plenty of coffee and good fresh
meat and bread"

City of Picking and Australia were re-

This was later from San Francisco

the City of Picking and the Australia
were in the command of United States
naval officers and were at the Union
Iron Works dock. They were being
loaded with all sorts of material for
the repair of warships and with am
munition that had been in storage for
the Asiatic feet. Both steamers were
10 put to sea so soon as possible and
1t was expected that they would sail
from San Francisco not later than the
9Th inst. The S. S. CHINA was to follow
on the 18th with troops.

sent he has the most important and
probably the best paying assignment
of his whole life. Upon Captain Hasson
devolves very largely the defense of
San Francisco against possible inva-
sion or attack from the sea. Captain
Hasson is again in the service of the
United States Government. He has
sole charge of the placing OF torpedoes
and mines in and about the bay of San
Francisco. This is work of the first
magnitude. 1t is a contract of great
responsibility and not without danger.
There are to be placed 500 torpedoes
alone.
