not over 30 per cent OF the number OF
inmates OF any penal institution Of

But Peace Treaty VIII Be Signed within
Two Weeks.

Paris. November 24.-The Spanish
peace commissioners at !noon today had
not fixed upon the day to submit their
final answer to the American PROPOSE
tions. But it is deemed most likely that
Saturday will be tho day appointed and
the opinion gains ground that the Span
iards will accept the proposals of the
United States. A significant indication
OF this view of the situation was remark
dropped by Senior Abruzza of the Span.
ish commission today that they expected
to remain here about a fortnight. Senior
Ojeda said this morning that instructions
from Madrid were not suffici emily ma
tured to enable them to appoint the next
meeting. The correspondent of the Asso-
dated Press asked Senior Abruzza today if
the commissions would be able to leave
Paris next week with the treaty and he
replied, with a sidelong glance, as

noted the significance of the reply: II

night, while In the act of robbing the safe
in the grocery store OF Frank NJ. Spotf ord.
Chief Bacon was attacked by Kennedy
with meat cleayer and received severe
injuries in the eyes, nose and hands, but
which will not result seriously. Kennedy e
wound is not necessarily fatal, but two
attempts ito locates tho bullet have failed
and be ia in weak condition.
Mr.. Spofford's store has been entered
and robbed four or five times during the
mast five weeks, and last night Chief
Bacon was on guard. Kennedy entered
over a doorway, carefully unlocking a
door by which to make his escape, armed
himself with meat cleaver, ransacksd
the money drawer and had just taken I'll
in silver from the safe, which had pur-
nosely been left unlocked, when Chief
Bacon ordered him to throw up his hands.
He did, but at the same time hurled the
cleayer at the officer, barely missing kill
ing him, The chief then fired at Xenne-
dy. hitting him in the right side and al
most Immediately flashed an electric
lamp upon him, recognizing him at once.
Kennedy jumped and ran, springing
over q heap of boxes and disappearing
out of the back door. Chief Bacon fired
an ineffective shot after him but being
unable to chase him, he sent Officer
Mead to follow Kennedy, who was found
in bed, arrested and taken to the police
station. If Kennady's wound does moi
prove fatal, he will be charged with break
ing and entering and assault with dan
oerous weapon. He is well-known youns
man and much surprise is expressed al
the act. as he was never suspected of any
thing Of the kind. He is q morocco dresser
