They ex- pected to meet with some adventure out of the ordinary, and they did, if row with a guide and a subsequent trip to the police station may be considered as things not to be expected in the ordinary round of conventional existence. The party pro- ceeded up Sacramento street and were trying to understand the difference be- tween a joss and josh, when they were approached by a smooth-looking Celes- tial, who emerged from out of the smoke of burning punks and firecrackers, and after acquainting them with the fact that he was about the finest thing in guides that the city possessed offered to show them the sights under his experienced chaperonage for the modest sum of s1. The tourists jumped at so good a bargain and the whole outfit started along together. They had a fine time up to the hour of settlement, and then the trouble com menced. The only pieces of money In the pockets of the escorts were a bogus dol lar and good half. They tried to pass the counterfeit on the innocent-looking g guide, but he demanded a good coin and refused to take anything less than the stipulated price for his services. The men of the party not having the price were unable to comply with the demand. so notwithstanding beauty's tears and valor's threats the hard-hearted Mongo- Han had the whole party marched off to the station.

respect to the conditions attending and
resulting from the peace negotiations.
With respect to the frequently repeated
statement in press dispatches that the
sentiment OF the powers. with the ex-
ception Of England. was opposed to the
United states and look with disfavor
upon the attitude of this government
in dealing with Spain. Senator Frye
said:
Il saw no evidence of such senti-
ment existing outside of France and
in France that sentiment appeared To
be confined tn the press, which does
not reflect the sentiment of the nation
nor the people generally"
DO you think there will be any res
toration of cordial relations between
Spain and the United States?''
II think that very soon after the rat
ihcation of the peace treaty and the
restoration OF diplomatic relations there
Will be no difficulty about negotiating
commercial treaties and a treaty for
the release of the prisoners and such
other matters directed toward the per-
tween the two governments. I do not
believe that the Spanish government
will be at all dispoeed to keep up un-
friendly feeling between the two gov
crnments. The making of new treaties
adapted to the present conditions would
he better than the restoration OF the
old treaties. some features OF watch
were obsolete"
What has been published with re-
spect to the treaty Of peace seems to
indicate. does II not. that this govern
ment is not committed by these nego-
tiations with respect to the future DIS
position of the territory the Spanish
sovereignty over which has been relin-
quished?'
1T N very strange that this govern
ment is not committed in any way
whatever with respect TO the disposl-
tion and government OF these Islands.
II we are insane enough to do so. we
might give them all back to Spain af,er
the ratification OF the treaty. II we
were fools we might divide them up
among the other foreign powers The
whole matter is left in the hands q
congress. Congress can make any dig
position of the islands II sees fit The
ratification OF the treaty will not in
any way curtail any privileges of ours
I'm this direction"
