PEACE COMMISSIONERS STILL DIS
CUsSING CUBA.
American Members Have Not Changed
Their Original Position-set-
tied Next Week.

Paris. Oct. 21-The United States and
Spanish peace commissions held separate
sessions this morning and when the Joint
session opened this afternoon Il was be-
lieved that the Cuban question would not
be decided to-day. but would be taken up
again.
The joint session to-day lasted from 2
p. m. to 4:30 p. m. During this time the
commissioners discussed the second Sc
ries OF written arguments put forward by
the Spaniards for the purpose of prevail
Ing upon the American commissioners to
assume the Cuban debt. No definite con-
clusion was reached and the commission
ers adjourned until Monday. when the
Cuban question will agaia be discussed 1t
is probable that this feature of the nego-
tiations will be disposed of next week.
Thus far there have been seven Joint
sessions. four of which have been devoted
to the discussion of the first article of
the protocol. In this manner two weeks
have passed and no result has been reach
ed. The American commissioners have
listened to all the arguments of the Span
iards, but they have not changed the Do
sition which they first took.

crowds awaited his coming to speak a few
words to his constituents and receive their
approving cheers.
Perhaps the most imposing demonstra-
tion of the day was at Indianapolis
where the streets through which the pres
ident was driven to the state house were
tammed with cheering people. Here, on
the steps or the state capitol. the president
delivered one OF the most striking and elo-
quent addresses on his long Western
tur.

Crushed 10 Death.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Philipsburg. Oct. H.-The crushed and
mangled body of Ellis Booth was brought
to town for burial last night. Booth. who
has been working for Mrs. A. II. Porter
on her Rock creek ranch for about a
year. day before yesterday started across
the range TO Anaconda with a lead and
trail wagon heavily loaded with baled
hay. He was to make Strom's ranch. on
the Georgetown nats. by night. but never
reached there. Next morning his team
was noticed standing I'm one place for so
long a time that IL aroused the fear that
something was wrong. Upon investigation
IL was found that the trail wagon was
loosened from the lead and Booths head
was wedged in between the lead wagon
and a tree. The tree had TO be chopped
down 20 get him out. The supposition is
that the trail wagon got stuck in the soft
road and Booth had gone back TO loosen
II. and in going by the lead wagon the
horses probably started up and crushed
him between the wagon and the tree An
inquest on the body was held this after
noon by a jury impaneled by Justice Con-
molly. which returned a verdict OF acct
dental death.

A few days before the tragedy he en-

The crime was the outgrowth of an
intimacy that had existed for 13 years

made full confession. He then
changed his mind and fought hard in
the courts to set aside the confession.
He was convicted and appealed to the
supreme court. The decision OF the

A INDUSTRIOUS DOCTRINE.
spsins Crafty Plan To Saddle the Cuban

Spsin's Crafty Plan To Saddle the Cuban
Debt on the United States.
London. Oct. 2L-The Speaker, in a
long article on the peace commission,
says: THE reluctance of America to
annex Cuba is mainly due to a desire
II escape the burden of the Cuban debt
AT the same time the doctrine Of inter-
national law by which a debt incurred
by ruler binds his successors, rests
upon slight foundation.
1t Is monstrous that a tyrant should
be able to burden future generations
simply because he is in possession of
the material government. III investors
felt that in international law loans in
CURED against the will of the people
would not attach to the country in the
event of change of government, there
would be less of that monetary sup
port of misgovernment which has dis
graced the high finances of the nine
teenth century.
For so years Spain has ruled Cuba
in defiance of the will of the Cuban
people and in spite of the constant pro-
test of the United States. The cost of
her military operations there had been
met by loans specially chargeable to
Cuba. In the first place, in order to
punish the Cubans. and in the second,
In order to arrange for a cheap retreat
in the event of being driven out of
America. In word. the debt has been
charged upon Cuba largely with the
object of saddling 1t upon the United
States. The bondholders were encour-
aged to look to the supposed doctrine
of international law as part of the Sc
curity, while they were lending to
Spain against the will of both Cubans
and Americans. 1t is to be hoped that
the United States. while assuming SOW
ereignty over Cuba. will refuse to pay
any part of the debt except the money
used in the development of the island.
