II Was In No Way a Surprise 10 the Amed-
can Commissioners at Paris.
WERE PREPARED FOR IT IN ADVANCE
Had Instructions From the President and Secretary
For a Complete y---Cambons Part in
the Arrangement Of Tho Protocol.

Washington. Nov. 1s.-The administra.
look for successful termination of the
lhbors Of the peace commissioners at
Paris. Whether this renewal of con-
fidence is based upon an abstract of the
Spanish reply, which was submitted at
Wednesdays meeting, or is founded
upon private advices. indicating a weak
enlng of the Spanish position, is not
known, but IL is probable that both OF
these have had an influence I'm bright
ening the prospects. The Spanish re-
ply was not surprise TO the American
commissioners, who. in fact, had pre-
pared themselves in advance with in
structlons received directly from the
president and Secretary Hay for a COM
plete answer still IL was probably re.
garded as better policy, and more in
accord with the amenities OF official ex-
change that the Americans should d.
the Spanish commissioners the courtesy
of giving deliberate consideration 10
their carefully prepared written argu-
ment.
The attempt of the Spanish COM
missioners to induce the Americans to
accept their construction of the meaning
OF the protocol where IL touches on the
Philippines has been a fat failure. The
president himself was a party to the
preparation of the protocol. 1t was he
who, suspecting a purpose on the Span
ish side to becloud the issue and leave
open a door for future escape from the
consequences of the war. had swept
aside as so much chaff the message OF
the Spanish duke. Almodvar del Rio,
and. reducing the demands u the United
States to what is called a precisis, had
declared that the Spanish government
might accept that as an exact statement
of the demands OF the United States.
Having made the document, the presi-
dent believes himself TO be the person
TO be the best competent to construe its
meaning, and the American commits
sioners are consequently acting in con-
formity with his view.
Inasmuch as the Spanish are making
most strenuous efforts TO assert their
sovereignty over the Philippines, all
based upon the use of the word "dispo-
sition' instead Of possession" in that
part of the protocol relating TO the fu-
ture OF the Philippines, it may be sta.ed
that the American commissioners have
been obliged to call attention to the fact
that Nj. Cambon who acted for the
Spanish government in arranging the
protocol, declared positively that the
change, which was made at his in
stance, amounted to nothing; that ii was
Of no significance In English or as affect
ing tho object aimed at, but was made
merely because 1t sounded better in
Spanish, and would not be so humiliat
ing to the Spaniards. Consequently the
American commissioners could not for
an instant think of allowing the sim
cerity of the French ambassador 10 be
drawn into question.

MORE FIGHTING AT PAsA.

Pana, Ills, Nov. 1S.-Non- union coll
ored miners and white strikers clashed
in the streets of this city again yes
terday. Several hundred shots were
fired. but the combatants did their shoot
ing from behind trees and hedges, con-
sequently no blood was spilled. The
trouble is said TO have been started by an
unknown negro firing upon Wesley Pope.
a striker Pope says he was walking
near the Springside colliery, where the
negroes are quartered. when he was
fred upon. He secured rife and re-
Inducements. Meantime the negroes
appeared in force. and the shooting be-
came general. After several hundred
shots had been exchanged the negroes
retreated TO their stockade. No dam
age was done. The militia arrived too
late TO get into action.

HISS, PRICE IN THE LAKE.

Miss Stella Price OF Evanston, II
years old, was blown into Lake Michi-
gan one afternoon off the Main
street breakwater, from the extreme
end of which she had been looking at
the large waves as they rolled in. and
after desperate struggle, during which
she declined assistance, effected her
own salvation, being an adept in the
art of swimming.
Although she found herself In fifteen
feet of water. this fact did not seem ia
disconcert her in the least, and she
gazed at the slippery sides oi the break
water as complacently as II she were
only taking an ordinary summer e'eiff
when the Thermometers registered ~
degrees above zero. That she possessed
a cool head while in this predicament
was due wholly TO the fact that sna
had confidence in her swimming apll-
tiles.
The same wind that DESTROYED ner
equilibrium on the breakwater had
made the waves of the lake large and
angry as they dashed against the
wooden structure with the fierceness
that a thirty-m -mile-an- hour gale inn
parts For q moment the air caugnt
beneath her skirt floated her ana kept
her well above the surface. but the gar
ment soon became waterlogged, ana the
waves broke over her head and carried
away her cap and dishevelled her long
hair.
The young woman for a moment dl-
rected her efforts to attempting 10 scal0
the smooth sides of the breakwater.
but she soon found this an impossible
thing 10 do and at the Same time awak-
ened TO the fact that the cold water
was rapidly benumbing her limbs ana
taking from them their activity.
Accordingly. she turned about ana
with long, even strokes, began TO swim
toward a point of land which projected
into the lake $50 feet north OF the end
of the breakwater. :,
Cant. Mersch of the Evanston police
detail was driving in buggy AT tho
foot of Main street and saw the girl an
she fell into the water. He ran rapidly
TO the end of the pier, but when he had
reached the point where she disappear

The big officer was rapidly divesting
himself of his outer clothing prepara-
tory to diving for the young woman,
whom he supposed to- be at the bot"
tom Of the lake, when he caught a
glimpse of her head 200 feet TO the lett'
She was struggling bravely but IL was
gone. The bluecoat ran back along tho
pier and out on the point Of land. He
started to wade toward the girl, but
was surprised to hear her say;
please do not come after me. can

These words had hardly left her ffp1
when her feet came in contact with tho
sandy bottom and she stood uprignh
and walked the remaining distance un-
assisted.
Capt. Mersch took her to her home
i'm his buggy and DR.. Moore was called,
He found that beyond severe drench-
ing she bore no evidences Of her long

she was as bright and merry as ever.
