THE PEACE TREATY.
Essential Features Are Disposed OF
lending Articles Practically
Agreed Upon.

Paris, Dec. THE peace Of Paris Is
practically an accomplished fact. Tues
days session disposed of the essential
features Of the treaty, which will be en-
bodied I'm the following eight articles;
First-The customary preface OF treaties.
In the nature OF an expression OF amity and
OF hope for perpetual peace.
Sccond-The REIMBURSEMENT by Spain OF
her sovereignty over Cuba.
Third-The withdrawal OF the Spanish

Fourth-Tho REIMBURSEMENT by Spain OF

Fifth-Spain's cession OF the Philippines.
Sixth-The withdrawal OF the Spanish
troops there.
Seventh Payment by the United states
OF 500. 900 900 for the Philippines.
Eighth-The provision for the open
door" commercial policy In the Philippines.
The rough draft OF the treaty, which
may be considerably changed, covers
the proposals. Ii makes long docu-
meut. which Senator Cushman Il. Davis,
Of the United States peace commission,
says Will be found to be one of the most
interesting papers of its character ever
written. So completely are the details
OF the evacuation OF the Philippines

aries exceed $1,000 per annum.
Hawaiian Currency.
OF the other two bills, one relates to
Hawaiian silver and treasury notes and
the other to postal savings banks in
Hawaii. The first provides that unmu-
ulated Hawaiian silver coins shall be
received at par value in payment OF all
dues 10 the government of the terri
tory OF Hawaii and of the United States
and shall not again be ISSUED. but shall
on presentation in sums OF $500 10 either
government be purchased and recoined
as bullion at the United States mint at
San Francisco. All Hawaiian silver GER
tiiicates are TO be redeemed by the ter
rtory OF Hawaii on or before January
l. 1902.
The other is a bill which repeals the
Hawaiian laws establishing postal saw
ings banks and directs the secretary OF
the treasury 10 pay the amounts On de-
pcsit in the postal savings banks in
Hawaii 10 the persons entitled thereto,
terminating the interest on all deposits
on the 1st Of July, 1890, and forbidding
further deposits after that date.
The report contains an inventory OF
the public property Of the republic
which now inures TO the United States,
which is OF an estimated value of SlO,-
4lS,740, distributed as follows: Govern
ment Of public lands, $t147,7O0; gov
eminent lots, sites. etc. Si,4sl 500; de-
partment property, S47s9,240
The report gives considerable data in
regard 10 duties collected, showing that
under the Dingley bill the amount
would have been much greater than IL
was. This comparison shows that the
collection for 1897 which was $54s, 4s3,
would have been under the American
law S002.706. The report recommends
the construction OF a cable 10 the is
lands 10 be under the control of the
United States, which. IL says, is de-
manded by the military condition ex-
listing or liable 70 exist at any time.

Milwaukee, Dec. TT is reporteS
from Waupaca that the village of Wey.
auwega, in Waupaca county, was al.
most entirely destroyed by fire Tuesday
evening. The village had population
of about 1900. All the stores in the

impossible to get further details. Rigs
OF all kinds have been sent from Wau

cared for in That city as fast as they
can be carried ten miles across country.
Weyauwega is on the Wisconsin Cen

SILVER THE BASIS.
Commissioner Harden Reports ON IN g
Currency of the Philippine
Islands.

Washington, Dec. An interesting
official report on financial and indus
trial conditions in the Philippines, pre-
pared iy Edward w. Harden, appointed
last August as a special commissioners
for that purpose, has been made pub
lie by Secretary Gage. IL shows,
among other things that silver Is the
basis OF The island currency. that the
per capita circulation for the entire
population Of the islands is about five
dollars on silver basis, or half that
on gold basis, that the Mexican dollar
is the c,in chiefly in use, that Spanish
oppression extended 10 finance TO such
a measure that SG.000,o GOO OF IA 40,000,oo0
bond issue in July, 1897 was floatcd as
a forced loan from those having claims
against thc government, that practical
ly all the trade is i'm the hands of for
cigners, that exports in 1897 exceed
imports by $4,000 300 in total yalua-
ton. that The four principal industries
are hemp, sugar, copra and tobacco,
and that the establishment Of cord
age-making plant would probably be a
paying investment.
