ALTERNATIVE FOR SPAIN.

Paris. Nov. el.-The American peace
commissioners, in a written communal
cation To the spanish commissioners,
declare that the third article Of the
protocol regarding the Philippines IL
capable Of only one fair construction.
that no arbitration is needed 10 eiuci-
date its terms and that the United
states cannot admit any other power
- figure here purely as a lexicoiogist.
They maintain that the two commits
sions are charged TO determine whether
Spain or the United States shall in fu-
ture own the Philippines.
This communication is accompanied
by clear declaration that the United
States will possess the Philippines.
Following this declaration the Ameri-
can commissioners lay before the Span
iards two alternatives:
First-To accept a sum Of money from
the United tSates and 10 cede and evac-
uate the Philippines.
Second-To lose the Philippines TO the
United States by conquest, with the
possibility OF other territorial losses to
indemnify the United States for the
added expense OF conquest.
This communication may not be for
mally designated as an ultimatum but
II lacks naught of the exclusiveness in
dicated by that word. Its terms are
so plain that the Spanish commission
ers will scarcely haggle for more money
on the first altern. We noi cherish any
doubt of American action under the
second should the first be declined.
No one here, except the American
commissioners, knows how much will
be rendered Spain as the cheapest and

escape the Philippine debt. and posi-
bly, the sum to be offered may be deter
mined by an analysts OF that debt.
which consists Of SIC, 900. 600 in bonds. on
which she realized $36 600. 900. OF the
latter amount she is believed to have
expended $4,000, 900 or $l1 100000 in
fighting the United States and a part in
attempting to quell the Philippine in
surrection.
A reasonable guess at the sum for
tender would be $2O, ,OOO, 900. though 1t
may fall below that.
A dispatch from Vienna says: Fol
lowing the advice of Austria and Ger
many, Spain will accept Americas offer
of compensa ton for the Philippines"
Ano her dispatch from Madrid says:
"In political circles it is asserted that
an agreement has been reached be-
tween the peace commissioners in
Paris.
1.-The government. 1t is semiofficially
announced, intends to notify the Cuban
bondholders that Spain will not pay the
Cuban debt which will not be mention
ed in the peace treaty. The government
considers itself completely freed from
| these engagements, which fall upon the
| nation exercising sovereignty and col
lecting taxes in Cuba"

Big Fire at Dawson City.

Advices from Skaguay. Alaska. via

Klondikers arriving in that city bring
the news that the city of Dawson has
been visited with $500. 900 fire, in which
40 buildings were burned, including the
new postoffice building and some Of the
best buildings in the city. The fire took
place on the morning Of Oct. 16. 1t start
ed in the Green Tree saloon as the re-
suit of row between two women. Belle
Mitchell threw a lighted lamp at anoth-
er woman. The lamp broke, the oil
spread, and in few seconds the build
ing was on fire. The flames were COM
municated to the postoffice adjoining,
and from there to other structures. AL
though nearly all the mail was saved,
it is in great confusion. All that re-
mains to show where formerly 40 build
ings stood are few blackened logs.

PRESIDENT DWIGHT.

had led to the belief that he would
not abandon his high office until the
festival had been celebrated.
Immediately upon the presentation OF
the resignation the corporation passed
the following minute:
The announcement by the president
OF his resignation of his office, to take
effect at the end of this university
year, has come to the corporation as a
great surprise, and they would most
profoundly regret it if they believed it
was necessary to accept this action 5
final and conclusive.
while testifying their affectionate
admiration for him personally and their
qualification with his administration
the corporation most earnestly requests
and urges him to fix the date of his re-
tirement at the time of the bicenten-
nial celebration in 1901; therefore,
Resolved, That the corporation ear
nestly requests the president to de-
lay the date Of his retirement until
October 1901"
President Dwight subsequently ex-
pressed his feeling that he must abide
by the decision announced in his let
ter of resignation, and the letter was
then referred to special committee
to report at meeting Of the corpora
ton to be held on Dec. 13.
Timothy Dwight, the twelfth presi-
dent of Yale university. is the grandson
of Timothy Dwight, who was president
of Yale from 1895 to 1917. The present
Dwight was born in 1928. Graduating
from Yale in 1S49 he served two years
as tutor in the college. AT the same
time he studied in the Yale theological
seminary and concluded this work in
1855. In this year he went abroad and
studied two years at the universities of
Bonn and Berlin and upon returning to
America was ordained a minister. In
1858 he was elected professor Of sacred
litera ture in the Yale seminary, filling
that chair until he became president of
the university in 1886, the successor OF
Noah Porter.
1t was Immediately after President
Dwight assumed his high executive po-
sitiOn that the college took great strides
in it's scope and popularity and develop
ed from a college into a university, and
his administration throughout has been

Once "a Circus Performer.

Keely used to be a cannon ball tosser
in a circus. He was born in Philadel-
phia in 1887. of German and French
blood on the maternal side and English
and Swedish on the paternal. He in
herited a musical taste from his mother
and in the cultivation of that taste he
developed what, in later years, astound-
ed the scientific world.
1t was his assertion for upward OF 81
years that the vibratory force OF the
atmosphere, properly controlled. could
be harnessed so as to control mechan-
ical devices with power a millionfold
greater than steam.
He proposed with the stroke Of a fid-
die bow to produce force enough 10 run
a train of cars 1000 miles: To drive a
projectile as soft as tallow through a
plate of armor; to run an engine with
such speed that its velocity would cause
it's parts to fly asunder: to cause the
rock and earth surrounding precious
metals to separate and fail and leave
the metal naked and free. and all this
he asserted to be able to do by control

envelope of air.
BY trade or profession he was a,
turns cabinet maker. a musician and
a machinist. He built a shop alongside
OF his modest little home in the north
ern part of Philadelphia and there gave
exhibitions of the discovery which he
asserted, and which his friends believ-
ed, would revolutioniZe the laws OF
mechanics as diametrically as Galile,
upset the century crowned acceptanc.
of the theory of the solar system.
He was backed by a coterie OF friend.
and believers who had absolute faith ir
him, and chief among them was Mrs
Bloomfield Moore, the widow OF &
wealthy Philadelphia merchant. who
for nearly a quarter of century. be
lieved so thoroughly in his genius tina
she advanced thousands and thousand
OF dollars to enable him to continue hi
experiments.

killed himself at Sunny Slope, his ia
nous stock farm, near the town. Spec
ulation is said to have led to Cross
downfall. His fortune has doubtless
gone down with the bank. Among the
heavy losers by the failure are Lyon
county and the city of Emporia. All the
city and county funds were deposited in
the institution. Cross was custodian of
his fathers estate, which is also said to
be in a wrecked condition.

Race War Over Baptism.

Woodbury.. N. j., Nov. 21.-The Rev.
I. M. B. Thompson. pastor of the Gen.
trail Baptist church of this city and for
merly Of Jersey City, threatens to re-
sign from the church owing to differ
ences which have arisen between the
trustees and himself over a request Of
the colored Baptists for permission to
use the baptismal pool of the Central
church to immerse their converts.
When the request was presented to the
trustees. it appeared to have the in
dorsement of the Rev. Mr.. Thompson,
and the board granted the permission.
The matter would have rested there had
not some OF the members of the church
objected. Women members. 1t appears,
objected to having white persons use
the pool after negroes had used 1t. The
trustees then rescinded their previous
action. Now Mr.. Thompson says if the
second action of the trustees is not re-
called he will resign, although as yet
he has not handed in his resignation.
The church is divided on the question,
and many of the white congregation
support the minister.

mediate Revision.
Representative Dingley, chairman of
the ways and means committee, says in
an interview regarding the proposed re-
vision of the tariff:
"The government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of OctO-
Der the war expenditures exceeded the
war revenue by some $4,000 900, and this
month they will be $10,O00,000 in excess.
This being the case, there will be no
change at least this fiscal year. The
war revenue act will continue in force
and unchanged, except perhaps in few
minor administrative features, for. at
least year longer.
TT is hardly necessary to add" con-
tinued Mr.. Dingley, that there will be
no revision Of the tariff, although have
seen some statemen> to the effect that
such revision is contemplated.
"The session is limited to three
months" continued Mr.. Dingley, land
that short period will be mainly occu-
pied in passing the appropriation bills,
in enacting new laws for the regular
army and in deciding upon the legisla-
ton necessary for the government Of
Hawaii. In addition to these important
matters, the usual number of routine
matters will arise. From the present
outlook the session will be well under
way before the treaty Of peace with
Spain VIII be laid before the senate, and
the ratification of that document may
not be accomplished before the 4th of
March arrives"
