THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Gaulois Says There win be Serious DIN
culties When IL Comes Up.


cuit,es When It Games Up.
Paris, France, Oct. S.-The United
States peace commissioners began their
usual three hours session at 10 O'Clock
this morning.
They IRE understood to have taken
into, consideration direct suggestions
Spaniards. 1T may be regarded as
quite likely that the Spaniards have
already,outlined their apparent expecta.
tions, and that they are beyond the
line Of possible acquiescence by the
Americans. The latter are acting along
well considered lines, with definite
end in view. They have. to some de-
gree, disclosed tho American expecta-
ton and determination. The Span
iards, however, seem unable or unwill-
ing to understand or believe the Ameri-
cans may or have, at the outset, set
forth their requirements, and that
they are destined to remain virtually
unchanged by finesse or counter
diplomacy. Therefore, 1t is not un-
likely that the Americans, following
the course of fair, thorough considera-
ton OF all the original or counter
propositions, will, to the limit Of fruit
full possibility, accord patient consid-
Grafton to everything projected by the
Spaniards. Thus, it is'fair to conclude
that !, the Americans daily sessions,
during tho recess intervals, will be
fully engrossed. While the Philip
pines have not yet been reached in the
deliberations, this question is doubt
less not far distant, and at that point
is likely to come the full stress of the
dinlomntic cpntrpversy
Referring to the Philippine phase OF
the negotiations, the Gauiois, today
says: "The question was somewhat
touched upon, though not discussed
yet; but there was enough to indicate
serious difficulties when 1t does come

Piiiins's Drain.
Upon the application of John Pilling,
represented by Benjamin Nields, Cham
cellor Nicholson Thursday granted
rule, returnable on Tuesday, Ootor
Der 18th, at Dover, to show cause why

The petition Of Mr.. Pilling recites
that for 81 years he has resided on a
property on Main street, Newark, adj
Joining lands Of William Dean, r. j.
and M. Z. Robinson and the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Co., and that for 20
years an ancient water coarse or drain,
leading from his house, has run upon
the railroad company's lot. He alleges
that the respondent has threatened to
cut off the drain at or near the division
line. Such deed he maintains would
work him irreparable injury and he
thereupon prays for an injunction.
The Chancellor restraints the company
until his further order.
The Chancellor heard argument to-
day in the case of Minnie Harris VS..
Albert Buehler and Justice of the
Peace Kelley. Peter L. Cooper, Jr. f,
represented the complainant and
William t. Lyman the respondents.
