CABINET DISCUSSED ELECTIONS.
Feeling That Administration Has Been
Heartily Endorsed.

Washington, November 9.-The cleo
lions occupied the attention of the-cabi-
net at a special session held todsv. The
session was called to take the place of the
regular Tuesday meeting. The meeting
was in the nature of an exchange of con-
gratulations on the general results and
the dispatches of the Associated Press
sent over the special White House wire,
were quickly communicated Ito the cabi-
net room and discussed by the members.
The feeling expressed was that the cleo
ton results showed hearty endorsement
of the administration and that in the
main the Republican losses in some OF the
cities were attributable to the develop
ment of local feeling following the tidal
wave of 1896 in districts which then
elected Republicans on very large majori-
ties. There was great qualification at the
outlook for the Senate makeup, the opln.
ion as expressed being that there would
be Republican majority OF doubtless
eight and possibly more in that body.
AS to the House. there was some appre-
hension through the belief was expressed,
based on the advices at hand, that there
might be Republican majority OF per-
haps not over three. The Democratic
gains in the South created no surprise as
the race issue had prepared the admins
tration for the result. 1t was commended
Mt the meeting, however, that In gen.
eral way the districts throughout the
country normally Republican, had re-
Iuained so and it was asserted throughout
that the vote failed to show any sign OF
oensure of the administration in its con-
duct of the war.
The situation in Cuba was discussed
and as a result it is believed that the
Spaniards will be informed that the
evacuation OF the island is not proceeding
with the dispatch that thes United States
have right to expect. 1t is represented
on good authority that the Spaniards are
making the very most of their opportuni-
ties In the matter of customs and that the
common people are made to suffer in con-
sequence. Nothing was at hand from the
Paris commissioners.

! SUPERIOR COURT.
Before Judge Bonney.

Wednesday-Is Frye & Co., appts.,
vs. Hiram Wolfe.
= The controversy in this case is overtime
title to a Tiger bicycle, valued at about
$40. In the fall of 1897, Gilbert Atus, a
young man of this city, msde trade
with Mr.. Patten of the plaintlf firm, for
the bicycle, and 1t is the nature of this
trade that is in dispute. Mr.. Atus says
that the plaintiffslmads conditional sale
of the bicycle to him, the bicycle to be-
come his property when he had paid to
plaintiffs the sum Of $40. But plaintiffs
say that they made no conditional sale;
that they simply let tbs bicycle to him,
the bicycle to become his when he had
paid them $40 in rent. The defendant
says that plaintiffs make this claim
simply to evade the provisions of the
statute of frauds, which holds that no
agreement that ohattel shall remain
the property of the seller until paid for
shall be valid, unless reduced to writing,
signed by the party to be bound, and
recorded at the city clerks Office. Mr..
Wolfe, the nominal defendant, Is con-
stable, and attached the bicycle in GER
tain suit as the property of Mr.. Atus.
The plaintiffs afterwards replevined it
from Mr.. Wolfe. The bicycle was in the
of Atus from July, 1893, to
and the defendant claims
that this controverts plaintiffs position
that Atus simply rented the bicycle. The
defendant introduced NO testimony. but
introduced bill made out by plaintiffs
which stated that the bicycle was sold to
Atus, to remain plaintiffs property until
paid for.

AMERICAS REPLY.
Discussion Of Philippines BY Peace
Commission | Justified.
NO EXTERIOR AGREEMENT AS TO
SPANS SOVEREIGNTY.

The Seizure of Customs Collections ana
Public Moneys Jastifi ed on the Ground
That Occupation of Manila Was MIL
itary Occupation.
Paris, November Q. -Today's peace com
mission met at 2 Is and adjourned at p.
m When the meeting opened the Ameri'
cans presented to their Spanish colleagues
the answer of the United States to the
claims submitted on Friday last in behalf
of Spain. The document in which the
American answer was set forth consisted
of nearly fifty sheets of typewritten mat
ter The American presentation of today
was refutation of the Spanish allegation
that because the words possession,
Ownership or "cession" do not OCCUR
in the protocol clause touching upon the
Philippine islands, the peace commission
ers have no right to discuss them here
and that even ii they did so it must be in
the light Of the alleged fact of an exterior
agreement that Spain sovereignty should
not be impaired.
The Americans today also answered
Spain's claim for the restitution to her OF
p ublic money and customs collections
taken by the United States officials since
the capitulation of Manila and they also
made reply to SPANS claim for an in
demnity on account of the alleged impris-
onment by the United States authorities
of Spanish troops at Manila and for their
consequent restraint from being OF SER
vice to Spain in the suppression OF the In
surgents and the preservation, OF property.
To these points, the Americans had pre-
pared an exhaustive reply yesterday,
which, though not fully typewritten at
the time fixed for the meeting of Tuesday
would have been submitted to the Span
iards at 4 D. m. yesterday had it not been
that the commissioners of Spain refused
to meet at that hour, pleading other en-
gagements as an excuse for their refusal.
The Americans are surprised that the
Spaniards made unalterable engagements
for four O'Clock, in view of the fact that
the meeting, had it occurred, might have
extended, as has frequently happened,
until past four O'Clock.
The American commissioners held that
there was justification, under terms OF
the protocol for the discussion of the
future of the Philippine island, and they
also claimed the occupation of Manila to
be military occupation. which justified
the United States in collecting the reve-
nues, administering the government and
exercising all the functions of possession.

HIS Alfusion to America Means Much or
Nothing.
London, November 10.-In commenting
on Lord Salisbury's speech at Guildhall
banquet, the Standard says:
ssThere is deliberate yagueness in
Lord Salisbury's languages tendency
to hint rather than indicate unpalatable
truths-which is not re-assuring. I"
The Daily News also disagrees with his
remarks about America and says:
Nothing that fails to conduce to peace
can oonduce to Great Brita1n'S interest.
Probably, however, Lord Salisbury only
meant that Great Britain and the United
States are not likely to be found on
opposite sides and there we cordially
agree with him."
The Daily News then proceeds to ask
whether the Philippines are to be the
and says: 1.-THE omens are certainly not
favorable. The peace conference is a
dead Jock. Emperor William is fastening
back. not to Berlin, but to Spain. II
