Paris, Nov. 25.-Senor NIontero Rios

peace commissioners had not yet de-
cided upon the answer to be given to
the last American memorandum.

600 .0G0 for ths Philippines, Senior Mon

COUNTER PROPOSAL.
Fresh Attempt Made to Obtain a Change
in Americas Terms.

Paris, Nov. 25.-It is now known that
Spain will exhaust her time limit,
which expires on Monday, before reply
ing to the American offer regarding the
Philippine islands. In the meanwhile
the Spaniards are canvassing the entire
field and exhausting every resource to
postpone the inevitable. Now the Span
iards apparently doubt the fXedness of
the amount the Americans offered for
the Philippines, and today they sent a
communication to the American com
missioners asking if the latter would
accept a counter proposal by Spain, to
cede the Philippines for $l00, 600, 600
Spain imagines the Americans might be
willing to Top off the great island of
Mindanao from the Philippines and pay
Spain $50 900. 900 for what would remain,
instead of the $40, 100000 now offered for
the entire archipelago.
Spain win learn, in response to such
Inquiries, that Americans employ the
word ultimatum TO signify ultimate
conditions.
Spain, before giving up or turning
away viii also propose some alterna-
tive bargain of the Carolines or the
Canary Islands, to be held in the pos
session of the United States, in addition
to the Philippine islands, on condition
that Spain be permitted to retain her
sovereignty in the Philippines. In other
words. Spain would Cede certain terri
tory in the Carolines and Canaries and
the control of the Philippines by the
limited States under a nominal Spanish
sovereignty. ana propose that the
United States should pay Spain no
money on account of the Philippine
islands

CABINET NEE TING.
President Cables, Repeating
Former Instructions.

Washington, Nov ga special
meeting of the cabinet was held at 10
O'Clock tonight.
All the members were with the pres
ident except Secretary Long, who IS
out Of the city. The meeting was
called by the president in order that
his advisers might consider with him
advices received this evening from the
American peace commissioners at
Paris,
1t is understood that the adVices re-
lated TO counter proposals intormally
made TO the American commissioners
by Spain's representatives
At the conclusion of the meeting,
which lasted only 40 inmates and was
held in the parlors of the White House,
Secretary of State Hay said to q rep
resentative of the Associated Press that
the president had received some ad-
vices from Paris that he desired to lay
before the cabinet and that he had
called the members together to consid-
or them
The nature of the advices. Mr.. Hay
declined to discuss. as he said that was
matter which could not be gone into
for publication at this time. He added,
however. that after considering the
contents of the dispatches the president
had cabled to the American commits
sioners reiterating his former instruc-
tons. it is understood that one point
new in the negotiations thus far was
raised in dispatches received by the
president 1t related to a modification
Of the terms of the proposition submit
ted to the Spanish commissioners a
few days ago by the American commits
sioners. but in just what particular the
proposed modification was to be made,
was not to be ascertained.
That the proposition was not accept
ed was made clear by the president in
cabling to the American commissioners
a reiteration of his former instructions.
The American commissioners will in
sist that the demands of the United
States. as presented to Spain a few
days ago, be considered without fur
ther modification.
That they will be acceded to by the
Spanish commissioners, is the earnest
belief of the members of the cabinet
and the president.

TROUBLES.
Cardinal Gibbons Speaks
on Recent Outbreaks.

Baltimore, Nov. 25.-Cardinal Gibbons
in discussing the recent race troubles
in the south, said to reporter of the
Baltimore Sun today:
I'm the history of mankind it has
been observed that when two distinct
races co-existed in same territory one
race has always exercised a certain su-
premacy over the other While this
principle is admitted. it is the manifest
duty of every patriotic statesman and
Christian to see that the relations be-
tween the races should be friendly.
harmonious and mutually beneficial
THE race conflicts, antagonisms and
bloodshed which have recently occurred
in several states Of the union can be
traced largely to two great cause.-the
one sided and ill-directed system of ne
gro education and the indiscriminate
exercise and consequent abuse of the
ballot box. 1.-THE colored race, CON
tinued the cardinal, 'are naturally kind
and gentle affectiOnate and grateful
with religious emotions easily aroused.
But the education they are generally
receiving is calculated to sharpen their
mental faculties at the expense of their
ambition without supplying the meann
of gratifying it. 1t feeds the head
while the heart is starved.
mo education is complete that does
not teach the science of self-restralnt.
and this is found only in the deealogue
and the gospel. But it is hard to get a
hearing on the subject of popular edu-
cation We must appeal from Peter
drunk to Peter sober
''The abuse of the ballot box is
chargeable more 10 white demagogues
than to the blacks themselves. The
politicians use the negro vote for their
own selfish purposes
II am persuaded that a restriction Of
suffrage by property qualification would
be a wise measure. 1t is an incentive
to industry. and as men are instinct
lively disposed to protect their own
property, they Will naturally vote for
those rulers and public officers who, in
their Judgment, are more qualified to
protect their property from unjust ana
exorbitant taxation. and to promote the
material prosperity of the common
wealth"

College Is In
Trouble.
FORECLOSURE SALE
Is Scheduled To Take Place
Today.

The general equipment OF the well
known business college of Elmer p.
Childs on Front street. including writ
ing desks, typewriters, books. and the
general paraphernana OF the instltu-
ton, will be sold under the hammer by
Auctioneer Kendall at 10 o'clock this
morning under foreclosure sale in IA
vor of Robert s. Prentiss.
Notice Of foreclosure was made the
9th of November and today the prop
erty will be sold to satisfy the $500
mortgage held by Mr., Prentiss, and in
the conditions of which he alleges that
there has been a breach by Mr. Childs,
the mortgagor.
The Worcester Child's business Col
lege is one Of the oldest of the series
established by Elmer e. Childs, form
erly of Springfield, who has been in
charge Of the Worcester branch alone
for the past four months. Up to this
time Mr. Childs has made his own res
idence in Springfield, leaving the man
agement of the branch in this city to
w. b. Wilson, who is familiar to hun
dreds of graduates in the state.
The mortgage was placed on the To-
cal property in May. 1888 and there
have been no proceedings in the mat
ter until the notice of foreclosure Cor
breach of the conditions, as claimed,
was filed several days ago. The stu
dents of the college win witness
strange sight when they behold TIE
auctioneer disposing Of the property
without regard to the associations.
There have been nearly 4 hundred in
attendance at the college during its
most prosperous times, and there is
now large number for the time of tho
year.
1t is understood that after the title
to the property is FULLY secured TO Mr.
Prentiss that Mr.. Childs will continue
to conduct the college as in the past.
and that there will be no cessation of
the work there. The result all depends
| upon who becomes the purchaser Of the
paTaphernalia Of the institution, but II
was considered yesterday that Mr..
Childs would remain at the building
and conduct the college.
With the financial troubles at the col
lege there have been other changes of
a marked and significant nature dur
ing the past few months. Up to within
four months the entire management Of
the local branch has been in the hands
of Mr.. w. b. Wilson. whose popular
manner won hosts of friends here. Pre-
vious to this time Mr. Childs had re-
manned in Springfield. but with his re-
moval to this city there came a shake
up of the faculty and mana cement of
the institution. Mr.. Wilson ceased to be
identified with the branch at all, and
severing his connection with Mr.. Childs
he left for Rochester, N Y. where he
has started a college of his own.
Clifford L. Mahoney, the well known
teacher Of penmanship and other
branches Of the school, was the next
instructor to disappear from the facuI-
~, and he is now teaching in a school
in Fall River. Other changes of less
Importance have taken place from time
to time. until the last straw appears in
the foreclosure Of the property this
morning
Col. A. s. Pinkerton appears for Mr..
Prentiss in the foreclosure proceedings.

HE EXPLAINS.
Chairman DingIey Talks on
open Door" Policy.

Washington, Nov rs. 49, Chairman
Dingley Of the ways and means COM
mittee, in an interview with a star re
porter today, explained the term open
door policy, as applied to the future
commerce of the Philippines in case
they should be acquired by the United
States
THE phrase open door policy which
is now being talked about so much in
the newspapers" said Mr.. Dingley,
means simply equality Of treatment
and not free trade. As applied to the
Philippines. 1t would mean that imports
from Great Britain and all other for
eign countries are to be admitted at
the same rates Of duty as imports from
the United States.
"Of course this policy could not be
applied to the Philippines If they
should be admitted into the union with
territorial form Of government, I'M
less there should be an amendment to
the constitution permitting this. 1t Is
noticeable, however, that in the rasolu-
ton providing for annexation of Ha-
WaH passed at the last session of con-
gress, 1t was provided that the Hawaii
an tariff should continue in force until
congress should otherwise determine. 1t
is to be borne in mind that the present
talk about an open door policy for the
Philippines is intended to apply entire
~ to these islands while under e. mill

PICQUART CASE.
1t May Raise Greater Storm
Than Dreyfus Affair.

Paris, Nov. 25.-The Picquart case
seems in way of raising even a greater
storm than the Dreyfus affair. The pa
pers favorable to the general staff are
dumb in the face of the barefaced
decision of the military governor of
Paris, Gen. zurlinden, to try Col Pic
quart by court martial, while those fa-
voring revision are furious at this new
attempt TO defeat justice, and protest
against the court martial being or
dered.
Nobody believes that Col. Picquart
Is guilty of any crime except a cour-
ageous desire to ronder justice to ORGY
rus, but on all sides it is recognized
that in a practically short trial he may
be condemned On some technicalitY
thus attaining the apparent object
which is to throw doubt upon his de
positions before the court of cessation
in the Dreyfus trial
Every one is asking the motive of
Gen. Zurlinden in so persistently pur-
suing Col. Picquart, and why a court
martial, If necessary, could not be
postponed until the decision of the
court Of cessation had been given. Ev-
cry one is asking whether it is a des-
perate attempt to shield the former
minister Of war Gen. MERCER, and the
general staff, even at the risk of pre-
cipitating disaster and the nations ha-
tired. and in any event of driving every
doubling person into the Dreyfuslte
party.
A protest against the court martial
of PicQUart, bearing signatures of lead
ing authors, politicians and journalists,
is being widely circulated for further
names, and will be presented to tie
government. This evening 1t is re-
ported that M. De Freycinet, minister
for war, has consented to be interpret
lated ON the subject in the chamber Of
deputies next Monday, when a sensa-
tional scene may be expected Another
feature of the case is the torrent Of
hostile criticism now poured upon NJ.
De Freycinet who is accused Of quail
Ing before Cen Zurlinden and the gen
eral staff
Maitre Lebon. Col Picquarts coun-
sci, says he Is convinced il will be i'm
possible to condemn PicQuart on the
charges of forgery but that the ac-
cused officer may possibly be con-
demned on the charge Of communicat-
ing secret documents, although their
communication was in no way inimical
to the interests of the state. Col. Pic
quart continued his evidence before the
court of cessation throughout the whole
day, and his deposition is expected to
occupy several days more There is
still some hope that he may receive
justice, owing to the presence on the
court martial Of Col. Bonnal, who is a
great friend Of Picquart, but M. Glenn
enceau, in Aurore. declares that the
court martial is packed. and accuses
NJ De Freycinet of allowing an inno-
cent man to be victimized in order to
increase his own chances at the next
presidential election.
