Associated Press Special Wire.

PARIS, Oct. 26.-The American Peace
Commission held a session OF several
hours duration today prior to the joint ses-
sion of the two commissions, which opened
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The Americans
fully realize that they are approaching the
discussion of the chief question intrusted to
them, namely, the future of the Philippine
Islands, and it may be taken for granted
that they are well prepared to take the
matter up, if it is broached today by the
Spanish commission.
The meeting of the commissioners lasted
an hour and five minutes and was adjourned
until tomorrow Both the Spanish and
American commissioners were more reticent
after this session than ever before. The
Americans fully appreciate not only their
own serious responsibilities, but also the
delicate position of their Spanish colleagues,
to the burden of whose duties here is now
added the critical political situation at
Madrid, which may compel the president of
the Spanish commission (who is also pres
ident Of the Spanish senate), Senior Mon
tero de Rios, to leave Paris.
The Madrid correspondent of the Temps,
confirming the report that Premier Sa-
gasta and the queen regent have prevailed
upon the minister Of war. Gen. Correa, to
postpone indefinitely his resignation, pend
ing the conclusion of the peace negotiations,
says that they represented to the general
that his withdrawal might entail not only
the fall of the cabinet, but cause the resig-
nation of certain members of the Spanish
commission, including Senor Montero de
Rios, and thereby gravely compromise the
United States. The correspondent says:
"The net result is that an open crisis
seems to have been avoided until the con-
clusion of the treaty of peace. In any case
this has done away with the necessity of
an ad interim government, which was lately
suggested as likely to be the only solution
of the present difficulties"
As the peace negotiations are now nearing
the discussing of the Philippine question,
the Americans feel that no stage Of the
proceedings has so demanded their consid-
crate treatment. 1t may not be stated to-
night with certainty that the Cuban ques-
tion has received its last consideration by
the Americans, nor have the Spaniards ac-
cepted as ultimate the United States re-
fusal to assume any portion of the Cuban
debt. 1t may, however, be affirmed that the
Philippine question was not reached today,
but it may be discussed at tomorrow's ses-
sion, (which will be the first commission meet
ing held on succeeding days, which fact is in
some degree significant.

OUR WHITE SQUADRON.

The bulletin sent out by the Pos
 tai Telegraph Company on Sunday to the effect that the White squadron
 was in Havana waters, proved to be au error. The United States steam ship Maine has been ordered to Havana. She has not been ordered there on account of any disturbing news. but rather in the line of a resumption of the free intercourse Of our naval vessels in Cuban waters which prevailed prior to their with drawal on account of the outbreak of hostilities.
 Secretary Long, on being inter viewed in regard to it, stated that ''so far from there being any founda- ton for the rumOrs of Sunday of the trouble in Havana, matters are now in such a condition that our vessels are going to resume their friendly calls at Cuban ports and go in and out just as the vessels of other nations do. The Maine will go in a day or two on just such a visit.

EVE OF 4 BOOM.

Should the water works and sew craze systems for Prescott be put in shape in time to commence con struction thIs summer, the town will witness one of the liveliest periods in its existence up to date, and one which will continue for some time to come.
 The building of the Prescott and Southeastern Railway is practically an assured fact, and this work, in connection with the force required to construct the water works aud sewerage, would add to the pros perity of the place.
 But these two enterprises woulc by no means be all that will be in progress. Just as soon as it is known that Prescott Is to have a reliable water works system and sewerage, two or more large business blocks will be erected, and there is no doubt that other enterprises of a similar nature will be inaugurated.
 Already the outlook for consider erable building during the coming summer is good, and that Prescott is on the eve of better era. there can be no doubt. It is only a ques- ton of a few years until it becomes the Denver of Arizona.

>EE ERA FOR rKEsc0TT.

One of the most harmonious meet ings, as we'll as one of the most en- thusiastic ever held in Prescott, was the one held last evening to discuss the question of water works and a sewerage system for Prescott. There was not a dissenting voice to the dual proposition and the matter will now be speedily presented to con gress for action.
 It was most gratifying to witness the pArfect harmony and unanim'ty that was manifested on the subject. While he present condition of the city Is by no means alarming or even specially unsatisfactory from a business stand point, our future growth and prosperity depends up- on an increased water supply as well as upon a system of sewerage for the town.
 While last nights meeting then cannot be said to be a turning point in the history of the town, 1t can be put down as marking the starting point of a new era in our progress.
 With the building of these inter nal improvements and the construc- tion of the Big Bug raj road which is now an assured fact, the year 1898 will be one of the most notable ones in our history, and one which will be looked dack to in after years as the date of the commencement of our greater growth and of the new Prescott.

BEFORE THE CAUCUS.

 made mention of Mayor McKisson's
 ambiguous pledge made to the dem

 "Gentlemen," said the candidate,
 |you have called me into this caucus room to get my honest views. admire your caution, and while l can not promise to stultify myself, I can at least ask you to clearly define just what you want of me. 1 recog- nize that there Is a difference be- tween a 'crat' and 'can,' and al though l am a can for all public purposes, 1t Is stIll possible for me to modify such Of my unalterable views as do not harmonize with those entertained by the distin- guished 'crats' before me. 4 man who can not adapt himself to the views of the eminent legislators from whom he expects support is un- worthy the confidence of all lovers of truth and political honor. Of course, a conscientious man will not be expected to go too far in adopt ing principles to which he is un- accustomed, but 1 think l can safely assure the highly intellectual gen tlemen present that they can't go any too far for me to keep up with them.
