attorney, o. F. Buse, having filed the first

Citizen. In 1888 Mr.. Landsman failed in
business in Helena, Mont, with liabilities
to the amount of $4,000 and nominal as.

there was no law to adjust matters except

Landsman has been unable to do business
for himself. The courts have now declar-

GREAT STORM IN NEW YORK.
Almost Blixxard, and 1t stopped the
Trolley Lines.

New York, Nov. 2S.-The first severe
snow storm of the winter struck New
York and vicinity early Saturday after
noon, and increased in violence until to-
night, when it assumed almost the proper
ton of blizzard. Forty miles an hour
is the rate the wind blew through the city
and on Long Island coast it reached
velocity of go miles an hour. At about II
o'clock the snow had fallen to a depth
of several inches, and in some places had
drifted as high as five feet.
The temperature had gradually fallen
until at midnight it was 26 degrees.
All of the trolley lines running to the
suburbs have been forced to discontinue
service, and surface lines in Manhattan
and Brooklyn boroughs have Jared al
most as badly, being forced to abandon
their schedules. All of the horse car lines
are blocked. The elevated roads have dis
continued their regular schedule and are
beginning to have trouble.

TAKES TWENTY MILLIONS
AND GIVES UP PHILIPPINES
Under Protest Spain Agrees to Ac-
cent the Terms offered by the
United States Rather Than He
new the Horrors of War-Cuban
Debt Still Open.

Paris, Nov. 29.-The two peace COM
missions were in separate sessions all yes
terday morning. The joint commission
met at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
the Spanish commissioners Immediately
announced the acceptance of the Ameri-
can demands. The Spanish acceptance
was made verbally. A written acceptance
will be presented later.
The Spanish commissioners announced
being authorized by their government to
reply that the American propositions are
inadmissible on legal principles and are
not proper compromise on the legal
principles on the Spanish part, but that
all diplomatic resources are exhausted
and the Spanish commission is now asked
to accept or reject the proposition. Spain.
inspired by reasons of patriotism and hui
manity and to avoid the horrors of war.
resigns herself to the power of the victor
She accepts the offered conditions in order
to conclude a treaty of peace.
The American demands include the ac
QUESTION of the whole of the Philippine
and Sulu groups for $2O,OO0,000, and it is
also understood the United States will
purchase the Caroline group. The ques-
ton of the debt of Cuba is left unsettled.
VIII Not Please Europe.
Paris, Nov. 29.-There is no denying
that the whole European continent will
bitterly resent American acquisition OF
the Philippines. This sentiment is not
confined to diplomats, but, especially here
in Paris, it is the opinion constantly
heard in the highest French society. 1t i.
known that high official of the French
foreign Office said: 'The appearance of the
ing factor to the whole of Europe. The
Americans, as is well known, lack diplo,
matte manners, and will surely bring con-
slant trouble to all of u.s."
As to the general sentiment. w. T.
Stead, who has just returned from touI
of France, Belgium, Germany, Russia
Austria, Turkey and Italy, and who has
seen the highest politicians in each coun
try, and in some cases their rulers, said
to a correspondent of the Associated
Press: "The immense majority of Euro
peans are, of course, absolutely ignorant
of what has happened. Interested in theil
daily toll they neither know nor care
what occurs in the other hemisphere. But
other Europeans, who read the newspa
pers, are able to form what may be called
the public opinion of the old world. They
are practically unanimous on the matter
Outside of England l have not met sin
gle non-American who was not opposed tc
the expansion of America; nor through my
whole tour of Europe have met Euro
pean who did not receive the protesta
tons of the genuine sincerity with which
the Americans entered upon the war with
more or less mock Incredibly"
Stead reports that the bitterest hostil
ity OF all was around the vatican.

SOME MORE CARLIST TALK.
The COwardly Claimant willing t.
Fight "a Conquered Foe.

London, Nov. 2S.-An English Carlist
positively asserts that Don Carlos army
will take the field in Spain soon after the
treaty is signed. He declares that loan
has been fully financed, and that it is
divided equally between France and Eng.
land, and he adds that after the English
capitalists were shown the evidences on
which Don Carlos chances of success are
based they offered several times the
amount asked. The English Carlists as.
sert that much more money would have
been secured had it not been for the fact
Don Carlos stipulates that there should
be no assistance from Jews, as he is ap-
prehensive of their obtaining financial
control of the monarchy.

KILLED ONE TRAIN RoBBER.
Discouraging One of MissOuri's Best
known Industries.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 3O.-A special
to the Journal from Sedalia, Mo-, says:
The Missouri Pacific passenger train
No. "a, which left st. Joseph at 2:30 p.
IN. yesterday via Kansas City, running
from the latter city over the Lexington
branch, was held up four and half miles
west of Sedalia at 9:55 by three masked
men, one of whom, Jim West, an engin-
eer in the company's employ, was cap
tured, while second is believed to have
been wounded and the third escaped.
Originally the hold-up was to have oc.
CURED last Friday night, but one of the
men implicated weakened and the at.
tempt was postponed. Last night Super.
intendent L. d. Hopkins was apprised
that the hold-up was arranged for to-
night and he prepared for it. When the
train left Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, six
secret service men in the company's EN-
ploy were aboard. When the point where
the attempt was to be made was ap
preached, two of the men-Tom Furlong
of st. Louis and w. w. Kay of the Mis-
souri, Paciic-took their positions in the
cab of the engine. Four more men with
Detective Frank Barnett of the Missouri
Pacatic at Osawatomie, Kas., in charge
were secreted in the baggage car.
Both Sides Opened Fire.
One mile west of Georgetown at MUD
Creek, Engineer Daniels was signalled tc
stop and did so. At once the three rob
bers opened fire, which was returned by
the company's posse of six men. Fully
20 shots were exchanged when teh robbers
realized that they were trapped and be
gan to retreat. The officers gave pursuit.
and Engineer Jim West, a freight man
was captured. The officers fired mum
Der of shots, and it is reported that the
second robber was wounded, but this i!
not corroborated. The train then cam,
on to Sedalia and West was committed
to Jail. As quickly as possible a posse
was organized and proceeded to the scene
of the hold-up in the hope of capturing
the other two robbers. The company Off
Gals are said to be in possession of thu
names of the two remaining robbers ant
their capture is considered certain.

THE ARMY WILL BE REDUCED
Peace VIII Cause the Mastering Out
of Thousands.

New York, Nov. 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
One of the first results of the determin-
alton of the peace negotiations at Paris
will be orders for the mastering out of
as many as 10000 men of the volunteer
army. The orders thus far cover about
$4,000 men. but not more than $4,000
have actually been mustered out.
The present army consists of about
10000 men, exclusive of all who are fur.
Laughed, $1,000 of whom are regulars
The forces contemplated for the islands
are: For the Philippines, 10000; for
Puerto Rico, about 1000; for Cuba, not
more than 10000.
This, on the basis of $4,000 men for the
regular establishment-which is the NUM-
Der now reckoned on by competent mill
tary forecasters here-will leave 10000
men for frontier and station work in this
country. Secretary Alger recommends
100000 men.
Muster Out Volunteers.
There are now 10000 volunteers who
are entirely useless in view of the TECH
nical cessation of hostilities. Orders
for the mastering out of these will be
issued without delay, which will leave
100000 men in the army. 1t was re.
called by army officers that the regular
army of $4,000 men has never been up to
its limit of enlisted strength and that
the army of $4,000 men under the Hull
bill lacked 10000 of complete enlistment
Secretary Alger refused to say whether
he would ask for more pay for enlisted
men, but it is asserted that it will be i'm.
possible to secure the enlistment of 75,.
600 men unless there be greater pay
than $l3 month for each man. An in.
crease of the pay for privates in the SER
vice will be one of the almost certain de.
velopments of legislation for army reor.

the dangerous climates to be endured in
