Paris, Nov. 24.-The Spanish peace
commissioners last night telegraphed
to Madrid the substance of the United
States memorandum presented yester-
day, and late yesterday evening they
were discussing 1t among themselves.
As late az l O'Clock this morning a
Spanish commissioner affirmed that bis
colleagues did not know what to do re.
garding the American offer. There ID
q difference Of opinion among unofficial
people near the commissions, but the
prediction is made that Spain will de-
cline the American offer Of money.
She will refuse to cede the Philippines
and will say to the United States:
.'You may take the archipelago be-
cause you7have the power to do 80. Az
you advance We will retire, protesting
against the greedy aggression. We
will faithfully carry out our part OF the
pledges, and leave Cuba and Porto Rico
In your hands. You came to engage
in q discussion under the terms Of the
protocol, but you evidently meant,
when drawing up that document. to
provide conference in which, though
we differ man to man, you proposed to
announce at the proper time what you
would do, whether We agreed to 1t OF

conference OF negotiative character,
and sets up the United States as DOM
inant power, whose first purpose is to
listen, but whose ultimate determine
ton is to do lie own will. !"

FRANCE AND ITALY.
Long Standing Friction Removed by .
Commercial Treaty.


Long Standing Friction Removed by ,
Commercial Treaty.
Paris, Nov. 23.-It was quite unex-
pectedly announced this afternoon that
q commercial treaty has been concluded
between France and Italy. granting
mutually favored treatment except for
silk goods, which will remain subject
to the maximum tax. A bill embody-
ing the agreement will be submitted
Immediately to the chamber of depu-
ties. The government also introduced
bill In the chamber today modifying
the wine duties favorably to Italy.
The negotiations that have illuminated
in these arrangements have been on
foot for two years, but nobody believed
that definite agreement was pending.
It is believed that the Fashoda affair
was instrumental in inducing France to
grant the necessary concessions, though
it is noteworthy that the silk duties,
which caused the breaking Of the treaty
! In 1887, remain almost unchanged.
The negotiations have been conducted
with the utmost secrecy. The effect Of
the concessions involved is not yet
known. but it is expected that they will
have an important political influence
for the removal Of q long standing fric-
ton between the two countries. The
treaty, it Is noticed, was concluded dur
ing the absence of Emperor William
from Germany, and there is much
speculation regarding its probable re-
suits upon European lliances.

One Bandit Killed and Three Fright
ened Away.
Barstow, CAL, Nov. 22.-The first
section of west-bound Santa Fe train
No. 81 was stopped two miles west Of
Daggett early this morning by men Sc
creted in the tender OF the engine.
Engineer Bunnell was confronted by
two 45-Caliber revolvers and ordered
to stop. but this order was counter
manded and the train proceeded for
another mile and was then brought to
a standstill at the command of the rob-
bers, who evidently expected to meet
pals at this point In tn is they were
not disappointed. and the robbers or
dered Engineer Bunnell to carry 90
pound bag of dynamite to the express
car. Messengers Hutchinson and Blake
~ appeared at the door of the express
car armed with guns. The robbers
fred at Blakeley. who locating them
by the flash Of their guns, returned the
fire, killing one robber. The dead
mans left eye and all that side of his
head was torn away. The other rob-
bers stampeded and made their escape.
A posse is in pursuit and it is thought
that at least one Of them will be cap
tured shortly. The dead man has not
been identified. 1t is thought that the
men were novices at the train robbin0
game. They secured no booty.

We VIII Buy an island

Washington, Nov. 22.-The acquisi-
ton of an island in the Caroline group,
owned by Spain, will be part Of the
work of the Paris peace commission.
Cable communication between the
United States and Manila via Homo
lulu is regarded as desirable, should
we occupy the islands, and Guam
island, in the Ladrone group. and one
of thu Caroline islands would be useful
as intermediary stations. The acqusi-
ton of one Of the Caroline islands. con.
sidered suitable for q cable station,
would involve money confederation
and the United States will pay Spain
a reasonable price for its relinquish-
ment.

THE MYSTERY DEEPENs.
shot Fired Hs.. the wallace House :,
Pend1eton.


Pend1eton.
Pendleton, Nov. 22.-This evening
at $3.50 O'Clock another shot was fred
close to the house In which lived the
family Of Miss May Wallace, who was
murdered week ago last Thursday
night. The Wallace family gave up
the house last Thursday and P. II. Fee
moved in with his family. Fee lie q
brother Of Judge James A. Fee, and
came here but q few days ago from
Iowa. The first night the family &C.
cupied the house, he heard . noise In
the back yard. Drawing back a cur
tain of the very window through which
Miss Wallace was shot, he saw two
men jump the fence and 60 scurrying
away toward the wooden mills. He
thought from their general appearance
they were Cinnamon. The next night
he also saw men prowling about. and
notified Sheriff Blakely, who detailed
two deputy sheriffs to remain In the
house all night, but they saw no one.
Fee each time armed himself with two
pistols and went quickly In search, but
found no one. By daylight he found
tracks made by a No. z shoe, the ordi-
nary kind worn by white men. The
affair has deepened the mystery Of the
shooting of Miss Wallace. and created
most intense interest here. Were it
not Sunday evening, when but few men
are on the streets and in places of re-
sort, probably an attempt would be
made to clean out Chinatown. Feeling
is wrought up, and anger is shown to-
ward the Chinese residents. although
it is not positively known that those
lowering about the house were Mon.
pOlians.

Molokoff says just before he LETT

hunter and trader, named Marsten, re-
turned to Nunivak from Kuskowin,
where she had been visiting relatives.
and reported that when the steamer
Jessie and barge Minerva went ashore
In the breakers, large number of In
dams were on the beach and rendered
assistance In getting the whites ashore
and saving supplies from the barge.
After being comfortably camped, the
Indians demanded larger portion Of
the supplies as payment for services.
which, according to the Indian woman g
story. was refused. A few nights later,
while all were asleep, the Indians made
rush on the camp, killing the entire
party, including Missionary Weber,
his wife and child. After the massacre,
the bodies were stripped of clothing and
valuables. They were then taken In
canoes considerable distance from

Molokoff's story is partially corrob-
GRATED by letter from Marsten, re-
ceived by Barneson & Chilcott, who

WORK WAS STOPPED
Northern Pacific Not to Cross
Lapwai Reservation.
MUST FIRST HAVE AUTHORITY
Engineers Say They viii Walt for Per
init and Settle Ri&ht-of-Wsy
Claims in Advance.

n AOWl0tOus AuddOs ANOVs co. AA0
Northern Pacific let contract to Wren
s. Greenough. of Montana, for the con-
struction of section Of road on Lapwai
creek. The agents Of these contractors
arrived last week, and began prepara-
tions for grading a roadbed along the
narrow Lapwai valley. This valley Is
all settled by Indians, except half
mile adjacent to the Clearwater river,
and the present line Of the Northern
Pacific road. The Indians hold these
homes very sacred. as they were inher-
tied from their fathers and then allot-
ed to them by the government. They
protested against trespass, although
the railway agents offered to purchase
the right of way through every holding
and the engineers say they had no in
tention of proceeding without legal
titles to the land appropriated. How
ever, excitement ran high when the
large force Of graders appeared upon the
scene. Indian Agent Fisher also pro-
tested against the trespass upon the
government land without due authority
from the interior department..
These conditions were reported to the
government, and it is believed an order
was asked placing the military at the
disposal of the agent. to be used to
eject the railroad force if necessary.
The officers Of the railroad company
say the excitement was uncalled for.
that they never entertained the inten-
tion of proceeding without first secur-
ing all the right of way through proper
authority. In the meantime q large
force Is waiting for orders to begin
grading.
The engineers say they will wait for
the permit from the government. and
they will satisfy individual claims for
right Of way before they begin. The
Indians, whose inter ests are involved,
are intelligent. and they will be guided
in the matter entirely by the agent, In
whom they have implicit confidence.
and to whom they have appealed for
protection in their legal rights. There
could be no demand for troops other
than to protect the rights of the govern
ment and the Indian wards. The call,
if made for this purpose, was from a
misapprehension of the purpose of the
railroad company.
Lapwai creek is stream flowing from
the southwark and joining the Clear
water river about 10 miles east Of
Lewiston. The line mentioned IN the
foregoing dispatch is not the main
projected line of the Nothern Pacific up
the Clearwater and across into Mon
tana. but branch to tap the heavy
timber Of the Craig mountains. and the
rich farming lands OF the reservation
and Camas prairie. The promptness
with which grading crews get at work
shows how keen is the competition OF
the present railroad rivalry.
