Rev. Mr.. Bailey preached a very able
aud forceful Thanksgiving sermon Sun
day from the words: "Thou crownest
the year with thy goodness" He spoke
OF the goodness OF God in the changing
seasons, and in the operations OF nature.
Man was the highest thought of God in
the universe, and He was constantly pro-

for gratitude; of the mission of Christ
and His influence upon civilization, and
OF our special causes as a nation, and as
individual citizens, for gratitude and

ITO be perfectly frank, l have very

Home Journal "At the same time, there
are people who fancy the idea OF making
resolutions at some arbitrary division of
time, such as the first day of new year.
But the characters OF those resolves should
eraanate from ones own heart, and not
be suggested by another. Yet an excel

As fo inc Result of Yesterdays SeS. sion of inc Peace Commissions.

Paris, Nov. IA statement is printed here today with much promi- nepce that at today's joint session Of the peace commissioners the Americans will insist upon a complete sur relnder of Spanish sovereignty over the Philippine islands, and in the event Of the Spanish commissioners refusing to agree to this, Judge Day, the president of the American commission, acting under instructions from Washington, will present an ultimatum to the Spaniards.
 It is further alleged that this seem ing haste is due to a desire to settle the negotiations before the elections in the United States take place Refer- ence is made to these allegations ill view, Of the fact that they may have also been circulated in the United States. But there is no truth in the statements made. No uItimatum i3 contemplated and there is no proba- bllity Of drastic measures being taken by the Americans
 The two commissions are now con- sidering an open question and the Americans expect to carefully weigh all the points involved and to care fully consider the arguments of the Spaniards. The two commissions moc at2 o'clock this afternoon. The Americans were aware before the ses- sion opened that the Spaniards would decline their proposal made on Mon day last.
 The Gau1ois today says it has bean informed On absolutely reliable author ity that Spain will refuse to discuss the unconditional surrender of the Philippine islands. Spain, it is further asserted, made particular reservations concerning thier reter:ion of the Phil ippine islands and the Spanish min ister of foreign affairs Duke Almode- var del Rio, had himself al the time of the signing of the peace protocol stip- ulated that the island of Luzon alone should remain occupied by the Amer ican troops while rhe peace negctia- tionS were in progress and that Spain would resume sovereignty over the archipelago as soon as a more iibera:

 At yesterdays session of the two commissions the Spaniards said some of the defenses around Havana ought to be destroyed, because the people O; the country districts declared that they prevented agricultural labor. The pro- posal was considered suspicious by the Americans, who refused to accept it until an American officer shall have examined the defenses and reported.
 It is suspected that i,he Spaniards want to take away some more cannon from the inland batteries.
 During the session Admiral Sampson refused strongly to assent to proposal ito grant the Spanish army until Feb ruary to complete the evacuation. The was net as friendly as former ones.
