Philippines Before the Commission

Paris, Oct. 12.-The Gaulois says
that the peace commissioners at their
meeting yesterday, raised the subject
of the Philippines Indirectly.
"The United States" the paper
says, "aim at a system Of cOmpensa-
tiOn and claiu possession of the whole
Philippine group. TIE American
government is preparing to become
responsible for the Philippine debt,
provided that Spain guarantees the
Cuban debt"
The discussion, the GaulOis says,
was very animated. Judge Day, the
head Of the American commission,
and Senior Montero Rios, president Of
the Spanish commission, having re-
ceiyed precise instructions from their
respective governments.
The Americans, it is stated, showed
that there can be no discussion Of the
principles upon which the protocol
based, while on the other hand the
Spaniards reply that the protocol was
signed at a critical time and in the
face Of such imperiouS necessity that
it can not be regarded as sanctioned
by the sovereign free will Of the
Spanish nation.

The battleShips Oregon and Iowa
sailed on the 18th with sealed orders
from Washington. There has been
considerable speculation as to the des.
tination Of the battleships. 1t was
first stated that they would proceed
direct to Manila, but subsequent re.
ports threw some doubt on this, and
Honolulu may be their objective
point, from whence they may proceed
to Manila to strengthen Admiral
Dewey'S position. Captain A. s
Barker is in command Of the Oregon
aud Captain Silas Terry commands

Justice Cox, of the District Supreme

originally divided into two counties and
that the laws of Virginia We're in force
in the part of the District ceded by that
State and the laws of Maryland in force
on the other side of the Potomac in the
section ceded by Maryland.
The first code of laws for the District

This code was killed by Congress. and
in 1863 Judge Meigs was appointed to draw
up new code. which was also rejected

In the eyes of the great majority uf Americans
the bencdietion of the bishop OF Rome has no
greater spiritual efficacy than that OF any Chris

gestion to Protestant visitor that the blessing
of old man could do him no harm.
With our Roman Catholic nei2hbors the case
stands differently. and an announcement that
comes from Washington has very real interest
for them. II is the Pope's express wish. Monsig-
nor Martinelli announces, that anybOdy who in
the proper spirit, sees the biogIaph and muto-
scope representations of him in the act OF bene-
diction snail receive the spiritual benefit as
if he personally had heard the blessing pronounced
by the Pope's lips.
Here's more reminder that We are living
in a new age-the age of inventions. When this
century began, the apostolic benedietion'' was
sent by letter. and often took months on the
journey. In recent years the telegraph and the

Now it is at the service OF any devout Roman
Cathc lie who has the price of admission to ths

any reason why it cannot just as well be spoken
