Fairy Possession.

A writer in the London Spectator has
many interesting things to tell about
popular superstitions that survive in
Ireland. "A friend of his who lived in
Cohiienara states that the belief in
fairies and the misehievous ''"Httrc
Peepie""tsf still verysstfongs In that
region, and the idea Of "fniry poksesS-
kion" Is also common. This In tier super
Btition sometimes works disastrously
as when a sick person is entirely neg-
lccted by his or her friends. II any
rehonstrance is made, the answer is:
''ShUre, it's not 1Iith Cor her, as the

The quantities of food yearly ex-

double the present number Of live stock,

Tho AngIc-Saxon Race Again Proves
Itself Unconquerable.

Vancouver, B. c., April 1a.--Fourth
Officer Hohburn of the steamer Empress
of Japan, now in port, tells of big
street fight in Hong Kong. Just before
the steamer sailed a row occurred in o
saloon between Russian and English sail
ors.
A squad OF Russian sailors on land held
council of war and hostilities were de-
clared against the Anglo Saxon race. In
thirty minutes 400 German, French and
Russian sailors had lined three deep along
Queen street, which is twenty five feet
wide for one hundred yards from Joss
temple to the water edge and defied the
Yankees and Johnnie Bulls to break their
ranks, jearing at them for cowards..6

The allied German, French and Russian
forces were soon surrounded and in the
words Of an eye witness the small squad
of Anglo-Saxons knocked seven bells ont

interfere. The officers hurried to shore in
launches but the hostilities did not cease

Paris. Nov. 1.-The French papers
derive their news OF the work of the
peace commissions from Spanish
sources. and therefore the morning pa
pers here are interesting as indicating
the atmosphere in Spanish quarters
and the trend of French views and ten
denotes.
1t must be recalled that the Span
iards have aequieseed In the refusal OF
the United States government to as
sumo any of the Spanish debt, and the
Cuban. question has been set away to
await its place in the final treaty pro-
viding differences on the question OF
the Philippine islands shall not prevent
the making of any treaty
AS the whole is composed OF the
parts, so must the Philippine question
be mutually agreed on. or none OF those
questions previously agreed on VIII
ind place in the treaty.
In view of the facts then, the Paris
press has indicated tendency to con-
fuse the situation.
The Matin in reviewing 1T says: ut
is well understood that the cession OF
Porto Rico was tantamount to the pay
ment of war indemnity In cash anc
entirely freed Spain from any subse-
ouent repetition on the subject"
Turning back to Cuba. the Matin
saws: "The Spaniards declined to con-
cur in separating the debt from the
pledge. the mortgage from the loan,
and as it was impossible to reach an
understanding they asked that at least
the order IF the protocol be inverted,
and that the question of the Philip
pines be previously discussed, that
question possibly offering the Ameri-
cans an OF portunity for tending some
compensation for the enormous sacri-
fees they have forced upon the con-
quered.
1.-THE Americans finally acceded to
the change and only asked the Span
iards to accept Professionally the
clauses relating to the Cuban debt,
with the reservation that the accept
ance could be withdrawn If no agree
ment was reached as to the Philip
pines
Referring to the meeting, the Matin
remarks: The Spaniards said they
would NAL their answer known en-
Friday. But it is easy to foresee what
IL will be-refusal, precise and formal.
The Spanish p1enipotentiaries have
made I'D their minds in the event of
the United States adverting to the
Philippine proposition, to decline sign
ing the act of peace. to break of the
negotiations and to call upon the civ
flized nations to witness the abuse o.
force to which they will be subjected.
and the violation of the provisions set
forth in the Washington protocol"

How the Proposition Regarding the Phili-
pinnes Is Considered.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The advices
from Paris to the effect that the United
States peace commissioners have de-
manded the cession to the United
States of the entire Philippine group
is in line with the instructions that
have been issued to the representatives.
of the United States.
But there was a lack of data as to
the financial and political affairs of the
Philippines, and so it happened that
when the United States commissioners
sailed they were not committed beyond
change to any line of policy.
A majority of their number leaned
towards a restriction CT the demands
to be put forth as to the Philippines,
.arying all the way from the retention
of Manila bay and the immediate sur
rounding country to tho acquisition of
the whole island CT Luzon. That rep
resented about the extreme demand
that was in mind when the commission
left.
But since that time the president has
become convinced that there is great
popular demand for the annexation to
the United States of the whole Philip
pine group. and he is disposed to defer
to that sentiment. Besides, there is
ground to believe that in an unofficial
manner, possibly through informal
communication with Agoncillo, Aguin-
aIdo's agent in Paris or perhaps
through some indirect dealing between
that chieftain and lmiral Dewey, the
United States commissioners have sat
isfied themselves thae the difficulties
in the way of anneXa :oa, so far as
they might be expected - depend upon
the will of the natives, hay In very
much exaggerated.
1t can not be learned definitely what
money consideration is to pass with
the title to the Philippines. Indeed,
there is reason to believe that even the
United States commissioners have not
yet been able to fix the amount exactly.
Assuming that tkey are to repudfate
all portions of the debt of the islands
which does not represent money spent
for actual betterments. it will be seen
at once that the task presented to the
commissioners of differentiating this
debt is not an easy one, particularly in
view of the VIGOROUSLY loose financial
methods of the Spanish colonial au-
thorities. That this debt should be
assumed by the United States in some
proportion is said at the state depart
ment to be inevitable if annexation is
to follow.

washington, Nov. 1.-The request of
the First Colorado infantry to be re-
turned from Manila to the United
States can not be granted by the war
department. 1t was stated by officers
of the army that such request had been
frequent from soldiers of volunteer or
CARNATIONS, who enlisted to fight, but
did not enlist for garrison duty. The
desire of this regiment to return home
was simply the desire of other Yolun-
teers, and nothing could be done. an
oficer said, until congress met and
provided some kind of a force to take
the place of the volunteers. The sub
ject of recognizing the army with a
view to securing an adequate force for
the new possessions for the United
States, has already received the serious
consideration of the president, the sec
rotary of war and officers of the army.
