THE PEACEMAKERS.
Progress of the Joint Com
mission In Paris.
NEARING THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Rumored That the Spanish COnimis-
sioners Have Submitted MemOran-
dunn For IA Preliminary Treaty.
The Session Was Important.

PARIS, oct. 27.-The meeting of the
peace commissioners yesterday lasted
an hour and five minutes and was ad-
journed until today.
Both the Spanish and the American
commissioners were more reticent after
this session than ever before.
The Americans fully appreciate not
only their own serious responsibilities,
but also the delicate position of their
Spanish colleagues, to the burden Of
whose duties here is now added the
critical political situation at Madrid,
which may compel the president of the
Spanish commission, who is also presi-
dent of the Spanish senate, Senior Mon
tero Rios. to leave Paris.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Temps. in confirming the report that
Premier Sagasta and the queen regent
have prevailed upon the minister OF
war, General Correa, to indefinitely
postpone his resignation pending the
conclusion of the peace negotiations,
says that they represented to the gem
eral that his withdrawal might entail
not only the fall of the cabinet, but
cause the resignation Of certain MEM
bers of the Spanish peace commission,
including Senior Montero Rios, and
thereby gravely compromise the issue
of the peace negotiations.
The correspondent of the Temps
adds:
THE net result is that an open crisis
seems to have been avoided until the
conclusion Of the treaty of peace. In
any case, this has done away with the
necessity for an ad interim govern
ment, which was lately suggested as
likely to be the only solution of the
present difficulties"
AS the peace negotiations are now
nearly the discussion Of the Philippine
question, the Americans feel that nc
stage Of the proceedings has so de-
manded their considerate treatment.
Il may not be stated with certaint,
that the Cuban question has received
its last consideration by the American
nor that the Spaniards have accepte,
as ultimate the United States refusa
TO assume any portion Of the Cubai
debt.
1t may, however, be affirmed that thl
Philippine question was not reached
yesterday, but it may be discussed q
today's session, which viii be the frs
occasion during these negotiations o
a joint session Of the commissions be
ing held on succeeding days which fac
is in some degree significant.

The national assembly Of the League
Of American Wheelmen for 1898 is now a
matter Of history and all the great ex.
pectations of an adjustment of the Diff
ferences existing between that organ
ization and that of the California Wheel
men resulted in nothing. What did the
league do? 1t refused to admit profess
sionals to membership, yet 1t decided
that s2500 should be the annual salary
of Chairman Mott Of the racing board
in his work of looking after profession-
ais; local option as to Sunday racing

re-elected and the east triumphed over
the west in a manner that will do the
league as whole more harm than good.
Up to- the time of the meeting Of the as
sembly there were only two outlawed
organizations Of wheelmen in the coun-
try, one In California and the other in
Louisiana. Before the next assembly
there will be half score. To be sure.
the league kindly readmitted a num-
ber Of California riders. but they had
not asked that such action be taken.
Such reinstatement can avail them
nothing, as most Of the men will again
race under sanctions of the G. A. G. G..
and that will again place them under

BASKET BALL

The second game Of basket ball be-
tween the Los Angeles Athletic club and
the Y. M. c. A. was awarded to the latter
organization Saturday night by score
OF to Q. but not, however, without a
protest. Before the game the associa-
tion claimed that the referee had the
right to call fouls, and an agreement was
reached that the referee should abide by
the rules. In the second half the club
players made the claim that the referee
in calling foul had reversed his de-
cision and had not decided according to
the rules. This, they claimed, was re-
peated later, and the Athletic club re-
fused to continue the game, which was
awarded to the Y. M. G. A. by default.
The game will be protested before the
Y. M. G. A. national association.
