THE STRIKE AT PARIS
Continues to Spread, Though the
City is Quiet.

PARIS, Oct. lin spite of the Op-
timistic prediction of the end of the
strike being near, the strike continues
to spread. The bricklayers and wood
carvers to-day decided to join the
strikers. The city, however, isl perfect
ly quiet, but the enormous increase in
the strength of the garrison here points
to the fact that the Government fears
political rather than labor troubles.
The strikers Central Committee is a
political and revolutionary organiza
ton, and it is engineering the dispute
as if it were a strike of the proletariat.
No conflict between the soldiers and
strikers has occurred up to- the present

DISpoSITION OF PHILIPPINES.
HAS NOT YET BEEN TAKEN UP
BY PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
Discussion of Members So Far to
Questions Relating to Cuba
and Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE Peace
reaching a point of absolute variance
on the question of the Philippines, have
not as yet taken up that subject for
consideration
1t is true that at the very first ses-
sion of the joint commission the Span
ish representatives sought to raise a
question concerning the occupancy of
Manila Bay and town by the United
States military and naval forces. The
United States Commissioners promptly
refused to consider this point in any
aspect, and, with some reluctance, the
Spaniards gave over for the time being
the effort to raise that issue. Since
then the commission, whenever meet
ing jointly, has been engaged entirely
with three questions to the complete
exclusion of the Philippines. These
questions relate entirely to Cuba, Porto
Rico and Guam, and, according to the
very last reports from the Americans
to Washington, they are still under
consideration.
The United States will not assume
any financial indebtedness as the result
of the cession or release of Cuba and
Porto Rico. 1t was fully expected by
the authorities here that the Spanish
contingent on the Peace Commission
would make a strong effort to- have the
assumption of the heavy financial obli-
cations of these islands the condition
of the cession of Porto Rico and the
abandonment of sovereignty over Cuba.
But the American Commissioners We're
fully and definitely instructed on these
points, and the general tenor of the
instructions was that such obligations
We're not to be assumed by the United
States
No dissatisfaction is felt here at the
progress of the commission in the set
tlement of the questions assigned to
it. 1t was fully understood that the
issues presented would require. the
most delicate and cautious han1Ring,
and while the American Commission
ers were expected to deal with these
with the greatest firmness it was re-
allied that much consideration must
be shown for the Spanish Commission
ers, who would be obliged at least to
make an effort to secure an abatement
of the American demands in order to
satisfy public feeling at home.
no diminution in the confidence of the
Administration in the satisfactory out
come of the peace negotiations at
Paris. When that city was selected
as the meeting place by the Peace
Commissioners, at the most earnest
and repeated prayer of Mr.. Cambon,
it was understood that the American
Commissioners would be obliged to
bear up against a strong pressure from
the pro- Spanish element in the French
press, but this had all been discussed
before the Commissioners sailed from
Am erica. and the President was salts
fed that the men he had selected to
represent the United States We're of
sufficient individual strength to resist
any outside influence.
LONDON, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Paris says the United States and Span
ish Peace Commissioners are at entire
variance on the question involving the
disposition of the Philippines. and that
they have referred the matter to their
respective Governments.

INSPECT THE HARBOR
CONGRESSMAN COOPER AND EN-
GlNEER WARREN VISIT HERE.
GO OUT IN THE LIFE BOAT
North Pier is Found in Badly Decave6
Condition, and Recent Storms
Have Played Havoc with
the Foundations.

Congressman FL. A. Cooper, of Ra-
cine, and Chief Engineer of Rivers and
Harbors Warren, of the United States
government corps, were in the city to-
day talking over the proposed i'm
provements FOR the KenosEa harbor.
After dinner Capt. Warren and party
consisting of George A. Yule, 81. S.
Van lngen, G.. R. Mcdowell and a rep
resentative of this paper went out in
the life boat with Capt. Cameron and
Capt. Warren made a close inspection
of the damage the harbOr had suffered
during the recent storms, as we'll as the
general conditions of the cribs and
pilings. The south pier was found in
fairly good condition, but the north
pier was found to be in even worse
condition than was at first suspected.
The pilings have been washed away
and with the exception of a few feet at
the entrance of the harbOr it is posi-
lively unfit for use.
The water was sounded in several
places and found to be altogether too
shallow for the entrance Oflarger boats.
In this regard Capt. Warren said that
according to an act passed in 1888, he
was of the opinion that all the dredg-
ing now needed in the KenOsha harbor
could be done without any further
legislation by Congress, as that law
provided for the keeping in repair of
all public works then constructed. AS
to the repair of the piers Capt. Warren
said that no money was now avail
able, but probably would be in the
near future. He urged upon the citi-
zens the necessity of the city purchasing
the required land in or5er to meet the
government half way when they we're
ready to make the proposed improve
ments.
When the party returned the COM
mittee on harbor of the city council
and Capt. Warren held conference
and tried to arrange some plan to
hasten the desired improvements.
Later Capt. Warren and Congressman
Cooper were introduced to the royal
game of Golf at the Country club
grounds.
