They declare that Hollinger was
sponsor for Gillett and allowed the
borrower to confidence others through
him. In his financial distress Mr..
Hollinger is getting very little sympa-
thy from his fellow dealers at the Live
Stock exchange. Hollinger was the
one man at the stock yards who knew
Gillett best and the other commission
men contend that they were influenced
by Hollingers confidence in the young
man. !
However this may be, Gillett was on
much closer terms with some Of the
commission firms than he was with
Hollinger. Two days before he ran
away he went to one of the largest
commission houses in the exchange
and asked ii member of the firm to let
him have $4,000. Gillett offered no
security other than his personal check
for the favor. He simply told the
trader that his account in the bank
was running low and asked him to
trade checks with him just for few
hours. He gave check on bank
that he had no funds in and received a
good check for $4,000, which was
cashed in ten minutes. Gillett mulcted
the firm for nearly $500, 900.
The night that the S1O,O00 check was
cashed Gillett was at the Midland ho-
tel flashing a big roll Of bills He COM
pared rolls with another sportive
stockman. Gillett's bundle was near
ly as big as the city directory and had
several 81 900 notes for wrappers. The
confding commission mans $4,000
was in the bundle.

Spain has, however, exhausted all
the resources of diplomacy in an at
tempt to Justify her attitude. Seeing
that an acceptance Of the proposal
made to Spain is a necessary condition
to continuance Of negotiations, and
seeing that the resources of Spain are
not such as to enable her to re-enter
upon war, she is prepared. in her de-
sire to avoid bloodshed, and from con-
siderations of humanity and patriot
ism, to submit to the conditions of the
conquering nation, however harsh
: they may be. She is, therefore, ready
to accept the proposals of the Amer

PARIS, Nov 3n.-As a result of the

the protocol agreements was com

ers held by Spain will go into the pro

already agreed that Spain is to release
them upon the United States under
taking to secure the release of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands of
Aguinaldo This question is so inti-
mately related to The peace treaty that
1t has been removed from the subjects
that are matters of negotiation and
has been embodied in the articles con-
tanning the protocol agreements.
The commercial and general treaty
of 1895 will be revived, to be recast
later; the treaty of 1884 for the settle
ment of certain claims will be revived;
the treaty of 1877, providing for extra
dition, will be revived; the trademark
treaty of 1882 will be revived, and the
supplemental extradition treaty of
1852 will be revived, in addition to
several modus vivendi agreements.
Thus, the commissions will have be-
fore them the entire treaty for amend
ment. approval Or rejection.
On all the points outside of the pro
tocol there will be friendly negotia-
tions only, Spain having the right to
name prices she wants for her terri
tory and to accept or reject the Amer
lean offers. The Spaniards, no less
than the Americans, are anxious to
