like to see the Republicans take all the
glory Of tle war on their own soldiers.
He said the war belonged to the Am eri-

method to the people to have any party
assume the right to take all the credit.
While the war was on, no one could find
man in the United States who was
against it, though, said tse speaker, II

his succ essor in office, Mr.. Mckinley,

PRESIDENTS PLEASED
He ThIaks Peace IS Good as Here. but
What WIN the People Think OF
HIs.Terms?


WAsHINeroN, Aug. A. The United
States government is now waiting to
hear again from Spain, and This time
it is expected that the answer will be
final. Firmly but courteously the
President declined the earnest apperl of
the French Ambassador to modify the
United States demands, except in slight
and comparatively unimportant re
spects. There is no doubt but that the
peace negotiations are progressing to
the entire satisfaction of the President
and the members of the cabinet. The
statement was made today. by q high
official of the Administration, that
within short time there would be a
complete cessation of hostilities.
Secretary Days call upon the Am
bassador last night was for the purpose
principally of making it perfectly clear
that the evacuation of Cuba, Puerto
Rico, aud one of the Ladrone
Islands, to be selected by the United
States, and the permanent cession to
this government of all these islands ex-
cept Cuba, was made condition pre-
cedent to all peace negotiations. At
the requeetof Cabon, the President con
sented that the commission to arrange
tsrms of peace should meet outside the
United States, probably at Paris. 1t was
miJnight before the concession of the
Presi lent regarding the meeting place
of the peace commissioners was com
municated to the Madrid authorities, so
that allowing for difference in time it
was impossible for the answer to have
been received this morning. However,
it is expected that the delay will not he
more than day or two, and the answer
will be an unconditional acceptance of
the terms as they now stand.

PROPOSALS FOR PEACE.
Spain is Evidently Playing us for Suckers,
And we viii Bite.

NEW YORK, Aug. "A special to
the Tribune, from Washington, says:
Spain has practically agreed to our
terms of peace, without asking for their
material modification The hour spent
by Ambassador Cambon at the White
House, not only removed all doubt on
this point but sufficiently indicated that
the formal conclusion Of negotiations
would be secured more promptly than
had been expected by even the most
sanguine. When Cambon left the
White House, it is believed he was pre-
pared to remove the last indecision In
the decision at Madrid, and that not
latter than Friday or Saturday Of this
week, he will be the bearer Of the Span
Ish final dispatch, to the White House,
which will result in an immediate ar
mistice.
PEACE THOUGHT NEAR.
WASHINGTON, Aug. A long con
ference between the President and
Secretary Day and Secretary Long, was
held this afternoon. Day looked fa-
tigued as consequences of the night of
conference with the French Ambas-
sador. They were together, going over
the peace propositions, until l o'clock
this morning. Secretary Day today
expressed the opinion that there was no
longer any danger of delay. Those
who have gone over the ground and
conferred with the officials express the
belief that peace is very nearly at
tanned. One Administration public
man, who talked with the President
and others, today, predicted that pre-
lIminary agreement, which would prac-
tically settle the war, would be affected
within week. Senators and Represen-
tatives are becoming more numerous,
many returning here from their homes
on various political missions.

egg laying are allowed to run about freely
in a big, grassy yard. They are given
enough to eat to keep them in fair condi-
ton. and are expected to hustle for salads.
This they very much enjoy, as it gives
them a chance to dig their bills In the
ground for roots and worms
The expense of keeping these breeding
fowls is small. About December the ducks
begin TO lay eggs. The eggs are put in
the incubators, 300 to a machine and are
7fatched in twenty-one days. The duck
lngs are put at once into the "brooder,
where they live out their ten or twelve
weeks of life. By this patent process OIL
raising ducks the percentage of loss is con-
siderably less than when the farmers wife
persuades a good-natured hen to hatch out
a setting of duck eggs. The experts at that
farm never make the mistake of putting
an egg into the incubator unless IL is sure
to hatch They are all tested and must
not be over a week old. So altogether the
loss viii not reach % per cent. from all
causes. Baby ducks are fed every two or
three hours, and yet they are hungry all
the time They simply live to eat and
have no other ambition In life. The food
is made up of a variety of things, all in
tended to make white, juicy meat and
small soft bones The ideal hash for
ducks is made on basis of soup of boiled
bones. scraps. etc. With this soup cracked
oats, cornmeal seconds and various
cereals are mixed. Nearly all the food is
cooked. This material here in the city
costs little. If meal is damaged in boiling
or a lot of rolled oats gets wet, the dealers
are glad to sell il for small amount
South Water street furnishes cheaply all
the green stuff that ducks like so well. A
few parcels of wilted celery, cabbage a
little the worse for wear, and salad greens
of all sorts can be bought at low figures
by wholesale.
Ducks at Chatham Fields are expected
to be lazy. They are prohibited from
making century runs, and discouraged al
together from flying. What with eating
every two hours and never taking any ex
ercse, they grow wonderfully fast, and the
meat is light instead OF dark. The breast
bone of a young duck raised this way
can be cut with one swipe of a carving
knife, and nearly the whole duck can be
sliced into white pieces.
The cost of raising these ducks and put
ting them on the market varies greatly
with the season, but the average is about
% cents apiece.
