Vain HowIs of the Latins.

The demand of the American peace commissioners for the cession of the entire Philippine archipelago has stirred the press of Paris to raucous bowling over the great re public's 'sabuse of force" and "vio- lation Of the protocol" This was to be expected, also the French jour nals' affecting announcement that Spain will refuse the demand and sscall upon the civilized world" to witness her suffering and helpless condition, etc.
 Doubtless our commissioners will lose no part of their appetite or sleep by reason of these publiea- lions. They have obeyed instruc- tions and can afford to rest serene ly Upon the record. Nor will the administration at Washington be greatly disturbed by any Spanish commissioners threats to take their doll rags and go home. As the c SC stands, Spain is offered some com pensation for the Philippines, but merely as a matter of comity. Should she withdraw from the nego- tiations at Paris, the truce will be Ut an cad; Dewey and Otis will go
 
 ahead and establish American do minion in the islands, and Spain will get not . single centavo.
 The Dons are not noted for com mon sense, but they will scarcely be so silly as to throw away the hall loaf offered them and go hungry. Anu well do they know that appeals to Europe will be vain. No Olds World nation is going to risk an encounter with the United States for the sake of that decadent Ibe rian anacronism.
 Spain must take what we offer or lose all and get nothing. - Scimitar.

NIcARAGuA CANAL
 MORE COMPLICATED.
The Agreement Obtained by Two New Workers Good One. and VIII Have
 to Be Purchased by somo One.

Washington, Nov. 2.-There appears to have been good reason for the prompt action of the New York congress in rat flying the new agreement entered into between the president, Zelaya, with Messrs. Eyere and Cragin for the Mica. rauguan canal concession.
 Nicaragua will cease today to exist as republic and any future action respect ing foreign concession in connection with the canal will have to be taken by the Limited States of Central America" comprising what will hereafter be known as the states of Honduras, Sal vador and Nicaragua. Any further ne- gotiations by the United States govern ment in regard to the Nicaraguan canal will, therefore, have to be made with the new republic. The recent activity of Messrs Eyere and Cragin in securing the agreement with the president of Mic. aragua and the promtness displayed by the Nicaraguan congress in ratifying the agreement can therefore be well un- derstood.
 As understood here theee gentlemen have not actually obtaiRed the eonces- sion for building the canal--tbis is not admissible under the present. term of the contract with the Maritime Canal company-but an option, which gives them the Ii -ht to construct the canal when the contract now held by the Mar time Canal company lapses. But what ever may be the technical name for the agreement which has been recently en- tered into, there is little doubt that Messrs. Eyere and Cragin have obtained from the \ caraguan government an important and valuable privilege which will have to be considered when the time comes for the United States gov ernment to take hold Of the project.
 From the way the authorities talk 1t is evident ttat the new company inter- ested in the canal has simply come in to complicate the situation and m off. cials said he believed the only way to obtain the concession now was to try and buy out Eyere and Cragin

Wilmington, Nov 9 -Notwithstand. ing the more peaceful outlook that has prevailed for the past few days the feel ing of unrest begins to show itself again. There is disquieting rumor that the negroes are seriously considering the question of running county ticket re- gardless of the wishes of Governor Rus. sell. The unexpected arrival of Gov ernor Russell gives rise to the hope among conservative people that Russell has heard of the movement of tho ne- groes to place county ticket in the field and has come here to suppress it fl possible. There is little doubt that if a Republican ticket Is brought out for county officers the situation here will become more serious than ever.

BIDS FOR BATTLESHIPC.

Four Firms AK for Contracts on New
Vessels. Il
WAsHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Four firms
offered bids for the three new battle
ships authorized by the last congress.
The lowest bid Of each for any type of
one vessel follows: Newport News
Shipbuilding Company. Newport News,
Va, So, $50, 900; Cramps, Philadelphia,
81. $50, 900; Union Iron Works, San
Francisco, se,G74.0 900; Dialogue & Co.,
So, 100000. Many details of construc-
ton will figure in the awards The
result of the bidding for the construc-
ton of the three big battleships
authorized by congress is clninently
satisfactory to the navy department.
From the face of the bids it is clear
that the government is going to secure
very much more in the matter of power
and speed than was expected; that the
cost is going to be less than WAS paid
proportionately for the Illinois class,
and, finally, that the department will
be able to distribute the work among
the three big building concerns, q

rebounds to the advantage of the

A Long Address to the People Of the

CINCINNATI, Sept. The middle-of-
the.road popalists yesterday reorgan-
lied the peoples party, renewed it's
former declaration Of principles and
nominated its national ticket tive
years and two months in advance of
the date Of the election. The object
of this early action was to head off any
such fusion as that of 1896. While the
radicals controlled the convention,
they could not carry out their program
without bolt from northern dele
gates. The westernand southern del
egntes nominated Wharton BARKER
and Ignntius Donnelly, and declared
the principles of the programmed party.
The eastern states were not repre-
scented. 1t was the smallest national
convention on record and it adopted
the longest platform on record, one Of
over 1000 words While the peoples
party was heretofore divided in issue
of fusion, it has now been found that
even the anti-fusionists are badly
divided, and the fighting among the
middle-of-the-roader themselves has
just begun.

Gives Reasons Why There Was Delay in
Prosecuting the War In MAY.
3 NEW YORK. Sept. s.--General Miles
in an interview admitted to the Assoc
ciated Press the accuracy of the inter-
view heretofore attributed to HIM. In
q lengthy typewriter statement pre-
pared by him while on the way from
Porto Rico he puts forth his side of the
controversy between himself and the
war department. General Miles in the
statement gives the reasons why there
was delay in prosecuting the war in
May. He says his views were rejected
by the president and Secretary Alger
at the outset. They were finally
adopted in part, but too late to carry
out the original program. He says he
was sent to rescue General Shaftcr
when that commander was about to
quit; that he had full authority to act
at Santiago, and did so act until sur
render was agreed on; that he then
retired and magnanimously gave Gen
eral Shafter the benefit and honor of
surrender. The general says he
changed the Porto Rico plans because
they had been published and were an
ticipated by the Spaniards. He says
his campaign in Porto Rico was q
success,
