PEACE CONF FER[NCE.
Reception Of the Delegates
in Paris Hostility
to America.
fBy Cable to The Associated Press. ]

PARIS. Sept. q. 1898. While the recep-
tion accorded the United States Peace
Commission here is all that could be de-
sired, and while the French Foreign Of
flee has taken great pains to treat the
American and Spanish Commissioners in
precisely the same manner. it must be adj
mitted that the general atmosphere of
Paris, especially the diplomatic atmos-
phere does not incline towards America.
Il is the general impression here that
the American Commissioners have in
struetions to provide for the retention of
Manila and the Island of Luzon, and for
a Commission to pretend to negotiate is
a faree;y said prominent diplomat He
continued
America will put herself, diplomatical-
IL, in the wrong when she exceeds the
provisions of the protocol, which both ma
tions signed know the Spaniards have
come prepared to make concessions. but
if the Americans instructions are Of an
uncompromissng nature, which is gener-
ally believed here to be the case, you
can rest assured that the, work of the
Commission will be futile. The Spaniards
will retire and America will at least nave
to threaten a resumption of hostillties
before she will gain her point.
The Frencn newspapers 1bSSoltp e,ii-
nouncing the arrival of the Commissions
make no comment upon the matter
The American Peace Commission, tor
the first time since its appointment, mes
as a body today, for two hours, IN the
drawing room Of the Continental Hotel.
Mr.. Frederick w. Peck, the unitel
States Commissioner to the Paris EXPOSE
tfon of 1900. is about to vacate his quarters
in the same hotel. They were formerly
occupied by the ex-Empress Eugene, and
have been used by Mr. Peck as offices un-
til his permanent offices, on the EXPOSE
ton grounds, were in readiness.
The suite of rooms which the former
Empress at one time used viii pro "a piy
be acquired by the American Peace Conn
missioners. They will he used TOR ex-
ecutive sessions and official headquarters.
AS the Joint Commission is not dellp-
erative body it will possibly, not organ
ize with a presiding member from either
Commission This is deemed in some
quarters to be the wiser plan, as tendlng
to promote closer working relations pc
tween the two Commissions and facilltat-
ing an ultimate adjustment. This, how
ever, isanot positive
Judge Day and Mr.. Whftelaw Reid are
ouartered at a hotel overlooking the
Tuileries Gardens and the other Commits
sioners are equally comfortable.
The Americans enjoyed sunny weather
during their first day in Paris and they
are all in good health and spirits.
The French Government is arranging
to provide at the salon where the joint
sessions of the Commissions will be held,
an elaborate buffet daily, for the use OF
all the Commissioners.

perfect annexation. 1t Is a fact that
