Paris. Nov. /. - While the Spanish
and American peace commissioners
now stand upon the Threshold of the
Philippine question, 1t seems probable,
IN the light of this hour, that the Unit
ed States will take over the entire
awhipelagO This view Is the focus
noint of the best unofficial opinion Of
the trend of events. During the four
DAYS lust passed those in touch with.
though possibly not in the confidence
of, the commissioners, have felt the
concentration of tendencies to be occu-
MED by the United States commissions
ers at to-day's session of the two COM
MISSIONS In 1897 Spain issued by
royal decree bonds in the sum of S4O.-
100000 to which were pledged the rev.
enues of the Philippines, and to which
the Spanish
National Guarantee
was added. From these $40,O00,O00 in
obligations Spain realized $36,000000
in cash. These forty millions repre-
sent the Philippine debt. Should the
United States absorb the Philippines,
none but officials yet know whether
they would assume a part or all of this
debt or more than the Philippine debt.
The Americans have declined to as
sumo any of the Cuban debt because
Cuba is not theirs. but in deposing
Spain in the Philippines the Americans
acquire the territory and it is believed
there will be some financial assumD-
ton by the United States. At this
point rises the question of how much
financial relief might compose Spain
to her loss of the Philippines. Some
well-infOrmed persons believe that
Premier Sagasta has determined to be
rid of the Philippines and would direct
his commission to
Sign Treaty
by which the United States should
take the islands and assume the S40.-
100000 of debt. Spaniards now in
Paris declare that the Philippines are
a drag and assert that Spain would
lift a cry of joy to be relieved of them
if the terrific debt pressure should be
thus lessened On the other hand
Spaniards at home are clamOring that
their commission should bolt the con-
ference. and, returning, thus fulfill the
highest duty. There are Spaniards III
Paris who insist that, should the Unit
ed States take the Philippines without
a large money consideration, SPANS
commission should return and the ma
ton bidding its soldiers in Cuba and
elsewhere again take up arms, achieve
thus a glorious martyrdOm to natlonal
honor. In these contending currents
the Spanish commissioners are await
ing the American declaration to-day,
and they declare they cannot sign a
treaty of peace involving the loss OF
the Philippines to Spain.
Anxiety at Madrid.
London, Nov. 1.-The Madrid CORE
SpOndent of the Standard says there is
much anxiety in Madrid as to the re-
suit of to-day's joint sitting of the
peace commission. Inasmuch as Spain
accepted the Cuban articles of the pro-
tocol only on condition of a subsequent
agreement being arrived at on the
Philippine question she will strenuous

diplomatic agency al Cairo confirming
the reported arrival of Maj. Marchand
at Khartoum.
Cairo, Oct. 3O.-Maj Marchand left
Fashoda on Sunday and arrived at
Khartoum yesterday afternoon. He
will start for Cairo to-day. AS the
other Frenchmen remain at Fashoda
Maj. Marchands departure from there
is not regarded as a settlement of the
question as to possession of that place,
which is in dispute between Great
Britain and France.
London, Oct 3O-The morning news
paper editorials regard Maj. March
and's movements from Fashoda to
KhartCum as Indicative Of a yielding
on the specific question in controversy,
although the position is unofiicially I'M
altered. 1t is assumed he will push on
to Cairo in order to be in direct cora
munication with the French govern
ment, and that on reaching there he
will represent to Paris the impossible
ty Of remaining at Fashoda under eX-
listing conditions. and will ask for au-
thority to withdraw his entire force.
London. Oct. 3O.-The Pail Mall Ga
Zette summarizes the result of the
meeting of the British cabinet as fol
lows:
First-Marchand must be withdrawn
Internationally and no undertaking or
promise can be given to discuss the
questions raised by France in regard to
access to the Nile ard such like.
Second - When Marchand is with
drawn it will be determined whether
the question raised admits Of discus
sion and under what conditions the
discussion can be proceeded with.
Third-Every possible facility will
be aorded to assist Marchand's with
drawal by whichever route selected.
Fourth = If Marchand is not with
drawn there will be no interference
with his remaining at Fashoda nor
date fixed for his withdrawal. Neces-
sarily reinfOrcements will not be per-
mitted to reach him. He will be
treated courteously as a foreign Wis
itor and will be regarded in no other
light.
tifth-Therefore it is left to France
to adopt any active measures to pre-
cipitate a conflict.
The Gazette adds that it has good
reason to believe that while Russia
has counseled France to tide over the
difficulty and avoid war, she has prom
ised to throw her weight in the scale
at no distant date for the purpose OF
bringing the whole Egyptian question
and the British occupation of Egypt
to the front for settlement.
I.eaVo The Question Open.
London. Oct 30.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Times says: If France
directs Maj Marchand to retire from
Fashoda she will refuse to enter any
Interior negotiations. preferring to
leave the question quite open and
awaiting a more favorable opportunity
to reopen it.

DODGE ON KAAULU| wharf
SURVEYOR OFFICIALLY REPORTS
TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Says New Wharf Does Not Cut Off Ac-
cess to Deep Water-Republic
Should Own All Wharves.

The report of Surveyor Frank ).
Dodge on wharf conditions at Ma
hului will be used in the hearing OF
the present controversy between the
government and the Hawaiian Com
mercial and Sugar Company, when it
comes before the court. Mr.. Dodge
visited the scene of the trouble about
a month ago for the government, with
instructions to investigate thorough
ly and report. He has filed his state
ment of the case with the Minister of
Foreign Aaffirs. Among other things
he says:
"In regard to the claim of the Will
der Steamship Company that the new
pier is to cross the channel or water
way and cut off 'all access to deep wa
ter and to vessels moored therein |
think it is based on incorrect infor-
nation. | interviewed Manager Boote
of the Hawaiian Commercial Compa-
nv and Wander Naillen. engineer
i'm charge, and both gentlemen posi-
lively disclaim any intention of eX-
tending the pier more than $50 feet
from the shore line. Their plan and
letter of instructions, which were
shown me at the company's Office all
tend to confirm their statements. The
instructions of Wander Naillen are
to build out to a depth of about five
feet of water, or sufficient for lighter
age purposes, without any mention of
going across the channel to deep wa
| ter.
80 far no serious damage has been
| done to the harbor. according to the
evidence of Collector Bailey and Pilot
| English. but the work does interfere
| slightly with the mooring of the Will
der Company lighters, as now prac-
ticed, for the said moorings occupy
practically the whole of the inner
harbor.
AS to the right of the Maui Rail
road and Steamship Company to build
any wharf in Kahului harbor, that is
another and more important question.
Manager Boote and Engineer Wander
Naillen could give me no definite in
formation as to any permit to build
a pier or wharf of any kind, but they
referred me to Alfred S. Hart
well, the legal representative of the
Maui Railroad and Steamship Com
pany.
"My own opinion is that all wharf
construction should be suspended un
til the rights of the government IN
Kahului harbor are determined. The
government should have the control
of the harbor and channel thereto
and all wharves built therein. The
control of said harbor. buoys, moor
ings, etc. should be in the govern
ment, and exercised through a regu
: larly commissioned harbor master
The demands of the port demand
such control.
eff the new pier is completed OF
: the present plan. or if any other pie,
is built between it and the presen
wharf of the Wilder Steamship Com
pany, there will be room for the OPP
Grafton of scows according to pres
ept methods, and there need be no Sc
rious interference, if it is done ur
der the supervision of the harbor mas
I'ter."

sensible man knows it, and it is coward

and Sarp county the last two weeks, we
found numerous people who favor such

blue men who think more Of principle
than party name, but while they are
willing to sacrifice party name,
they also insist on like sac

Nebraska now, Or at any future time,
under the Democratic banner, but they
are willing to meet Democrats, silver

the committees meet next week will be

When government issues bond for

1t attaches to that bond $1,400 in cou-

$2,5OO because the government debt in
cludes the body of the bonds with thd

st. Paul Dispatch.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock Hilda
Last, six-year-old child, died of starva-
ton in an old one-room shack near Gates
street and Oakdale avenue on the West
side.
The case is one of the most heartrending
which has ever come to the notice OF the
st. Paul authorities. The little girl was
the second child of Mr.. and Mrs John
Last, Germans, who are not up to the Or
binary in education or intelligence.
They are poor people, yet no one in the
neighborhood had the slightest suspicion
that they were starving, and they, either
through pride or ignorance, neglected to
make their condition known.
1t was known to the neighbors that the
little girl was sick, but no one thought
that she was in danger of death.
Yesterday morning DR.. ArtZ was called
in After examining the little sufferer he
saw that the child was Starving to death.
She was wasted almost to skin and bones,
and presented an appearance which would
turn the charitable, for the time at least,
away from the contemplation of suffering
IN Cuba to tie conditions prevailing III the
hovel on the West side.
DR.. Artz questioned the mother and
learned that for over a week the sick child
had had no nourishment but black coffee,
and that the family had nothing to eat for
several days. There are three other chill
dren besides Hilda, and all are in fearful
condition.
And we are in the midst of costly
war inaugurated as we solemnly believe
to save a political party from destruc-
ton.
When will the people get their eyes
open?

nberation OF Cuba and demand that bloody
and brutal Spain be driven completely and
forever from the American continent We
will stand by the soldiers and sailors to
the last gasp; but we are not willing that,
under cover Of their banners, the bonded
debt Of this country should be vastly in
creased at the expense of the business and
industry OF this country. We do not be-
lieve In enslaving Americans to liberate

BANKS, so that the people will be no longer
swindled by financial adventures, but will
have safe repositories for their surplus
earnings.
Whereas, The constitution of the state of
Minnesota provides that a reasonable
amount OF personal property should be ex-
empt from taxation; and,
Whereas, We are Of opinion that those
who live in the state and raise the crops or
do the work in shop mine, and who are
ready to defend the commonwealth with
their lives, have done and will do their
part; therefore.
Resolved, That we ask that the constitu-
tion of the state be SO amended as to ex-
empt reasonable amount of real property
used as homes, owned and occupied by
citizens of the state shall be exempt from
taxation
Eighth-We hold out the hand of
greeting and love to the gallant Pop
ulists Of the South, who are, like
ourselves, waging terrible war for
the life of their party against the
aggressions of the fusionists, who would
sell the birthright Of mankind for a mess
of official pottage.
In defense of these principles we pledge
ourselves to make this fall the most tre-
mendous campaign ever seen in this state
We will go right to the people and pass
by the politicians. We will begin at the
bottom and build up to the top with clean
material, and discard from the structure
every rotten fragment and make this in
deed the Peoples party, for the protec-
tlOn and glory Of the American people.
Instead of nasty little tricks and combines,
we shall do as we did in 1892, when, with
out an office-seeker in our ranks and with
nothing to start from, we rolled up over
one million votes in four months and cap
tured Il ELECTORAL votes. In the next two
years we had nearly doubled that vote, and
were advancing by prodigious leaps to cer-
tain triumph, when the dreadful blight of
accursed fusion fell upon u.s. But we re-
fuse to get into the grave where the green
back party les fused to death by traitors.
