WATERVILLE.
THE FOUR HUNDRED
Played Whist at a Brilliant Affair for the Bene
fit Of the Public Library.

City hall was filled, last evening, when
a whist party was given for the benefit
of the public library. Socially it was one
of the most brilliant affairs of the season.
Accommodations had been made for 400
people and when the first cut was made
at o'clock there was hardly a vacant
table in the hall. The head table was To-
Gated in the upper right hand corner of
the hall, and this was the goal toward
which all were working. While the floor
of the hall was nearly filled, this did not
represent the whole of the number pres
ent, as great many who did not care to
play whist occupied seats in the gallery.
The playing began at o'clock and con-
tinued until 10, when the stage curtain
was raised and luncheon of ices, cake
and coffee was served while the guests
seated at the tables. Those who
assisted in serving were: Misses Maud
Gallert, Alice Bassett, Margaret Percival,
Mabel Dunn, Mary Redington, Mary Can
non, Daisy Plaisted, Mrs. Wyman Mrs.
Drummond, Miss Emma Knauff. Mrs.
Harry Prince, Mr.. Charles Davis and
Miss Myra Redington.
The affair was arranged by one of the
trustees, who was assisted by the

on these articles.
Mr.. Moore will also submit, tomor-
row. to the United States commission
ers the subject to be presented to the
Spaniards for negotiations. These, for
convenience and greatest dispatch are
being drafted into the form of articles.
The release of the insurgent prisoners
held by Spain will go into the protocol
agreements, it having been already
agreed that Spain is to release them
upon the United States undertaking to
secure the release of Spanish prisoners
in the hands of Aguinaldo. This ques-
tionis so intimately related to the peace
treaty that it has been removed from
the subjects that are matters of nego-
tiation and has been embodied in the
articles containing the protocol agree
ments.
There have also been embodied in
tentative articles, for discussion, on
Wednesday, the subjects of the reaig-
Gus freedom of the Caroline islands,
naval station for the United States in
the same group. cable landing rights at
other points within Spain's jurisdiction.
the release of the insurrectionist pris-
oners and the revival of the treaties
broken by the war. Thus the COM
mercial and general treaty of 1895 will
be revived, to be recast later; the trea-
ty Of 1894 for the settlement of certain
claims, will be revived; the treaty of
1877, providing for extradition, VIII be
revived the trade mark treaty of 1882
will be revived: and the supplemental
treaty of 1888 will be revived; in addi-
ton to several modus viyendi agree
mentS.
On all the points outside of the proto-
col there will be friendly negotiations
only. Spain having the right to name
the prices she wants for her territory
and to reject or accept American offers.
The Spaniards no less than the Ameri-
cans are now anxious to conclude the
business which brought them here.
