JOINT COMMISSION.
Americans and Canadians Working
Hard, but Saying Nothing.

QUEBEC, Aug. 29.-The Americans
Of the arbitration commission began
their labors at o'clock. this morning,
and, by themselves and in joint ses-
sion, have been at work all day. The
Joint session, which began at II o'clock,
lasted until nightfall.
AS usual, when the joint meeting
closed this evening, the commissioners
reported that they had gone through
a day of very hard work, and that
good progress had been made. Sena-
tor Fairbanks, for the Americans, and
Lord Herschell, for the Canadians,
have been selected to give out what
ever there may be for the press, but
so far there has been nothing which
the commission has considered wise to
reveal. Whenever Lord Herschell is
asked by the newspaper representa-
tives for crumb Of news he praises
the good nature and friendly attitude
of the Americans, and whenever Sena-
tor Fairbanks IS pressed for inforrna-
t1on he praises the friendliness and
hospitality Of the Canadians But
never one word esca pes either as to
doors. The secretaries and experts who
are connected with the commission are
equally close-mouthed One positive
statement was made, however, by Lord
Herschell tonight. He said that it
had been decided that after the recess
the conference would continue at Que
bee. There has been some talk about
transferring the conference to Wash
ington or Ottawa, but his lordship said
the work would go on here.
One thing Is certain, so far as the
commission Is concerned. They are do
Ing something. When the joint COM
mission meets they sit continuously
from II o'clock until late in the after
noon, and have their lunch served to

Ing all the sessions secretaries and
messengers are kept on the jump for
books and papers concerning the SUBJ

that books and documents relating to

Company That Fired Upon Ameri-

Boasts That Aguinaldo Compelled
Gen. Merritt to Release Them.

LONDON, Aug. pa dispatch from
Manila to a news agency, dated Aug.
20, via Hong Kong today, says:
The friction between the Americans
and natives requires exceptional ability
to avoid an alteration. I find that
many of the Americans of mediocre
education are utterly unacquainted
with Oriental IDEAS and unable to un-
derstand the primitive races. Most of
the Americans are deficient in pa
tience and numerous trif1ing misunder-
standings intensity the feeling. I be-
lieve the Americans intend to be harsh.
The American censor absolutely pro-
hibits the sending Of a single word of
the Cavite incident. A deputation
waited on Gen. Merritt to protest
against his action. The affair began
in a drunken American shooting, and
native sentries tried to arrest him. In
consequence OF the melee four natives
and one American were killed, and it
Is now generally misreported as being
a deliberate Inauguration Of host1lities.
Gen. Merritt returned their arms to
the company Of natives who fired upon
the Americans, presumably inadver-

Hungarian Historian Regards the
Czar as Dreamer.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-Dr. Emil Reich,
the eminent Hungarian historian and
British counsel in the Venezuelan arbi-
tration, in an interview on the subject
Of the czar's peace note, expressed the
belief that his majesty Is visionary.
He says:
1.-THE czar is visionary. He Is not in
robust health and has always to take
great care of his body. This scheme
for universal peace is one Of his
dreams. 1t is also feint. Count Mura-
vieff (the Russian minister for foreign
affairs) hopes thereby to get a free
hand in the development Of Russian
schemes in Manchuria
Suppose France disarmed. Her pop-
ulation is now 100000 against Ger
many's 100000. I'm ten years Ger
many would have largely added to her
lead in population, and France could
not display an army nearly as large
as her rivals.
Sweden and Norway and Italy
would like to disarm and might do so
with impunity; but for the rest of
Europe it IS impossible. Europe must
fight, lest the present political condi-
tions undergo an early change"

BERLIN, Aug. 29-The North Ger
man Gazette, referring to the czar's
peace conference proposals. remarks:
"Our armaments were never intend
ed for selfish ends, but only for our
own protection and for the mainte-
nance of peace. We are willing to
give a fair trial to another method
of attaining the object at smaller
COST
The National Zeitung says: 'The
car and his ministers have not de-
luded themselves with the idea that
they can rid the world Of the causes
which for years have been RESPONSE
BILE for the growing armaments. When
a great power, however, addresses such
proposals to others, they will be recog-
nized everywhere as deserving Of the
most serious consideration
The Vossische Zeitung expresses the
opinion that the Importance Of the
note does not lie in the proposal for
a conference, but in it's conception.
The Post warmly eulogiZes the czar's
motives, which, 1t adds, must every
where arouse sympathy"
The Kreuz Zeitung says: mo one
can yet appreciate the real Significance
of the note. TITS bitter-sweet reception
in France shows it will not meet with
universal approval"
According to the Hamburger Corre-
spondenz, the note will remain forever
an imperishable monument to the fame
Of Emperor Nicholas. Continuing, the
paper says: 'It stands to reason that
Germany welcomes the proposal in the
most welcome manner. and is prepared
to cooperate in the sacred work.

FRANCE IS SUSPICIOUS

PROPOSAL IS GENUINE
Paris Would Demand the Cession

Seems Willing to Cooperate
With Russia.

PARIS, Aug. 29.-The French news
papers generally distrust the practical
bility of the czar's peace scheme and
clearly indicate that France would
make the cession of Alsace- Lorraine
prerequisite to being a party IN the
conference. The Temps says:
ut Is to be hoped that Europe, like
France, will consider the cars pro-
posal in spirit similar to that where
in it was issued. Nevertheless it must
be recognized that France owes it to
herself to aid in such an aim, yet
there is that in her patrimony which
the very reason for her very existence.
France cannot forget the eloquent
words Of the czar on the rights of peo-
pie and justice. Count Murravieff's
circular seems a retoinder to Mr..
Goschen's speech, whether or not it was
so intended. Ther efora it lacks neither
wit nor appropriateness. However, 1t
would be sing-ularly belittIing the in
spiration and meaning Of the proposal
to see nothing else in 1t, or even to
connect 1t with a wish to hamper from
the outset the conclusion of an al
lance between the United States and
Great Britain. What win the Germany

DEWEY COMING HOME.
Admiral Wanted at Washfngton to
Advise the President.

MANILA, Aug. 29.-Admiral Dewey
Is quoted as saying he has been ad-
vised by the navy department at
Washington to hold himself in readi-
ness to return home by the quickest
route, for the purpose of comforting
with President Mckinley on the Phil
ippine question.
Admiral Dewey cabled in reply, Civ
ing the fullest possible information,
and also giving his views on the sub
ject. He suggested to Secretary Long
that the Importance of the situation
required him to remain here, where
there is much work yet to do. He
thinks that his squadron should be
augmented in strength, and he, there
fore, requested Secretary Long to dis
patch battleship and an armored
cruiser to Manila.
When asked to express his personal
opinion on the question Of the Ameri-
cans retaining the Philippines, Admi-
raj Dewey looked at the Stars and
Stripes flying on the Luneta, the fash
ionable promenade Of the Philippine
capital, and said:
II hope 1t will fly there forever"
Concerning the. work of the navy at
Manila, the admiral said:
II am proud, naturally, of the
achievement We have taken an en-
pire without the loss Of a man, but I
am proudest of my men. No finer
squadron ever assembled, so far as
personnel is concerned"

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2a.-The
newspapers here declare that the czar's

turning point in history. The Noyosti

the several pretensions of the nations
and propose means for a peaceful ar

The Novoe Vremya- says: "All true
friends Of peace are naturally on the

guarantee that some of the Western
cabinets will not raise objections
prompted by the fact that the armed
peace which has existed since 1871 ia

The Viedomosti expresses the opinion
that the note Of the czareis essentially
an attempt to introduce the element
OF trust into international relations"
adding: whoever believes in the Gre
atlve power of ideas propounded with
conviction and clearness must rejoice
that the note brings new and be-
nehcent course into the worlds life, and
groups anew the participants in that
life.'

but so far nothing has been heard by

believed here that the victory achieved
by the United States in the late war

that that victory made it clear at once

maintain the balance of power they
would be obliged to redouble- their ex-
penditures on account of army and
navy, or they might be outstrlpped by
the United States. The official mind here
