NO EXTRA SESSION.
President Mckinley and Many Promi-
nent Men Oppose 1t.

nent Men Oppose 1t.
Washington, Nov. 29.-President
Mckinley will try to avoid an extra
session. if that is possible. In this
effort he is likely to be seconded by a
large number of public men both
branches of congress and of both par
ties. Public policy will dictate the
desires of some and selfshness that oi
others. President Mckinley will make
every effort to have the peace treaty
laid before congress Immediately after
the holidays. He hopes to have it rat
flied before the adjournment in March.
Meanwhile, it is expected that bill
will pass for the reorganization of the
army, so that garrisons for the new
possessions will be provided for. Prob
ably will be passed providing for the
temporary government of the Philip
pines and Porto Rico. and possibly
Cuba, by the army officers command
ing in each, until congress can provide
otherwise. Then congress will provide
for commissions to visit the different
islands and make recommendations
for their government to the next con-
gress. That is the scheme which will
be followed If there is no extra session,
and if everything goes through as

Lord Salisbury's Pharaoh.

In these days, when the hand of the
anarchist assassin is lifted against sov-
ereigns and statesmen, says The Shelf
field (England) Telegraph, it is graft
flying to know that Lord Salisbury has
a powerful life guard ever at his side.
There is at Hatfield cherished breed
of faithful hounds of immense strength
and bulldog tenaoity. One of these is
the premier's close friend and accom-
panies him in his walks about Hatfield.
So faithful a guardian is he that Lord
Salisbury, with touch of his charac-
teristic playful irony, has called him
"Pharaoh h''-because he will not let
the people go.

ment. Spain rejects these principles.
the note continues, cas- she always has
rejected them"
of her cause, the note then says she
still adheres to these principles, (which
she has heretofore invariably formu-
lated"
However. the note adds, in her desire
for peace, she has gone so far as to pro-
pose certain compromises, which the
Americans have always rejected. She
has also attempted to arbitrate some of
the material particulars upon which the
two governments differed. These pro-
posals for arbitration, it is added, the
Americans had equally rejected. These
allegations in Spain's reply. as to at
tempted arbitration, refer to her pro-
posal to arbitrate the construction OF
the third Nticle of the protocol, and
also to submit the Spanish colonial debt
of Cuba and the Philippines to arbitra-
tion. The last proposition had been
made in a written communication.
Since it's presentation, and in return for
such arbitration, Spain offered to cede
the territory in dispute. The Ameri-
cans refused both propositions for arbi-
tration.
SPANS reply today in substance con-
tinued by declaring that the United
States has offered as kind of compen-
sation to Spain something very made
quate to the sacrifices the latter coun-
try makes at this moment, and she
feels that the United States proposals
could not be considered as equitable.
Spain has, however, exhausted all the
resources of diplomacy and an attemp pit
to justify her attitude. Seeing that
an acceptance of the proposal made to
Spain is a necessary condition to con-
tinuance of negotiations, and seeing
that the resources of Spain are not such
as to enable her to re-enter upon war,
she is prepared, in her desire to avoid
bloodshed. and from considerations of
humanity and patriotism, to submit to
the conditions of the conquering ma
tion, however harsh they may be. She
is therefore to accept the proposals of
the American commission, as presented
at the last sitting.
The reading and the translation of
the document occupied less than five
minutes. At the conclusion of the
translation the commissioners empow-
cred Senior Ojeda. secretary of the
Spanish commission, and Secretary
Moore, of the American commission,
to draw up articles which are to EN- body
the REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba by Spain
and the oession of Porto Rico and the
Philippines. These articles, which
may be considered as constituting the
conditions of peace, will be ready for
submission on Thursday.
The commissioners left the foreign
Office Immediately after the secretaries
had been directed to prepare the a1ti.
cles of the peace treaty.
There was scarcely any conversation
between the American and Spanish
commissioners after the adjournment.
Among the Americans only the most
grave consideration for their Spanish
colleagues was apparent.
Preparation of his biennial report to
the legislature has been completed by
the state land commissioner of Wash
ington.

they found the blizzard that ragged when
they retired was still in progress. The
storm, which began with soft, sleety
snow Saturday at noon, increased

gale at midnight. There was slight
abatement of the wind this morning,
but the snow still fell and drifted bad

idly.

blizzard would continue all day, but at
10 o'clock there was a breaking away
in the west, and finally the storm
ceased altogether. and the severest
blizzard since the memorable blizzard
of March, 1888, came to an end. The
wind blew at the rate of SO to 60 miles

storm.
A number of people are reported
