Lord Mayor. Horatio David Davies. The
clerk then read a document setting
forth that citizens, one described as
butcher. one as a barber and one as
stationer, had declared the general to
be a fit and proper person.
In presenting the sword of honor the
Lord Mayor read an address in which
he said this honor was only reserved for
England's greatest sons.
General Kitchener, in replying, ex-
pressed his deep and heartfelt thanks
and said the success of the campaign
was due not only to the oneness of pur-
pose and cheerful spirit Of determine
ton, but to the master mind of Lord
Crorner british agent in Egypt, I'M
der whose able direction. the Sirdar as
serted, the Soudan had been recon-
quered.

DUPUY IN FAVOR OF THE RE-
CALL OF MARCHAND.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Nov. A semi official note
issued this evening says the Govern
nlent has resolved not to retain the
Marchand mission at Fashoda, adding
that this decision was arrived at by
the Cabinet after an exhaustive ex-
animation of the question. The Gov
eminent, replying to an Interpolation
to be asked in the Chamber of Depu-
ties, will avail itself of the opportunity
to explain the motive for this resolu-
ton.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-The most reliable
information from Paris confirms the
earlier reports that NJ. Dupuy, the
Premier, has decided to wash his hands
of Fashoda and to recall Major Mar
chand, for whose mission he is not re-
sponsible.
This decision is, to some extent, due
to a desire to allow nothing to interfere
with the success of the exposition of
1900.

OUR PROPOSITION REFUSED
SPANIARDs OBJECT TO DEMAND
FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Paris Papers Continue to Argue the
Cause of the Dons and Liken
Uncle Sam to High
wayman.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Nov. 4.-The Joint session of
the Peace Commissions lasted two
hours. The .Spaniards refused the prop
osition made by the Americans on Mon
day last, but the negotiations were not
broken off. While it is believed that
no formal counter proposition was
made there was discussion of the
Philippine question outside the lines of
the Americans. The commissions then
adjourned until Tuesday next.
A statement is printed here to-day
with much prominence that at to-day
joint session of the Peace Commissions
the Americans insisted upon complete
surrender of SPANS sovereignty over
the Philippine Islands, and that, in the
event Of the Spanish Commissioners re-
fusing to agree to this, Judge Day,
president of the American Commission,
acting under instructions from Wash
ington, declared he would present an
ultimatum to the Spaniards. 1t is fur
Their alleged that this seeming haste is
due. to the desire to settle the negotia-
lions before the elections in the United
States take place.
Reference is made to these a1lega-
lions in view of The fact that they may
have also been circulated in the United
States, but there is no truth in the
statements made. No ultimatum is
contemplated and there is no probable
ity Of drastic measures being taken by
the Americans. The two commissions
are now considering an open question,
and the Americans expect to carefully
weigh all the points involved and to
carefully consider the arguments of the
Spaniards.
The two commissions met at o'clock
J. !, L.. 81
aware before the session opened that
the Spaniards would decline their pro-
posals made on Monday last.
The Gaulois to-day says it has been
on absolutely reliable author
ity, that Spain will refuse to discuss
the unconditional surrender of the
Philippine Islands. Spain, it is further
tons concerning the retention of the
Philippine Islands, and the Spanish
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke AL
modovar de Rio, had himself, at the
time of the signing of the peace proto-
col, stipulated that the island of Luzon
alone should remain occupied by the
American troops while the peace nego-
tiations were in progress, and that
Spain should resume sovereignty over
the archipelago as soon as more lib
eral form Of government for the ISL
ands should have been decided upon.
Inc Fronde says: The claims of
he United States on the Philippine ISL
lnds are looked upon with disfavor at
St. Petersburg. The powers might, in
case of America proving too obstinate
IN this point, be provoked to protest.
The Evenment says: Your money
Or your life is the attitude taken by
America in relation to Spain. The lat |
er, having no money, offers Porto Rico |
and the abandonment of Cuba, and |
kinks she has thus discharged her ran
som. Pardon me- answers Jonathan, |
you yet have the Philippine Islands, |
which are only an encumbrance to |
,ou. I will relieve you of them Why? |
Because, with Fontaine, I have the |
strongest reasons for so DOING

PREMIER DUPUY READS
MINISTERIAL DECLARATION

PARIS, Nov. 4.-The Chamber of
Deputies reopened to-day with a crowd
ed assembly, after its adjournment on
October %, the day after the fall OF
the Cabinet presided over by M. Bris-
son. Amid great animation the new
Premier, NJ. Dupuy, read the minis
teriaI declaration. He began by declar
ing that the Cabinet fully recognized
the difficulties and responsibilities OF
the task undertaken, affirmed the SUI
premacy of civil power as the funda-
mental principle of a republican state
and expressed confidence in the army,
which, he added, would faithfully re-
spect the laws Of the republic.
Continuing, M. Dupuy said: Il do
not leave the national army butt to
the campaign of insult waged against
it if we place it above the blind po-
lemics which futilely seek to throw un-
just responsibilities upon it. The army
is still more entitled to the solicitude
and protection Of the public powers,
since it can only work usefully for the
security of the country in quietude and
silence. It is equally necessary that
calmneSS attend the work of justice,
and respect of our duty is to insure
the execution of its decisions, what
ever they may be-
The Minister of Finance, M. Peytrai,
introduced the budget, and M. del
Case, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
to demands for the discussion
of the Fashoda question, said he was
unable to fix a date for it, in view Of
the interests he had to safeguard, but,
he added, he hoped to arrange an early
date for its discussion.
The Minister of Justice, NJ. LIE Bret,
replying to a motion providing that all
revision cases be submitted to the whole
Court Of Cessation instead of to parti-
cular departments, said it was impos-
sible to alter the procedure already
started in the Dreyfus case.

GREAT OVATION TO
GENERAL KITCHENER

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The streets of the
city were crowded all morning, an i'm
mense number of people seeking to wit
ness General Kitchener's triumphal
progress to the Guildhall to receive
the freedom of the city of London and
the sword of honor presented to him in
recognition of his defeat of the Der
wishes at Omdurman. The general re-
ceived a great ovation as, accompanied
by three aides-de-camp and dressed in
full generals uniform, with the Egypt
ian sash, he drove through the streets.
At the Guildhall there was the
quaintest kind of a ceremony, which
was witnessed by some $500 spectators,
chiefly city dignitaries and their fami-
lies, though Lord Rosebery and Lord
HaIsbury, the Lord Chancellor, and a
few other notabilities were present.
There was a scene of great enthusi-
asm when General Kitchener took his
place on the dais by the side of the

CARPENTER WILL CASE
IS FINALLY SETTLED
On the Fourth Trial q Verdict Is
Found for the Bailey Chill
dreD

STOCKTON, Nov. 4-On the fourth
trial of the famous Carpenter will case
here the jury to-day brought in verdict
for the proponents of the will. On the
first two trials yerdicts were given for
the contestants and the third was a mis-
trial. Twice the Supreme Court sent the
case back, for a new trial. The estate was
worth about $4,000 when the contest was
commenced fourteen years ago. Judge
Van r. Paterson of San Francisco was
then Superior Judge here and presided on
the first trial, appointing J. A. Louttit at
torney for the minor heirs, and he has
finally won the verdict sustaining the will.
c. w. Carpenter was the partner of c.
K. Bailey in ranching in this county
many years age and, being bachelor,
on his death willed his proerty to Bailey's
Vermont relatives of Carpenter,
whom he had not seen for a quarter of a
century, contested the will on the ground
of undue influence and the surviving part
ner as executor has persistently fought
the case m all the courts until now. The
litigation will probably end with the YER
dict given, as the estate is about eaten up
In costs Of the long legal fight.

SPAIN NEVER INTENDED
TO GIVE UP PHILIPPINES

MADRID, Nov 4.-The Impartial to-
day commenting upon the peace ne
gotiations now in progress in Paris,
says: IF the United States had shown
in the protocol the intention to keep the
Philippine Islands the matter would
not have taken the course it did. Spain
never considered the Philippines as
lost, nor has she desired their loss On
the contrary. her intentions were shown
by her facing the anger of Ger
many on the question of the Caroline
Islands"
In conclusion the Impartial remarks:
America, by her conduct, has lost her
place among civilized peoples, and
henceforth will only count as the most
numerous and opulent of hordes''

H0BS0N STILL WANTS
THOSE SPANISH HULKS
Argues With the Bureau Chiefs to
Allow Him to Continue Work
on the Wrecks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Constructor
Hobson was before the Naval Bureau
chiefs again to-day, and spent two hours
in argument to convince the board of
the advisability of allowing him to con-
tinue the work of wrecking the Spanish
warships sunk off Santiago. Secretary
Long had concluded that further. prosecu-
ton of the work would better cease,
at least so far as 1t is conducted at Gov
eminent, expense. However, he consented
to allow Mr.. Hobson an opportunity to in
duce the Board of Bureau Chiefs to re-
consider their original determination.
The constructor was reinforced in his
opinion that the Colon and perhaps one
or two other ships might be saved by Mr..
Merritt, of the wrecking firm of Merritt
& Chapman, although his opinion is in
turn contrary to that of the wreck mas
ters on the spot at Santiago. Mr.. Merritt
was not present at this afternoons meet
ing, so the board contented itself with the
recommendation to Assistant Secretary
Allen, who has the matter in charge, that
the Merritt company be allowed to con-
tinue its work on the Colon under an
agreement to pay salvage only in case
the vessel is raised. and meanwhile to dis
continue the heavy per diem payments
the company is now receiving.

Shotguns.

TULARE, Nov. yesterday, while
George Blakely and Robert Smith were
hunting doves near Chism's ranch five
miles southwest of Tulare, large, vicious
wildcat made it's appearance but a few
steps from the hunters. The guns were
both loaded with small bird shot, and both
boys opened fire upon the cat. This only
served to infuriate the brute, and he came
direct for them. AS firing small shot at a
wildcat was of no avail clubs were re-
sorted to and a pretty battle took place
The cat made a desperate fight, but
against too great odds, and the life was
soon batted out of the savage feline. Aside
from few scratches the young men were
comparatively unframed. The cat meas
ured three feet from head to tail and was
two feet high. Very few specimens of the

cry in the Chinese Army.
PEKING, Nov. An spite of the formal
promises of the Chinese Foreign Office,
there is every indication Of a concerted
movement of Chinese troops in the neigh
borhood of the capital. 1t is said that
Khang Nyi, the Manchu officer, who was
next In rank to the late Prince Kung in
the Kioun XII Tschu, or Council of State.

Dowager Empress. He is bitterly anti

1t is reported that Yuan Sink Hal. the
Chinese general in command of the for
