Adjustment.
PARIS, Nov. 16.-In replying to the
demands Of the Americans, the Spanish
commissioners signified their willing
ness to submit the matter Of the con-
troll of the Philippines TO arbitration.
Spain denies the American contention
The memorandum points out that a
deadlock exists, which might be bro
ken by arbitration on the continent,
tc which views the Spanish commits
sioners are quite ready TO submit The
latter declare that they have no idea
of suggesting arbitration as to the
main issue. which touches the national
honor Of both sides, but they are will

1t is safe to say that the American
commissioners viii not consent to in

Another part of today's Spanish
memorandum fatty asserts, upon the
authority OF NJ. Cambon's reports Of
the protocol negotiations between
Washington and Madrid, through him.
that President Mckinley at no time
objected 10 Spain's reservation OF her
sovereignty IN the Philippines. The
American commissioners hold that the
protocol itself was born Of Spain's at
tempt to restore her Philippine SOW
ereignty though the Spanish mem
orandum OF today squarely challenges
that contention.
The Spanish memorandum also asks
Why, If the United States objected to
SPain's reservation Of soveIeignty, they
did not plainly say so in the protocol,
and not leave It open.
This port on Of the Spanish memoran-
dunn is based upon letters written by
Nj. Camhon at the time, purporting to
describe interviews and transactions

Kansas parties have manufact-
ured a model for a weed-killer to
be attached beneath locomotive,
underneath the pilot. When at
tached to the engine it breaks off
the weeds between and on both
sides of the track about two inches
lower than the rails. The machine
is arranged SO that it can be made
to work or not at the will of the
engineer, and when an article is
in the way it will run over it with
out injury. 1t is the intention Of
the inventors to have these ma
chimes attached to the regular
trains, and thus keep the weeds
down without the assistance OF the
section men.

When Topeka was reached the

The Register says that Lemon

blossoms off the alfalfa grangers at
Lamar during their recent visit.
but the grangers turned themselves
loose and picked more flies off the
attaches OF the circus than could
gather around the bunghole of a
molasses barrel on summer day.
The chief attraction OF the side
show was two "shell games, and
the crowd of suckers who had been
practicing to do the show, were
being fleeced in great shape. The
police interfered and there was
regular rough and tumble scrap
between the citizens and showmen,
in which tent poles and pins, clubs
and revolvers were quite freely
used, and many were the bruised
heads received. Seven of the cir
Gus men were taken before JUS
tice Of the peace and plead guilty
to charge of assault. The Judge
picked the alfalfa blossoms off Of
them in the sum of $Io2 and let
them go with the admonition that
Lamar is hot thing and should
be handled with care.

Dresden China.

What is Dresden china? The ques-
tion had to lie decided by law court in
London not long ago, and ii vas held
that it was china made ct the royal
china factory started by the king of
Saxony atMeissen, near Dresden. China
of the same sort, even though made
in German $50 miles Of. will not do
at all. The counsel for the defendant,
who was charged with selling wares IN
der false pretenses, actually but vainly
urged that Brussels carpets are not al
ways made in Brussels, Stilton cheese
at S;iltcn, Bologna sausage a: Bologna,
nor Venetian glass in Venice. But the
court held that the saactity of the Dres-
den name must be na;a1 aimed, and
henceforth purchasers of Dresden In
England may buy without tremor.
