French Comment

PARIS, Nov. 9-The Gaulois today says
''It is certain that the Spanish peace com
mission will maintain at today's conference
the contention that all the clauses of the
protocol must be faithfully observed by the
Americans as they have been by the Spanish
regarding Cuba and Porto Rico. The Span
ish commission holds that no division on the
Philippines can be tolerated, and that the
sovereignty of Spain over those islands will
be maintained The rumors relative to
compensation are only simple hypothesis at
present The attitude of Spain in the mat
ter is quite simple. Namely, before ad-
mitting the possibility OF any agreement in
regard to the archipelago, she exacts that
the United States recognize that her rights
i'll the Philippines are unassaiable.'

river and Annapolis harbor. On this newly
made ground the new cadet quarters, rec
itation halls, armory and gymnasium will
stand. There will be a big basin opening
into the Severn to provide for the practice

cutters used by the cadets. There will be
an adequate boat house.
Old Fort Severn, now used as a gymna-
SUM, will be lett as a monument Of the
past, it being place OF great historical in
terest. The plans provide for retaining all
the natural beauty of the place. Lovers
lane will be undisturbed, as will the resi-
dences of the officers and the parade ground
A modern battery OF heavy guns is to be put
on the sea wall for practice purposes. A
great ampitheater is projected. 1t will be
semi-circular in shape, with band stand
in the center. There will be room enough
in it for football games. The new buildings
are to be of the French Renaissance style of
architecture. Every building will be fire.

Divide anything up into pairs and you
magnify it. A certain wise man took this
way to give his wife an idea of how much
$1,000 is. She had no idea of money. Her
purchases were enormous. 1t happened
one day that her eve fell upon magnificent
ring, and she coveted it. 1t cost $1,000
But what was $1,000 to her in comparison
with the ring? OF course her husband con-
sented to the purchase. What else could
a dutiful, affectonate husband do? But he
tried the method of educating his wife con-
cernng the great price of the ring. He in
structed his banker to send her the $1,000 in
small pieces-pennies, dimes and quarters.
In came the money, bagful after bagful
She never had such an idea of $1,000 before
When the money was piled before her it
alarmed her; the price of the ring went up
hundred fold and was considered at once
an extravaganza which she of her own op-
ton abandoned. - New Orleans Times

PERSONALITIES

Barry Pain, the writer, neverIworks ex-
cept with pipe in his mouth.
T. p Gore, one of the Texas Populist
nominees for congress, is blind.
Samuel NJ. Jones, the famous Golden
Rule Mayor" of Toledo, o., laid the founda-
ton of his present fortune when, at l8, he
became interested in petroleum in his state.
After the great fire Of 1871, says the New
York Tribune, so hopeless citizens of Chi
cago held meeting among its smoking
ruins to plan reconstruction. They were
nearly despairing, but for the hopeful speech
of young man, Lyman j. Gage.
The Transvaal has only one ambassador
to Europe, DR.. Leyds, who represented the
republic at Queen Wilhemina's coronation,
and is now on a round of diplomatic visits,
taking in London, Berlin and Lisbon. His
legation will be fixed at Brussels.
The princess of Wales is an ardent ad-
mirer of Wagners operas and would never
voluntarily miss one of the Covent garden
performances. When her royal highness
has been particularly pleased with any
music it seems to haunt her, and she may be
often heard singing it softly to herself. In
fact, it is said that she has been heard un-
consciously doing this during an important
society function.
A further addition to the literature deal
ing with DR.. Nansen's recent attempt to
reach the north pole is shortly to be made
by Lieutenant Hjal1har Johansen, who was
Nansen's sole companion on his remarkable
sledge journey. His account of the great
expedition is to be entitled "With Nansen
in the North" The work will be pro-
fusely illustrated from photographs taken
by Lieutenant Johansen himself.
People who have been led to regard Col
onel Roosevelt as a millionaire will have to
revise their ideas. His fathers estate Of
$l,0O0000 was divided equally between four
children, and some portion of the colonePi
share OF S25O,000 was spent in the west. Ha
also spent considerable amount in the or
ganization of his regiment SO that he il
probably not as well off as he was in 1878,
when his father died.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-Today's session OF the
peace commission began at 2:l5 p. m. and
ended at p. m.
When the meeting opened the Americans
presented to their Spanish colleagues the
answer of the United States to the claims
submitted on Saturday last on behalf OF the
Spanish. The documentsin which the Amerl-
can answer was set forth consisted OF nearly
fifty sheets of tyepwritten matter 1t was
refutation of the Spanish allegation that
because the words possession, owner
shin" or "cession' do not occur in the pro-
tocol clause touching upon the Philippine
islands. the peace commissioners have no
right to discuss them here, and that even
if they did so it must be in the light OF the
alleged fact of an exterior agreement that
Spanish sovereignty should not be impaired
The Americans also answered SPAN
claim for the restitution to her OF pubic
money and customs collections taken by

The American commissioners in their re-

of the future of the Philippine islands, and
they also claimed that the occupation OF
Manila is a military occupation. which JUS

The joint session was short because Senior

posed visit of the emperor of Germany to
Spain show that the Spanish government
has been notified that two German warships,

it is not yet known whether the visit of

ORANGE COUNTY
The Voters Expressed Approval Of the
President

SANTA ANA, Noy. 9.-Unofficial returns
from all precincts in this county give
Gage, Republican, for governor, 1882; Ma
guire, l775; Needham, Republican, for con-
gress, 1912; Castle, fusionist, 1905; Chyno.
weth, Republican, assembly, 2lOS; Menges,

board of equalization, 1923; Toland, fusion
list, 1856. Gage has majority of 2O7, To-
land 33, Needham 3O7, Chynoweth All. The
fact that both Republican congressman
and assemblyman received larger number
of votes than Gage for governor is evidence
that many voters put their stamp of ap,
proval upon the administration of William

PASADENA, Nov. 9.-The G. 0. T. VIC
tory in this Republican stronghold was
foregone conclusion, but that the vote polled
would be 800 less than in 1896 was sur
prise to all. Gage was knitted by the col
ored men, Mcguire getting the larger per-
centage of their votes. The Republican
majority was less than was expected, and
the fusion vote shows growth of liberal
and progressive ideas.
The total vote of the town was l7l9 as
against 2049 in 96.
The total vote for Gage was ll03, for
Mcguire 467, Waters 1l5O, Barlow 396, Bell

"Those commissioners shall meet"
Each Of the two governments shall
likewise appoint" Commissioners

The steady progress from will" to
"shall" in the course Of the document

Of the higher criticism" would have
reasonable basis for saying that at the

change Of authorship. Or is 1t that the
