PEACE COMMISSION in PARIS
Representatives of the United
States Kindly Received.
NEVERTHELESS 1T IS ADMITTED
The General Atmosphere Is
Against America.
If the Americans' Instructions Are of an
Dncompromising Nature, Which Parisians
Believe to be the Case, tho Work of the
Commission May be Futile.

Paris, France, Sept. 27.-While the
reception accorded the United States
Peace Commission here is all that
could be desired, and while the French
Foreign Office has taken great pains to
treat the American and Spanish COM
missioners in. precisely the same man
ner, it must be admitted that the gen.
eral atmosphere of Paris, especially the
diplomatic atmosphere, does not in
cline towards America.
1t is the general impression here that
the American commissioners have in
structions to provide for the retention
OF Manila and the Island Of Luzon,
land for commission to pretend to
negotiate is farce,' said prominent
diplomat. He continued: America
will put herself, automatically, in the
wrong when she exceeds the provisions
of the protocol, which both nations
signed. know the Spaniards have
come prepared to make concessions
but il the Americans instructions are
of an uncompromising nature, which
generally believed here to be the
case, you can rest assured that the
work of the commission will be futile.
The Spaniards will retire, and America
will, at least. have to threaten re-
sumption of hostilities before she will
gain her point. -
Tho French newspapers, beyond an
nouncing the arrival of the commits
sion, make no comment.

FUSION IN KENT COUNTY.
The Proposition Made TO the Democrats
by the Regular Republicans.

Dover, Sept. 27.-The Regular Re-
publican county committee met hero
yesterday afternoon and, as last
resort, decided upon fusion with the
Democrats to crush j. Edward Addicks'
hopes for United States Senator, to
succeed George Gray. Soon after
assembling, it sent for John ID.
Hawkins, chairman of the Democratic
county committee, and urged speedy
consideration of the danger of Mr..
Addicks securing II Legislators in Kent
county, 10 in Sussex and three in New
Castle.
Mr.. Hawkins, who had anticipated
overtures from the Regulars, assured
them that the Democrats would make
any fair arrangement to stamp out
Addicksism. II was then proposed
that in each district positively Demo-
cratic a Democrat should be placed
upon the Regular Republican ticket,
and in each Republican district a
Regular should be placed upon the
Democratic ticket, doubtful districts
to be evenly divided. Mr.. Hawkins
asked for time to consult the Demo-
cratic candidates, and the Regulars
adjourned until October 10th. They
have the written permission from each
of their legislative candidates to dis
pose of them as they deem most adj
yantageous to the interests of the Re-
publican party of Delaware, believing
that Mr.. Addicks does not represent
true Republicanism.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The Oranges
of Delaware, notably Pomona, NO l,
of Stanton, have been agitating tho
subject of tho extension of rural free
delivery of mail in that State. Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath has
written letter in reply to inquiries to
Prof. Arthur It. Neale, director of
agriculture of Delaware, about estab-
fishing rural delivery in Mill Creek
hundred, in which he says: "As soon
as a proper person can be found to
carry the letters the service will be put
into operation, trust not later than
October Sd next. The proposed route
includes the communities of Green
Bank, Brandywine Springs, Mecan-
non's Corner, Pike Creek and Mill
town. A second route is about to be
established at Harrington, which is to
serve the community in the triangle
formed by tho Harrington, Milford and
Frederica roads. 1t is probable that
the experiment will be applied at ono
or two other points in Delaware. 1t is
very desirable to have the cooperation
of the leading citizens and agricul-
tural organizations in this work.

A Strange story Related by Benjnmin Fis

A Strange story Related by Benjnmln Fis-
cher concsrnine atrs. Ida Aibotn.
Benjamin Fischer of No. l20 Shipley
street on Tuesday related the follow
ing story concerning Mrs. Ida Albom,
who lives in the same house with his
family.
About 10 days ago Mrs. Albom and
Mrs. Fischer, wife of Benjamin
Fischer, went to local dentist, Mrs.
Albom intending to have three teeth,
which had been giving her trouble,
taken out. Gas was administered to
her before the dentist went to work on
the teeth, and, through misunder-
standing, only two teeth were removed.
Mrs. Albom realized after reaching
home that one of the troublesome
molars was still in the jaw, but as her
mouth was sore she decided to wait a
while, before having it extracted.
Three nights ago, according to a
statement made by her to Mrs. Fischer
on Tuesday, she dreamed that her
mother, who has been dead about
eight or nine years, came to her and
asked her if she did not want the third
tooth taken out She replied that she
did and dreamed that she accompanied
her mother to tho dentists office, where
she believed she took gas and had tie
tooth taken out. When she awokefin
the morning she was so impressed by
the dream that she made an investiga-
tion. The tooth was gone, she alleges,
but she could not find it in the bed or
anywhere else and it is still missing.
She had been told not to make her
dream known generally for three days,
and, consequently did not say anything
about it outside of the family until to-
day, the three days having expired.

fault to find and would be in the field
again two years hence. ~
With this the committee completed
its labors for the day. s.. Frank
Ewart, who had been taken i'll, was
unable to attend the meeting Of the
committee.
During the canvass, when the COM
mittee reached the Second Election
district of the Ninth Representative
district, no certificate could be found.
1t was finally discovered that there
were two ballot boxes in the corner of
the room which were supposed to be in
the custody Of the sheriff. They had
evidently been there since Saturday
night. An investigation was made
and it was found that-the missing GER
tificate was in one of the boxes, having
been put there, evidently, by mistake.
With the consent of those present,
Chairman Ball opened the box and
after taking the certificate out sealed
it. Later the two boxes were turned
over to Sheri fl Finn.
The members of the committee, before
starting in on their duties, had the
oath administered to them by Magis-
trate John A. Kelley.
