SPAIN ACCEPTS THE $50, 900, 900 OFFER
She Consents to Relinquish Cuba and
Cede Porto Rico, Guam, and
the Philippine Islanda
BEG0ARED AND HUMBLED SHE OFFERS
WEAK PROTEST.

Spain has accepted the United
States offer of $50, 900 900, and at
a joint session of the peace COM
missions this afternoon consented
without condition to relinquish
Cuba and to cede Porto Rico, Guam
and the Philippine islands.
The document presenting this &C.
ceptance contained only 800 words.
1t opened with reference to the
final terms of the United States
and said that the Spanish commits.
sioners, after having taken cogniz-
ance af the terms proposed by the
Americans, replied their govern
ment had tried to give as equitable
an answer as possible, but that they
were not prepared to commit their
government to the acceptance OF
the principles embodied in the ar
gument.
The reading and the translation
of the document occupied less than
five minutes. AT conclusion of
the translation the commissioners
empowered Senior Ojeda. secretary
Of the Spanish commission, aud
Secretary Moore of the American
commission, to draw up articles
which are to embody the relinquish-
ment of Cuba by Spain and the
cession of Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines. These articles, which may
be considered as constituting the
conditions Of peace, will be ready
for submission on Wednesday.
The American commissioners
will hasten matters with a view OF
having the treaty signed within
10 days or so and of sailing for
New York by December Is. Judge
Day said this evening:
1--WE have done the only thing
possible regarding the Philippines.
Our opportunity of giving up was
lost when Admiral Dewey did moi,
weigh anchor and sail away"
Count Won Munster, the German
ambassador to France, was the first
diplomat to call at the American
headquarters to-day and to con.
graduate Mr.. Reid on the commits
sion's successful work. He said
the settlement would meet with the
of Germany.

The expert telegrapher is doomed
A printing telegraph machine has
been invented by F. Hachmann, an
electrical engineer at Whitefsh Bay
Wisconsin, which is destined to
revolutionize telegraphy. 1t will
do the work of six operators, can be
run by boy or yoong girl and can
be manufactured for $40. The in.
ventor, it is stated, has already an
understanding with the Western
Union company to take the ma.
chimes as fast as they can be turned
out, which, it is estimated will save
that monopoly one million dollars
month. The new device will
shortly be put in operation at Min
neapolis and St. Paul.

Strength of the Farmer Boy.

One of the examining surgeons
of the United States explains the
grounds for the rejection of so
many volunteers. One of the chief
defects was the failure in chest
expansion among the volunteers
from the farm. These farmer boys
were strong of limb, but so long
had they bent to their task that
their lung power had been impaired.
In reviewing these facts Surgeon
Harvey makes the following sugges-
lions for the improvement of the
physical man:
l. Look out for the eyes of the
young, and be careful that thew are
not allowed to overwork or strain
them.
2. Let the young farmer boys,
otherwise vigorous and strong, be-
ware of the contraction of their
chests and lungs. They ought to
try sitting up exercises as a regular
routine.
3. Bicycle riders ought to be-
ware of scorching and racing and
OF the long and tedious rides across
country. Ride ip moderation.
4. Take care of the teeth, and
look after them early and persist
emily. They affect the entire system.
These wise suggestions from one
of the ablest medical practitioners
in the country should not be lightly
brushed aside or forgotten. On
the contrary, they should be put
into general effect at once. Amer
leans are too prone to neglect the
laws Of health and they need sadly
to amend this characteristic.
The American farmer gives him.
self too little recreation. Change
OF pasture, change Of occupation,
recreates the power of the individ-
ual. Excessive physical labor is
the bane of the farm. Men and
women should take better care of
themselves that they may better
care for their children.-Farm and
Home.

to nicely. 1t Is a smooth train inside

The Smoothest Train in tho United
States,


On Sunday, November 90, the Borling-
ton Route made radical change in the
schedule of the Chicago Special, its finest
and fastest Denver Chicago train.
Heretofore, the train has left Denver
in the morniDg-immed,ately after the
arrival Of the D. s. r. G.. and Colorado
Midland trains from the West. 1t now
leaves at 1 40 p. M, arriving in Omaha
in time fo- breakfast next morning, and
ut Chicago q; 8:l5 y. M. the same day.
In other words it ruus 1,G46 miles in
twenty mine and one half hours Ian aver
age rate of speed. of about thirty SIX
miles an hour. There are not half q
dozen long distance trains in the United
States which are scheduled faster than
thirty six miles an hour. And there Is
not one-not single one-which has as
good record as the Chicago Special for
being ston time all the time"
The equipment Of the Chicago Special
consists of one sleeping, one dining, one
library, and two chair cars. The cars are
of the newest design, and have been in
service less than six months. All of them
have the new wide vestibule and are
lighted with Pintsch gas.
The sleeper is upholstered in peacock
blue, and contains twelve sections and q
drawing room. The toilet rooms are un
usuall roomy-a circumstance to which
much of the trains popularity is due.
In each of the two reclining chair cars
are seats for. fifty six persons, ladies' and
gentlemen's toilet-roOms with soap,
marble wash. basins, comb, brush, towels,

HAWAIIAN COMMISSION REPORT
An Outline of What the Documen,
Will Contain.

A late Washington dispatch says
Senator Cullom is preparing the
report of the Hawaiian commission
and will submit it to the President
for transmission to Congress SO
that it will e..ready at the opening
of the session. The Senator de.
clines to give details as to the char
acter of the report, but from other
sources it was learned that the re-
port, as finally drafted, will provide
for partial continuance of the
present government in the islands
under direct federal supervision.
There will be Senate of fifteen
members and a House of double
that number, which is an increase
on the present House membership
of Hawaii. There will be graded
qualification on the suffrage. Mem
bers of the House may be elected
by voters who pass an educational
test alone, while members of the
Senate will be chosen by voters
possessing both educational and
property qualifications. There is
now property qualification for
voting in Hawaii, but the proposed
form Of government will reduce
this somewhat so as to furnish an
inducement for small holdings,
There will be educational and prop
eerty restrictions in regard to hold
ing Office, the qualifications for
which will be closely defined.
There will be no "open door" in
Hawaii. The tariff laws of the
United States will be extended to
the islands without alteration, be-
cause Hawaii was formally annexed
to the United States by a statute
law, and any other course would
.unquestionably be opposed by the
Supreme Court. The present Su-
preme Court of the islands, whose
members hold their places for life,
is to be continued and to be given
jurisdiction of local laws, whose
force will also be continued as far
as possible, as they have been taken
by law from the statute books of
different states in the union and
are, as whole, quite acceptable.
The immigration, labor and gen
eral election laws of the United
States will be specifically extended
to the islands. These will keep out
further inroads of coolies. The
islands will be given delegate in
the House of Representatives, who
will have no vote, but will have the
same privileges as the representa-
tives of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma. The Governor and some
of the higher territorial officers will
be appointed Ivy the President. The
Legislature will have considerable
control over local taxation and ex-
penditures, but the restriction Of
the suffrage on educational and
property lines will, of course, re-
duce the number of voters to a
point relatively far below the pres
ent organized territories.
