THAT ELECTRIC LINE
st'ii Being Encouraged by Mayor Bell and
 Attorney Henry (. Wood.

The proposed electric line which has been for several months, and is still being pushed by Mayor D. C.. Bell and that determined attorney, Mir, Henry c. Wood. of Chicago, has by no means fell through, as we heard upon the streets this morning.
 Only few thousand dollars are needed, and the above named gen tle. men are striving faithfully to secure 1t and we will vouch for their suc- cess. Although little by little is be- ing subscribed and It's movement Is slow, 1t will come, and as we have said before, Pine Bluff has gone too far to turn back and begin over again.
 Mr. Wood leaves this afternoon for Chicago, where he will attend to some very important business and at the same time try to interest some capitalists ana induce them to sub scribe the remaining few thousand dollars. He will return to this city about Monday, and make known his success.

They Will Pack Their Grips and Pull Out For Home Should the

HOW FURTHER TIME
 CAN BE SECURED.
If Spain VIII Accept the Proposal En General, Minor Points Wili Then Be Taken Up and
 Discussed.

Paris, Nov. 25.-If Soain does not ac- oept the terms Of peace as proposed to the Spanish commission by the last note from the American commission on Mon- day next the Amerlcan commissioners will be found packing up their effects to start for home as quickly as they can leave Paris, for the instructions to tho commissioners are vory explicit
 If Spain announces acceptance to the main propositions, but wishes to further discuss some minor matter, as, for example, the exact amount of the lump sum to be paid, then the American commissioners will be instructed to re- main and hear why the Spaniards think the $20, 900, 900 should be raised. But a straightforward acceptance of the terms ill general must preceGe such considera- ton. Otherwise not day longer will be permitted.
 It is not impossible that the United States may consent to go little higher than $S0 900, ,000 although no authority has been given the American peace commissioners to offer or to agree to more. Spain's request for a larger sum would have to be referred back to Washington It is doubtful if the United States will consent to pay more than $25, ,000
 There are so any rumors af1oat that isis impossible to judge just what Spain intends to- do.
