MITCRELL's STATION, Va, Sept. 10 -
At the public sale yesterday afternoon
at 1dlewild, the noted breeding farm OF
S. Russell Smith, part of his high bred
stud of horses was sold at prices rang
ing from $65 to 1920. The stock sold
will compare favorsbly in all respects
with any stud in the United States.
The attendance was only moderate,
bidding spiritless and prices ruinously
low. The buyers present were from
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Leesburg, Lynchburg, Charlottesville
and neighboring counties.
This stock was sold upon a credit of twelve
months, or discount of five per cent. for
cash. We take it that when animals of the
morse kind of superior blood and breeding
sell for such prices the much Wanted Ding
ley prosperity lags superfus on the stage.
We are sorry to say that typhoid fever of a
malignant type is more general in this section
than for several years One particularly dis
tressing case near here is that of the Morgans,
where out Of seven members five of them are
down helpless, with no one outside willing to
wait on them.
The weather being dry and cool, corn cut
ting Is general throughout the county, with
the finest crops for many years.

THE PEACE COMMISSIONERS.

he I LASL NOM MlSSION Ehc.
The President and Cabinet have
agreed upon the instructions to be
given to the peace commissioners, and
the latter were yesterday advised as to
the policy of the administration in re-
gard to the Philippines and other mat
tiers. The nature of the Instructions
Will not be made public. It is believed
the commits sioners will not 90 to Paris
as mere mouthpieces Of the administra
ton, although they are expected to
carry out its wishes as explained to
them. President Mckinley gave din
ner at the White House last night to
the members OF the peace commission,
who will sai from New York to
Paris tomorrow.
1t is generally understood that the
commissioners will go to Paris prepared
to make what is considered moderate
demand upon Spain. The Island of
Luzon, including the city and narbor Of
Manila, will probably be among the
cessions of territory which the admins
tration will demand as one OF the con-
ditions of peace between the two coun-
tries. At the very outset it will be
made clear to the Spanish commission
er5 that, as in the case Of the prelimi-
nary protocol, there can be no devia-
ton from or modification OF the de-
mands made by the United States.
