ONE FRENCH PAPER
 ON THE INSIDE.
h Gives what Is Says Is shs Position of she Peace Commissions, De-
 spifs Their Secrecy.

Paris, Sept 29.-Fhe United States commission went into session at Il o'clock this morning. The Ganlois says ::
 In spite of the mystery surrounding the matter we are able. from high source. to give the outline Of the posi- ton of both commissions. While the Americans have instructions which are much more precise than those of the Spanlards, there is . diversity of opinion in regard to the Philippines. Senator Gray IS q very ardent Democrat, and consequently belongs to the party which repudiates expansion. He opposes all annexation, and his opinion, therefore, totally differs from that of the other four commissioners. some of whom would be content with ! eoaIlng station in the Philippines, possibly Cayire, while others, like Senator Davis, advocate the annexation of the whole archipelago. "
 The GauIois, however, believes the Americans, by mutual concessions, will come to an agreement, and they will be largely influenced bg Major General Merritt 5 report of the situation.
 The instructions to the Spanish com mission, according to Ths Gaulois, Is briefly to hold out and make the best terms possible,
 Madrid is well aware, 1t apperrs, that the conferences at best were only had to please fha Spanish people. and the only hopes entertained are that the Americans will not abuse the situation 100 much Popular sentiment in Spain, it Is added, thinks it better 10 abandon the Philip pine islands than keep them under con ditions rendering them ungoYernable.

MORE TROOPS SELECTED
 TO GO TO CUBA.
Foar More Divisions VIII Go Tn Addi. tion to Those Already Chosen by
 General Miles.

New York, Sept. 29-A special dis patch to The Herald from Washington says
 h addition to the troops already or dered to go to Cuba, not later than Oo- tober %. there will follow four more diyisions-three of infantry and one of cavalry. It is the present plan Of Gen. eraI Miles that these troops shall all be landed in Cuba by November 10, though an official said that he did not believe the last would arrive there before Dec. ]. The first troops to go. will t Is ex- pected, witness the beginning of the evacuation and they have been hurried forward because the evacuation will begin earlier than was expected.
 The headquarters of the three military divisions will be in Havana, Puerto Principe and Santiago It is apparent ly well settled that General Wade will be in command of the department of Havana. General Lawton will remain where he is, as commander of the de- partment of Santiago and General Lee, 1t is thought, will be in command of the central division. The whole question will be canvassed with General Lee when he arrives here on next Friday night.
 The cavalry will be under the com mand of General Wheeler unless he re- signs to resume his seat in congress. The cavalry will be scattered in detach- ments at many points.
 General Miles is now selecting the troops Of the remaining divisions and it is expected that they will be announced in few days.

IN A PATRIOTS HONOR.

Virginia Masons viii Commemorate the
Centennial of George Washlngton's
Death.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Virginia
grand lodge of masons is arranging
for the observance of the centennial
anniversary of Washington's death in
Alexandria. This is peculiarly appro-
pirate, because Washington presided
at the laying of the cornerstone of
the capitol in 1893, not only as presi-
dent of the United States, but also as
past master of Alexandria lodge of
masons. During the ceremonies he
wore his masters sash, and the apron
presented to him by Lafayette, wrought
with masonic emblems in gold and
silver. AS President Mckinley is a
mason he will be invited to deliver the
principal address at the ceremonies,
which will be held as near as possible
to the family vault in which Washing
ton was laid in 1887. Arrangements
will be made for a solemn ceremony
following as closely as possible the
ritual of the burial itself and the in
tcntion is to have masonic and other
bodies from all over the country par
tiCinate

Michigan Central railway in the suit
brought by Gov. Pingree to compel the
railway company to sell him 1000
mileage book good not only for him
self, but for any member of his family,
for $50.
In his opinion Judge Donovan reviewed the
railroad company's contention. He held that
under its special charter the company was
granted the privilege of fixing its own rates Of
fares, This privilege however was claimed by
the state to be indefinite as the roads charter
merely gave the company power to fix
fares by bylaws In that case under
police power only reasonable rates
could be fixed, as under such power all rules
touching the welfare and duty Of citizens their
property, comfort and happiness can be regu-
lated by law, this being true of hackmen, mill

EXTEND BANKING PRIVILEGES.
House Committee win Report Bill ON
Lines Laid Down In President McKinley's
M eaaaUa

House Committee VIII Report Bill ON
Lines Laid Down In President Mo kinley's
M essage.
WASHINGTON, Feb. AFTER all the
extensive theories have been exploited
and the individual views of members
expressed, the banking currency COM
mittee will in all probability report
a bill, not to reform the currency, but
to extend banking privileges and bank
ing circulation very much on the lines
laid down by President Mckinley in
his message to congress- The COM
mittee is more or less split on general
principles of finance, and especially in
regard to all schemes for retiring the
greenbacks. There is every reason
to believe that the following meas
ures will secure the Endorsement of
the republican majority. (D To en-
courage the establishment of banks
in remote sections of the country by
reducing the required capital to $25, 600;
~ to permit the issue of bank circula-
tion up to the par value of the bonds
deposited to secure it; (8) the reduc-
ton OF the tax on circulation. There
Is sentiment in the committee that
this tax should be reduced to the low.
est possible figure, even down to one
fourth or one-eighth of one per cent.
Should this involve any serious loss of
revenue to the bureau, slight tax
may be levied upon the resources OF
the banks.
There is well-defned opinion in the
committee to the effect that the presi-
dents plan for impounding the green
backs in the treasury, when redeemed
in gold, would be dangerous because
it would give the banks chance, by
concerted action, to retire all the green
backs from circulation, with the neces-
sity Of continued bond sales to supply
the gold for this operation. Instead
of that, nearly a majority of the COM
mittee favor plan to require the
banks to maintain certain proper
ton of their reserve in green
backs. The result of this would
be that the United States notes, being
held in the bank reserves, could not
be used to raid the gold reserve, and
at the same time they would be per-
forming their function as money in
circulation, while, from the porta-
bility and freedom from loss from
abrasion, they would present distinct
advantages over gold, which they
would at all times really represent.
The outlook for financial legislation is,
therefore, that all extensive systems
like those of Secretary Gage, the
monetary commission and Chairman
Walker will not get out of the COM
mittee Mt all.
