During a session Of he joint p.s.s
commission at Paris, the other day at
a time when the Spanish members
showed disposition to delay matters
by what seemed unreasonable obiea,
ton to minor details, Judge Day p.o.
nounced one crisp sentence which is
likely to be quoted many times in The
future, and which then had the effect,
Of eXpediting matters.
A treaty can contain anything The

nouncement and it showed that the
Americans meant business. No matter
what differences of opinion may exist
in this country as to the terms Offered
to the Spanish people. the fact remains
that this country, represented at Paris
by Judge Day and his colleagues, was
clearly within It's rights in debating
the terms upon which peace could he

the right, but the plain duty of the

Local Plumber Thrown From Team and
Severe Injury Results.

James P. ]. Cahill. the plumber, was
thrown from his team. at Trumbul

tured his left arm between the wrist

fracture resulted.
The injured man was taken to DR..

called out a general discussion con-
corning the use and danger of high
buildings in their relation to the spread
of fire. The opinion of the chief of the
New York fire department, that no
building should be higher than $50 feet,
because of the impossibility of throwing
water to a greater height, is not in
dorsed by the head of the building de-
partment. The latter says that had it
not been for the Home Life Insurance

The trouble between DR.. Andrews and
the Chicago school board seems to have
been due largely to q difference of opin-

should superintend. The doctor took
the affirmative side, and he was quite
right. Within certain reasonable and
easily understood limits, a man filling
an executive position must be allowed
considerable freedom of action, if his
services are to be of value to those
whom he is supposed to serve.

Again has the Canadian Pacific cut the
rates from one coast to the other. The
Canada line seems determined that some
adverse legislation shall be passed by
congress and is inviting its own incon-
venience from the indications.
In addition to the information con-
tanned in the dispatches of Yesterday
morning concerning the cut rates from
st. Paul 10 Seattle, the following dis
patch was sent out yesterday afternoon:

The rates TO Chicago and St. Paul are
new rates, while the rates to New YORK
remain undsturbed. The rate war is
proving 4 bonanza 10 vessels running

Local passenger agents stated yester-
day there was little likelihood of this cut
having an effect on rates from this point
in either direction. as was hoped would
be the case by the ticket brokers. and
several others. AS il is now. the Chicago
PASSENGER for the f<londike can get 10

Chairman Caldwell wired the local
agents yesterday that the time for them
to make the cut would be on the 18th.
and on that date the lines operating
through thu Missouri river gateways Will
meet the rates made by the Canadian Pa
cific.
II was rumored last evening that the
Southern Pacific might be induced to take
hand in the matter. San Francisco IS

chants there who were doing a good bust
have lost nearly all their trade. Nothing
remains for them now eNcspt local bust
ness, and that is small as compared with
what they expected. Large stocks on
hand are practically worthless. ana ap-
peals are being made through the papers
to let down the lars and give the town
chance. The Alaska Commercial COM
pany. which sent a car through short
time ago. is making tremendous pro-
test and demanding that the Southern
