THE new DIPLOMACY.
The British Ambassador to France Gives
Advice TO Frenchmen at
Paris BANQUET.


Paris, Dec. 7-At the silver jubilee
banquet Of the British Chamber OF
Commerce here last evening the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Edmund J. Mon
son. referring to the new diplomacy
which Is said to have come into fashion
during the past year, said 1t was
chiefly due to the enterprise OF the
press, but also it was in measure due
to "mother country innovations and
to the originality Of the American mind
ever restlcssly watching TO improve
everything which will perhaps end by
improving the diplomatists of the old
school off the face of the earth"
The ambassador added
Il am quite ready to acknowledge
that there is much good in the partic-
ular innovation occupying my mind at
the present moment. America has in

The Spanish Crisis

PAklS, Oct. 26.-The morning papers here
treat the fall of the French Cabinet and
the scene in the Chamber of Deputies al.
most to the exclusion of general news. All
OF them, however, dwell briefly on the
Spanish crisis or the split in the Liberal
party of Spain, without, however, direct
reference to the Paris Peace Commission,
except in the case of a newspaper, La Vol
ante, in Madrid article, dealing with the
international situation in Spain, sums UP
as follows:
Whatever may be said one way or the
other regarding the situation, one thing is
apparent-that the moment is badly chosen
for Ministerial crisis. When dreadful
calamities threaten Spain from the outside
and at the moment when her destinies
are being decided by the Paris conference,
and at the moment when her flag is crushed
at Porto Rico, the Liberal party is in a state
of chaos and disagreement in the face of
American pretensions which are daily be-
coming more arrogant. Spain finds herself
with Ministry without authority. Never
has she needed more imperatively strong
government, one more watchful and awake
to outside questions. Instead of this, mis-
cradle internal quarrels are distracting the
attention of those who ought to have
no other occupation than the salvation of
their country"

MARSEILLES, Oct. 26-General Lord
Kitchener of Khartoum, and Captain Bara-
tier. the bearer of Major Marchand's report
on Fashoda. arrived from Alexandria, Egypt,
today on board the Messageries steamer
from that port.
During the voyage the two officers dined
together and cordially conversed on the GUS
toms OF the tribes and peoples each had met.
The British Consul here met General
Kitchener on land and Captain Baratier re-
ceived an affectionate greeting from his
mother and brother.
General Kitchener and Captain Baratier
left for Paris ON the same train.
A crowd which assembled on the platform
cheered Captain Baratier and a delegation
from the naval and commercial schools pre-
sented him with the insignia of the Legion
of Honor.
A deputation from the Geographical So
ciety of Marseilles congratulated Captain
Baratier. With General Kitchener the
speakers expressed admiration of the gener-
ais Nile campaign and work in behalf of civ
llization, and thanked him for the courtesy
he had extended to Major Marchand and
his colleagues. The General thanked his
visitors warmly and eulogized Major
Marchand, whose expedition, he said, had
excited the admiration of the world.
The train then departed amid shouts of
"Vive Baratier," and ''Vive Marchand."

A New Memorandum

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The Paris CORE.
spondent of the Times says:
At today's (Wednesdays) sitting, the
Spanish peace commission offered a new
counter memorandum declaring their readi-
ness Professionally to accept an article OF a
preliminary treaty stipulating that "Spain
shall reliquish all rights to sovereignty in
Cuba without formulating any other claim, -
and to leave in suspense all remaining ques-
tions, especially the Philippines. The Amer
leans asked until Thursday to reply to this
new memorandum. This is regarded as
favorable sign, being slight relaxation OF
the rigidity the Americans have hitherto
shown. They are perhaps aware that the
Cuban and even the Spanish bondholders
are becoming alarmed at the strange turn
of the financial side of the discussion in
which Spain, the United States and Cuba,
with extraordinary unanimity, all repudiate
the Cuban debt.
Nobody will be able to force Spain to ac-
cept the debt, for, apart from bankruptcy
she could only meet the liabilities at the ex-
pense of her foreign bondholders who, by
strange anomaly, would thus have to pay
for the independence of Cuba. 1t is not
likely that the United States or any other
power can or will force Spain to ruin her.
self by meeting the Cuban debt, and it will,
then either be total loss for Europe or be
paid by the Spanish bondholders.

SURE OF ELECTION
The Sacramento Supervisors Failed to
Observe the Law

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 26.-For many
years the sheriff of this county has per
formed the duties of tax collector, under a
resolution of the board of supervisors con-
solidating the two offices. But today Su-
perior Judge johnson granted the petition
of B. N. Bugby, requiring the county clerk
to insert his name in the official ballot as
candidate for tax collector. The Republi-
cans nominated f. L. johnson for sheriff,
and the fusionists named j. M. Morrison,
each supposing he would, if elected, be ex
otficio tax collect. Bugby was nominated
by the Silver Republicans for tax collector
alone, and is the only man whose name
can now be printed on the official ballot as
a candidate Tor that office. Judge johnson
held that a resolution of the board of super
visors did not comply with the law, which
requires the passage of an ordinance and its
publication.

lieve no solution of the Indian question can
be reached until the present tribal system
be unrecognized, government reservations
abolished and the present appropriations for

Recognizing that our government bears a
friendly attitude toward the reforms. we
would recommend that committee be ap-
pointed to visit the president of the United

oretically held by the government shall be

Progress Hoped For

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-There are in
dications that the peace commissioners in
Paris are approaching the end of the con-
sideration of the subject of Cuba and Porto
Rico and officials here would not be sur
prised if today's proceedings of the commits

commission free to take up the disposition
of the Philippines The Spanish case has
been presented with an ability and adroit-
ness that commands the admiration of dip

No Change Likely

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The Madrid CORE.
spondent of the Standard, telegraphing
Tuesday by way of the frontier and dealing
with the threatened cabinet crisis, points
out the impossibility of a change Of govern
ment, because a change would almost GER
tainly cause the resignation of the Spanish
commissioners in Paris. He says:
"Senor Sagasta, therefore, will remain at
the helm until the treaty of peace is signed,
unless Gen. Weyler or the military elements
cause trouble"
Senior Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish commission now offers no hope of
obtaining anything from America for the
Cuban debt. He even says that Spain must
assent to that view in the matter before
the conference can proceed so as to settle
the Porto Rican and Philippine questions.

Odd Fellows Jubilee

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26.-Delegates
from nearly every lodge of Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs in the state met this evening in
Eureka hall, Odd Fellows building, to ar
range for the golden jubilee of the organiza-
ton, which will occur in 1899. There was
a discussion of having the celebration on
the 9th of September, 1899, which is by
common consent given over to the Native
Sons and Pioneers. There was an effort on
the part of those favoring the 9th of Septem-
Der to force a vote to get the expression of
the delegates, but, after several speeches, it
was decided that it would be the best policy
to consider the question at later day, and
a motion to lay the whole matter on the
table prevailed. The meeting then adj.
journed to the call of the chair.

A Mysterious Meeting

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26-Immediate-
ly after the reception to the president at the
Union League club, meeting OF the chief
executive and those cabinet officers who are
in attendance with him at the peace jubilee
was held at the Hotel Bellevue. Those pres
ent, besides the president, were Postmaster
General Smith, Secretary of War Alger,
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson and Solic-
itor General Richards, in place of ATTORNEY
General Griggs.
The utmost secrecy attended the proceed
ings, and it is impossible to learn for what
purpose the meeting was called or what sub
jects were discussed. From an unofficial,
though ordinarily reliable, source, it was
CLEANED that j. G. Kellogg, private secretary
to Secretary Hay, reached here tonight
bringing important dispatches from the
state department. Neither Secretary Por-
ter nor any of the cabinet officers could be
seen after the meeting and no information
from other sources could be obtained.
The meeting lasted nearly an hour and
was held in the presidents room in the
hotel. Local detectives prevented any one
from approaching the vicinity. Mr.. Kellogg,
when questioned about the matter, admitted
being the bearer of a message, but said it
was purely a personal one from Secretary
Hay. That it was more than some ordinary
deliberation was apparent from the fact that
Mr.. Kellogg reached the Union League club
shortly before II o'clock and was immediate
ly taken to the president. He then left and
went to the hotel, the reception coming to
an end very shortly. After the president
and cabinet had concluded their dclibera-
tions Mr.. Kellogg left Immediately for
Washington in special car. 1t was re-
ported after midnight that the president
may leave for Washington in the morning
and not remain to review the military ju-
bilee parade.

TEMPERATURE FALLS AND A
BLIZZARD RoARs
WIRES DOWN AND TRAINS STOP
The Most Serious Damage Reported Is
That Suffered by the Great
Lake Shipping
Associated Press Special Wire.

| CHICAGO, Oct. ga wintry storm
which was central over the southern end
OF Lake Michigan prevailed throughout the
northwestern States the past "a hours. To
the west OF Chicago, snow fell to the depth
| OF from two to eight inches and here and
to the east there was heavy rain which
changed to heavy. wet snow at midnight
A high gale from the northeast whipped the
snow into raging blizzard at many points.
Telegraph wires in all directions We're blown
down and the telephone service demoral-
| lied. Deep drifts, which interrupted street.
car traffic and threatened to impede rail
road trains and .paralyze business, placed
some of the smallest cities in the icy grip of
winter. Such severity of weather was en-
tirely unexpected sq early and has brought
suffering to stock.
On the lakes the gale registered great vel
oclty and in some instances, played havoc
with shipping. For vessel men this storm is
the toughest of the season. Danger signals
are. up all around Lakes Michigan, Huron
and Superior.
At several, points on the lakes vessels
were reported in distress and the crews had
narrow escapes from drowning. In Chicago
harbor alone, 25 vessels put in for safety.
The force of the storm was felt as far south
as the Gulf of Mexico. Its effects at diff
ferent points were varied and at nightfall
the rain that, had been falling in the Ohio
valley and the central and lower Missis-
sippi valleys turned into snow and soon
a. genuine winter blizzard was raging in
those parts of the country
When the snow started the velocity of
the wind increased. In some places the
change in temperature was so rapid as to
be almost dangerous to health. The great
est drop reported in the South was at Abb.
lene, Texas, where the mercury fell 20 de-
grees in few hours
At Springfield, ILL.,, and Springfield, Mo-.
the temperature dropped % degrees dur.
ing the afternoon, at Davenport and Du-
buque, Iowa, 26 degrees, and at Chicago, 25
degrees.
The lowest temperature at these places
was as follows: Dubuque, 80 degrees;
Springfield, ILL.,, 80; Springfield, Mo, so;
Davenport, 32; Chicago 81; Abilene, So.
The rainfall in this section 80 far this
month is one inch more than is normal for
October.
The gale continued most of today, caus-
ing immense damage to shipping. At 10
o'clock tonight the wind is going to the south
and the huge seas which have been rolling
on Lake Michigan for the past twenty-four
hours are fast running down. The storm
brought long list of disasters to the local
schooner feet, but there was no loss of life.

THE CARPENTER CASE
Is Now on Trial for the Fourth
Time

STOCKTON, Oct 26--For the fourth time
the Carpenter will contest case came up for
trial in the superior court this afternoon.
The first trial was in November of 1885.
Charles w. Carpenter died on January
q, 1884, leaving will, by the terms of which
his property was left to G. X. Bailey, the
remaining member of the firm of Bailey &
Carpenter.
Bailey was appointed executor by the
court. AT that time the property consisted
OF one-half interest in the partnership
property of the value of Sl5000O.
The heirs of Carpenter, three brothers
and sister, brought suit to set aside the
will, on the ground of unsoundness of mind
on the part Of the testator and of fraud,
menace and undue influence on the part of
G. K. Bailey in procuring the will to be
made.
The first trial was in November, 1885, The
jury rendered a verdict against the validity
of the will. A new trial was granted by the
supreme court.
The second trial took place in May, 1891
This trial resulted in the jury finding for
the contestants. The will was set aside.
Again new trial was granted by the SUI
preme court; this time mainly upon errors
in the instructions of the court.
The third trial was lad in the fall of 1897.
This time the jury disagreed, standing eight
to four in favor of the contestants.

The Delta and Filler broke away from the
schooner Pablo off Port Washington last
night. The Pablo has arrived here, the
Filler has been abandoned by her crew wa
terlogged off Racine, and the Delta is be-
lieved to be drifting distressed fifteen miles
off Kenosha. The Pablo went adrift from
kalkaska and waterlogged off Crosse Pointe
The members of the crew were brought
ashore by the tug Perfection. Efforts are
being made tonight to save the vessel. The

chored in shallow water south Of the har
Dor, but they are safe.
The Susquehanna passed a four-masted
barge hove to in midlake off Kenosha. She
is thought to be the Olive Jeanette. She
was riding the storm in good shape and had
no distress signals flying.
Marine men tonight are much alarmed
about the Aberdeen
