WARD COMMITTEES.
Republican City Committee to Recon-
mend Increase.


An adjourned meeting of the repub-
lican city committee will be held this
evening at headquarters, when the
question of increasing the membership
of the various ward committees by the
insertion in the call Of clause desig-
mating that the voters shall elect five
members, will be under discussion.
There is an openly expressed difference
of opinion among the members of the
committee on the subject. many OF
whom are of the opinion that the COM
mittee has no authority to say to the
voters of a ward what they shall and
shall not do at the caucuses. Many of
the members who are in favor Of an in
crease in the committees think that it
is competent for hescommittee to sug-
gest to the caucuses the advisRbllity of
an increase on account Of the addition
al work demanded by the new precincts
but they do not favor any domination
to the voters. Chairman Tatman has re-
ceived an opinion in regard TO the mat
ter from Chairman Goetting Of the
state central committee to the effect
that the committee has the right to state
in the call the number of ward COM
mntteenen to be elected. but in spite of
this many of the members will oppose
any such movement at tonights meet
ing. AS one of the members said to The
Spy man last evening, the voters choose
the members of the ward committee
and they have the right to say how
many shall be elected, and it is not for
the city committee to say to the voters
how many they desire. So far as the law
is concerned, the voters may choose
three or more members to serve as the
ward committee and there is nothing to
prevent ward having representation
OF say ten members. From past expert
enoe 1t might from the standpoint Of
efficiency be we'll for each ward to
choose ten men to serve, for there are
always certain members elected who
never perform any active duties.

 Looking for a new issue, they can rot determine just what form it will take until after the treaty has been signed CT the policy Of the administra- tion has been stated in detail What they anticipate is that the administra- tion will follow Q policy of annexation ard that. without offending the senti- ment antagonistic to the restoration Of the islands to Spain, they can declare for the independence of the islands and

 But they do rlJ5 yet know what will be the exact form of the ad1ninistra- r!Cn'a policy and meanwhila demo- cratic leaders, eager with their orin- ions, are committing themselves in ad- vance and getting the situation seri- ously tangled for their party. While the president is keeping his own coun- sel, these democrats are foundering about and making issues that they can not get away from.
 Another disturbing thing, to the strczg adharents to the Chicago plat form, is that the senate will stand in the way Of silver legislation, if nOth- ing. else does, for ten years or more, and that possibly 5he next congress, be- ing republican in both it's branches, will TX upon the country T currency system which will meet all the de- mands for money, satisfying those pao- pie who merely wan a greater volume of money, without being particularly interested in silver as . precious metal.

 After the grand jury had adjourned one of the members desired to make $ atement regarding the case of Aaron Gist. who had been oxonerated in aE1 carly partial report Of stealing cow It had been stated that Gist had ac- kncwledged his guilt and there was an inference that the jury had been moved by sympathy for him. The jury man said Gist might have made such an acknowledgment, but if he did it never came to the knowledge of the grand jury. Neither were there any witnesses for the prosecution found to offer any damaging evidence.

 However. the department declares that Senor Montero Rios will sign the peace treaty without reserve, as it's signature under protest will deprive the treaty of definite character and leave matters as bad as they are now and we have ministerial authority for saying that the government desires the speediest settlement of these mat ters. as otherwise they may result in grave dangers in Spain"

It has been found that in the year named Germany and Spain having conflicting claims to various islands, I ttripa1.ite arrangement was entered 1 into by the terms Of which Spain l yielded her claim to the northern part i af the island Of Borneo, and guaran -eed to England and Germany liberal | lghts Of trade ard fisheries in the Sulu | islands.

Washington, Nov 26.-A loud cry
 against silver is being raised within the democratic party. An exciting and important, though not very open, fight
 has already started within. the ranks.
 The campaign against Lhe Chicago platform has begun, and a feeling Of anxiety is manifest among tine strong supporters of that platform. As near ly as can be determined at this stage of the matter, the plan will not be to attempt a direct repudiati0n of the free silver plank Of the platform, but to so overshadOw it as to make 1t mat Ter Of secondary consequence, so that it will belong to the and others" class of issues recited for the attention Of the voters at the presidential election.
 The recognition of such a struggle for supremacy in the party is very poin;e edly given by MT. Bryan in break ing his prolonged silence D suddenly put himself again at the head uf his scattered ard temporarily Ieaderless supporters.
 A good many democrats have become so eager to take issue with the admin istration on the assumption that the are to b3 annexed thai sil- yer leaders fOresee that men Of their own faith are going to be led into the discussion of that question and that they will thus assist that clement Of the party which is bent upon diverting atterticn from the late Chicago plat form.

Why the Presidents Objects to Prelna-
 fdre Rejoicings.

Washington, Nov. 2G.-rhe White House officials tclay eofroborated the press dispatches stating that the president had requested the peace eel ebration committee at Atlanta to change the form Of It's expression from peace jubilee to a ce4ebration of the victory Of our arms.
 The reason for this request is the un- ceI tainty of peace negotiations. Even should a treaty Cf peace be signed, it could not be ratified until after Christ mas Moreover, there are indications that there may be other troubles pur- suant upon the peace treaty which would make peace jubilee little premature.
 It is understood that the president the various peace jubi1ecs before peace has actually been ac- complished, but thst in the case of Chi cago and Philadelphia, Eaey had pro ceeded too far for u1s suggestion to ta Of any avail. It IS said here that the people have expressed their willingness for the change and that the president is very much gratifed.
