SPAIN ENDS NEGOTIATIONS
A RUM0RED BREAK IN PARIS.
The American Peace Commission De-
clnred That the United States
Would Keep the Philippines and
Fay Spain Twenty Millions of
Dollars.

Paris, Nov. 22.-The president Of the
Spanish peace commission, Montero Rios,
has refused to continue negotiations.
The Spanish and American peace COM
missions met in joint session at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The Americans de-
clared they must have the entire Philip
pine archipelago, and for treaty cession
Of the islands the Americans rendered to
Spain $20,O00,0O0. 1t was further de
clared it is the purpose of the United
States to maintain the Philippine islands
as an "open door" to the worlds COM
merce.
On the terms named the United States
proposes mutual REIMBURSEMENT of all
claims for indemnity, national or person;
al, subsequent to the outbreak of the last
Cuban insurrection. November 2S is fixed
as the date on which the United States
commission desired a definite response to
today's propositions and all other sub
iects at issue here. 1t is also declared the
United States desires to treat on religious
freedom in the Caroline islands as agreed
upon between the United States and Spain
in 1886, and also in the acquisition Of one
of the Caroline islands for an American
naval station, and of cable landing rights
ut other places in Spanish jurisdiction,
and the revival Of the certain Spanish
American treaty as heretofore in force.
The Americans also refuse to arbitrate
article of the peace protocol bearing
upon the future disposition and control OF
the Philippine islands. The meeting was
then adjourned until Wednesday.
Cabinet Minister Talks.
Washington, Nov. PA member Of
the cabinet, in an interview yesterday
afternoon, Immediately after the an
nouncement Of the breaking off OF peace
negotiations, made the following state
ment as to the effect of the discontinue
tion Of negotiations:
''The action of the Spanish commission
ers will not affect the purpose Of the
American government. Our government
will still assert precisely what 1t has
claimed, and it will proceed to carry these
claims into execution. ! don't believe
there will be any concession on one, and
that is from the American side, nor actual
resistance on the other. 1t will simply
remain for the American government 10
hold what it has proposed TO hold, for II
is NV practically in possession, and all
that remains is to make this possession
an actual fact. While the Spanish gov
ernment declined TO acquiesce, it can not
interpose any obstacle, and the only re-
suit will be it will be compelled later 10
recognize what IL refuses to acquiesce in
at present.
81 say this on the assumption that the
notification given means really rupture
of negotiations, and not simply move
mcnt to take them up in new way. One
significant effect is that this action now
relieves this government Of the whole
question OF compensation for the Philip
pines"

MISSOURI Is IN FLAMES.
Miles Of Country Burning-The Lar
Eest Ever Seen.

Macomb, Mo-, Nov. 2l.-The largest
and most destructive confagration that
has ever swept this district since 1874 is
now circumscribing this district for miles
and miles north Of and parallel with the
Memphis railroad. The autumn heavy
foliage has rapidly fallen since frost and
is supposed to have been fired by sparks
of freight engines this afternoon. A
scope of country l3 miles long is in
flames, miles OF fences. orchards, planta-
tions, farms, and dry pasture fields, stock
ed with cattle. and many old settlers
homes lie in the line OF devastation and
will find themselves unable to check the
flames, their only remedy being to hur-
riedly turn out stock ahead of the flames
and desert the premises. The altitude
being 100 feet above the sea level and a
terrible southwest wind prevailing, great
destruction is imminent. The town Of
Macomb will probably be totally de-
stroyed.

CURIOUS APING OF ROYALTY.
Instances of Society Initiating the
Limps Of Crippled Princes.

The Alexandra limp became the fash
ion in 1874. In that year the princess OF
Wales was afflicted with lameness OF
one OF her knees. Only slight limp was
the result, but this limp was caught up
aud initiated by the ladies of the court.

women of England. Not few OF the
women of America also aped the fashion.
says Mainly About People.
The long trains, which were so popular
and so offensive a feature of the fash
ions of the early seventies, grew out of
the fact that Queen Victoria, owing to a
painful swelling, had been obliged to
wear bandages on her foot. To conceal
the bandages, she heightened her skirts.
Her dutiful subjects straightway length.
encG their skirts also. and in literal
sense they went through the streets car
rying dust and garbage and potential dis
ease into parlors and drawing-rooms.
History is full Of similar anecdotes,
Alexander the Great had twist in his
neck. II was therefore fashionable for
everyone in that monarch's court to carry
his neck awry. One day Francis ]. Of
France was struck on the chin with a
piece OF tile. To hide the resultant scar
he allowed his beard to grow. His cour-
tiers all followed his example. Thus
boards came back into fashion, after hav-
ing been out for nearly century. Charles
VII. of France had pair of ill-made legs.
He wore a long coat to conceal them. Re
suit, everybody else wore long coats. The
peruke is said to be due to the misfor-
tune of Philip, duke of Burgundy. His
hair fell out, and his physicians advised
him to cover his hair with artificial hair,
which he did, and thus set the fashion.
During the reign of George ILL.,, his
royal highness the duke of York had II
duel with Colonel Lennox. and the
worthy colonel succeeded in shooting
away one of the dukes curls. Hence it
became the correct thing TO wear curl
on one side of the temple only. When
Fox, the first of Quakers. was sitting in
church and the preacher said anything
which he didn't like. he moved solemnly.
put on his hat. and kept it on until the
disagreeable remarks concluded. Hence
arose the Quaker custom Of wearing hats
in church.

CHANGE IN SPA|N'S DYNASTY
DON CARLOS IS POSSIBLE,
There IL a Rumor That the Little
King May Abdicate and That DON
Carlos May BE Given the Throne
The Filipinos in Europe Are Much
Disturbed.

London, Nov. PA curious report in
regard to Spain's future government is
current in diplomatic circles, which, from
its source. is entitled to weight. 1t is
that there will be q change Of dynasty,
but peaceful change. The queen regent
is said to be convinced of the hopeless
ness Of her sons reign and has, upon the
advice OF the emperor OF Austria, decided
that after the peace treaty is signed at
Paris to quit Spain with her family, and
Don Carlos will be proclaimed king. Ev.
erything is reported to be already ar
ranged, and the army and the clergy are
alleged to be agreeable to the change.
According to the program, Don Carlos, so
soon as things are running smoothly, will
abdicate in favor of his son. Don Jaime.
Filipinos Excited.
There is much agitation among the Fill
pino representatives in Europe over the
Philippine situation. Agoncillo, the repre-
sentative of Aguinaldo, who has been in
Paris watching the proceedings of the
peace commission, starts for Washington
today. 1t is learned that on Wednesday
last he called meeting of all the Fill
pinos in Paris and London to meet him in
Paris, when committee was formed with
the object Of doing everything possible to
induce France to recognize the so-called
Filipino republic. A telegram was sent to
Aguinaldo asking for instructions and the
following reply is said to have been re-
ceived:
Insist on absolute independence. 9th
erwise fight to the death. We are all unit
ed and the government is progressing
smoothly. AL the Independent tribes Of
the mountains are submitting to Aguin-
aldo and the chiefs are bringing presents

Indianapolis, Nov. 22-Beginning yes

printers, pressmen and bookbinders
throughout the country will work nine
hours and half day. The reduction in
the hours Of labor is not in itself Of great
consequence, for in many cities these
trades work but nine hours day, but
theoretically the change is regarded in la
Dor and industrial circles as one Of great
moment, as being the initiative step in the
struggle of organized labor for universal
