GoDKIN ON THE PEACE TREATY
The Irish Exile Speaks Ont His
Mind.

From the New York Evening Pcst)
We print elsewhere Senator Frye's account in
the Tribune Of the negotiations OF the Peace
Commissioners in Paris. lie evidently has not
much idea how it Will look to civilized men.
Negotiations of this sort have been familiar
to all highwaymen and and burglars since the
practice OF robbery began. The burglar gets
somehow into the citizens bedchamber and
wakes him up and asks for his money. Then
Negotiation continues. The citizen admits. on
being pressed that he has some. but very little
money. He Is requested to indicate where it Is.
lie declines TO tell. The robber is firm with
him. lie points out 10 him that he must see
that his visit has not been made for mere
pleasure, that It's object is the acquisition Of
weat!, and he requests him to think more de-
lberatciy over his refusal 10 say where the
money is. The citizen considers the matter,
and states the reasons for his unViuingness in
good logical form. The robber is still not con
vinccd. and asks the citizen whether he IS
thai further persistence in his refusal viii
be followed by the presentation OF an ''ultima-
tum.'' The citizen asks whether no modification
of lis demands is possible The robhrr says not.
but adds that his patience Is becoming rapidly
exhausted. and produces a revolver which he in
forms the CliiLcU i III uueiht-S
timatuul." and will be used the citizens per-
son in case of further delay. The citizen then
tells where the money IS, and treaty OF peace
is signed. The negotiations in highway rob
berry or the ''holding up OF a train follow sub
stantialy the same course. They are always
closed by the presentation OF an irresistible ''Hl-
timatum." 1t is probably owing TO this rcsem-
blance to this criminal ofense OF extoTtion un-
der threats that it is not the custom OF civil
ized nations to present ultimatums personally,
especially when ii is well known that the wretch
ed enemy cannot resist. Ultimatans arc usually
written in dispatches. Civilized people usually
try to avoid the spectacle OF vanquished en-
emys squirmins or weeping over his own OF
his country's humiliation. Therefore, when their
terms of peace are fixed and cannot be changed,
and are very lard. they do not summon the un-
fortunate enemy to their presence that they may
witness his agony through long months. But
then neither do they steal his private letters ont
of the mails before the war begins, reveal their
rascality to the writer, and abuse him for what
he says in the letter. Modern negotiations ara
supposed to have something mutual in them,
some possibility of give-and-take. Ii there is nc
giye-and-take in them. and they sure TO bt

not negotiations but extortion- But it i.

IT would feed every hungry person In the
city. He has introduced a resolution au-
thorizing himself to confer with the heads
the view of organizing a system for col
iecting such food as well as clothing.
Only practical experience will prove
whether people will take the trouble to put
aside much of the food that is now thrown
into the garbage cans. The only objection
that is raised against the proposition is
rot worth consideration-that 1t will tend
to pauperize the poor. AS the city already
undertakes to feed the needy. it is simply
a question of economy-whether the public
money shall be used or the citizens con-
tribute what they would otherwise throw
away. The public officials will discover
that they are not the first in the field and
that the idea is not new. In nearly every
city the larger hotels and restaurants
formerly gave to charitable Institutions
especially TO the Little Sisters of the
Poor-the coffee grounds that had been
used once. II was found that they were
still strong enough to make very much
better coffee than can be bought in
second class eating house. Then some
body discovered this and offered to buy
the coffee grounds at price so tempting
that the charities no longRrl got them.
The old clothes market, too, is already
fully worked. There seem to be not less
than thousands of dealers in the streets of
New York. trundling their carts. with COW
bells TO attract attention., or with bags On
their backs crying aloud for "castoffs." ="
Anybody who has observed the garbage
collectors of that city-and it is probably
the same in all-knows that every bucket
is raked over for anything that is still
edible By the time the refuse reaches the
burner there is little that is left of articles
the hungry would eat One result Of the
experiment may be that housekeepers will
set aside parts of loaves of bread and the
like for the poor; but 1t will be at the ex-
pense Of many who now depend on pick
ings. II it could teach economy to the
wasteful families that live up to their
means 1t would be wholesome thing.
There is the strongest contrast between
the thrifty immigrant who comes from the
crowded quarters of Europe and the native
American, as to economy in food The
French usually buy only in small quanti-
ties, often only enough for single meal.
The Germans waste nothing. The Poles
| in Detroit and Buffalo beg for the privilege
of gathering the garbage, from which
families are almost wholly supported. Per-
haps We should all be surprised to learn
that Americans waste quite as much
as they eat.

SERGT. HILL TEsTlFIEs.
The AIger Relief Commission Hears
Willing Witness.

- Willing Witness.
A solitary witness gave the Alger Relief
Commission an opportunity to exercise its
functions yesterday. 1t was shortly after
10 o'clock when William W. Hill. first
sergeant of Company L, First District Of
Columbia Volunteers. began to give his
testimony. Many questions were asked and
Sergeant Hill proved to be an excellent
witness for the defense. 1t being his opin-
ion that military arrangements during the
war with Spain had been very well con-
Quoted.
Before the fr Hill served as as
sistant superint rfslt of the local free de-
livery mail service. During the difficulty
with Spain he acted alternately IS commits
sary sergeant, quartermaster sergeant and
first sergeant of Company l. He went from
here to Camp Alger with his regiment.
thence to Tampa. Fla, and from there to
Cuba, returning after Santiago had sur
rendered to Camp Wikoff.
The substance OF Sergt. HIS testimony
was that the soldiers had suffered few
hardships and that he had seen no errors
in the military management. He said that
after his company had landed at Siboney
part OF the ratious were discarded and the
greater portion of what was left fell to the
reconcentrados. There was a painful lack
of food for two days after they reached the
firing line.
Speaking OF the canned beef, Sergt. Hill
admitted that considerable of 1t was bad
but said that the commissary depart
ment always exchanged 1t for good. Sergt.
Hill. when asked II he had heard protests
from the soldiers. remarked that there
were men who would complain under any
circumstances. In his opinion, the SOL
diers Jared well at Tampa. Sergt. Hill de-
clared that there were plenty OF medi-
cines. He described the distribution OF
quinine pills each morning and the Diff
Guilty in getting the men to swallow them.
The troops had fear that the drug would
soften their bones. and frequently. after
the surgeons had departed. would spit
them out, having held them in their
mouths
Sergt- Hill contradicted the testimony OF
Gen. Miles in regard to the rank beef that
was supplied to the army. He did not be-
/ lieye that it was bad for the men. and
was certain that it had not been treated
with chemicals He acknowledged that
some OF the beef had been condemned by
the surgeon. but he didn't see very much
harm in it"
Col DENLY was delighted with the tes-
timony of Sergt. Hill. and probed for favor

A Most Astonishing Purpose Attri-
butcd to President Mckinley.
G'rom the Washington Evening star.)
Immediately upon the ratification OF the
peace treaty by the Senate the President
will recommend to Congress ,he enactment
OF legislation looking to the settlement of
the claims of American citizens for dam
ages sustained in Cuba, Porto Rico and
other Spanish possessions which formed
the seat of war. These claims to the
amount of s26 100000 on this score have
already been lodged with the State De-
partment. 1t is true that some OF these
are claims based on depredations COM
is questionable whether the Spanish gov
ernment could be held responsible.
On the other hand, it is believed that
there are many claims for large amounts
that have not yet been presented. owing to
the inability Of the claimants to obtain
the necessary corroborative evidence dur
ing the Spanish occupation of the evacuat-
ed territories or because of the belief that
it would be fruitless to present any claim
so long as Spanish sovereignty was main
tanned
Now. however, by an article in the treaty
of Paris the United States has assumed La
bility for all claims preferred by its cit
izens on account OF depredations. or in
| fact. on any proper score.
In turn the Spanish assumed liability for
any claim that might have been made on
account of Spanish citizens or the Spanish
government itself against the United States.
What such claims would have amounted to
cannot be estimated. None was filed with
the United States Government prior to the
declaration of war. But it is recalled that
there was much criticism on the part OF
high Spanish officials of the alleged failure
OF the United States Government t~ OBJ
serve the requirements of the neutrality
| laws and more than one statement was
made to the effect that the Spanish gov
ernment intended to present a claim for a
| round number of millions on that score.
In the inclusion in the treaty of the
clause providing for the mutual assump-
tion Of debts by both parties. the commis-
sioners were simply following the lines OF
the treaty of Guadaloupe- Hidalgo, which
terminated the war between the United
States and Mexico, although in that case
there was a limitation expressed in terms
upon the amount of liability to be assumed
by the United States. So far as is known
the treaty does not specifically provide foi
the appointment Of a commission TO ad'
Just these claims of United States citizens
but as that is the usual method of adjudi'
cation, it is presumed that the usual course
will be followed and the commission Gre

The latter cannot withhold its sanction o
some such arrangement after the ratifica
ton of the treaty because the convention
itself binds the Government to the obliga
ton.

goes into the South he should carry with him

consent to an even exchange and should expect
