SPAIN'S REPLY HERE
Now Being Translated.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. }, 10 a. m.-
Until long after the midnight the sec
retaries of the French embassy were a
work last night on Spain's answer tt
President McKinley's peace terms
| The message of course, was received
In cipher. 1t means much work &c
| translate the note from the code into
Spanish aud then into English. In
finite care is necessary, for the reason
that change of a single word might
wreck the negotiations.
Before the close of the day M. Cam
bon will probably place the note in
the hands of the president.
Unofficial reports received at the
White House are to the effect that
Spain has accepted the terms. In that
event the war may practically be
brought to an end this week. There
will be work for the army for many
months to come, however, in Cuba,
the impression is strong that the last
battle with Spain has been fought.
Until the treaty is signed, sealed, and
delivered, with the approval of the
senate, however, the army and navy
will be on guard.
Spanish diplomacy is regarded as an
quantity, and the president
will keep his forces in position to re-
sumo the conflict without delay
While Spain is declared to ave &C
cepted the main propositions without
reserve, there are rumOrs that the Ma
drid cabinet is maneuveriug to save
out of the wreck
Ssgasta, it is said, will ask the pri-
vilege of retaining all war
in the islands to be evacuated,
and he will likely make an effort to es-
cape part of the debts of Cuba and
Porto Rico. 1t is also stated that he
has asked for details as to the time and
manner in which the Spanish troops
must be withdrawn from the West In
dies.
So far as has been learned through
sources of informsti
however, Spain has raised no question
that cannot be settled by peace COM
representing the two couu-
;ries.

Must Trust CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Among
public men today the statement Is
heard that the peace commissioners to
States will have to serve without
knowing in advance what compensa-
tion they will receive. No money for
this object can be voted unless the
house is in session when the senate
meets in extra session. However,
that can be arranged in December, for
plenty of wealthy and prominent men
can be found who are perfectly willing
to trust congress for money

LIHUNG CHANG
The Friend Of America Again In
Favor


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-Pekin ad-
vices brought by the steamer Doric,
July Is, throw fresh light on the cable
news that Ii Hung Chang is once more
in power, and acting as chancellor un-
der the empress Dowager. This was
brought about through the weakness
of the emperor, who is recognized as
totally unfit to deal with large matters
of state.
The empress dowager, who is q very
able woman, convinced him that he
must retire Wong. who for several
years has been the head and front of
the party opposed to all foreign re-
forms and improvements. Foreigners
and the progressive party in China
are delighted. No more radical or
more necessary first step toward pro-
gress could have been taken.
The emperor was at last made to see
the old fossil Wong in his true light,
and induced to rid himself of his ''old
man of the sea, " who wanted to be-
head America g friend Ii Hung Chang,
during the Japanese war.

Upon their arrival today they were

The bands played American airs, pro-
minent men made speeches'of welcome.
people fell on their necks and hugged
and kissed them and wept tears of joy.
Their progress to their homes was
one continual ovation. The returned
refugees had conference this after
noon with leading citizens of the town.
They said later that there was no ques-
tion but 80 per cent of the people want
ed annexation. They feel that the
United States is their deliverer, and

Accompanying them was Mr.. SUIT

Santa Ee Wreck.

. The Santa Fe west bound express
was wrecked near Winslow, Ariz.,
Tuesday morning. The train struck a
broken rail. The engine and the mail
and express cars passed over safely,
but the coach, chair car and two Pull
mans were derailed and thrown into
the Rio Purco.
The only person killed, so far as
known, was Ray Godding, son of the
Santa Fe, station agent at Kingman,
Ariz. There we're forty-three persons
on the train, and nearly all of these
were more or less injured, some very
severely.
1t is believed that the wreck was far
more serious than the meager reports
received would indicate.

Chronic Jurors.

''Have you noticed the regular gang
OF chronic jurymen in this town." said
q business man this morning. ''It is
worth your while to notice them. They
know more about the eases and when
they are to be called than the judges
and lawyers, and are invariably on
hand to serve a. jurors. They will put
constable when they know he is look
ing for jurors and in some instances
ask him If they cannot serve.
Some OF them, too, make very good
jurors. They have nothing on their
minds excepting the case which is be-
ing tried sand the fee, and they listen
to the evidence with all the attention
possible. The longer they serve on Q
case the greater the fee, and why
shouldn't they be contented? have
noticed this for years and the same old
l first made up my mind to watch
them.

was talking to me one day about q

afternoon and explained the whole af-

was the guilty party. l became so in

The first man my eyes rested upon
was the professional juror to whom I
had been talking. He was with the
crowd to be examined for q Juror in
the case, and wondered what business
he had there. Finally it
came his turn and the
lawyer asked, DO you know either of
the parties in this case?' No DO
you know anything about the csse?'

or against the parties in this case?'
No He was accepted and the man

FANCIEs OF HALLOWEEN.
Tomorrow Night Youthful Revels
VIII Go UnchalIenged.


Tomorrow evening the small boy will
revel in the ringing of door bells, throw
ing -four on pedestrians, stretching
strings across sidewalks and other like
diversions, and romantic young ladies
will give the fates every opportunity to
lay bare the future with games that were
historic when their great-grandmothers
played them. For tomorrow night is Hal
lowe'en. that ghostly time of the year
when, according to popular tradition, su-
pernatural things are bound to happen.
Masquerade and garnet parties are the
most popular forms of diversion for
young people on Halloween. The latter
is especially time-honored mode of eel
ebration, and an old-fashioned attic Is
necessary.
The attic should be lighted by candles,
some of them burning in Jack o lanterns
of weird shapes and ghostly. grotesque
faces. Autumn leaves and branches
should constitute the decorations and the
refreshments should be scattered around
the apartment, where each guest can help
himself. They should consist of fruits,
nuts, candies and, above ALL cider.
The games for the diversion of the
young are innumerable. Bobbing in a pan
of water, blindfolded, after apples; eat
ing apples or popcorn balls suspended
from strings, and pulling taffy are SO old
as to have become conventional. After
the apples are eaten, let each guest take
two seeds, giving each seed the name of
some member of the opposite sex, and
place them on the eyelids. The person
whose name is given TO the seed that
sticks the longest will stick to the manner
through life.
Put three lighted candles in an open
window, giving the name of a sweetheart
to each candle. Then watch them and see
which one goes out, denoting faithless-
ness and which one burns brightly in
spite of the breeze which makes 1t flicker
occasionally. The last one stands for the
sweetheart who will ever remain faith
full
If you would secure a likeness of your
future sweetheart, melt a little lead in
any ordinary metal vessel and suddenly
drop 1t into a pan of cold water. Those
who seek to pry into the future in this
way usually manage to find some sort of
a face among the grotesquely twisted bits
of suddenly cooled metal.
Put five leaves under your pillow, CIV
ing each one a name, and the one you
dream of will be your future lover or
sweetheart. And so on, the diverting
games and superstitions being almost in
Vulnerable.
These comparatively quiet modes of
celebrating the Halloween are usually
confined 10 the older children. The young
ones-the small boy especially-finds more
exciting sport to his fancy. He delights
to turn his overcoat wrong side out fill a
couple of paper bags with flour and scat
ter 1t literally on pedestrians whenever
he has chance to do~so and escape de-
lection.

TO INVESTIGATE THE CHARGES.
Civil Service Agent Will Re Sent to

An investigation is to be made by the
Civil Service Commission of the charges
made by former Gov. Busiel, of New
Hampshire, against the Republican State
central committee for alleged violation of

paign funds from Federal officeholders.
