DELAY THE NEGOTIATIONS.
President Mckinley satishsd That the
sPanI-h COmmtsEIonsrs Are Pur-
pOseIy ProorastinztinE.

Washington, Oct 25-The presi-
dent is satisfied at last that the Span
ISL commissioners are PurPosely de-
laying the negotiations This is the
belief Of the American commission
also The time has now come to cut
on all false pleas and to come directly
to the main issue left open by the
protocol, namely, the disposition
OF the Philippines Up to this
point the entire time Of the
commissioners has been con-
sumed in repeated efforts on the
part Of the Spanish commissioners to
force the Cuban debtquestiOn upon the
attention Of the joint commission
against the firm opposition Of the
American commissioners The latter
have stated as positively as they could
that under no circumstances will they
assume sovereignty over Cuba, invoIv-
ing an assumption Of the Cuban debt,
and the time has now come when, in
the opinion Of the American commits
siOners, the Spaniards must be made
TO understand that this answer
is final and conclusive. So far
the American commissioners, while
preserving q firm attitude, have
treated the Spaniards with the
utmost courtesy and consideration,
allowing frequent pOstpOnements Of
the work of the joint commission to
accommodate the Spaniards, but now,
probably at tO-day's meeting, without
departing from their courteous treat
ment Of the Spaniards, the American
commissioners will find it incumbent
upon them to speak very plainly as to
the determination Of the United States
government to regard this matter Of
the Cuban debt and Cuban sovereignty
as passed over and beyond recall.

THE RAILROADS BEATEN.
Supreme Court Holds That the Joint Traf-
&c Association Is Operated in Re
straInt OF Trade.

Washington, Oct. s5.-The United
States supreme court yesterday decided
the Joint Traffic association railroad
case in favor Of the United States
against the railroads. The case is cone
sidered one Of the most Important that
has ever come from the supreme court,
not only to the railroads, but to the
general public, and because Of the
vast railroad properties represented
by the traffic association The as
ISOLATION was formed on November 19,
1895, by 81 railways, representing the
great trunk lines and their nework of
branches The purpose Of the associa-
ton, stated in the articles Of agree
ment, was "to establish and maintain
reasonable and just rates, fares, and
regulations on state and interstats
traffic" A similar associations on
smaller scale, was formed among south
western roads, known as the Trans
missouri association These assO-
Citations were soon attacked in the
courts on the ground that they were
in violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law and also Of the intercommerce law.
The TransmissOuri first reached the
United States supreme court, where, in
a notable opinion, the court held that
the association was illegal, being In
effect a combination in restraint Of
trade and commerce, and therefore
violative of the antitrust law.
Justice Peckman announced the dez
cision. He said that the court could
distinguish no difference between this
and that Of the TransmissOuri case
decided a year ago, which was decided
against the railroads. He said the
only new point involved was as to the
eonstitu tiOnality of the antitrust act.
The court had reached the conclusion
that, as railroad corporations per-
formed duties Of semi-public charac-
ter, it was in the constitutional power
Of congress to regulate them as pro-
Vided by the antitrust act The only
question then was as to the policy Of
congress in adopting such q measure,
and as to questions of policy the court.
he said, had nothing to do.

ANOTHER FRAZER CASE.
Reported Drowning OF Dr.. ". Il Ireland
at Montreal a Probable scheme TO
Beat Insurance Companies

Montreal Can, Oct z5.-An attempt
TO extOrt $50, 900 insurance money is
seemingly at the bottom Of the story
of the alleged drowning a week ago of
Dr. W h Ireland, a native of Trenton,
Ont, but for years a resident Of South
Africa and surgeon to Cecil Rhodes
The city was deeply stirred by the
event, which was said to have taken
place of the Donaldson line wharf.
and the announcement that Ireland's
widow was at deaths door in her
hotel When detectives called to see
her, her story did not quite agree
with that told Of her arrival at the
hotel two hours after, it is alleged,
her husband was drowned. She after
ward made other contradictory state
ments- The detectives say frankly
that they believe that during the two
hours between the alleged accident
and the time Mrs. Ireland reported il
at the hotel, Ireland went to a depot
and took train for New York, whence
he sailed for England.

AN ANTI-FUsIoN VICTORY.
the-ROad POpuiist Ticket Must Go
on the OmcIaI Ballot

jefferson City, No, Oct 26.-The su-
preme court in banc yesterday rem
dered n decision in the case Of the
middle-of-the-road populists against
Secretary Of State Lesueur, in which
that official is directed to place their
state ticket on the official ballot The
decision Of the court appears to be a
broad one. It seems TO have partially
destroyed the Australian ballot law,
because IL allows all tickets to
be fled which have regular eertff-
Gates. The opinion holds that the
secretary Of state has no discre tionary
powers IN the matter; that he must
file all tickets which are presented to
him which are in regular form; that
he can pass upon this part only; that
he has nothing to do with the right Of
the party to put ticket in the field.
Acting under the decision, Secretary
Of State Lesueur filed both populist
tickets, and they viii both appear on
the Official ballot He, however, fled
the ticket which the regular pOpuIists
presented TO him at first, and refused
to file the ticket presented by NJ. V.
Carroll Monday night just before the
closing OF the time for fling vacan-
eies, which ticket contained the names
Of the democratic nominees
