SPANISH CHANGED TACTICS
Commissioners First Chung Strictly to
Protocol Terms-Now Want Lib
eral Interpretation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The peace
commissioners at Paris are still dealing
with propositions relating to Cuba, but
have not yet taken up the subject of the
future of the Philippines.
From an insistence on the strictest
construction of the articles of the proto-
col the Spanish commissioners have
swung to the opposite extreme, EVIL
IDENTIFY for amelloration of conditions,
on the ground of hasty preparation of
the document under great pressure.
There is an evident wish on their part
to associate Cuba and the Philippines
in their disposition, which may explain
the last application of the Spanish mill
tary commissioners for an extension of
the time allowed for the evacuation of
Cuba.
Our government will insist that the
administration of Cuba be relinquished
by the Spanish officials on Dec. l, even
if the Spanish troops have not all been
embarked for return to Spain.
PARIS, Oct. 15.-Commander Brad
ford, u. S. N, who has arrived here
from Washington, was examined by the
members of the United States peace
commission relative to the conditions
terest IN the Philippine islands with
which the commander is well ac-
quainted.
The fifth joint session of the two
commissions has been held.
1t is believed that the Spaniards sub
mitted as their construction of the pro-
tocol that it was just to consider Spain
as having equities fairly dischargeable
by the American assumption of Cuban
obligations. 1t is not unlikely that the
Americans voiced the conviction that
fair equities to the United States in
war expense were incurred by the
United States and possibly, though not
positively, the Americans may sched-
ule the value of the battleship Maine
as among the expenditures possible of
classification against the so-called
Cuban debt.

Free Bridge.

No blight has ever fallen upon
Morgantown and upon Monongalia
county like that of toll bridge be-
tween the two sections of the coun
ty.
Why it has been permitted to re-
main through two or three genera
tions of our history passeth under
standing.
1t is like setting up prohibitory
tariff between the eastern and wes-
tern divisions of our territory to pre-
vent intercourse and business rela-
tions between our people. A man on
the West Side gets into his buggy
with six pounds of butter, comes to
the county scat, pays thirty cents
toll, and his butter is thereby taxed
five cents per pound for the privilege
of selling in his home market, Is
it any wonder that the population of
the West Side has virtually trans
ferred their county seat to Fairmont
which they can reach without pay
ing tariff? Is it any wonder that
an estrangement has grown up be-
tween the population of the East
and the west sides of our county
which virtually destroys all bust
ness and social relations?
If we go through the upper sec
tion of the county we find the little
stream of Dunkard Creek spanned
by magnificent, iron bridges at all
convenient points. The people of
that section would not submit to be-
ing divided and cut up into isolated
neighborhoods for the want of
convenient crossings. And our couL
ty court has generously responded
to their reasonable demands for I'M
INSTRUCTED highways. That was
right.
But here is the Monongahela Riv-
er, an unfordable stream, dividing
one-half the population from the
other, that has remained impossible
for half a century except by one toll
bridge. What strange oblivion to
the welfare of the county could have
possessed our county court through
all these years to remain passive and
Indifferent to such a condition
What strange indifference on the
part of the people of the county
could have induced them to submit to
such mismanagement and neglect of
the public interests?
This thing must not continue.
The bridge must be free. The peo-
pie must not longer submit to this
inexcusable neglect. If the county
commissioners will not do their duty
they must be unseated and retired
to obscurity. The peoplesmust de-
mand in a manner that cannot be
mistaken that the public interests
shall not longer suffer from this
cause The tollgate must come
down. A road must be opened down
the river bank on natural grade to
enable the population of the West
Side to reach the county seat, not
only free of toll, but without the
necessity of winding around over
steep hills. A toll bridge, steep
grades, and unnecessary distances
have cost and are costing this coun-
ty more than would build half doz-
en- free bridges over the Mononga-
hela

romantic plays" There are two very
important reasons; one is that nobody
has been able to write romantic play
for Mr.. ONeill, for while many thous-
and have been presented to him. he
has found none that will suit him.
Another reason is that Monte Cristo'
is as popular as ever. If the story told
at the box Office is true, Mr.. O'Neills
investments from the money he has
made from Monte Cristo" include a
mine in Colorado, farm in Jersey, two
houses on the Boulevard, New York
city, three houses in Kansas City, half
of the suburbs outside Of Denver, an
orange grove in California and five
houses in New London, Conn.,, where
he makes his home. Dumas is dead,
but Monte Cristo certainly is not, as
far as Mr.. O'Neill is concerned, and
this great play will be seen at the
