PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
FRENCH SYMPATHY WITH THE
SPANISH.
While Americans Were Cordially
Received, Paris Not Inclined
Toward United States.

PARIS, Sept. 27.-While the recep-
ton accorded the United States Peace
Commission is all that could be de-
sired and while the French Foreign
Office has taken great pains to treat
the American and Spanish Commis-
sioners in precisely the same manner,
it must be admitted that the general
atmosphere of Paris, especially the
diplomatic atmosphere, does not incline
toward America.
1t is the general impression here that
the American Commissioners have in
structions to provide for the retention
of Manila and the island of Luzon,
''and for the commission to pretend to
negotiate is a farce" said a prominent
diplomat. He continued:
America will put herself, diplomat
ically, in the wrong when she exceeds
the provisions of the protocol which
both nations signed. 1 know the Span
iards have come to make concessions,
but If the Americans instructions are
of an uncompromising nature. which is
generally believed here to be the case,
you can rest assured that the work of
the commission will be futile. The
Spaniards will retire, and America will
at least have to threaten a resumption
of hostilitieS before she will gain her
point"
The French newspapers, beyond an
nouncing the arrival of the commits
sions, make no comment upon the
matter. The American Peace Commits
sion, for the first time since its ap-
pointment, met to-day as a body for
two hours in the drawing-room of the
Continental Hotel.
Ferdinand w. Peck. the United
States Commissioner to the Paris Ex-
position of 1900, is about to vacate
his quarters in the same hotel. They
were formerly occupied by the ex-Em-
pres Eugene and have been used by
Mr.. Peck as offices until the perma-
nent offices on the exposition grounds
were in readiness.
The suite of rooms which the former
Empress at one time used Will prob
ably be acquired by the American
Peace Commissioners. They will be
used for executive sessions and official
headquarters.
AS the joint commission is not a de-
Lucrative body, it will, possibly, not
organize with presiding member from
either commission.
This is deemed in some quarters to
be the wiser plan, as tending to pro-
mote closer working relations between
the two commissions and facilitating
an ultimate adjustment This, how
ever, is not positive.
Judge Day and Whitelaw Reid are
quartered at a hotel overlooking the
Tuilleries gardens and the other Com
| missioners are equally comfortable.
The Americans enjoyed sunny wealth
er during their first day in Paris, and
they are all in good health and spirits.
The French Government is arranging
| to provide at the salon where the joint
| sessions of the commissions will be held
| an elaborate buffet daily for the use Of
all the Commissioners.

The war has been prosecuted by the
United States with the utmost vigor and
aggressiveness. It has already become the
fashion OF street-corne- statesmen and
sidewalk sages to regale crowds with ex-
hortations on the procrastina.ion Of the
Mckinley administration; but 1t is doubt
fui IL even these great generals and pro-
found ssrategisfs can recall many cam
paigns where decisive battle was fought
i've days after the formal declaration OF
war and where second and perhaps final
engagement was imminent within two
weeks. The facts are that the United
States has astounded the world by the
promptness oc It's preparation and the
rapidly OF Its movements; and i, has al
ready all bu. paralyzed Spain, which was
already on senll-war footing.

Congressman Lewis the other night de-
livered an address before the students Of
the University OF Pennsylvania An ac-
count OF this interesting event In q Popu-
list newspaper says:
His description Of the state guards re-
fusing to be led by government h.re.ings
and leaping from college and workshop
to voluntarily give up their lives for the
freedom Of their fellow-man provoked the
widest enthusiasm"
We may assume that the whole speech
was Lewisesque, but We may also take
leave to doubt IL the college students broke
into the widest enthusiasm because Of
the eloquent statesman warriors denuncia-
ton OF army officers. II they did. the
more shame to them. The nations peril
has been regarded by Col. Lewis as he
regards all other matters. and his attitude
toward them. viz: How Will they affect
Lewis? We venture TO hope that the grave
crisis OF war has given his constituents
a somewhat clearer and considerably less
appreciative view OF Mr.. Lewis than they
have heretofore enjoyed. Earnest work
should be done by earnest men.

least a chance to receive competent at

In order to make this plan work most
thoroughly. It might be agreed that no
attempt should be made by either force

Indeed, it might be understood that

foes, should be taken care Of Even the

The superior facilities Of the Post

frated Ia yesterdays issue. The story

feature Of the days chronicles. and It

which was q graphic and thrilling re-
cifal Of the terrific collision between the
hostile fleets and the absolute annihila-
ton OF the Spaniards. It IL not the
practice of the Post-Intelligencer to
boast Of its achievements. 1t is content
to permit results to speak for them
selves. But 1T is not too much to say
that no newspaper on the Pacific coast
was yesterday more thoroughly salts
factory in all respects to its patrons.
None north Of San Francisco presented
the war news. and the general news,
In style and fuliness approaching the
Post-Intelligencer: and it Is doubtful II
any in that city exceeded it In variety
and interest.
The exclusive telegraphic service Of
the Post-InteIligencer daily aggregates
from 5000 to 1880 words. and On occa-
sion 1t Is more. The regular Associated
Press service is supplemented by spe-
cials from New York, Washington and
other important Eastern points. and the
local and Northwest fields are covered
in a manner not rivaled by any other
newspaper. 1t may interest patrons OF
this paper to know that the day Asso-
ciated Press report Is $500 words-occa-
sionally 2,00o-while the night report is
from 5000 to 1900 words. The meager
report Of an evening newspaper may.
however. be supplemented by clippings
from matter that has already appeared
in the morning newspapers.
It viii no doubt be gratifying to the
readers and friends Of the Post-Intelli-
gencer to know that its circulation Is
now larger by many thousands than 1t
has been in it's entire history. 1t has
not been the practice OF the Post-Intel-
llgencer to print so-called circulation
statements. custom utterly discredited
by reputable newspapers. but still In
strong vogue among publishers without
conscience or character. 1t Is sufficient
TO state. and TO assert positively and
without reserve the correctness of the
statement, that the circulation Of this
newspaper is larger than the combined
calculations OF any two newspapers in
Washington: and its publishers think
they are justified in declaring that II is
now greater than that OF any news
paper west of st. Paul and north OF
San Francisco.
