BIG BUFFALO GETS OUT
Consideration in the Vacinity Of the

Ever since the big buffalo at the Union
stock yards became a permanent fixture
there, they have been a constant menace
to the peact OF mind of the entire yard
force las we'll as the usual visitors and
commission firms having business down
in the south cattle division When they
reached the yards last winter they were
so lean and gaunt that there was little
cause for fear, as they were too hungry
and weak to put up much of a fight or
cause any trouble Three times since,
| however, either one or both have taken
occasion 70 demonstrate their terrible
power when once brought into play They
have all the time been gaining flesh until
now they are gigantic brutes, capable of
demolishing any prison they mey be con-
fined in. The big bull now weighs some
thing over 1000 pounds and from constant
annoyance has become vicious and irrita-
bic Yesterday afternoon he broke down
the gates to his soLdly built pens and
started on the war path among the cat
tie pens and alleys, bent on having his
own way for once, and running things
to suit himself. AS luck had 1t, most of
the alley gates were closed, otherwise
havoc would have reigned had he ever got
out among the lanes leading to the scale
courts and main drives His first sally
was over TO a pen containing some young
colts. These he at once chased over TO
the far side OF their run. where they stood
trembling in abject fright. Next he
tackled a pen Of calves and stock cows,
and with a few well directed blows
against the palings scared them as far
away as they could get. BY this time the
yard foreman. Amos Williams. was on the
scene and realizing the dire possibilities
Of the situation, at once raised the alarm
and hurriedly closed ali laterals leading

If Will Be Translated and Then Dis. cussed by the American Com
 missioners at T heir Session.
THE JOINT SESSION
 ADJoURNS TO SATURDAY.
The Contents of the Note Is Un. known, but Is Believed to Be Rejection of the Ameri-
 cans Demand.

Paris, Nov. 17.-The meeting yester day of the Spanish-American commis. sioners began at 2: 15 D. m, and ended at D. m.
 The Spanish commissioners presented long document i'll answer to the Ameri. can argument winch was submitted last week. By mutual consent the memo. randum was handed to the Americans without being read, and the meeting ad. journed until Saturday.
 The Spanish communication will te translated and it's contents discussed by United States commissioners tomorrow at their usual daily session.
 It is not positively known, but is gem erally believed, to be rejection of the American proposition as to the Philip. pines.
 When the translation was begun it was found that the Spanish in their communication reaffirmed the position which they assumed against discus. sion of Spain's Philippine sovereignty. They insist that the words "shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines" ill article 3 of the peace protocol, do not warrant any reference to Spain's with drawal from the Philippines except on her own terms, and therefore the Span iards propose arbitration on tho con. struction to be placed on the words "tho control, disposition and government.

The Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
 Road After the Chicago and Alton.
 New York, Nov. 17.-Little authentic news can be learned regarding the pro- gress of the negotiations for the purchase by the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railway company of q controlling in- terest in the Chicago and Alton railroad. President A. E. Stillwell of the Kansas City road, who has been in this city for the last week, said that he could give out no information at present concern ing the projected transaction. It is TO. ported that cash option on the control of the Alton stock, with ample protec. tion to stockholders has for some time been ill possession of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank, and that on this op- ton being offered to the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf, the leading inter- ests in that company organized syndi- cate for the taking up the option, the subscribers to the syndicate being said to be the Kansas City, Pacific and Gulf or its financial packers, $l5,0OO, GOO, Drexel & Go, of Philadelphia, $lO, ,000,- GOO; the Illinois Trust and Savings bank SIP 1000, GOO, and several smaller subscrib CTS $S, GOO, GOO.
 The carrying through of the reported deal would give the Kansas City, Pitts burg and Gulf road an outlet to Chicago Not few well informed men down town, however, express the opinion of the control of the Alton stock will not be secured by the Kansas City, Pitts. burg and Gulf railroad.

STRUCK BY AN ENGINE.
..Johne the Old Chinamap, Seriously In
 jdred wedneaday Afternoon. /

Late Wednesday afternoon ssJohn, 9 the age-bent Chinanan, who Is q frequent visitor each day upon our streets, was struck by ga switch en- zine at the corner of Third avenue and Main street. He was crossing the track when the accident occur red. His feet were caught in the rear step and he was dragged seyeralfee before his weak frame could be loos- ened from his perilous position. It was wholly the old Chinaman s fault, as he is very fond of dope" as the boys call 1t. and eye witnesses state that he was almost asleep while crossing the track. The engine was going at moderately slow speed when it struck him. He was laid out on the sidewalk and 1t was evil dent from the blood that was :ssu- ing from his eyes, ears and nose that he was injured internally. His left thigh was crushed Into mass of flesh and bones. He was severely skinned about the face.
 He waH carried to his home on State street, where medital aid was summoned. At last reports he was in critical condition.

less content that even the reduced amount was used in fighting the Fili- pinos and object to the Spanish conclu- sion that it is a fair charge against the Americans.
 Trouble will arise, however, before that stage is reached, as the Spanish commissioners will undoubtedly inform the Americans that the latter have no right to exact a schedule of Spain's ex- penditures or any explanation regarding the destination of the money secured on these loans
 A Spaniard who is posted as to the ex- act status Of affairs informed the cor respondent of the Associated Press that he did not believe the Spanish commis- sioners would take their final stand at today's session, although he thought it possible that they might finally de- cline to continue the discussion except within the limits of Spain's connection with the protocol.
 This is another way of saying Spain may cease her contentious. Should she do so she would make an open protest to the world against spoliation.

The North Atlantic Squadron Can Be Sent on the Way to Spain
 Almost Immediately.
SPAIN MUST FIGHT
 OR SIGN THE TREATY.
It Is Not Believed by Washington Officials That Any European Power Will Take the
 Side of Spain.

Washington, Nov TIA renewal of the war with Spain is the talk now at the national capital and many offieieqls would not be surprised if squadron of American warships would be ordered to depart for the Canaries or Spain within week.
 Secretary Long reported from the navy department that the north Atlantic feet was ready 10 sail at few hours notice. Work had been hurried on all vessels and they Were now in best possible con- dition for a trip across the Atlantic.
 It was concluded at Tuesdays cabi- net meeting that the Spaniards in Cuba could give but little trouble since they had troubles enough of their own. I. was not anticipated that the Spanish troops in the Philippines could do any harm, and the most of them would sur render without striking blow.
 So the navy will have to bear the brunt of any further fighting that is to be done. The navy is ready. So far as it is concerned the war can begin at once.
 Spain must indicate its absolute ac- quiescence in the American demands or it must indicate it's acquiescence, coupled with proposition to treat for the final settlement of the government of the islands, the form of government to be proposed by the United States. At all events, the amonnt of indemnity to Spain must be a secondary consider ation. In other words Spain must yield first ill order to get herself into court to plead for her indemnity.
 It Is not believed at Washington that any Enropeen power will take any hand i'll the affair,

Dol Not propose to Aceept.

Madrid, Nov. l7.--According to semi official statements here the Spanish peace commissioners will maintain their present attitude i'll regard to the Philip pine islands, and will certainly not ac- cept the conditions of the United States. Further, if the discussion does not re- turn to the limits of the protocol. as viewed by the spaniards, the Spanish commissioners have decided, in spite of contrary reports, not to sign treaty of peace. It is also learned from the same source that complete accord prevails be- tween the Spanish government and it's peace commissioners.

WILL REFUSE TO SIGN.
Spanish Commissioners Reported as Be
 ing Against a Treaty of Peace.

Spanish Commissioners Reported as Be
 ing Against Treaty of Peace.
 Paris, Nov. 17.-The Spaniards de- clare that ti.eir refusal to sign treaty based on any Philippine terms thus far suggested by the United States is ire vocable. They say that tbey do not and cannot view the taking of the Philip pines as anything else than wantoa rayishment of their possessions, unless it is accompanied by financial consid- eration of appreciable size.
 Therefore the turn of events i'll the peace conference depends upon the pur- pose or willingness of the American commissioners to extend their financial terms Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines is now chung to by the Span- iards chiefly as means to obtain finan- cial relief if possible. It is almost pure- ly matter of money now, if the amount be large enough to absolye the Spanish government from possible charges by their creditors that the collateral has been given away Persons near to Spain's heaviest creditors believe that should the Americans assume the Phil ippine debt or pay Spain its face amount in cash the Spaniards would sign.
 This view is new in the quarters where it now prevails, because time has been required for the Spaniards to be- come convinced that the American com missioners do little if any diplomatic iockeying and that their final attitude may be found identical with their first
 If they have not already done so, tho Spanish commissioners will ultimately advise the Americans that they must not permit any controversy as to the binding character of tue mortgage resting upon the revenues of the Philippines to pay the socalled Cuban debt. Tenacious ad- herence to is claim would set upon the Spanish side an unltimatum under which no trelty would be signed which did not stipulate that the Philippine revenues should pay the Philippine debt. In such event the Americans would probably claim that the Philip pine debt of $40, 900, 900 amounts to s20,- ooo, ,0o0 in gold of which about $l1 ,OO0,- 900 has been employed in fighting the United States. leaving less than SIG, ,ooO,- 900 chargeabIe in gold to the Philippines.
