According to E. G. Cooke, the advance
agent of the little midget, Jimmy Michael,
who was in this city few hours Friday.
Michael seriously contemplated going to
Indianapolis next week and attend the
races at the national meet of the League
of American wheelmen, not in the capac-
ity of a participant, but as a spectator.
When he had this idea in mind the whole
of the coming week was not filled with a
single date. Owing to the fact that the
people in Baltimore and Washington were
anxious to secure his services to ride, es-
pecially J. d. Lasley. the president of the
Park Bicycle Club, he determined to for
go his trip West, and authorized his
managers TO go ahead and arrange races.
This they did with a vengeance. The
midget will ride more next week than
he has at any time during the present
year. Not counting his race yesterday
he will ride tomorrow in this city, Tues
day in Baltimore, and Saturday at the
Manhattan Beach track, making in all
three events on the program. 1t will
be a week of hard work for the midget.

spain's Latest Stand May Make That
8 Necessary.
< Paris, November IT, The clerical force
of the American peace commission Was
busy nearly all night in translating the
Spanish memorandum presented at yester-
days joint SO ssion.
While the translators and typewriters
were rendering the Sp anish argument in
to English, the counsel for the American
commission studied it sheet by sheet
making notes OF records to be exami ned
and of law points bearing on the matter
In hand.
AS a result, when the Americans
gathered for their daily session today the
Spanish presentment lay before them in
English, ready for consideration andsac-
companied by data bearing upon it.
No unofficial person knows the contents
of the dooument presented by the Spanish
issiouers yesterday, but it Is safe to
assume that added to her insistence on
the reservation of her Philippine sover-
eighty and her proposition to arbitrate the
construction of the third article Of the
protocol Spain has made two othsr i'm
portant statements.
First-That on the high ground of
financial probity she cannot allow any
discussion here of the validity of her
action in pledging the resources OF the
Philippines for the payment of the
Philippine debt.
Second-That in connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain for
her pacific expenditures in the Philip.
pines, she cannot admit OF any inquiry as
to hew she has spent the proceeds OF the
loans based on the Philippine pledges. :,
II Spain has assumed this attitude, ana
1T Is believed she has done so, she practi-
cally compels the American commission
ers to consider at least the entire Philip
pine debt and It's assumption by the
United States Of this Philippine islands as
to Spatn's amicable surrender OF ner
sovereignty over those islands.
1t is difficult to understand how the
Americans can reply to this In any other
manner than by striotly outlining their
position aud giving the Spaniards time
limit in which to accept the propositions
OF the United States.
Bat the American commissioners may
patiently continue their endeavors to ar
rive at an aInicable understanding on tne
subject.
