Sustaining His Reputation.

A story is told Of the Prince de Cont,
whose reputation for cruelty stood high.
He was going to mass with some ladies.
when his bailiff asked for instructions
concerning poacher who had just been
caught on the grounds.
"Give him 100 stripes and imprison him
in dungeon for two years, was the an
swer.
One lady. horror stricken, went to the
bailiff afterward, but he only laughed in
her face.
"The prince only said that to keep up
his reputation. His royal highness came
to me directly after mass and begged me
to see that the poor wretch was only sent
away from the neighborhood for two
months, and that his family was we'll look
ed after during his absence. Syracuse

uNAPPREcIATED GIFTS.
Philanthropy That Was Inexplicable to
Those who Profited by 1t.


A gentleman who gave six drinking
fountains to Boston in 1856 has had some
queer experiences in his attempts to give
like benefits to other places. He has busi-
ness interests in western city OF large
size, and, as he realized the need there OF
public drinking fountains, he went some
time ago to the mayor of that city to make
formal offer of gift Of nine such foun-
tains The mayor was more than sur
prised and had long interview with the
would be benefactor, during which he
tired to discover his object in making the
gift. He failed to be impressed by the sim
Pile statement that, beyond filling the pub
lie need of just such fountains, there was
no motive to prompt the offer. The mayor
was incredulous, and the generous offer
was thought to be the harmless work of
crank. Indeed the Boston man who
made the offer of the gift afterward heard
that the mayor had spoken of his inter
view with crank" to those whom he
consulted regarding the matter. 1t was
only after considerable persuasion and ex-
ercise of diplomacy that his gift Of the nine
fountains was accepted. They have been
in position for some time now.
In another instance the same benefactor
noted the need of street signs in town
which he from time to time visited He
offered to furnish free several hundred Of
these, made of iron, and had difficulty in
making the gift acceptable. Even after
this was brought about 1t was a long time
before the town would stir itself to the
point of placing the signs in position. He
once gave small library to town which
had none, feeling that it would be an ex.
cellent nucleus from which to build up a
better library. The town accepted the
books with some misgivings as to his san.
ity apparently, SO unusual did 1t seem to
the town fathers to have stranger inter.
ested enough in their welfare to make SC
generous gift. The books, by the way,
were placed in room set apart for them
and then were practically let severely alone
by the people of the town, who failed to
realize the intended kindness to them

Chicago, March 3.-Traffic officials of

More Incidents in Favor of Outsid
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1898-11-18

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE admins
tration feels encouraged over the outlook
for successful termination of the labors
of the peace commissioners IN Paris.
Whether this renewed confidence is
based upon the abstract of the Spanish
reply which was submitted at yesterday
meeting, or is founded upon private ad-
vices indicating a weakness of the Span
ish position, is not known, but it is
probable both of these influences con-
tribute to the Frightening of prospects.
The Spanish reply was no surprise to
the American commissioners, who in
fact had prepared themselves III advance,
with instructions received directly from
the president and Secretary Hay, for
complete answer.
The attempt of tae Spanish commits
sioners to induce the Americans to
adopt their construction of the meaning
of the protocol where it touches on the
Philippines has been fiat failure. The
president himself was a party to the
preparation of the protocol. 1t was he
who, suspecting the purpose of the Span
ish side to beclcud the issue and leave
an open door for future escape from the
consequences of the war, had swept aside
as so much chaff the message of the
| Spanish duke, Almadovar de Rios, ano
reducing the demands of the United
States to what is called a precisis, hai
declared the Spanish government may
accept that as an exact statement of the
demands of the United States. Having
made the document, the president be
lieves himself to be the person bes
competent to construe its meaning, anC
the American commissioners are con
sequently acting in conformity will
his views.

at so cents

MANILA Nov. 16.-General Otis, the
commander of the American forces, re-
Gently proposed to Aguinaldo that he
release the friars and civilians held in
captivity throughout the provinces. The
insurgent leader denied their maltreat-
ment, and refused to release them,
claiming that the civilians had enlisted
as volunteers. and, therefore were legit-
innate prisoners of war. Aguinaldo also
denied that women and children were
detained, but said some women and
children had voluntarily accompanied
their husbands and fathers into captiv-
ity.
As to the friars, Aguinaldo argues that
they are prohibited by the pope from &C.
cepting parochial appointments; that
they are only permitted to follow monas-
tic lives and that the parishes are en-
trusted to meubers of the independent
monastic order.

CONTROL TO BE
SURRENDERED
Only Things to Be Settled Are Rights
of Spain to Sell the Bronze Cannon
and Our Responsibility For the
Public Buildings Debt.

New YORK, Nov. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
The American and Spanish commits
sioners in agreeing on Jan. 1st as the
date for the Spanish evacuation of Cuba
took precedent from the treaty Of
peace signed fifty years ago between the
United States and Mexico when ah
agreement was made as to the time
when American occupation should cease.
Then as now, it was known that all the
troops could not be embarked by the
date agreed upon.
theoretically the Spanish occupation
will cease January 1st, though it is be-
lieved that 25,00O Spanish troops will
still remain in Cuba. These men will
continue to occupy their barracks until
they leave for the peninsula.
1t was agreed that all arms save those
in position should be returned to Spain,
There yet remains to be settled the right
OF Spain to sell the bronze cannon and
to have pay for the public buildings on
the island.
General Green expects the first troops
to reach Havana about November 25th'
Colonel Hecker, who has heretofore
counseled delay, now thinks the time
has arrived for vigorous action. The
weather being settled he would bring
the troops at once.
Stories are current here in Spanish
circles that the Cubans at Marianao, in
Pinar del Rio, and at other camps are
burying arms and ammunition for the
purpose of providing for possible diff
culties with the Americans. 1t is started
that these arms are to be stored in secre
hiding places until a definite declaration
of policy is made by the American gov
ernment. The Cubans strongly den!
the truth of these rumors, and of cours
they cannot be confirmed.

No trouble is more common or more

People ha wing it think that their nerves

mischief is lost sight of: the stomach is

Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in their stomachs,
nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms
of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep-
sia shows itself not 80 much in the stom-

some cases the heart palpitates and is

Agen was riding on a handcar toward

them. Section Foreman Nelson jumped
off the trestle and broke his arm. HIS
brother attempted TO jump, but his coat

ARBITRATION
QUESTION CLOSED
Spanish Claim is Probably That Spain's
Action in Pledging the Resources
of the Philippines and Her Dis
yosal of the Philippines is Not
Open for Discussion.

PARIS, Nov. 17.-At the daily session
of the American peace commissioners,
the Spanish memorandum presented at
yesterdays joint session was up for con-
sideration. No unofficial persons know
the contents of the document, but it is
safe to assume that, added to her in
sistence on the reservation of her Philip
pine sovereignty and her proposition to
arbitrate the construction of the third
articles of the protocol, Spain has made
two other important statements:
First, that on the high ground of fl
nancial probity she connot allow any
discussion here of the validity of her
action in pledging the recourses of the
Philippines for payment of the'Philip-
pine 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 inquire
as to how she spent the proceeds of the
loans based on Philippine pledges.
If Spain has assumed this attitude,
and it is believed che has done so, she
practically compels the American COM
missioners to consider at least the en-
tire Philippine debt and its assumption
by the United States.
1t is difficult TO understand how the
Americans can reply to this in any other
manner than by outlining their position
and giving the Spanish a time limit in
which to accept the proposition OF the
United States.
