THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
The Philippines Still the Bone of
Contention.

Contention.
Special Dispatch to the Call
CALL OFFICE, R1aas HOUSE,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81
President Mckinley and Cabinet
members have no idea that Spain
will refuse to consider the demand
made by the American Commits
sioners and break off further negoti-
atoms.
The President believes that the
Spaniards will make counter propo-
sitions. These will be considered.
A close friend OF the President says
that it is expected by the admins
tration, Spain will willingly part
with the Philippines for moment
airy consideration. This sum will
be large one, and the whole ques-
ton is therefore practically resolved
into this: How much are the ISL
ands worth to us? If we cannot
acquire them as we did Porto Rico,
without paying, do we want them at
ala
Members of the Cabinet recall the
fact that we paid Mexico for terri
tory which we had already won by
conquest.
"Even after we had planted our
flag on the Capitol at the City OF
Mexico we did not care to annex any
of her territory without compensa-
ting the republic for it," said one
member, who added that, aside from
all other opinions, he believed the
people Of the country now desired
an end to the war. They were not
in favor of returning to fighting and
the maintenance Of large army if
there could be an honorable settle
ment of the question in dispute.
To secure this settlement, the
Philippines would either have to be
abandoned to the Spaniards or they
would have to be taken and cash
sum paid for just debts as existed.
He had no doubt the seizure of the
islands simply because this country
was in a position to do 30 would re-
suit in the resumption of war. Such
struggle might not last long, but
there would be greater cost involved
than in paying what appeared to be-
just to the defeated.
"The whole question:" he said,
sis one OF dollars and cents with the
Spaniards. 1t is for us to determine
how much we will pay. That is yet
to be decided and will not be an
swered for some time"

Aguinaldo Threatens to Outlaw the
Filipinos
MANILA, Nov. 2-Aguinaldo, the
insurgent chief, has issued procla-
nation, pointing out that, although
the stringent orders previously is.
sued by him have been generally
obeyed, few Filipinos have refused
obedience and offended in various

all such are forbidden to approach
the Notifications or take photo
graphs of defensive works.

City of Pittsburg on the ways were
knocked from under her and she slow
ly tipped on her side and with a sud-
den start slid down the ways and was
received by the waters of the Great
Ohio in which she will float with
pride.
A Leader representative was aboard
and enjoyed the ride down the ways.
AS the boat touched the water loud
shout rose from the large crowd who
had assembled to witness the launch
ing, and amid it's cheers, she was
christened The City of Pittsburg.
The boat is 29O feet long, 4S feet
beam and 6 foot hull.
The City of Pittsburg is the largest
boat ever built by the Knox Boat
Yards and when completed will be the
finest craft on the upper waters.
The City of Pittsburg is being built
for Capt. Scott and Pittsburg parties
and will ply the waters of the Ohio
between Pittsburg and Louisville.
She is of 1900 tons capacity and is
built for passenger and freight traffic.
The launch was a most successful
one in every sense of the word and
great credit is due to Capt. KNOX and
son.

Resolved, That in the Improvement
of the Ohio river between Pittsburg

been made and plans adopted by the
U. S. board of engineers, it is the
judgment of this convention that such
of the dams contemplated by those
plans should be first constructed as
will most promptly and effectually aid
the business interests of the Ohio val
ley, and we therefore respectfully but
earnestly recommend that provision
be made at once for the construction
| of dam a short distance below the
city of Wheeling. thereby forming a
harbor which will serve the immed late
needs of manufacturing community
of T5, 600 people on both sides of the
river and will enable boats to pass GER
| taiu points where a times the only OBJ
stacles to navigation between Pitts
burg and Wheeling are found, and rlso
for the construction of a dam at a
point Immediately belew Marietta,
which will hold at that point, end re-
tain in the pool above Marietta the
water flowing out of the Muskingum
river, thereby enabling boats to pass
certain points which are the serious
obstacles to navigation between
Wheeling and Marietta.
Mayor Richardson was appointed on

Spain's Stay-at- Homes.

Spain's stay-at-home warriors are
having hard time of it to explain to
the satisfaction Of the people just how
it all occurred. Aunon, the Minister
of Marine is coming in for his share
of the blame and is getting about the
worst blows. He is endeavoring to
show that he is not responsible for the
destruction of Cervera's fleet. 1t rests
between Blanco and Aunon, sure, but
the exact culprit has not been found.
One thing, however, is well estab-
lished, and that is, Cervera told all
concerned that an attempt to escape
meant the entire destruction Of his
feet, with great los of life. And his
prediction was most completely veri-
fed that Sunday when he made his
dash through the narrow entrance to
Santiago Harbor. 1t is not at all sin
gular that these stay-at-home war
riors, who so cruelty deceived the ma
tion from day to day, should now be
engaged in the selfish act OF white
washing themselves at the expense of
men who showed wonderful courage
in the face Of almost certain death.
Their exhibition is pitiful.-Com.T Trib-

Care for the Aged.

When a man or woman passes sew
enty years of age, great care should be
given to the conditions surrounding
him or her for the prolonging of life.
The vital forces are greatly enfeebled
at that period Of life, and the powers
OF resistance, in consequence Of age,
are the weakest. A man Of three score
years and ten, and over, is like an old
machine that by proper care given to
its conditions has been kept running
many years, and is still able to do
work, but its wheels and aXles and
pinions are much worn and rickity,
and IL it should be pushed, even to a
small extent, in excess of its dimin-
ished powers, it breaks down and can
not be repaired, for every part Of 1t
is shattered. But il worked carefully
and intelligently by a person who un-
derstands its conditions and knows its
capabilities, it can be kept in action a
much longer time than would be pos
sible IL a careless engineer controlled
1t. In these fast times, however, 1t is
generally not profitable to husband
the resources Of an old machine. But
this is not true as regards our old men
and women. 1t is desirable to hold on
to them as long as possible, and II we
can succeed in prolonging their lives
i've or ten years, or more, 1t will
greatly enhance our hapiness.-Medi.
