SPAIN'S PEACE PLANS.
If Correctly Reported May Lead
to Renewal of the War.

Paris, Sept. 27.-While the reception ac-
corded to the United States peace COM
mission here is all that could be desired,
and while the French foreign office has
taken great pains to treat the American
and Spanish commissions in precisely the
same manner. it must be admitted that
the general atmosphere of Paris, especial
ly the diplomatic atmosphere, does not in
cline toward America
1t IS the general impression here that
the american commissioners have 1nStruc-
lions to provide for the retention of Ma
Mia and the island Of Luzon, and for
commission TO pretend TO negotiate Is
farce, said a prominent diplomat He
America will put herself. dipIomatical-

come prepared to make concessions; but,

ally believed here to be the case, you can
mission will be futile. The Spaniards win
retire and America will at least have to
threat ten resumption of hOStilitieS be-
fore she will gain her point"
The French newspapers. beyond an
make no comment upon the matter
The American peace commission, for
drawing room of the Continental hotel.
Mr.. Ferdinand Peck. the United States
commissioner to the Paris exposition of
1900, is about to vacate his headquarters
in the same hotel They were formerly
occupied by the ex-Empress Eugene. and
have been used by Mr.; Peck as offices
until his permanent Offices on the expo
sition grounds were in readiness
The suite of rooms which the former en-
press at one time used will probably be
acquired by the American peace commits
SiOnerS. They will be used for executive
sessions and official headquarters.
As the joint commission is not a delib-
erative body, it will possibly not organize
with presiding member from either COM
mission
This is deemed in some quarters to be
the wiser plan, as tending to promote
closer working relatiOnss between the two
commissions and facilitating an ultimate
adjustment. This, however, is not posi-
tive.
Judge Day and Mr.. Whitelaw Reid are
CHARTERED at a hotel overlooking the Tuil-
leries gardens and the other commission
ers are equally comfortable.
The Americans enjoyed sunny weather
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.

HAYS SUCCESSOR.
Member of the Famous Adams Fam
lily Spoken OF

New York, Sept. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley is considering the
recommendation of prominent public
men Of Massachusetts that Governor
WolcOtt be appointed ambassador to
Great Britain. Notwithstanding the
strong Endorsements which the Massa-
in we'll Informed circles that he will be
rendered the position.
In any event the president does not
propose to make a selection until the
arrival of Colonel Hay, when the mat
ter will be discussed and settled . In
view OF the presidents desire to consult
with Colonel Hay, it is believed in some
quarters that Mr.. Mckinley will be
willing to accept a suitable man who
may be recommended by the new sec
rotary. The name of Henry Adams, a
warm friend of Colonel Hay, is men
toned in this connection.
Mr.. Adams is well known as a histOr-
ian and writer. While he has had no
diplomatic experience, it is recalled that
his father, Charles Francis Adams, was
minister to Great Britain during the
Adams. held the same position just be-
fore the war of 1872 and his great
grandfather, John Adams, was also
credited to the British government as
minister Immediately after the revOlu-
ton. Mr.. Adams is a highly educated
gentleman, a ready speaker and would,
his friends believe, creditably represent
this government at the court of St.
James.
Representative Hits name is only
mentioned in circles outside of the
white house, and it is generally con-
coded that he stands no chance for the
appointment

WORRY ABOUT CHINA.
There is Much Uneasiness in Diplo-
matte Circles

Washington, Sept. 27.-Mr. WI. Ting
Fling the Chinese minister, said today
that he had received no word concern
ing the reported death of the emperor
beyond the press reports. The troublus
condition of affairs in China is exciting
much apprehension here, mainly be-
cause of the threatening attitude of the
great powers, and their readiness to
seize upon any pretext for further en-
croachments upon Chinese territory. Fol-
lowing the return of the empress dow
ager to power, which was thought to
be a move in the interest of Russia, a
British fleet in said to be headed for
Taku leading to Pekin, for the purpose
of a demonstration.
1t is said by officials here that the
British have no reason to look with
disfavor on the return of the dOwager
empress. The British authorities have
been chiefly incensed against Ii Hung
Chang. who is regarded by them as
strongly favoring Russia, and they are
insistent that the dowager empress
shall not restore him to power. But the
understanding at the legation here IS
that there is no purpose to run counter
to British opinion in regard to Ii Hung
Chang. even though the empress dow
ager might personally desire to restore
him to the foreign Office.
