Is Strong Against Kang- Yu. Wei-French and
German Demands.

Pekin, Dec. THE anger Of the Dow
ager Empress at kang Yu-Wei the
Cantonese reformer, is said to- have Gull
minated in secret order sent to the
Chinese minister at Todio, Japan, in
structing the latter to capture Kang-
Yu-Wei at all costs

SIGN, SATURDAY.
The Peace Commissioners Will
Finish Work, This Week.
Minor Points All that Now Remain Of
the Treaty to Be Settled.
Commercial Treaty and Resumption Of DipIo-
matte Relations will Be Included.

Paris, Dec. There was no joint
session of the peace commissions, to-
day, as the Spaniards are still occupied
in translating the Americans answer
to their proposals in regard to the
status of Spanish subjects in the an
nexed territory. AS cabled, yesterday
evening, the eight principal articles Of
the treaty are settled and all that re-
mains for the commissions to attend
to is the settlement of the minor points
of the treaty. The latter will probably
be signed on Saturday next.
Secretary Ojeda of the Spanish COM
mission said, today: 1T is very painful
for us to remain here haggling over de-
tails since the main points have been
settled and we have been obliged to
relinquish our colonies.
"All the work will be finished, this
week. The commercial treaty between
the United States and Spain will be
negotiated upon and the re-establish-
ment of diplomatic relations and the
question of Spanish ships and products
in Cuba and Porto Rico will be IN
cluded therein

At the opening of the Sen
ate's session. today. Hawley
Conn, chairman of the military affairs
committee. introduced a bill for the re-
organization Of the regular army.
Hoar, Mass. secured the adoption OIL
resolution that a committee of sever
senators be appointed by the chair tc
whom shall be referred that part of tbs
Presidents message which relates tt
| the celebration of the centennial of ths
city of Washington as capital of the
| United States.
| At 12.26 the Senate went into execu-
| tive session.
| The Senate had a long debate in ex-
ccutive session. today, upon the subject
| Of confirmation of the Hawaiian COM
missioners. The debate was started by
| Senator Hoar. who made a vigorous
| protest against the practice of appoint
| ing senators upon such a commission
He said the senators were, when ap-
pointed, acting under the direction OF
and became the duly authorized agents
of the president. to carry out his ideas
and wishes. What became of their
functions as senators, he asked, when
the report they make, as in case of thu
Hawaiian commission. came before the
Senate, coordinate branch of the
government? In the case of the joint
high commission now negotiating a
treaty with Great Britain, and the
peace commission now in Paris, there
We're the same objections, but applied
with greater force.
Senators held aloof from such posi-
tons because their acts as commission
ers were to be passed upon by them
selves as senators, very reprehensibi.a
practice. in the opinion of Hoar. Ha
intimated that senators acting for the
President as commission. which when
dealing with foreign country had to
act as a body. might be placed in the
position of supporting a cause which
they rs senators would object. The
method of appointing senators on COM
missions was defended by Morgan and
Platt, Conn.,, who claimed there was
nothing inconsistent in SO doing.
The debate then became someWha t
general and the constitutional preroga-
tives of the President and the rights
of the Senate We're discussed at length
upon the legal and technical phase Of
the subject.
Other speakers in the controversy
were Chandler and Bacon in opposition
to the too free exercise by the Presi-
dent of the power of appointment Of
senators to other positions, They
pointed out that there was a law on the
statute books inhibiting citizens from
holding two offices with pay at the
same time and insisted that such ap-
pointments were contrary to the spirit
of American Institutions.
Aldrich was among those who con-
tended for the right of the President
to call into service of the country tall
ents of members of Congress in other
lines than those in which their offices
indicated. The contention on this side
was to the effect that the practice was
an old one. and they cited supreme
court decision to show that two offices
might be occupied by the same person
in CAKES where the services did not con-
fiict.
The Senate in executive session con-
tirmed the appointment of Hon. John
Hay as secretary of state.

The Commercial CLUB would confer a
boon upon the community by taking
steps to procure government building
in North Yakima. This city is entitled
to building at once, and the comfort
and convenience of the public, to say
nothing OF the officials, makes such an
improvement imperative. The spectacle
of a dozen government officials huddled
together in The small and lily adapted
land offices is not an edifying one. Here
in this city are the register and receiver
of the land office, the United States COM
missioner, deputy United States marshal,
deputy internal revenue collector. three
Indian commissioners occasionally, and
the postmaster without adequate accomo-
dations. The probable addition OF a Fed
eral court here, with its numerous ret-
nue. of officials all combine to make such
a building Indispensable, both now and
in the future. Let us have some express
sion OF our citizens on this subject.

A respectable job" is the way a New
York doctor puts it when he speaks of
patching up q man as follows: The
patient blew off the front and left side of
his face with gun and the doctors pro-
pose to replace the nose with one of Gel
luloid or rubber and the cheek bone and
bone over the eye with plates Of silver or
platinum. Over these foundations they
will graft skin taken from the mans
thighs, and when all this has been done
will give him a new eye of glass. When
the doctors have finished their work he
can never call himself self.made man.

thrilling adventures from her first appear
ance as resident of Paradise Alley until

four acts ia carried. Numerous high

IMPROVE THE NATIONAL GUARD

The call for national convention TO
suggest and formulate plans for reorgan-
izing the national guard is certainly a
move in the right direction. Our recent
experience showed that an entirely new
company could be formed and mustered
in and equipped rs quickly as militia
company could be examined and mus
tered in and equipped. The militia or
some help, perhaps, but they fell 80 far
short of what they ought to be that the
present effort at lettering conditions
ought to be welcomed most cordially.
The convention has been called to meet
at Tampa, Florida, Feb. s, and it's object
will be to aid the government in placing
the national guard on the most effective
footing possible. The state superintend-
ent of schools in Florida has invited the
superintendents in all the other states to
he present at this gathering to consider
the introduction OF a military drill sys-
TEN for the public schools. Few people
realize the real pleasure such a plan
would bring to the boys Of our land or the
practical results, both physical and pat
riotic, that would result from it.
Take the tin off the national guards
man and make real soldier of him.
Secure an able bodied membership. fur
nish first-class equipment, insist upon
thorough drilling, even if small pay
ment has to be allowed for every drill.
Keep the standard up so that IN time of
need no further examination or equipping
will be necessary and give the organizs-
an assurance that in time of war it will
he made a part of the U. S. army in toto
We say all hail to the Florida convention
or any other forward movement along
this line
