THEY ARE FAIR
American Peace Commissioners
Will Consider Every Propc-
sitiOn Of Spain
And in So Doing Will Ha7p
Enough to Keep Them
Busy.
The Philippines Question Not
Yet Reached in the De.
alterations.
When 1t Does Come Up the
Full Diplomatic Tension
Will Be On.

PARIS, Oct. l0.-The United States
peace commissioners began their usua.
three hours session at 10 o'clock q. III.
They are understood to have taken
into consideration direct suggestions
and counter propositions from the
Spanish, Of which the Americans now
have enough to engage their attention
at the daily sessions. 1t may be re.
garded as quite likely that the Span.
Iards have already outlined their ap.
parent expectations and that they are
beyond the line Of possible acquiescence
by the Americans. The latter are now
ACTING along we'll considered lines, con.
sistently and with a definite end in
view. They have to SOME degree dis.
closed Americal expectation and deter.
mlnation, The spaniards, however,,
Seem unabls OF snvilling to under.
stand or belieys llls Americans may
or nave a!!he oatsst set forth their
requirements, aud that they are DIES.

tore it i no! unlikely that the Amer!.

thorough consideration Of all the orig.
iual counter proposit!ols, will, to the
limit Of fruitful possibility, accord pa.
tient consideration q aught projected
by the Spaniards. Thus, it IS fair 70
conclude, that the Americals' daily
sessions during the recess Intervals
viii be fnily ensrossed. While the
Philippians have not yet been reached
IN the deliberations. this question is
doubtless relatively not far distant, and
at that point is likely to come to the
full stress of diplomatic controversy.
Referring TO the Philippine phase OF
the negotiations, The Gaulois says:
The question was somewhat
touched upon, though not discussed
Friday, but there vas enough to iadi
cate serious difficulties when it doe
come up.

OF this city is the attorney for the can.

will be used there. Ultimately a dozen
plants will bs erected III Germany,

TROUBLE AT TIRDEN.
Twenty-Five Hundred Armed Miners Be-

ing Organized Into Squads.
CARL1Ny1LLE, Ills, Oct. 1.-The
town OF Nlrden prerents a decidedly
martial aspect, fully $500 armed min.
ers being organized into squads which
patrol the railroad tracks and high.
ways. The men when relieved from
duty7sleep in barns, empty storerooms,
box cars and on the sidewalks, wher.
ever room can be found. Mayor Noll
has issued orders closing all saloons
while the present trouble lasts. Com.
mlssary arrangements for feeding the
miners have been perfected.
The strikers are not molesting the
company's plant. Manager Lukens,
fearing an attempt to destroy the stock.
ade would be made, called on Sheriff
Davenport for deputies. The leading
merchants offered to go on the bonds
of a number Of Virden miners, who
own their own homes, if they were
sworn in az deputies by the sheriff,
guaranteeing the company's property
would not be molested as long as
the negroes We're not in sight.
Their offer was refused by Lukens. A
brother Of Sheriff Davenport spent the
night III the ~stcckade, which is in
charge Of 30 ex.Chicaso policemen.
Manager Lukens reaffirmed his pur.
pose OF bringing in Alabama negroes,
and insisted that the sheriff be ia read.
mess to invoke state aid. The sheriff
says he will do his duty, and will only
call on Governor Tanner as a last
resort.
The operators Of the Chicago and
Alton district are bitter in their declar.
tions that they are victims of the in.
trigues Of operators in the district who.
they aver, are aiding the strikers in
keeping the plants idle. They claim
that there is a mbine to keep the
product of their mines out of the mar.
