ALL PARTIES.

the late Sehor Canovas
Until the official account OF the peace negotia-
tions IS published. the utmost secrecy will be
observed.
The Spanish Cabinet met this afternoon, the
Queen Regent presiding, and the peace proposals
were discus ,ed Apparently no definite decision
was arrived at.
The consultations between the Premier and
the presidents Of the Chambers are said to be
really Of a national character. with view Oh
ascertalning the opinions Of all parties
The Government has not yet entered upon any
engagement regarding terms for concluding the
war with the United States. The Cabinet VIII

advisers.
All the leaders consulted thus far have OBJ
served the strictest reserve. with the exception
of Sehor Romero Robledo, the leader OF the

WHY SAGASTA Is so SLOW.

London. Aug 5-The Madrid correspondent Of
THE Times" says
Though peace is regarded assured. It may
not be attained so quickly is generally ex-
pected. Sehor Sagasta objects to being hustled.
and insists upon everything being done in a
quiet. orderly and dignifed manner. He con-
siders it necessary to have full and satisfactory
explanations as to all doubtful points in order
to enable him best to protect the national inter-
ess against the aggressive tendencies Of the
Washington Cabinet.
He has also to examine very minutely the
exigencies of the internal situation and home
politics. so as to avoid popular dissatisfaction
and political unrest. The Spanish people. though
sincerely desirous of peace. disposed to ad-
mire this hestancy and tenacious holding out
TIL the last. although aware that 1t implies
greater sacrifices
"As an illustration Of this feeling while Cen
eral Toral is blamed for capitulating at Santi-
ago. Captain General August continuing a
hopeless resistance at Manila. bids fair to be
popular hero.
1T would be premature to suppose that the
political consultations proceeding fore
shadow the resignation Of the Liberal Cabinet.
when peace is concluded The Conservatives
have so constantly and Loyalty supported Sa-
gasta throughout the war that no factous op-
position need be feared from them"
The Madrid correspondent of THE Daily
Mali says:
The Government has not yet answered the
Al erican note. nor received President Nc
Kinleys reply to the explanations asked sfor by
Sehor Sagasta. The Premier said to-day that
the Government would reply TO the American
demands early next week.
I'm consulting the party leaders Sagasta is
following the precedents Of Castelar,. when the
Nrginius affair threatened with the United
States 1t is not probable that he will resign

Washington Aug. "A long conference be-
tween the President and Secretary Day and
Secretary Long was held this forenoon. Secre-
tary Day. it may be said, has full confidence
that there will be little serious delay and bck-
ering over the closing OF the details Of peace.
A fortnight ago he was not confident. being
disposed to fear Spanish procrasination and
haggling over details To-day he expressed the
opinion personally. that he believed there
no longer danger on that score. and said that
policy seemed TO have been abandoned under
the stress of circumstances This expression
goes to confirm other indications that peace is
near at hand. Those who have gone over the
ground and conferred with the officials express
the belief that the outcome OF peace is very
nearly attained. One Administration public
man who talked with the President and others
to-day predicted that preliminary agreement
which would practically settle the war would
be effected within week.

A Sign Displayed In Shops Which Guard
Carefully Their Regulations.
"No Boxes Sold Here" is the sign
that hangs in one of the principal
jewelry establishm ents in the city. The
sign made its appearance after the shop
ping of one Christmas season. But there
is no time of the year in which the de-
mand for boxes is quite discontinued,
and the sign serves its purpose always.
The demand for boxes was prompted
by the amiable desire to deceive some
friend or relative into the belief that
the article presented to him came from
the best establishment in the city. Sim
liar attempts are made at the we'll
known glass and china shops, at one of
the we'll known French confectioners
and at all of the establishments which
have made a reputation in some par
ticular field.
Nearly all of these answer such ap-
plications with the words of the sign,
"No Boxes Sold Here" but there are
some few which sell them as regularly
as they do other objects of merchandise
and are quite Indifferent to what be-
comes of them so long as they get their
rather high prices for the empty boxes
bearing the name of the firm. Similar
indifference is shown by we'll known
English pickle factory, which allows
it's labels to be sold here and pasted
over any sort of stuff that the pur-
chaser Of them happens to concoct.-

The Nose Lasts Longest.

Bone and cartilage enter so largely
into the structure of the nose and de-
termine it's characteristics that it IN
dergoes little perceptible change, as a
rule, with the lapse of years The brow
becomes wrinkled, and crows feet
gather round the eyes, which them
selves gradually grow dim as time rolls
on. Cheeks lose the bloom which COS
metics cannot replace and lips their
fullness and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
irregularities or globularities, as the
case may be, and the eyebrows become
heavy with the crop of many years
growth. The nose shows no mark COM
parable to these familiar facial indica-
tions of the approach of old age and
practically enjoys immunity from the
ravages which time makes on the other
features of the face. Next to the nose,
probably the ears, as rule, show the
fewest and least obvious signs Of old
age.

Tile Southern Pacific is about the

The Southern Pacific has such plain

hair, stature, weight, complexion and
other details of the physical make up.
