WHO OUR MEN CONFRONT.

The personnel of the Spanish side Of
the Paris Peace Commission is one or
interest. Perhaps the most prominent
figures in it will be the Spanish coun-
sci, Senors Montero Rios and Attor-
ney Garnica. They are old juriscon-
suits, have been many years associates
and have high standing as expounders
of the law. Rios was one of the fore
most supporters of Amadeus. On his
fall he went over to Gorilla, and when
the Spanish republic failed, he welcom-
ed the restoration with open arms. He
is so versatile in his political allegiance
that should Carlos come to the throne
he would be the first to prove that he
believed in his cause all the while But
Rios is a very able man before tri-
bunal and a fine logician, while Gar
MICA is an indomitable worker, and one
Of the best lawyers Of Europe.
The most accomplished member Of
the Spanish side, we are told, is VIII
laurutia, late Minister at Brussels. He
has been chief Legation Secretary at
Washington and at Paris, Minister at
The Hague and Under Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs at Madrid. Having
lived in England and the United States,
he has acquired perfect command of
the English language, and his elocution
is admirable. He is noted as a lee
turer on European politics, is an ac-
complished literary scholar and a fine
linguist. But he is subject to flattery,
is much influenced by his surroundings,
and those who know how to manage
him find it not difficult to do so, as
he is very impressionable.
Abazzuza, another Commissioner,
was educated in England has perfect
command of the English language, and
is a polished man all around. He has
served as ambassador at Paris, has
been Minister Of the Colonies, IS very
rich, a, great lover of outdoor sports,
and is a strong champion Of CASTELAR,.
Cerero is a refined, we'll read man,
we are informed has military titles.
with no experience in war, but is recog-
nized as an authority in military his
tory. Our Commissioners are confront
ed, therefore, by men of ability, accom-
pIishments and shrewdness, and these
are backed by the man with whom
they must be in constant consultation.
the man behind them all, Senior Cas-
tillo, the Spanish Embassador at Paris,
as shrewd and dangerous a diplomat
as Spain has.
But we apprehend that the American
Commissioners will prove matches for
these Spanish intellects. They have not
been SO distinguished in the diplomatic
world, but they have what is better
than art, the power of the victor and
the consciousness of right. According
to the dispatches Of yesterday, the
American Commissioners in the very
first set-to of intellect so successfully
called down the Spaniards, that they
felt obliged to ask an adjournment that
the issue joined-whatever it was
might be referred back to Madrid.

Weather Forecast.

Finally our party triumphed, but,
alas, it has brought no relief to our
suffering people. The benefit of
that triumph has amounted to no
more that the distribution of a few
official prizes to the friends and
relatives OF wealthy aristocrats and
to the henchmen OF political
bosses. There are, Of course, ex-
ceptions, but this has been the rule.
Wealth is still the standard OF re-
speotabi1ity, just as it was under
Republican Administered tions, and
the rights and wishes Of the great
Democratic masses OF the country
are just as completely ignored

A CURTAILMENT.
The Cotton Manufacturers Agree tc
Shut Down for Four Weeks.
It's Possible That Further Curtailment
Will Be Ordered Later On-This is an
Outcome of Long Period of Dull
ness in the Dry Goods Trade.4

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. 21.-A ma.
iority of the Fall River cotton manu-
facturers Thursday ratified the pool
ing agreement and the policy of cur
failing production proposed recently.
An attempt was made early in the year,
but it failed. The goods which are to
be placed in the hands of these trus-
tees are: Twenty-four inch "a by GAS;
"a inch Ga by COS; % inch Sc by SOS; %
inch by Cos; comprising the bulk of the
print goods made here.
The mills that do not desire to cur.
tail agree to pay in half a cent per
spindle for every week that they run
in excess of the time set for such cur
tailment. The agreement calls for
four weeks curtailment of production
in the next three months. The goods
to be pooled include those now made
and those to be made in the next five
months.
It is possible that further curtail-
ment may be ordered later, but the
exact dates of the shutdown of the
mills are not stipulated. The agree
ment will not 60 into effect until GER
tain details now being considered are
perfected. The sales are to be made
through the regular channels. The
new arrangement is the outcome of
long period of dizziness in the goods
market

GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE.
The Fashoda Incident Not Closed and BotA
Countries Seem to Be Prepar-
ing for a Conflict.

PARIS, Oct 22.-Mai Marchand has
been heard from. His report, upon
which much depends, reached Cairo
Thursday and has been forwarded to
Paris by telegraph in cipher, and the
work of deciphering began Friday
morning. 1t is asserted that the re-
port makes no mention Of the visit CT
Gen. Kitchener to Fashoda.
1t gives, it is said, only an account
of the march of the expedition, with
mention of the places occupied, and an
encounter with Dervishes.
1t is believed in some quarters that
Capt Maratier is the bearer of a re-
port which the French are not will
ing to trust upon British telegraph
lines
Not a man was lost by Marchand in
his march.
The Radical says it is informed that
Premier Brisson has no intention of
resigning.
Preparations for war by France and
England continue to agitate press and
public. 1t was thought some days ago
.ically settled, and a semi-official an
nouncement to that effect was promul-
gated. But a snag seems to have loom
ed up somewhere, and talk of war and
preparation for such an event occupy
public attention.
The French press is in no manner
harsh in its comment. Their under
lying tone indicates a belief that the
negotiations will reach an amicable
conclusion.
PARIS. Oct GA remarkabl BILE change
has come over French opinion on the
Fashoda question during the last As
hours. The attitude of the public is
more inf1amed and more defiant. This
is partly due to the tone of the British
press, but more to the threatening
speech of the British chancellor of the
eXchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
which the Autorite calls "A provoca-
ton that is almost threat of war"
The municipal council of Paris is
accused on all sides of exhorting the
government to avert war. In govern
ment circles the disposition seems to
be to resist the British demands.
1t is reported that the policy of
France, as definitely stated to Great
Britain, includes the retention of Fa-
shOda. RumOrS that the foreign minis
ter, Count Muravieff, has assured NJ.
Del Cassee, the French foreign minis
ter, of Russia's support in the contro-

ner two weeks have passed and no re-
