EARLY PEACE
IS ASSURED.
Mckinley Has the Reply
of Spain.
CERTAIN CONCESSIONS WANTED
viii Accept with Little Change-She
Wants to Retain All Her Military Prop
erty in Cuba ana Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Am early
cessation of hostilities is assured
SPANS reply to the terms of peace
proposed by the United States was
presented to President Mckinley by
Ambassador CambOn yesterday af-
ternoon, having been received by NJ.
Cambon the night before.
The reply was not conclusive.
Spain is still hopeful of securing
further concessions and is apparent
ly afraid to agree to the general
terms proposed without knowing
more of the details that will be in
sisted upon. In the conferences that
followed the delivery of the reply,
M. Cambon sought to be more fully
informed as to these details. All
members of the Cabinet are extreme
ly reticent as to the progress made
in these conferences, which lasted
until late hour last night.
1t is believed that several more
notes will be exchanged before an
agreement is reached, but little
doubt is felt at Washington that
Spain is prepared to accept what
ever the United States imposes as
the terms of peace.
Among the details about which
Spain wants an understanding in ad-
vance is the manner of evacuating
Cuba and Porto Rico. She wants to
be allowed to take away al her mil
itary property. The Spanish note
also wants to know who is to pay for
the transportation of her troops to
Spain and who is to maintain order
in the islands pending the evacua-
ton.

of legislation are polluted To legalize
the traffic Of such service, would open
door at which fraud and falsehood
would not fail to enter and make them
selves felt at every accessible point. 1t
would invite their presence and offer
them premium. II the tempted agent
be corrupt himself and disposed to cor
rupt others, the transition requires but
a single step. He has the means in his
hands, with every facility and strong
incentive to use them. The wide
spread suspicion which prevails, and
charges openly made and hardly denied,
lead to the conclu: ion that such events
are not of rare occurrence. Where the
avarice of the agent is inflamed by the
hope of reward contingent upon sue
cess, and to be graduated by a percent
age upon the amount appropriated, the
danger of tampering in its worst form
is greatly increased.
at is by reason of these things that
the law is as it is upon the subject. 1t
will not allow either party to be led in
to temptation where the thing to he
guarded against is so deleteriOus to
private morals and so Injurious to the
public welfare In expressing these
views we follow the lead of reasln and
authority.
or American jurisprudence like the one
here under consideration, where the
agreement has not been adjusted to be
illegal and void We have said that for
professional services in this cOnnec-
ton just compensation NAV be reCOv-
cred. Blu: where they are blended aud
confused with these which are forbid
den, the whole is unit and indivisi
BILE. That which is bad destroys that
which is good, and they perish together.
Services of the latter character, gratuit-
ously rendered, are not unlawful. The
absence of motive to wrong is the foun-
dation of the sanction. The tendency
to mischief, if not wanting, is greatly
lessened. The faint lies in the stipula-
ton for pay. Where that exists, it
affects fatally, in all its parts, the entire
body of the contract. Where there is
turpitude, the law will help neither
| party.

scented to have been a lawyer of ability
and high character. The appellee is
said to be equally worthy. This car

to bear in mind that the duty of the
church touching this matter does not
depend upon the intent that prompted
the parties in making the representa-
tions, but upon whether the representa-
tons were false and calculated to de-
ceive. Freedom from any intended de-
ception may acquit the agents of any
personal wrong, but if the repres enta-
lions, as a matter of fact, were false and
deceptive and the church knowingly
retains the fruit of such deception, it
cannot acquit itself of wrong by plead
ing the good intentions of its agents.
The question, then, is not what were
the intentions of the agents, but what
were the representations they made
and were they false and calculated to
deceive.

Investigating Committee discloses the

already appeared ia these columns.
The writer concludes his article as
follows:l
In conclusion l wish to say that I
think the worst thing connected with
this whole matter is that some of our
ministers think it right even now for
the church to retain this money. Many
things might be said i'm extenuation of
the actions of our agents. Their zeal
for the church and the excitement
attending the matter may have uncon-
sciously carried them too far, but this
cannot be said of the man who, with
an Ihe tacts before him, calmly decides
that the church should keep the money.

) The Lighthouse Board has issued the
following very important order: h
Notice is hereby given that on and after
Tuesday, April 26. 1898, and.until further
orders. all channels Heading to Portland
harbor from sea will be closed to naviga
ton by system OF explosive torpedoes
and all masters of vessels are forbidden te
attempt to pass through any except the
channel from the southwark, between
Portland Head ard Gushing Island. In
using this channel caution must be ex-
erc;sed, and the following directions be
carefully followed:
Five black and white perpendicular
striped spar buoys, placed one quarter of
= mile apart, on line of bearing N. by
W. one.quarter W. and S. by E. one
quarter E., will mark the safe channel,
and vessels entering or passing out, should
