New York: There was a rather common
decline realizatfons when the official
announcement was received that the Span
ish government had accepted the terms of
the United States. The strength of the
speculation is doubtless to be explained
by the indica tons Of the renewed none
abroad has passed away and that means
prolonged cheapness of loanable capital
in New York. The St. Paul company
made a striking gain yesterday in net
to suppose that the ratio of October i'm
provement will be kept up in regard to the
general list; most issues occupy a position
like that of st. Paul, varying only in de-
gree. The promise in most instances is
that there Will be a material increase in
the dividend earning capacity of the coun-
try's transportation lines. 1t is by
means small significance that eastbound
tonnage from Chicago was reported last
week at LOG, 1O3, against "a ,945 in the previ-
Gus week and, to go back to the early au-
tumn. 52113 tons for the week ending Sep

favorable to warrant any railroad situa-

of the controversies in the Parcffc mort H.

eral investment position.

A GENERAL HANGING
Is Imminent in a Mining Town of
Arizona.

Prescott, Ariz., Nov. 29.-The recent
murder of VIM. Segna at Weaver, a
Mexican adobe town south of this city,
is one of a score that has taken place
in late years without a single convic-
ton. Segna was horribly butchered and
three Mexican bandits have been ar
rested, accused of the crime. Public
feeling is rampant at the scene of the
recent murder and open threats are
made by the white people of the or
ganization of a vigilance committee to
drive the entire population out or else
resort to indiscriminate hanging.
Weaver is the scene of the richest
gold placering district in Arizona and
is exclusively Mexican in population.

PEACE COMMISSION
About Decided Upon

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The cabinet
meeting today was attended by all the
members of the presidents official
family except Secretaries Alger and
Long, who are out of the city. In the
cabinet the personnel of the peace
commission was discussed. It was an
nounced that Whitelaw Reid. of New
York, had accepted a place on the
commission making the fourth men,
Der.
Justice White of the supreme court
declined the proffered place, but mes
sage was sent urging him to reconsider
and accept. The message was in such
terms that the members of the cabinet
expect the justice will yield to the in
sistence of the president. The cabinet,
it is understood, discussed also the in
struction tsShe furnished the military
commissioners appointed to supervise
the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico.
They are completed now and were ap-
proved by the cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The pres
ident received dispatch from White
law Reid accepting the offer of a place
on the peace commission. There was
a report in official circles this after
noon, which was generally credited,
but which is not yet confirmed, that
Justice White declined to become a
member of the commission. In that
case it is possible Justice McKenna of
California may be named.
Senators Davis and Frye left town
this morning, the former going to New
York, the latter to Maine. The full
commission will probably meet here
next week after the presidents return
from Pennsylvania.
The names of the five men who have
been selected to act for the United
States on the peace commission are:
VIM. r. Day, secretary of state;
Cushman K. Davis, Unit
ed States senator from Mime
sofa and chairman OF the committee
on foreign relations: VIM. P. Frye,
United States senator from
Maine, member of the COM
mittee on foreign relations:
Whiteiaw Reid, proprietor of the
New York Tribune, and nominal
editor; and Associate Justice E. D.
White of Louisiana, member of the
supreme court. The last Is doubtful.
Senators Davis and Frye are active
expansionists, and while they are
fully cognizant of the feeling in the
senate on the matter, and will be es-
pecially valuable to the commission on
that account, at the same time they are
men of sufficient influence to carry con-
siderable weight with them.
