Madrid, Aug. 30.-The Impartial to-
day, referring to the cars peace note,
expresses the belief that his majesty's
procurement can hardly come from a
mere dreamer. 1t adds: W. urge
Spain to pay close attention TO the mat
ter, az assuredly Spain is not the power
least interested In it,"
The Liberal 4. of the opinion that the
czar's object was to avert a threaten
ing rupture Of views which prevails.
adding: The work Of the Hispano-
American commission in Paris is hardly
worthy of mention in comparison with
the proposed conference, which ought to
be attended by the United States as
well as Europe; for should war break
out and extend from the Mediterranean
to the China sea, Spain must awake In
order to preserve the little she has man
aged to save from the ruin"

London. Aug. 3O.-The Daily Graphic
SAYS that Lord Salisbury In 1883 COM
municated 10 Emperor William a MEM
orandum showing the tremendous cost
OF armed Europe. Emperor William
was so impressed that he privately in
timated his intention to summon . dis

German press ventilated the idea, with
the result that SO muCh luminosity was
revealed on the part Of France that the
kaiser abandoned the project.
The 81. Petersburg correspondent OF

the idea originated entirely with En-
peror Nicholas. There is much scepti-

I'm Memory of the American General.
Quebec, Aug. 30.-The work Of the ar
filtration committee is evidently increas-
ing each day, more time being devoted
to the sessions. Tonight the American
commissioners ave Cancelled all social
engagements and are holding a session
by Iamplight. What they are discussing
or what was discussed at their long joint
session to-day Is not known. To-mor-
row a number of gentlemen from vari-
Gus parts of the United States are ex-
pected here. but the commissioners win
not disclose what interests these gentle
men will represent.
A matter which was not mentioned in
the general protocol will probably soon
be brought TO the attention of the
American commissioners. They VIII be
asked to consider the question of a
monument for General Montgomery,
who was killed here while leading a de-
tachment Of American troops in lI15.
A small tablet In the rock by the road
side, bearing the words, Here fell
Montgomery" Is all that has ever
! marked the spot where he met his death.
Several times during the past century
efforts have been made by different
Americans and American societies to
have something done in the way Of
erecting a suitable memorial to the
memory Of the American general. The
! Canadians have always commended that
Il was not exactly the proper thing 10
erect on the sacred soil of Quebec" a
monument to the leader of an invading
army. Only a few years since the so
ciety of the Sons of the Revolution
asked permission to erect the
here, but failed. Now a granddaughter
Of General Montgomery, DR.. Liston
Montgomery Of Chicago. has undertaken
the patriotic task, and will appeal to
the American commissioners to improve
the opportunity for properly honoring
the memory of his Industrious ancestor.
Or. Montgomery's letter, II is under
stood. is now in the hands of the COM
mission.
The Gloucester. Mass, fishermen have
applied for a hearing before the Amer
lean delegation, and a representative OF
their interests will probably be heard

The letters were very tender, as though
the two were very dear to each other,

Pearl" begged forgiveness and en-
closed the pawn check, and requested

pawn ticket was of the regulation kind

police located Beeman at once in the
Beckman block, and upon inquiry learn
ed that he represented himself to be the
agent of a medical company. He was

MANY DIFFICULTIES.
Great Obstacles I'm the Way of the Czar's
Plan.

Chicago, Aug. Ex-senator Cushman
x. Davis of Minneapolis, a member Of
the Paris peace commission, stopped in
this city a few houTs while en- route
to his home In st. Paul, where he ex-
poets 10 remain and rest until Sept. 10,
when the commission sails for Europe.
Asked for his oplrion as to the prob
able success OF the cars proposal for a
conference. he said:
while the obstacles In the way OF the
abandonment of the standing armies
seem almost insurmountable. still 1
would not be at all surprised If very
material good could be accomplished by
a conference of the kim proposed. 1t
might not result in the reduction of the
standing armies, u 1t would be a good
step toward that goal. and II might
have an effect which would be of the
greatest value.
The ear has done n great thing in
putting forth his suggestion. While
Russia would undoubtedly benefit great
ly by the change, | believe the cars
motives are not In any sense selfish, and
that he is perfectly sincere in his de-
sire to bring about dement's to all the
European nations. The Russian tmper-
ial family has always had a vein OF
humanitarianism and even OF sentimen-
talism In matters of reform, and It's
achievements have been very great in
some lines.
1T IS Of course very hard to say what
he proposed conference would accom-
plish. England would gain immensely
10y disarming Europe, and would un-
doubtedly work hard for IL. The smaller
and weaker nations are being forced 10
bankruptcy and ruin by the armies they
feel forced to maintain. They may have
10 reduce their forces merely to keep in
existence, whether there is any general
agreement or not. Russia is so protect
ed by it's barrier Of ice and snow be
hind II and by the character OF its peo-
rIe that IL could afford to disarm. Ger
tainly IL would want 10 avoid nghtne
until its military road across Siberia Is
completed.
The Eastern question Is very serious
and may at any time lead to trouble. -
many OF the elements of IL require deli
cate treatment hat | do not see how
the nations interested can afford TO dis

VIEWERS Policy.

London. Aug. 30.-General weyler, ac-
cording to a special dispatch from Madrid
published here this afternoon, has out
lined his future policy. He proposes, Ii APP
pears. to be independent OF both the gov
m and of the opposition, always
aiming to preserve the country and to re-
organize the army" He expresses the be
lief that the CarIists have plenty of mon
ey. some of which he alleges comes
from France. He says that the republicans
have no personal animus against the
queen; their only object being to adopt n
firm international stand. zone result of
which would be to check in a measure
England's ambition"
General weyler's statement was made
to the committee of the Weylerites ~
called upon him this morning az Palma
Majorica. This evening he expectes %
speak before a club convention. 1t Is re-
ported that the general Is returning to
politics in response to many appeals from
Spain and abroad. and it is added that he
will attend the sessions of the eortes and
expound his views as to the causes of the
war disasters.
The substance of General weyler's dec
l~aration to the delegation of the Weyler
club is as follows:
"Th general intends to advocate a
sweeping policy of rehabilitation OF the
government. He will refuse to aid in any
temporary measures and Will propose a
military dictatorship for the r~eorganiZa-
ton Of the army and navy. Their honor,
he remarks, has been lost as well as the
Antilles. owing solely 10 military def
/ cienSies."
General weyler expressed the belief that
I the present cabinet would be succeeded by
a military dictatorship or by a S'lvea min
istry. He added hat he did not desire a
change in the form OF government, but
ne pointed out that the Carlists have Al
excellent organization.

Gov. Black Says Conditions in Regiment

nor Black was seen tonight by an as

Governor Black said that there APP

ton OF The soldiers" that the press
bristled with such phrases as hollow

scriptive of the troops. He gave il as

Offices and the outcome and result of
journalistic knavery."
MY impression" said Governor
Black, "of the camp of the New York
troops at ~Chickamauga park is not half
as bad as / expected it would be. The
unfavorable condition of the camp and
hospitals has, beyond a doubt, been
very greatly exaggerated by the press.

sick soldiers of the 9th New York in
fantry is certainly in a very bad condi-
ton. The present state of this hospital
ought never to be permitted to exist.

1T could be made any better. 1t is ad-
mirable, both in plan and i'm manage
ment. The hospitals Of the Sth and 14th
New York regiments are much better in

the sick of the 9th New York infantry
are quartered.."
The case of Private Num-, of the am
bulance company, who was transferred
from the 9th New York, was reported
to the governor by Captain O'Connor of
company A, 9th New York, and was re-
ported by the governor to Washington
for Investigation. Captain O'Connor's
statement was hat he had found the
body of Nun lying naked in a division
hospital two days after death, infested
by maggotS; hat an autopsy had beer
held and that no preparation had beer

that the disaster had been caused by de-
fective boilers served to Increase the
already dangerous condition of the en-
CINE builder. His family believe this to
be the direct cause leading to his death.
He was stricken with apoplexy and
paralysis. For a time he could neither
speak nor move. When he was at one
time thought to be at the point of
death ne recovered the partial use OF his

things. He cried aloud over the fate
of what he called his ship"
