CONNECTICUT INDEMNIFY.
Former Cashier Arrested and Former
 Secretary His Bondsman.


 Waterbury, Dec. 6.-The knowledge of the arrest last Saturday night of Frank W. Elsdon, son of the Rev MT. Elsdon, formerly pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, who for some time had been cashier of the Con necticut Indemnity association, now known as the Connecticut Life Insur- ance company, charged with alleged embezzlement, has caused more than a days sensation and interesting develop ments are looked for when the case comes up for trial. The amount of the alleged embezzlement as specified in the charge, is $135, and the time of the alleged peculations are September, '97, and April and August, 1898. These dates figure in the charge.
 Mir Elsdon left the employ of the company last summer, it is said. by re- quest When an examination of his books were made discrepancies were discovered and rumors that the total shortage will not be far from $10,000 are in circulation. MT. Elsdon received a letter from the insurance company about three weeks ago to call around to the office and explain the apparent shortage, but he ignored the letter and did not call. His arrest was no surprise to him as he was expecting it, and he secured Colonel John B. Doher- ty. a former secretary of the company, for bondsman When the case came up before the police court it was continued until next week Tuesday. There is a strong belief that before the case comes to trial MT. Elsdon will be ready to ex- plain, and if so, there is but little doubt that other arrests will follow.

TREATY IS ABOUT READY
JUDGE DAYS ANNOUNCEMENT AF-
 TER YESTERDAY,S SESSION.
All the Big Questions Settled and the Treaty WiIl be Signed in Three or Four Days Essential Features Em- bodied i'm Eight Articles-PossibIe That Treaty May be Submitted to Con- gross Before the Christmas Holidays.

Paris, Dec. 6.-When the commission CTS emerged from the foreign office this evening, after another long session, Judge Day, president of the American commission, announced that all the big questions had been settled and that the treaty would be signed in three or four days. The work remaining consists largely in drafting into language the conclusions reached. The peace of Paris, however, is practically an accom- plished fact. To-day's session disposed of the essential features of the treaty, which will be embodied in the following eight articles:
 First, the customary preface of treat les in the nature of an expression of amity and of hope for perpetual peace.
 Second, the relinquishment by Spain of her sovereignty over Cuba.
 Third, the withdrawal of the Spanish troops.
 Fourth, relinquishment by Spain of sovereignty over Porto Rico.
 Fifth Spain's cession of the Philip pines.
 Sixth, the withdrawal of the Spanish troops there.
 Seventh, payment by the United States of $20,0OO,0 900 for the Philippines.
 Eighth, the provision for the open door commercial policy in the Philip pines.
 The rough draft of the treaty, which may be considerably changed, covers these proposals. It makes long doc ument, which Senator Cushman K. Da- wis of the United States peace commits sion says will be found to be one of the most interesting papers ever issued. The Americans have agreed to trans port the Spanish prisoners home. in- cluding the garrison and sailors at Ma nila, captured by Admiral Dewey and General Merritt. As compensation Spain promises to liberate all Cuban, Porto Rican and Philippine political prisoners.
 Washington, Dec 6.--The advices from Paris to the effect that it may be reasonably presumed that the peace commissioners will be ready to sign a treaty of peace within day or two are fully confirmed here. It is learned that the presidents instructions were to hasten the conclusion and to that end the American commissioners have been authorized to limit the treaty closely to the protocol points leaving other matters to be dealt with hereafter. As this is in line with the desire of the Spanish commissioners there will prob ably be no delay. It is possible that the treaty of peace may be submitted tc congress even before the Christmas re- cess. It is believed that it will make toward speedy treatment of the con- vention in the senate to limit the peace treaty to points of the protocol. The other points which our commissioners desire to discuss will be settled later.

Frcrcl, Omcialisn,.

It is undeniabl that France main
tains out of state, county or local funds
q larger number of officials and func-
tionaries than any other country III the
world. 1t has been we'll said that in
France their name is not legion, but
multitude. When one counts up all the
ablebodied citizens who arc employed
and paid by the state, the departments
or the communes, and adds those whose
military service withdraws them from
civil pursuits, one is startled to find
what an enormous amount of produc-
tive energy is distracted and how few
men are left to live their own lives and
thus contribute to the national growth
in wealth and numbers.
Oficialism is not the only sore that
is eating into the French nation. The
causes of the ills it suffers from are
multiple and complex. They are not all
new; some indeed are extremely old.
But at the present time officialism, al.
though it covers itself with the mask OF
conservatism, must be looked upon as
the most active agent of social decom-
position. Conservative it appears to be
in the sense that it tends to keep down
all initiative spirit and all independ.
ence of character and forms sort of
nation within a nation, with interests
of it's own and rooted aversion to
changes of any kind as dangerous to its
existence. Confined in the employment
to which he clings, the official is always
the ally of the government of the day
when he is not its slave. or, in reality,
it's absolute master. His salary is gen.
orally mediocre, and his style OF life
narrow and shabby, but he feels that it
is surer than any other as long as the
taxpayers money comes in.-Nine-
teenth Century.

The cuckoo is as likely to steal its

not take from the point of the follow

have made it?' !,
