than acrimonious protests, "as the
powers are aware that Great Britain
would not allow the United States to
be overborne by a hostile coalition"
The Spectator says: The statesmen
of the continent universally fear the
advent of the United States in Eu-
ropean politics. They cannot rid their
heads of the idea that, if they stand
together, as when they coerced Japan,
America will similarly yield.
But their representations at Wash
ington are likely to irritate greatly the
national pride of the Americans, lead
ing GA universal support of President
in q reply, which, however
moderate in tone. will, in effect, be a
clear defiance. The excessive fear felt
of an Anglo-Saxon alliance is shown
by the fact that the whole continent

States army, at the Waldorf-Astoria
tonight, in point of numbers, extern
sive preparation and brilliancy, RI
vailed the great banquet given last year
in honor of President Mckinley by the
merchants and manufacturers of the
country. The leading persons, mill
tary, naval and business men, were
represented, 700 being present. All of
the second floor of the Astoria portion
of the hotel was utilized for the din
ner. The grand banquet hall was too
small, and tables were set in the adj
joining rooms. The banquet hall itself
was marvel of beauty.
AT 1880 o'clock Hon. Joseph Choate,
the POSTMASTER, took General Miles by
the arm, and, after brief levee in the
Astor gallery, headed the long line to
the banquet room. just after the
oysters were served, a commotiOn was
heard on the north side OF the banquet
hall. Soon after cheers were heard,
as Governor-elect Roosevelt appeared
opposite the guest table. There was
much cheering, every one rising to his
feet, the ladies in the boxes growing
enthusiastic and waving their hand
kerchiefs at the colonel. He was es-
corted to a place made vacant by the
illness of General Shafter who sent
regrets at the last moment. Colonel
Roosevelt shook hands with General
Miles, and this was the occasion for
more cheering.
Among those who sat at the guests
table, presided over by Joseph H. Cho-
ate, were: Major General Nelson A.
Miles, at his right, and Rear Admiral
Henry Erben at his left; Governor
Roger A. Wolcott of Massachusetts,
Governor-eiect Roosevelt, Hon. Asa
Bushnell, governor of Ohio; Major
General Daniel E. Sickels, Hon. Ben
jamin F. Tracey, Ex-Governor Levi P
Morton, Captain Arthur Paget, r. N:
Hon. Daniel H. Hastings, governor of
Pennsylvania; Major General o. O.
Howard, Hon. Seth Low, Hon. Roswell
P. Flower, Chauncey M. Depew, Hon
William j. Sewall and Hon. Lloyd
governor of Maryland. A
place was reserved for Rear Admiral
w. S. Schley, who, unfortunately, had
gone to Washington.
A unique feature of the banquet was
the manner of serving the ice cream.
A drum and fife corps, playing Yankee
Doodle, preceded two score of walters.
who marched into the banquet hall
aloft huge platters of ice
cream, in the center of each one being
a miniature statue of Washington
Jefferson or some other great hero or
statesmen. The corps marched to CEN
eral Miles seat and placed a large
statue of General Washington in front
of him.
Half a dozen members of the cover
nor's footguards' CT New Haven, Conn.
were present in the picturesque uni
form of IVA.
After a. brief speech by Mr.. Choate.
in which he warmly eulogized the
guest of the evening, General Miles was
given an ovation. He smilingly bowed

his acknowledgements of the excited
applause
GENERAL MILES ADDRESS.

After acknowledging his apprecia-
ton Of the magnificent reception,
though refusing to appropriate to him
self what he considered an expression
of gratitude to the army he command
ed, General Miles said:
THE wars of the past have had their
objects, their achievements and gIor-
ious results. This last was in the in
terest of humanity and in behalf of a
heroic people, who for many years
have been struggling against cruel
atrocities, oppression and the despotism
of cruel monarchy. 1t has been most
remarkable in many respects. 1t has
presented one series of victories, with
out a single defeat.s The flag of the
United States has not been lowered in
a single instance. Not a foot of ground
has been surrendered. not a soldier,
gun or rife has been captured by the
enemy. The American soldiers and
sailors have been true to the principles
and traditions of their forefathers, and
maintained the honor and glory of the
American arms. One great blessing
to the country in this best, but deci-
sive war. has been to firmly unite in
bonds of unperishable union all sec
tons of the United States-north,
south, east and west. Still more, it has
given us reason and opportunity to

ranged for Saturday, will be postponed
until Monday next. At the joint SEES
sion on Wednesday last it was agreed
that the session fixed for Saturday
night be postponed until Monday, if
the Spanish commissioners found
themselves unable to prepare a reply
for presentation on Saturday, and it
now appears that the Spaniards found
it necessary to send to Madrid for GER
tain records, which cannot reach Paris
before 10 o'clock on Sunday morning,
and, therefore, their proper embodi-
ment into the Spanish memorandum
cannot be accomplished before Mon
day.
The next answer from the Spanish
commissioners will deal with the
rights of either to discuss the question
of Spanish sovereignty over the Phil
ippines, and with the American con-
tention that the retention of public
moneys and customs collections at Ma
Mia is justified by the fact of the
military occupation of the place by the
American forces, and warranted by
the protocol, even if faulty, as claimed
by Spain, because such action COM
menced after the suspension of hostili-
ties

MIXED RESULTS m NEBRASKA.
Fusionists Elect State Officers and
Republicans the Legis1atnra.

Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 11.-Eleetion re-
turns today and this evening served to
remove all doubt of the election of the
fusion state ticket, with the possible
exception of superintendent of public
instruction, by average pluralities Of
2,500. Republicans concede it. The same
figures make it certain that the Re
publicans have the Legislature on joint
ballot and probably both houses. The
senate stands: Republicans, 20; Flu
siOnists, u; one in doubt. The house:
As; F'usionists, IS; six in
doubt. Fusionist state house officials
admit the loss of the legislature, but
the campaign managers have not yet
formally conceded it.
The contest in many districts was
exceedingly close, two members win
ming by a single vote. In Richardson
county the summOning Of a district
judge and a mandamUs suit was neces-
sary to compel precinct judges Of cleo
ton to sign certificates of a house
member Who had won by three votes.

Everything was believed to have set
tied into it's normal state at Phoenix
City, but today a telegram from there
says word was sent to Columbia to hold
John r. Tolbert7 and his son Sidney,
who are in the penitentiary there. The
telegram said affidavits duplicating the
Tolberts in the recent race troubles
were on the way to Columbia, and it
is now believed it is the intention to
bring the Tolberts back to Phoenix
City. If this is done it is feared fur
Their trouble will result, although lead
ing citizens are deprecating any fur

The Toiberts escaped to Columbia
two days ago, and after having their
wounds dressed, We're placed in the

ment and people. We cannot longer
confine ourselves to the narrow limits
that governed US in the past Much
has been said of what has been the
ruling policy of the people. This much,
L think, is apparent to all: That the
grave responsibilities of the nation are
too great to be contaminated by per
s0nal, partisan or sectional interests.
Our interests are national in the high
est degree.N They embrace two henli-
spheres. They involve the welfare of
a hundred millions Of the human race.
We are getting to that time when we
will require not only the ablest men,

ment, to protect and administer the
affairs of the nation"
OVATION FOR PAGET.
Mr.. Choate, in a few words, told of
the close relations between Great Brit
ain and the United States, and intro
duced Arthur Paget of the royal navy.
A tremendous ovation greeted the Eng
fish representative. He said words
were inadequate to describe his feel
ings for the American soldier the
American sailor, for Admiral Sampson
and for General Miles in particular. He
read an extract from Lord Salisbury's
speech, in which the latter pointed out
the progress of the United States to-
wards expansion. Captain Paget said
there were some who opposed expan-
sion, but that they could not stay the
progress of the American nation in this
direction.
Mr.. Choate announced that General
Miles wished him to ask for three,
cheers for General Shafter Then en-
sued storm of applause. Letters were
then read from President Mckinley ex-

Shafter and others

He said:

SPAIN WILL NOT YIELD.
Commissioners Instructed to Reject
the American Demands.


Madrid, Nov. 1.-THE queen regent
presided at the cabinet council held
today. Premier Sagasta read a letter
from Senior Rio, president of the Span
ish peace commission, announcing that
the American peace commissioners had
refused to recognize the Cuban debt,
and had sexacted the Philippines. The
cabinet council will meet again this
evening and decide upon a reply.
The newspapers assert that the gov
eminent of Spain is sending instruc-
lions to it's commissioners at Paris not
to yield on the question of Spanish
sovereignty over the Philippine islands,
which is asserted to be entirely outside
of the protocol, wherefor the commits
sioners are authorized to discuss it.
1t is further asserted that the Span
ish government will declare that it has
not been authorized by the cortes to
negotiate the cession Of the Philippine
islands.
The Liberal advises the Spanish peace
commissioners to leave Paris, after
lodging protest against the demands
