New York, Jan. 29.-Arthur G. Keane,
of New York, is the amateur champion
fancy skater for the year 1898. He out
classed his opponents in every figure
except one, and diA It easily. In 1897 he
finished second to George d. Phillips.
Irving Brokaw came out second in the
championship last night. Taken as a
whole, the skating championship of
1898 was not III to those of former
years. The winner was the only com

WHGI DO The CHILDREN DRINK 2

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried

That Part of the Protocol Evil
IDENTITY Drafted for Amer

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Times CORE
spondent in Madrid says:
"a commission consisting of Duke
Almodevar de Rio, the foreign minis
ter; Senior Romero Giron, minister of
the colonies; Lieutenant General Cor
rea, minister of war, and Captain Au-
non, minister of marine, is preparing
instructions for the Cuban and Porto
Rican commissioners, which will be
dispatched on Aug. 81, so as to arrive
within the time fixed by the protocol.
sin these instructions attention will
be called to the distinction between
cession of territory and cession OF SOW

to be maintained that buildings and
public works remain the property of
the sovereign power until they are
paid for.
Worried About the Philip pines.
while the g overnment thus devotes
its attention for moment, chiefly to
questions of de tail relating to the An
titles, much anxiety is felt with regard
to the Philippines question. which is
likely to create much more serious diff.
culties. On this subject very little
guidance is afforded by the studiously
vague terms employed in the protocol.
These words have been carefully ex-
amined with the aid of all available
dictionaries, not only by Spanish min.
listers, but also by the diplomatic rep
resentatives of several foreign powers
and all seemed agreed that in drafting
this part of the protocol President Nc.
