MEETS IN PHILADELPHIA.
Courier Brings Important Dispatches
From Washington.

ETOm washington
Philadelphia. Oct. 26.-After the re-
ception to the president at Union
league, a meeting of the chief executive
and those cabinet officers who are in
attendance with him at the Peace Ju-
bilee, was held at the Hotel Bellevue.
Those present besides the president
were Postmaster Smith, Secretary OF
War Alger, Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and Solicitor General Richards,
in place of Attorney General Griggs.
The utmost secrecy attended the pro-
ceedinSs. and it is impossible to learn
for what purpose the meeting was
called or what subjects were discussed
From an unofficial, although ordinarily
reliable source, it was cleaned that j.
c. Kellogg, private secretary to Secre-
tary Hay, reached here tonight, bear
ing important dispatches from the state
department. Neither Secretary Porter
or any of the cabinet officers could be
seen after the meeting, and no infor-
nation from other sources could be
obtained.
The meeting lasted nearly an hour,
and was held in the presidents room
in the hotel Local detectives prevent
ed any one from approaching the V1cin-
ity. Mr.. kellogg, who was questioned
about the matter, admitted being the
bearer of q message. but said 1t was
purely a personal one from Secretary
Hay. That it was more than some or
binary elaboration was apparent from
the fact that Mr.. Kellogg reached the
Union league shortly before IL O'Clock,
and was Immediately taken to the
president He then left and went to
the hotel, the reception coming TO an
end very shortly. After the president
and cabinet had concluded their DELHI
eratiOns Mr.. Kellogg left immediate
ly for Washington in special car. 1t
was reported after midnight that the
president may leave for Washington in
the morning. and not remain 10 review

LAKE VESSELS MISSING.
Long List of Disasters to Schooner


Chicago, Oct. 26.-The gale which be-
gan last night continued most of to-
day, causing immense damage to ship
ping. At 10 O'Clock tonight the wind
is going to the south, and the huge
seas which have been rolling on Lake
Michigan for the past "A hours are fast
running down. The storm brought a
long list of disasters to the local
schooner fleet, buS there was no loss
of life. \ canvass of the craft at this
end of the lake tonight shows the fol-
lowing are missing: Aberdeen, grain
from Chicago; Delta, lumber from She
boygan; Biwahik, grain from Chicago;
Stafford and McWiliiams.
The Delta and Filler broke away
from the schooner L. Pablow, off Port
Washington, last night. The Pablow
has arrived here, the Filler has been
abandoned by her crew, waterlogged
off Racine and the Delta is believed to
be drifting distressed 10 miles off Ken
osha. The Pablow went adrift from
Kalkaska and waterlogged off Crosse

Paris. Oct 26.-The American peace
commissioners held a session of several,
hours duration today prior to the joint
session of the two commissions which
opened at o'clock this afternoon. The
Americans fully realize that they ares
approaching the discussion of the chiee<
question intrusted to them, namely, I
the future of the Philippine islands. <
and it may be taken for granted that's
they are we'll prepared to take the mat
ter up if it is preached today by theN
Spaniards.
The meeting of the commissionerai
lasted an hour and five minutes and9
was adjourned until tomorrow. Both
the Spanish and the American cOmmis-~
SiOnerS were more reticent after this
session than ever before. The Ameri-}
cans fully appreciate not only their own
serious responsibility, but also the deli
cate position of their Spanish col
leagues, to the burden of whose duties
is now added the critical political stu
alton at Madrid, which may compel the
president OF the Spanish commission,
who is also president of the Spanish
senate, Senior Montero Rios, to leave
Paris.
AS the peace negotiations are now
nearing.the discussion of the Philippine
question the Americans feel no stage
of the proceedings has so demanded
their considerate treatment. 1t may not
be stated tonight with certainty that
the Cuban question has received the
last consideration by the Americans,
nor have the Spaniards accepted as
ultimate the United States refusal to
assume any portion of the Cuban debt.
It may, however, be affirmed that the
Philippine question was not reached
today, but it may be discussed at to-
session. which will be the first
occasion, during these negotiations of a
joint session of the commissions being
held on succeeding days. which fact is
in some fIao-rae SIGNIFICANT

Philadelphia, Oct 26.-President Nc
Kinley arrived here at noon today, but
instead of finding the city in the midst

Then the president was introduced TO

President Mckinley said:
You have cheered the president of

The president then withdrew, and
was escorted to the hotel. A moment
later four of the crew of the Merrimac
came from the building. and were pre-

most tumultUous greeting. The Mer-
rimac heroes then retired, and the
crowd gradually dispersed.
1t is learned that the president has
had with him at all times since 'leav-
ing Washington, a bodyguard of three
detectives. The president, however,
said tonight that he never felt so safe
as while in Philadelphia.

was proceeded with. There was every

edge OF parliamentary law displayed
than at any gathering with a similar
number of delegates that mas been held
in Ogden.
owing to the lateness of the Rio

SAGASTA MUST REMAIN.
Change of Government Impossible
Until Peace Is Signed.

London, Oct. 27.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard, telegraphing
Tuesday by way of the frontier, and
dealing with the threatened cabinet
crisis, points out the impossibility of
a change of government, because a
change would almost certainly cause
the resignation of the Spanish commits
sioners in Paris. He says:
Senior Sagasta, therefore, will remain
at the helm until the treaty of peace is
signed, unless General Weyler or the
military elements cause trouble. Sc
nor Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish commission, now offers no
hope of obtaining anything from Amer
lea for the Cuban debt. He even says
that Spain must assent to the views
in this matter before the conference
can proceed to settle the Puerto Rican
and Philippine question"

poned the inspection of Camp Freeze
owing to a mild snowstorm and very
muddy roads. The camp here is a large
one, with about Is subdivisions OF
troops, to say nothing of the hospitals.
There are a great many regulars here,
and among them many who partici-
pated in the Santiago campaign Many
| of these will be examined by the com
mission.
I'VE know ali about the landing and
the way the battles were fought" said
General Dodge. What we want TO
know is how the sick and wounded
were cared for"
The commission began the examina-
ton of witnesses today with General
Louis H. Carpenter. who is in command
in General Wheeler's absence. He had
been at Chickamauga, Tampa and at
Fernandina before coming here. He
said that the camp at Chickamauga
was too crowded. That at Tampa was
unsatisfactory. but it was not intended
to be permanent. That at Fernandina
was ideal. Food supply had been am
pie, but quartermaster supplies were
generally slow, and there had been es-
pecial difficulty in securing tents.
TROUBLE IN GETTING SUPPLIES.
There was more trouble in getting
supplies at Tampa than anywhere else,
because of railroad congestion. Major
Charles M. Gangy. the surgeon who
was in charge of the medical supply
depot at Tampa, said he had been able
to fill all reasonable acquisitions for
medical supplies with promptness, but
many bulky articles for which substi-
tuteS could be had were not SuDDlied.
The regulars were easily satisfied, but
the volunteers were eXacting Still.
there We're some delays, and he men
toned one instance Of supplies ordered
from New York that were not received
for two months.
During the afternoon session of the
commission a number of officers who
had served in the Santiago campaign
and in Florida were examined Cen
eral G. S. Carpenter said the sick at
Santiago had suffered somewhat on ac-
count of the deficiency of medicines and
medical supplies.
HUNGRY AT TIMES.
Captain George S. Cartwright. who
had been aide to General Kent in the
Santiago campaign, said that doubtless
some of the men had been hungry at
times. He thought, however, that I'M
der the circumstances the commissary
department had been quite efficient at
Santiago.
Major II. d. Thomason. surgeon of
the Thirty-third Michigan, who had
served in the general hospital at Mon
tauk Point, after Aug. II, said that in
August there We're 900 patients in the
hospital, and that there were often
eight in a tent. There were in the
beginning of his service not sufficient
cots, and some men had to sleep on
the blankets. Some of the members of
the hospital corps We're without train
ing, but he had known of but one in
stance in which hospital refuse was
thrown out upon the ground beside the
tent. There were times when there
was not sufficient number of attend
ants. AS rule the surgeons were
capable. He had heard no complaint Of
ill-treatment from patients. but there
was criticism from outsiders He
thought deaths were caused by the re-
moval of patients before they were in a

several very pleasant store acquaint-

Next I went on to Mr.. w. c. Miller's,
who is located on the Medicine liver,
one mile north of Lake City, in a lovely
big white house. We had a half days
hard riding through his big pastures
four miles of pasture and fields-and
looking over his 400 Herefords and 300
short-horns, the latest cattle I saw
on my trip. He has the all-round best
ranch in this country, or any other, for
he never has to feed a thing till Jan
uary-from the LIST to the 15th-and
there is timber in all his feed lots,
and water, too He has one feed lot
of $50 acres, with grass as high as
the fence, all in timber. There he keeps
his late calves and COWS, and they lie
down in that big grass, while he lies
in a feather-bed, happy, and he don't
care whether the wind or snow blows
or it is still. He told me he could sleep
in the daytime this hot weather, for

worth while to learn a few expedients
for emergencies. One of these is to
keep clean, coarse blankets, for they
will not only make a small stock of
ice last twice the time, but are useful
in chilling water, and also in preserv-
ing stores of all kinds. In a large POI
rous jar wrapped with wet blankets a
degree of GOODNESS is attained that is
equal to an ice chest for keeping milk
and other perishables. So it is neces-
sary also to have a jar.-Chicago
