ApuIo-American Com mission.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Both sides of
the Anglo-American commission held
meetings Saturday to prepare the way
for their joint session, when efforts
will be continued to get together on
some basis of reciprocity. Each side
canvassed the extent Of concessions it
was ready to grant and expected to re-
ceive. While the differences are quite
material, members of the commission
said that there was no reason to take
a discouraging view of the outlook, as
there were strong hopes that differ
ences on reciprocity, which are conceded
to he the chief obstacles, could be recon-
ciled. 1t is said President Mckinley
has taken occasion during recent talks
with members of the commission to ex-
press a most earnest desire that sue
cessful results come Of the negotia-
tionS.

New York Volunteers Coming East.

San Francisco, Dec. IL. - The latest
instructions from the war department
are that the New YoSk regiment shall
be transported to NelEYork as a whole
and not in battalions, as heretofore
stated. This will necessitate the post
ponement of the departure Of the First
battalion until the arrival of the bal
ance of the regiment from Honolulu.
The steamer Scandia, due to arrive here
this week, will bring large detach-
ment, and the balance Of the New
Workers. will come on the steamer Ala
media, due on the 18th. 1t will depend a
great deal on the general health of the
New Workers. whether or not they will be
sent home in time for Christmas. or
the men already here 16 are in the divi-
sion hospital Private CrOgan Of Com
pany is slightly i'll with typhoid pneu-
monia. If the health Of the men to ar
rive here is as good, the regiment will
probably go east almost at once, but
should it be poor the soldiers will be
detained until such time as the health
of the regiment permits transportation.

PEACE TREATY SIGNED.
document Executed at 8:45 on Sat-
urday Evening.
THE WAR NOW REALLY OVER
1he Seventeen Articles Are In Span
ash and English-Scramble For
Pens Used by Commission-
ers In Signing.

Paris Dec. 1.-THE treaty of peace
was signed at S:45 p. m. Saturday.
II mas II articles, 1t having been found
advisable to substitute two or three of
the articles in the draft agreed upon at
the last meeting.
The commissioners signed it in du-
phcate. Each copy has the English
and Spanish text in parallel columns.
Inc wording had been approved pre-
Vlously by the commissions without a
Joint meeting, so there was no con-
troversy on that subject.
Striving For Souvenirs.
There was great contest among the
Families and friends OF the American
commissioners for the pens with which
the signatures to the treaty was writ
ten. Some American ENJOYS were pro-
vlded with handsome pens bought for
the purpose. The Spaniards appeared
TO be unaffected by the souvenir craze
ana contented themselves with the or
binary quill pens strewn on the table.
Arthur Ferguson, the interpreter of
the American commission, asked Senor
Montero Rios to give him his pen, say
ing:
Have you any desire to preserve the
pen with which you Will sign?"
Not in the slightest" said the Span
lard, with a courtly bow.
The Americans arrived at the foreign
ministry at $3.50 p. M, the Spaniards
reaching there half an hour later. Senior
Rois, president Of the Spanish commits
sion, bundled up in fur coat, ascend
ed the steps leaning on cane.
Spnin's Solemn Representatives.
The Americans shook hands with the
Spaniards when the latter entered the
conference hail. but the faces of Spain's
representatives were exceedingly SOL
emn. Apparently they thought it a
funeral occasion.
After being photographed the COM
missioners listened to the reading of the
treaty until sos, at which hour they
took recess until Z p. M, awaiting the
last sections of the treaty.
