TALK ARBITRATION.
spaniards are Likely to Spring New
Plan.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE Temps says:
1--WE have received from our Madrid
correspondent a dispatch dated October
II, s erting that a report was circulated
in Madrid on Wednesday that the COM
nissioners were exclusively occupied
with the Cuban question and that the
commission had agreed, except regard
ing the evacuation by the spanish
troops. the surrender of war material
and the question of the Cuban debt The
respective governments are now eX-
aiming these questions. Spain is SAID
to be willing to surrender the war ma
terial provided the Americans accord
an extension of time for the evacuation,
and in spite of the fact that the date
on which the Americans will assume
the administration of the island IS
Decent Der 1. An agreement on the dept
question is more difficult, the Americans
claiming that the question is irrelevant
because the United States is not annex
ing Cuba.
''The Americans further hold that a
majority of the Cuban debt was IN
Cured before the civil war of 1895, ana
that the whole debt since contracted
has been devoted entirely to the preven-
ton of Cuban independence wherefore
the ultimate settlement of the dept
should devolve on the future Cuban
government. Thus Spain would prefer
the annexation of Cuba to the United
States. ,,,.- :.
TT is further affirmed that, falling in
an agreement between the commissions,
this matter will be submitted TO arpl-
tratfon."
The Temps adds that the commissions
have prepared memoranda interchang-
ing their views on the clauses of the
protocol which are being discussed.

where irrigation is necessary and would
add to the interest of the producer, the
public funds be used to supply their
needs in this respect, thereby adding
more to the wealth, productiveness and
prosperity of their people than many
other expenditures for public improve
ment.
THE benefits Of such public irriga-
ton can not be over estimated. They
would be far reaching in their effects.
1t would mean practically a desert
waste, often stricken with hot winds
and q total destruction of vegetable
life turned into land of good crops, good
homes and good citizens. Horace
Greeley must have had this in mind
when he advised young men to go west
that the west might have more good
citizens, more good homes, good gov
eminent, good public improvements
and, by irrigation for the dry lands and
the introduction of thOrOughbreds.
more producers of good live stock.
1T is quoting history to say that
prosperity is to be found with the young
man who is Industrious and a master
of his calling. Therefore to the young
man of today who has turned his at
tention to agricultural pursuits, the
question as we'll as its solution is re-
ferred to make of It what he will. It's
destiny is in his hands, and with a care
full attention to details, ever bearing
in mind the necessity of industry, thrift
and a complete mastery of his chosen
profession, there is before him nothing
but success"
After the conclusion of the address
routine business was taken up.

MORGAN VS.. HILL.
Northern Pacific Railroad Fight Has
Been Settled.


New York, Oct. 14.-The Press says: 1t
is said on the authority of an officer Of
the Northern Pacific railroad that the
fight between the J. P. Morgan and the J.
J. Hill factions has been settled as far as
the payment of a dividend the COM
mon stock of that railroad is concerned
It was agreed yesterday that a dividend
would be paid on the common stock The
president of the company viii recommend
it and a majority of the directors yester-
day agreed to consider the recOmm enda-
ton favorably. The directors meet in
November, when the subject will be con-
sidered formally.
The controversy between the factions
to the status of the Oregon Short Line
on through business, as affecting the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern,
remains unsettled, and it is on this point
that several bitter letters have passed be-
tween the two factions: The recent cleo
ton of directors of that company indi-
Gates that that question, too, will be set
tied amicably.
The authority for these statements is a
is member of the executive committee of
that railway For obvious reasons he
refuses the use of his name in connection
with the statement. He pointed out that
the railroad, under its agreement must
pay per cent on the preferred stock be-
fore a dividend on the common stock can
be declared. Such a dividend has been
paid and it is expected that at the direct
orS' meeting in November a l per cent
quarterly dividend on the common stock
will be authorized.

FIXED HEADQUARTERS.
Proposition is Voted Down by the
Knights Templar.

Pittsburg, Oct. 14-Executive business
occupied the fourth and closing days
session of the grand encampment
Knights Templar at Carnegie hall to-
day. The special order of business was
the consideration of proposed revision
of the constitution. The most import
ant amendment proposed was the one
to locate the grand encampment head
quarters in Washington, thus providing
for the storage of all archives of the en-
campment in that city. This was voted
down by a large majority.
The installation of the newly elected
officers will probably take place this
afternoon. It is also expected that the
grand master-elect will announce his
appointments at the same time. The
city is rapidly assuming it's usual ap
pearance. Outside of the members Of
the grand encampment there are very
few knights still here and by tomorrow
they will all have returned to their
homes.

MORE TIME GIVEN
By Comptroller Dawes to the Trades
mems Bank.


Washington, Oct. IA committee of
the directors of the Tradesmen's Ma
tional bank of New York, consisting of
William H. Woolverton and julius
Kaufman and David H. Bates, called
on Charles C. Dawes, the controller of
the currency, yesterday in connection
with the affairs of the bank. The ma
tiOnal bank examiner in charge of the
bank has reported to the controller that
the net amount due depositors on Oc-
tOber 4, 1898, was $2,409, 900, and he esti-
mates that the short time bills receiV-
able of the bank, which will be paid at
maturity, together with the cash as
sets, amount to 81, 200, 010, leaving a bal
ance of assets amounting to something
over 81, 000, 600 with which to provide for
the difference of $208, 1890. The examiner,
having carefully gone over the assets,
says that he believes a sum largely in
excess of the apparent deficit can be re-
allied.
Under the circumstances the control
Ter announced to the committee that he
would give them further time in which
to make an effort to put the bank in
condition to get all it's obligations on
time.
Some of the larger depositors have
announced their willingness to accept
certificates of deposit payable at later
date, in order that this result may be
reached.
1t was also made condition by the
controller that he should select from
the directors of the bank the mem bers
to compose the liquidating committee,
as he did not desire those officers of the
institution through whose arbitrary
action the Wool Exchange loans were
taken to be connected with the iquida-
ton. He announced that he would give
the committee a reasonable time to
bring their efforts to a conclusion and
that he would then send a representa-
tive from his office, who, with the New
York bank examiners, would again ap-
praise the assets so as to enable him
to give his final decision with the most
complete information.

OLD BOG IS OBDTRATE.
Still Refuses to Surrender to the
q. S. Authorities.

Minneapolis, Oct. IA Journal special
from Walker Mimi, says:
There is confidence here that the ques-
ton of peace or war will be settled defin-
itely at this afternoons conference of In
dian Commissioner Jones with the hos
tiles. The rumor that at least three of
the ringleaders would surrender them
selves at this council is. however, receiv-
ed with good deal of skepticism.
Two of those wanted were present at
yesterdays conference and were urged in
vain by the older men to give themselves
up. The difficulty seems to be that old
g-Ahe-Ma h-Ge-Sh'g, the cause of all the
trouble, is still obdurate. He has sworn
that no United States marshal shall ever
again take him into custody, and sticks
to it. AS he is considered the ring1eader.
the authorities will not be satisfied with
anything less than his surrender. The
others would follow his lead in such an
event. The Indians seem to have reached
some understanding, and this will be pre-
scented to the conference.

ARE NOT RAILROADs.
Court Holds That the Name Does Not
Apply to Street Lines

San Francisco, Oct. 14.-Superior
Judge Seawen has rendered an import
ant decision dismissing the application
of the board of railroad commissioners
for a writ of mandate to compel the
Market Street Railway company
(Southern Pacific to produce the books
for examination. The commission
wished to fix a schedule of street car
fares, but Judge Seawell holds that the
term railroad" in the statute does not
refer to street railways, in the true
meaning of the word, and that although
the commission is empowered to fix the
rates for carrying freight, the law does
not imply the power to fix passenger
rates and that any other Interpretation
would involve the carriers of passengers
and freight by coach and baggage COM
panies.
Judge Seawen holds that only munich
pal authorities have the power to fix
the rates of street car lines.
The case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court

FAILED TO AGREE.
The Glass Cutters and Manufacturers
Apart on Wage Scale.

Pittsburg, Oct. 14.-The failure of the
glass cutters scale committee and the
committee of the American Window
Glass Manufacturers association to
reach an agreement on the wage ques-
ton for the ensuing year will prevent
a general resumption of the factories
in the country today. It is probable
however, that the Independent factories
at Elwood, Pa, South Anderson, Ind,
Monongahela City and Ardmore, Pa
will begin operations as previously ar
ranged for.
The factories under control of the
American Window Glass company
lighted fires three weeks ago under the
impression that a settlement would be
reached. Failure 20 agree will force
them to bank their furnaces tonight.
The disagreement will affect about 15,-
600 glass workers who have been idle
since June 80, the date of the summer
shut down.
