Ice cream was first introduced at the

SECRET TREATY.
Russia and China Said to
Have Made One.

Vancouver b. c., Nov. 17.-Advices
from the orient brought by the steam
er Empress Of China includethe follow
ing;
Japanese papers contain news Of an
alleged secret treaty between China and
Russia. In this treaty the Chinese gov
eminent is stated to have agreed that
Russian soldiers are to be employed for
defense of the coasts and as military
instructors. They are to be commanded
by Russian officers. The whole expense
is to be borne by China
This arrangement would be alto
gether subversive to the plan arranged
for not long since for the employment
of British officers to drill and organize
a Chinese army.
ItNis reported that the Japanese gov
eminent has decided to cooperate with
Great Britain with the object of re-
storing all things in China to their
former status before the recent coup
d'etat 1t has TRANSFERRED that on the
day of the coup d'etat no fewer than
IA eunuchs, who were the emperor
personal attendants, were ordered to
execution by the empress dowager.
The empress dowager has issued an
edict instructing the provincial author
tiles to diligently protect all places
wherever Christian chaDels of any ma
tionality have been built, and ordering
that all missionaries in the interior be
properly and politely treated.

THE ADMINISTRATION.
II Feels Encourages Over the Peace Stu
alton In Paris.

Washington, Nov 1.-THE admins
tration feels encouraged now over the
outlook for a successful termination of
the labors of the peace commissions at
Paris Whether this renewed confidence
is based upon an abstract of the Span
ish reply which was submitted at yes
terday's meeting, or is founded upon
private advices indicating a weakening
Of the Spanish position is not known,
but it is probable that both of
these have had an influence in bright
ening the prospects.
The Spanish reply was not surprise
TO the American commissioners, who in
fact, had prepared themselves in adj
vance with instructions received direct
~ from the president and Secretary
Hay for complete answer. Still it was
probably regarded as better policy and
more in accord with the amenities of
official exchange, that the Americans
show the Spanish commissioners the
courtesy of giving deliberate considera-
ton to their carefully prepared written
argument,
The attempt of the Spanish commits
sioners to induce the Americans to a.
cept their construction of the meaning
of the protocol where ii touches on the
Philippines has been a fat failure. The
president himself was a party to the
PREPARATION N LIS IEOtpcOi.
1t was he. who, suspecting a purpose
on the Spanish side to becloud the issue
and leave open a door for future es-
cape from the consequences of the war
had swept aside as so much ehaff the
message Of the Spanish foreign min
sister, Duke Al,nodovar del Rio, and re-
uuoing the demands of the United
States to what is called a precis, had
declared that the Spanish government
might accept that as an exact state
ment of theN demands of the United
States
Having made q document the pres
ident believes himself to be the person
most competent to construe its mean
ing, and the American commissioners
ard consequently acting in conformity
with his view
1nasnuch as the Spanish are making
most strenuous efforts to assert their
sovereignty over the Philippines, all
based upon the use of the word "dispo-
sition' instead of possession" in that
part Of the protocol relating to the fu-
ture of the Philippines, it may be sta
ted that the American commissioners
have been obliged to call attention to
the fact that M. Cambon, who acted
for the Spanish government in arrang-
ing the protocol, declared positively
that the change, which was made at
his instance, amounted to nothing, was
of no significance in English or as af-
feeting the object aimed at but was
made merely because it sounded better
in Spanish and would not be so humil-
Eating to the Spaniards.
Consequently, the American commits
sioners could not for an instant think
Of allowing the signature Of the then
French ambassador to be drawn into
question:

LAST NOV b.
New Proposals
Advanced.
PHILIPPINE DEBT.
Spain Will Not Discuss It's
Validity.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE clerical force of
the American peace commission was
busy nearly all last night in translating
the Spanish memorandum presented at
yesterdays joint session.
No unofficial person knows the con-
tents of the document presented by the
Spanish commissioners yesterday, but
1t is safe to assume that, added to her
insistence on the reservation of her
Philippine sovereignty and her PROPOSE
tion to arbitrate the construction Of
the third article of the protocol, Spain
has made two other important state
ments:
First-That on the high ground of
financial probity, she can not allow any
discussion here of the validity of her
action in pledging the resources of the
Philippines of the payment of the
Philippines debt
Second-That in connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain
for her pacific expenditures in the Phil
ippines, she can not admit of any in
quiry as to how she spent the proceeds
Of the loans based on Philippine
pledges.
If Spain has assumed this attitude,
and it is believed she has done so, she
practically compels the American COM
missioners to consider at least the en-
tire Philippine debt and its assump-
ton by the United States or the Philip
pine Islands, as a condition to Spain's
amicable surrender of her sovereignty
over those islands. 1t is difficult to I'M
derstand how the Americans can reply
TO this in any other manner than by
strictly outlining their position and
giving the Spaniards a time limit in
which to accept the propositions of the
United States. But the American COM
missioners may patiently continue their
endeavors to arrive at an alnicable I'M
Outstanding on the subject.

DIDN'T LIKE HIS TREATMENT
The Chaplain of the seventy-frst RegI-
ment Resigns.

New York, Nov. 17-Rev. w. Van
De Water has resigned as chaplain of
the Seventy-first regiment, New York
state national guard. This action was
taken because on Tuesday some of the
mustered-out men of the regiment in
the army labelled an effigy with the
chaplain's name and pelted it with
missiles. Yesterday the chaplain was
Kissed when he called at the armory.
The chaplain was asked today what
had prompted him to sever his con-
nection with the regiment. He re-
piled:
.Unquestionably unjust treatment
which I received at the hands of the
soldiers in the uniform but not under
discipline on the floor of the armory.
1t was absolutely disgraceful. l could
no longer be chaplain Of such men. l
have in my possession my discharge
from the United States service for
faithful and honorable service
The men Of the Seventy first charge
the chaplain with being at the rear in
stead of being with them in the charge
up San Juan Hill.

Dewey refused to issue the process. on
the ground that he had no right to.

clerks issue a writ, etc, although the

tiers out suit was instituted against
Judge Dewey by the firm of Williams
