PEACE ENJOYS MEET AT PARIS.
Both Commissions Received By the French
Minister

The United States peace commission
went into session at Paris Wednesday
morning. The Gaulois says: "W bile
the Americans have instructions which
are much more precise than those Of n Q
Spaniards, there is diversity Of opinion
in regard to the Philippines. Senator
Gray is very ardent Democrat and con-
sequently belongs to the party which re-
pudiates expansion. He opposed all an
nexation and his opinion. therefore,
totally differs from that of the other four
commissioners, some of whom would be
content with a coaling station at the Phil
ippines, possibly Cavite. while others,
like Senator Davis, advocate the annexa-
iton of the " hole of the archipelago"
The Gaulois. however, believes that tie
A nericans by mutual concessions will
come to an agreement and that they will
all be largely influenced by Major Gen
eral Merritt's reports on the situation.
The instructions to the Spanish cammis-
sion, still according to the Gaulois, are
b lefty, to hold out and make the best
terms possible. Madrid is well aware,
it appears, that the conferences at the
best only have to please the Spanish
people and the only hopes entertained
are that the Americans will not abuse the
situation too much. Popular sentiment
in Spain, it is added. thinks it better to
abandon the Philippines island than to
them ungovernable.
During the afternoon the American
commissioners assisted at their first for
NAL function in France-the reception by
the minister of foreign affairs, NJ Del
casse. At O'Clock the United States am
bassador. General Horace Porter, called
at the Continental hotel for the Ameri-
cans. He took three Of them in his own
carriage and the remainder, with Secre-
tary Moore, followed in another carriage,
through the Qua de Rivoli. over the Place
de la COncOrde across the river Seine to
the ministry of foreign affairs.
Through NJ. Vignaud, who acted as in-
terpreter, NJ. Delcasse only speaking
French, the party chatted briefly npon n
generalities and the minister finally as
sured the commissioners OF the great
pleasure experienced by France in the
part she has taken in effecting a suspen-
sion of hostilities between Spain aud the
United States and expressed the hope of
having thepleasure of meeting the Amer
ican commissioners and Spanish CON-
missioners at breakfast the next day.
NJ Delcasse added that afler having thus
brought the two commissions together
and offering the hospitalities Of the salon
de conference the French government
would efface itself.
Judge Day, as president of the United
States commission. responded. He said
the United States appreciates the good
offices of France and after NJ. DeIcasse
had expressed his pleasure at such recog-
milton OF the disinterested action of
France, the Interview ended and the
Americans retired.

A Magazine Which Builds Houses.

The readers of the Ladies' Home
Journal are about as responsive a
clientele as any magazine possesses.
About six months ago the Philadel-
phia magazine started to publish a
series of practical architectural plans
showing how artistic houses could be
built at moderate cost. 1t employed
special architect and his work was
certainly artistic. Besides the plans
it agreed to furnish complete specif-
cations of each house at a minimum
cost. Thousands of people liked the
plans given and the series has been a
great success for the magazine. This
spring the building of over 500 houses
varying in cost from $500 to $1,000
each, will be started in different parts
of the country by Journal readers, in
addition to over one hundred other
houses which have already been
built.
