Still a Vacancy On the Peace Com
mission.
GRAY MAY BE APPOINTED
a SO-CALLED DEMOCRATIC SEN
ATOR FROM DELAWARE.
Day Will Not Resume His Duties as
Secretary of State - Preparations
For the Departure of the Com
mission-Its Power Will Not Be
Judicial, But Purely Diplomatic.

Washington, Sept Cit may be said
positively now that Mr.. Justice White
of the United States supreme court has
finally declined the tender of mem
bership in the Spanish-American peace
commission. The president has been
aware for several days of the decision
of Justice White, but for various rea-
sons did not make 1t pubic. AS
matter of fact, no official announce
ment was ever made of his defamation
as a member of the commission, al
though it was officially understood that
n tender of a place on the commission
had been made him.
In the same way it is now under
stood that the vacant place on the
commission has been offered TO Sena-
tor George Gray of Delaware, one of
the leading Democratic members or the
senate and a member or the minority
on the foreign relations committee.
Senator Gray had a long conference
with the president today. The confer
ence related partly to the work of
the Canadian commission, of which
Senator Gray is a member, and partly
to the peace commission. While the
senator has not definitely indicated his
acceptance of the peace commissioner
ship, it is regarded as not unlikely that
he will finally be the fifth member or
the commission.
Secretary Day will probably not re-
sumo the discharge of the functions OF
secretary of state, and 1t may be as
sumed that his connection with the de-
partment save in the capacity of a
peace commissioner, terminated when
he left Washington for OHIO recently
Upon his return to Washington it is
expected that he will come to the state
department for the purpose of bidding
farewell to the employees.
Arrangements for the departure OF
the commissioners are being pushed.
Acting Secretary Moore, with the as
sistance of Mr.. Macarthur, is giving a
great deal of time to the collection of
documents and charts needed by the
American peace commissioners in their
work. and the subjects likely to arise
in connection with the negotiations are
receiving the closest study at the hands
of those gentlemen. Especially is this
true of the Philippines, which promises
to be the bone of contention before the
commission, and consequently Acting
Secretary Moore is devoting the best
share of his attention to that phase Of
the subject. ~
To establish a clear understanding of
the scope of the commissions power,
it is stated upon authority that this
body is not in any sense judicial, but
purely diplomatic. The procedure will
not be of a character where numerical
voting strength will determine any
proposition, but the commissioners on
each side are expected to act as sep
arate units. Should differences arise,
they must be settled by the ordinary
course of diplomatic negotiation.

NEVADA FUSION PLAN.
Silver Party Furnishes Candidates
and Democrats Furnish Votes.

L
Reno, New, Sept. 6.-Democratic
state delegates and silver party dele
gates together with a goodly number
of candidates, are now on the conven-
ton grounds, with more Gaming by
every train. Those who are Democrat
ic candidates seem to favor fusion with
the silver party, but the rank and file
of the party favor going it alone. They
say that as the national Democratic
party has come out strongly for silver,
they can see no object in keeping up a
sideshow organization for the benefit of
would-be office holders.
Hon. George Russell Of Elko county,
is about the only Democratic candidate
for governor. but the chances are that
Russell will be sidetracked in favor Of
silver, and that party's prominent can
didate for governor-R. Sadler, the
present incumbent. Knowing ones say
that the Democrats will only meet and
organize and then take a recess until
Thursday. when the silver party con-
veption meets. The insiders hope that
fusion will be arranged on equitable
lines. In case of fusion the following
nominations will likely be made:
Congressman, Francis G.. Newlands,
silver; governor. r. Sadler. silver; lieu
tenant governor, Lem Allen, silver; su
preme judge, C. II. Belknap, silver,
comptroller, G. NJ. Humphrey, Demo
crat; secretary of state, Eugene How
ell, silver; surveyor general, E. D. KEEL
ley, silver; superintendent of schools,
E E. Winfrey, silver; attorney general,
J. D. Jones, silver; state printer A.
Maute, silver; treasurer. ID. t. Ryan,
silver, with w. J. Westerfieid. candidate
for treasurer, making a strong fight.
1t is only conjecture as yet. but from
the way the wind is blowing, the above
pretty clearly outlines the situation.
The name of A. c. Cleveland of White
Pine county will be presented to the
Silver party state convention on Thurs
day, and Cleveland would be selling
ffrst-class now if Sadler did not have
such a start Cleveland is gaining
ground rapidly and may yet secure the

Washington, Sept. 6.-Considerable
complaint has reached the war depart
