White party of Michigan, representing
fifty people, have returned over the
Edmonton trail from the Peace river
country. after travelling through 1900
miles of rough country and undergoing
many hardships. They r. turned emp

of territory. They found evidences of
gold everywhere, but not one pan

pointing. Hundreds of Americans are
coming back over the trail under the
terrific winter conditions.

Being young and enthusiastic, I began
to enlarge on its wonders. telling him
how we could measure the distances

the coming OF a comet or an eclipse
years in advance OF its actual occur

of mountains without scaling them and
many other things which I meant

how he set me back when he replied
to this brilliant array of facts by say

Paris, Oct. 21.-Thc consideration by
the peace commissioners OF the dispo-
sition of the Porto Rico and the La

with the Cuban question, and all the
points involved are being carried for
ward to n Simultaneous conclusion.
When this has been arrived at the

OF course, there is n possibility of n
disagreement. and the SpanIards, IL
the American commissioners decide to
assume any portion of the Cuban in
debtedness may announce their un-
willingness to proceed any further with
negotiations based upon the protocol.
Should the Spanish decide to do this
1t will be because they wish to excite
the pity of their creditors and Of other
nations. The Cortcs may then be
asked to indorse their action.
In fact, the Spaniards may even pre-
fer resumption of hostilities to ac-
quiescence in the American refusal to
share their financial burden.
