THAT
CREMATORY.
Council Demands a State.
ment FromMr. Healy, !.
Relative to the
Plants Con-,
ditiOn.

IA bill from the Dixon Crsmatory for, SAC
rs, for seventy five now CRATES in the Gre
matory hero caused brief discussion In
Council last evening when ChairmanH Healy
presented 1t for payment Mr.. Oberly
called attention to the fact that when the
plant was installed here the company gave
bond to keep 1t in proper condition for a
year which lime expired on August 9th.
The finance committee chairman was
aware that the CRATES had been ordered
since that time, but he thought that if the
plant had been in proper condition at tho
expiration of the year there would have
been no need of tho CRATE bars so soon.
He therefore motioned that the bill be re-
ferred back to the crematory committee
and that with its presentation at the next
meeting there be report of tho condition
of the plant. Before there was second to
the motion Chairman Healy remarked
that the plant was in proper condition ut
the close OF the year covering the contract
and he Therefore saw no reason Why the
bill should not be paid.
Mrs. O'Neill agreed with him and I.Ob.
erly and In CONCLUSION said that the plant
had not given complete satisfaction whit h
h I'd led to considerable talk and he thought
that the committee shoulu hubmita report
in order that every one may know the con.
dition of the cremntory at tho expirntiun n
Of the contract year. There was not al
objection to his motion and it prevailed.

OUR OFFICIALS CONFIDENT.


Administration Encouraged Over the
Outlook at Paris.
Washington, Nov. 1S.--The adminis-
traton feels encouraged now over the
outlook for successful termination of
the labors of the peace commissioners
at Paris. Whether this renewed con-
fidence is based upon an abstract of the
Spanish reply which was submitted at
Wednesdays meeting or is founded
upon private advices indicating weak
enng of the Spanish position is not
known. but it is probable that both of
these have had an influence In bright
cning the prospects. The Spanish re-.
ply was not a surprise to the American
commissioners, who in fact had pre-
pared themselves in advance with In
structions received directly from the
president and Secretary Hay for
complete answer. Still. it was prob
ably regarded as better policy, and
more in accordance with the amenities
OF official exchange, that the Americans
should do the Spanish commissioners
the courtesy of giving deliberate con-
sderation to their carefully prepared
written argument.
But with all due intent to give proper
weight to the Spanish representations
1t must be said that up to this point
they have had very little effect in in
fluencng the American commissioners,
not because Of any obstinate disre-
gard of facts on their part, but for the
simple reason that almost every one
of the points made by the Spanish
commissioners had been anticipated in
the preparation of the American case
no small tribute to the acumen and
diligence of Judge Day and Secretary
John Moore. The attempt of the
Spanish commissioners to induce the
t1icricans to accept their construction
Ct the meaning of the protocol. where
It touches on the propositions, has
been fiat failure.

of Germany have sailed for Pola, at

that the emperor decided upon this
course because the temperature of the

Our commissioners Must NotAsk How
the Big Loans Have Been Used-Spain
Would Saddle All tho Debt On Our
Government.
Paris, Nov 1S-When the American
peace commissioners gathered for their
daily session yesterday the Spanish
presentment lay before them in En-
glish, ready for consideration and ac-
cOmpanied by data bearing upon 1t.
No unofficial person knows the con-
tents of the last document presented
by the Spanish commissioners. but 1t
is safe to assume that. added to her
insistence on the reservation Of her
Philippine sovereignty and her propo-
stlon to arbitrate the construction of
the third article of the protocol. Spain
has made two other important state
ments:
FirstThat on the high ground Of
financial probty she cannot allow any
discussion here of the validity of her
action in pledglng the resources Of the
Philippines for the payment of the
Philippine debt.
Second--That, In connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain
for her pacific expenditures in tho
Philippines. she cannot admit of any
inquiry as to how she has spent the
proceeds of the loans based on the
Philippine pledges.
II Spain has assumed this attitude.
and it is believed she has done so. she
practically compels the American COM
miss!oners to consider at least the en-
tire Philippine. debt and its assump.
ton by the United States or the Phil.
ipplnc Islands as condition to Spain's
amicable surrender of her sovereignty
over those islands. 1850
1t Is difficult to understand how the
Americans can reply to this in any
other manner than by strictly out
lining their position and giving the
Spanlards a time limit in which to
accept the propositions Of the United
States. But the American commits
sioners may patiently continue their
endeavors to arrive at an amicable un-
derSt lnding on the subject
