 The question of the alleged paper com bine was discussed as was also the latest improved mechanical devices for publishing newspapers. Views were interchanged as to the present advertising rates in the south and the best methods of increasing circulation.

DATE FOR EVACUATION.
Spanish Troops Will be Under Protec.
 ton oJ United States After Jan. l.

Havana November 1.-As cabled yes- terday the date for the Spanish evacuation has been definitely settled as January l. All the Spanish troops then remaining in the island will be quartered under protec- tion of the United States in camps es- pecially designated, pending authorization for Spain.
 The stenographic report of yesterdays joint session of the evacuation commis- sioners was signed this afternoon by the Spanish, the Americans having previously attached their signatures.
 Nothing was definitely settled at yester- days joint session regarding the question of movable property and it is understood that the subject will be referred to the re- spective governments for consideration. The Spanish troops will carry their small arms, colors, field pieces and the entire equipment of an army in the field. The landing place at Mariana was today turned over officially to General Hum phreys, who is the ranking quartermaster of the United States troops in the island This morning the pier and wharf were in- spected by General Green, General Hum- phreys and Colonel Hecker, who expressed themselves as satisfied with the work.
 Manuel Sanguily of the special commis- sion from the Cuban assembly at Santa Cruz Del Sur, who left yesterday for the United States, was followed today by his colleagues, who went by the Sigurancia. General Garcia was taken by tug from | .aya de Marianoa to the Ward liner. This was to prevent any demonstration such as might have ensued had the Cuban special commissioner passed through Havana. Many went on board the Segurancia to say farewell and to wish the commissioners success at Washington No Cuban flags, however, were displayed in the harbor and there were no disorders of any kind. : General Garcia said that he and his asso- ciates on the commission were very san guine as to the outcome of their examina- tion interview with President Mckinley.

high and intrepid resolution which will make his administration illustrIous as ad- ding new jewels to the casket of liberty. He had no ambition to open a new epoch in our history and lead the country in new could But when, in the providence of stage of national development he bravely nized destiny.
 But one thing we do know and that Is that whatever may come, whatever doubt or difficulty the president will meet it with sure insight, with unfailing sagacity, with calm courage and with firm and confi- dent reliance on the patriotism of the American people. He will be governed not by personal desire, but a profound. con- victon of public duty. Have we great problems? Are we perplexed about the disposition of far off domains where Amer ican valor has unfurled the American flag? Who would turn them back to Spain? Who would invite the divided and contentious sovereignty? What then remains but manly acceptance of the responsibilities which have been laid upon us?
 Viewer fear the capacity of the American people to deal with these questions. The Anglo-Saxon blood is equal to every emer- gency and the American variety Is not in- ferior to any other. We shall not fail of greatness through craven fear of being great And so let us face the faith, the high courage and the indomtable purpose which are worthy of our history and our destinVu

Several Hundred Shots Were Fired But
 No Blood Was Shed.

Pana, H., November 17.-Non-union col- ored miners and white strikers clashed in the streets of this city again today. Sev- eral hundred shots were fired, but the com batants did their shooting from behind trees and hedges, consequently no blood was shed. The trouble is said to have been started by an unknown negro firing upon Wesley Pope, striker. Pope says he was walking near the Springside colliery where the negroes are quartered when he was fired upon. He secured a rife and rein forcements. Meantime the negroes ap- peared in force and the shooting became general. After several hundred shots had been exchanged the negroes retreated to the stockade. No damage was done The militia arrived too late to get into action, but are patrolling the Springside district tonight in force.

Decatur, November 17.-(Speeial.)- .)-Mrs. Clyde Palmer died this eevning at 6:3O from the effects of severe burns resulting from an explosion of coal oil can while at tempting to kindle fire.
 About 10 o'clock this morning she att tempted to rekindle a fire in the kitchen stove, preparatory to getting the monday meal, by pouring little coal oil upon the wood and coal. The oil did not seem to take effect, and after short wait, as she was in the act of again replenishing it, the fluid burst into mass of flames, which en- tered the oil can and caused a terrific ex- plosion. and covered the lady with a mass of burning oil.
 bed being near, she jumped into it, in an attempt to extinguish her flaming gar ments, but the result was that she ignited the bedding and was compelled to seek ref uge elsewhere. Rushing from the house into an alley, she was placed into a puddle of water Git had rained hard the night pre- vious) by some workmen who were near by. and the flames were soon extingushed. She was then carried into the house, where the fire was easily conquered and medical aid summoned. Three doctors responded to the call, pr. M. W. Murray taking the case in charge, but they had small hope for her recovery, although she remained conscious.
 Soon, however, she died, surrounded by many friends.
 Burned in Horrible Manner
 The clothing was completely burned from the body and great cakes of mud were baked to the body in horrible manner. The body was very badly charred except the feet MT. Palmer was summoned from his work and when he reached her bed she was still conscious and, in fact, remained conscious until the hour of her death al- though the suffering was severe.
 Mrs. Palmer (nee Oldhouse) was only about eighteen years of age.
 She was very popular among the young people and well known throughout both cities and the surrounding vicinity. She was the adopted daughter of pr. and Mrs. Weller, who moved here during her ex- treme youth. At the death of Dr. Weller she came into considerable property, which placed her very comfortably for life
 A week ago today the town was surprised to learn of her romantic marriage in Pu- laski, Tenn, to MT. Palmer of this place, where the young couple had eloped for that purpose. MT. Palmer is an employe of the Louisville and Nashville shops here. The couple were just becoming cozily fixed in their new home on Hamilton street when the accident occurred.
