BACK TO TWO CENTS.
Chicago Morning Papers All Restore
the Old Price.

Chicago, July 3O-AIl the morning pa
pers of this city print an announcement
that on and after August 1 the price
will be two cents a copy. The increased
cost of white paper and the enhanced
general expenses due to the war are the
reasons for the advance. With the ex-
ception of the Chronicle, all print an
explanatory editorial. The Chronicle
makes the simple announcement.
The Tribune says:
THE morning papers of Chicago have
given the one cent retail price a faith
full trial for two and a half years and
some of them for a longer time Never
during the period has the rate been
profitable. After deducting the allow
ance in the city to the news agents,
carriers and newsbOys, there is left to
the Chicago publishers only half a cent
per copy. That is scarcely enough to
pay for the white paper. The war has
swelled the pay rolls and the telegraph
bills and added Immediately and largely
to the cost of white paper. The war
may be over in a short time, but the
results of the war will remain. But,
leaving the present war out of consid-
Grafton, the outlay attendant upon the
collection of the news of the world
which is being covered with a net work
of telegraph lines, is increasing in an
accelerating ratio"
The Record says:
THE paper is worth two cents. It
cannot be continued to be produced
with moderately adequate financial re-
turns at the constantly increasing out
lay necessarily involved. This increased
cost of production, covering all of the
chief elements from white paper to war
news, is unavoidable under present con-
ditiOns."
The TimeS-Herald says:
1.-The rate of one cent was insufficient
to cover the cost of white paper. Since
the beginning of the war there has been
a large increase in the cost of white
paper which has, of course, increased
the loss on each copy of the newspap per.
notwithstanding the enormous increase
in the expense on account of the war,
there has been no increase from adver-
Using in the revenues of the Chicago
papers. In fact, some lines of adver-
Using affected by the government war
tax declined heavily or ceased alto
eether The Times Herald desires to
do business on a business basis and this
is not possible upon the basis of ona
cent a copy. hence the decision to re
turn to the former selling price of two
cents

SMALL MATTER OF COAL
Makes Something for the Attorneys
in Court to Laugh About.

When Judge z. T. Hazen and Attor-
ney s. B. Isenhart dissolved their law
partnership under the firm name of
Hazen 4 Isenhart, in December, 1892
they agreed to settle the accounts soon
afterWard and strike a. balance. When
this occurred there was a dispute as to
some of the claims.
Judge HaZen was elected to the dis
trict court and Attorney Isenhart con-
Quoted a private law office from that
time until the present time. The dis
pute which they had failed of settle
1nSnI, so a law suit was begun by Judge
Hazen, represented by H c. Stafford
Attorney Eugene Wolfe was Mr.. Isen-
hartS attorney. The suit was brought
TO secure an accounting of the partner
snip. Judge HaZen took executions to
several entries made and charged to
MIN as partnership share. Mr. Isen-
mart, on the other hand, made answer
that Judge Hazen had collected fees
after the partnership was dissolved
which were due him personally and to
which he Judge Hazen) had no legal
claim The matter dragged along and
mas finally come up in the district
court Tor hearing, with Attorney Matt
Campbell presiding

PEACE OBSTACLE.
The Philippines Likely to BE a
Stumbling Block
In the Way of Negotiations For
Peace.
SHOULD KEEP THEM
That is the Opinion of All
Europe
Except Perhaps Germany and
Spain.
SHOULD KEEP THEM

Washington, July 30.-It is stated in
a high diplomatic quarter, in such man
ner as to give semi official character to
the expression, that if American con-
troll or supervision of the Philippines is
an indispensable condition laid down as
the basis for peace negotiations it was
practically certain the Spanish govern
ment would not accede to this condition
but would determine rather to continue
the war. As to the other peace cOndi-
lions understood to have been decided
by the cabinet, those who are best able
to judge the disposition of the Spanish
government feel that while these terms
are hard, yet they do not present any
fnSurmO untab BILE barrier to the speedy
restoration of peace, and while there is
no authority for saying Spain would ac
cept these terms and retire from Cuba
and Porto Rico, there is every indica-
ton that she would yield rather than to
cOntiue a disastrous war. But the fu-
ture of the Philippines appears to be of
as much concern to the Spanish gov
net just now and there is even greater
Spanish sovereignty over this group
islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t is
said also that the failure to demand
a money indemnity viii be appreciated
by the Spanish authorities as an act of
noble generosity by the victors, and
this will in part reconcile the govern
ment to a compliance with the other
terms laid down

Trying Situation.

London, July 30-The Times in an
editorial this morning, on the terms of
peace, confines itself to a discussion
of the questions raised in the Philip
pines 1t says:
1T seems equally difficult for America
to take or leave them. Spain had
trouble enough to hold them before the
war. She will be still more embarrassed
now, and probably would not remain
long without tempting offers from some
of the powers, which her poverty might
impel her to accept
Had America demanded a cession of
the Philippines outright Spain could
hardly have avoided yielding. Now
she may find in her very weakness the
means of sOftening the other conditions
of peace. For, since, the United States
have decided that the islands are not
worth annexing. some arrangement
must be made with Spain to insure the
reversiOn of the islands to the United
States in the event Of Spain failing to
maintain a tOlerable government.
Here are all the elements of a bar
gain, which skillful diplomacy might
turn to Spain's advantage, but the
thing must be done quickly and the ad-
vantage not pressed too far"
