CLEVELAND. Ohio, October Ex-senator
Hanna repeated his charges of perfidy
against democratic senators pending the
ratification Of the treaty with Spain at a
meeting last night on the west side. The
senator said the democrat senators forgot
all their patriotism after the treaty was
sent to the committee on foreign relations,
and was by them opposed.
Said the senator: The democrats tried
to make political capital out of the treaty
and opposed it,
Ihey wanted to continue the war for no.
Htlcal purposes in the face of the verdict
OF the civilized world that the treaty was
a generous step on the part of the United
states. Almost every democrat on the
other side Of the chamber opposed the rati-
hc2tlon of the treaty. If that treaty had

WILL NOT MEET AGAIN.
No Further Sessions of the Joint High
COmmi issiOn.

1t is now learned that owing to the tenn
porary character of the settlement of the
Alaska boundary question there will be no
meeting of the Canadian joint high COM
mission The commission adjourned last
spring because of the deliberate statement
by the Canadian contingent that they
could not undertake to adjust any of the
other important questions before the COM
mission until the Alaskan boundary issue
was satisfactorily settled. If the arrange
ment effected yesterday had been perna-
nent in character instead of merely tenn
porary the field would thus have been
cleared for the resumption of the work of
the commission. but with that issue still
open 1t cannot be seen how the United
States commissioners could meet the Ca
madam demand. SO that it is regarded as
useless to attempt further meetings.
Therefore. the only manner in which the
commission can come together again will
be through the adoption some time in the
future by the governments of the United
States and Great Britain. through treaty,
of the modus arranged yesterday as a per-
manent solution of the boundary question.

PHILIPPINE COM MISSION
A Meeting of the Members Expected Some
time Next Week.
Administration Hopes to Make TanGf-
Bile Recomme endation to Con-
Eress Early.

A meeting of the Philippine commission
will probably be held in this city next
week. Secretary Hay has been notified
that Messrs. DENLY and Worcester will
reach Washington Monday. Prof. Schur-
man will probably come at the same time.
Admiral Dewey was assigned to special
duty, in connection with the meeting of
the commission, by an order issued by Sec
retary Long yesterday. He has been on
waiting orders since his return.
1t is apparent that the work Of the Phil
ippine commission in preparing recon-
mendatiOns for the governing of the islands
is to proceed simultaneously with the mill
tary operations to obtain control of them.
Gen. Otis is to catch the rabbit, while the
Philippine commission gets ready to help
Congress stew it.
The Administrations Hope.
1t is hoped by the administration that by
the time Congress reconvenes from the hol
iday recess something definite and tangible
with respect to the Philippine problem can
be laid before the legislative body. Yester-
days bulletin from Gen. Otis telling of the
proposed garrisoning of San Isidro, when
captured, was the first indication of the
real inception of the new fall campaign.
1t is expected that henCeforth he will push
steadily northward, garrisoning the cOun-
try as it is taken and closing in on the in
surgents.
Anxious for Results.
The administration leaders in Congress
are very anxious to have some results to
show when Congress meets. They realize
that the democrats will attack them. horse,
foot and dragoon. as soon as Congress
meets. There is capital to made for the
coming national elections The democrats
are not likely to lose any opportunities to
harvest supply.
For the present and until Otis accom-
plishes something the republicans will in
measure it is said, be the defensive.
Their time for aggression will come when
Otis wins out and a policy of action with
respect to the future of the islands is pre-
Sented.

British Loss at Glencoe, Six Officers,
Thirty one Men.
ABOUT zoo WERE WOUNDED
The Fighting Was Almost Con-
tinuous for Eight Hours.
d DETAILS OF THE FIGHT

LONDON, October 21.-The earliest dis
patches regarding yesterdays battle near
Glencoe conveyed the impression that the
whole affair was over in a couple of hours,
the British artillery silencing the Boer
guns and infantry. and then simply charg-
ing right over the hill. According TO the
latest adyiCes, however, the battle lasted
eight hours, and nearly seven hours
elarsted before the last Boer gun was put
out Of action.
The Irish Fusilcers and the Kings Rifles
meanwhile had advanced to the assault,
and were shooting their way up the hill,
driving the Beers back from shelter TO
shelter. until the final rush Of the British
carried them TO the summit.
1t was a bright. clear morning which
enabled the operations to be followed by
the staff officers without difficulty. A
curious fact was that several times a lull
occurred in the firing on both sides. the
British infantry apparently taking breath
ing space in the stiff climb, and the Beers
also holding back their fire.
The magnificent practice Of the British
guns was an immense help, and the sue
cess of the assault was greatly due thereto.
An enormous quantity of ammunition was
expended.
