ONE WAR AT AN END.
Publications of The Peace Treaty With
Spain Exchanged Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, April II. The final
ceremony in the re-establishment of
peaceful relations between the United
States and Spain occurred at the White
House at 2 O'Clock yesterday, when
the President and Ambassador Cam
bon, of France, acting for Spain, ex-
changed Publications of the treaty of
peace. The Spanish copy, signed by
the Queen Regent and Premier Silvela,
arrived at the French embassy Tues
day. The officials called on Secretary
Hay, when arrangements for the cere-
mony were made.
The treaty forwarded by Spain is
handsomely engrossed on parchment,
in old English script, with wide
double columns, one in Spanish and
the other in English. Its binding is
of red morocco, heavily embossed in
gold, which gives the effect of the
yellow and red colors of Spain.
The United States copy was the
same they placed in the possession OF
the President. 1t is model of sim
plicity and neatness. The text is re-
produced in parallel columns, the left
in English, the right in Spanish, sur
rounded with a narrow border OF
National colors. The document is
enclosed in cover OF dark blue NOR
roco with the great seal of the United
States upon the face and d descriptive
design in gilt.
In the exchange of ratification the
Spanish copy was handed to President
Mckinley, to become the permanent
property of the United States, and
be preserved in the state department
At the same time the President hand
ed to Ambassador Cambon, for Spain
the American copy, which will become
the property of Spain

rhc Man Who Can 30 Business.
Pittsburg Times.

The man who can do something
is in demand in all directions now.
From the little towns and from the
big ones come the same story. Car;
penters are in demand in one place.
Machine operators are scarce in an
other section. Men who can do one
thing or another are so needed that
wages are going up that men who
are employed may be kept where
they are. The man whose hand is
trained is winning the benefits of
the training. The man who knows
how to do but little is finding en-
ploymcnt with comparative ease,
provided he will take that which ia
accomplished by main strength and
awkardness alone but he does not
get the wages. The man who will
not do the cheapest kind of work,
and who does not know how to dc
the high priced kind, is the man
who is out Of a job now. He is the
last to fall in with anything, and
the first to lose it. The high priced
men are always in demand. They
are the men who can do something.
The most helpless man in tbs
world Is the man who has had nc
training that makes him competent
to do something tho world needs
done.

MANY PENSIONS WANTED.
Applications Of the Men who Fought
against Spain.

Commissioner OF Pensions Ii 4.
Clay Evans has prepared schedule
of the number of applications for pen
sions filed by nhevarious regiments
that served in the Spanish war up to
March 81. The number of claims
does not appear to bear any relation
to the amount of active service seen
by soldiers, as several regiments that
were constantly in the front of battle
are not included in the list of those
presenting the largest number of
claims. The 34th Michigan volun
teer infantry has filed more applica
tions than any other regiment of
volunteers or regulars. Three hun
dred and ninety eight officers and
men from that State are looking for
public funds, being one out Of every
three soldiers. This regiment was
in General Duffield's brigade in
Cuba. Second and third on the list
are the 1st District of Columbia
volunteers and the 8th Ohio regi-
ment of volunteers, neither of which
landed in Cuba until after the fight
ing was practically over. The Dis
triet regiment filed 1852 applications
and the Sth Ohio only three less, or
$40. The Ninth Massachusetts,
comes fourth, with 319 claims, and
the End Massachusetts, with 3l7
applications, stands fifth. When
asked to give the names of the Off
GERS who had applied for pensions,
Commissioner Evans positively re-
fused to do so, saying that he did
not want any animosities stirred up
among the men of the regiments.
