Their Salaries Foot Up to Quarter

sum is paid to the clerks OF both the
lords, Each also gets n house rent
free.
The two clerks assistants get R1.5Ol

over his brother In the lords, for he gets
house as well.

sergeant at arms In the house OF COM
mons both get El,2OO. and the latter also
gets q house.
The reading clerk of the house OF
lords gets G9O0, while the examiner Tor
standing orders and the deputy sergeant
OF the hOuse OF commons each gets
$500.

rotary Hay had conference to-day
with Mr rover the charge Of the Brit,

kan modus yivendI. The secretary had
already given consideration to the last
proposition of the British government
and was prepared to submit the answer
from the United States, which in this
Gaze takes the form Of another propO-
Bition. This last proposition differs In
no essential than thatwhich has already
served as the basis Of the agreement
between Secretary Hay and Mr.. Tower,
but upon close scrutiny OF the latest
form II was deemed advisable by our
government to make few changes in
the text. solely with the view to clear
ing UP beyond any chance Of double
construction few Of the points Of the
agreement.
It is not doubted that the changes
will be acceptable to the British gov
eminent: indeed. they may be OF a
character that will warrant Mr Tower
in accepting them on his own response
bIlity. In such case the agreement
may be ratified in very short time
Mr., Tower may decide, however, to
submit the changes to the foreign Of
hce by cable. In which case the COM
pletion Of the agreement may be delay
ed for day or two.
There will be no formal document to
receive the signatures Of the parties to
the agreement, Us was the case In the

Arrival of ST. Paul Confirming
Reports of Last Week.
REBELS LOSE HEAVILY.

Manila. March 23.-The steam
er St. Paul arrived here today from
lloilo confirming reports of severe
fighting at Iloilo last week. The
loss to the American side was one
killed and fifteen wounded. The
enemy suffered a heavy loss.
The attacking party consisted of
about 5000 Filipino rifiemen. They
were opposed by a battalion of the
First Tennessee volunteers and
seven companies of the United
States regulars. The Americans
were supported by three Hotchkiss
guns stationed across the river.
The report that the rebels are
making an effort to concentrate
their forces at Malabon and Malo-
los for a general attack is believed
to be true. The authorities are
convinced that Aguinaldo intends
making final decisive effort.
About 300 head of cattle, hogs
and sheep, which were brought
over here from Hong Kong for
food for the troops, were found to
be infested with rinderpest, and
could not be used. Another con
