MUST OBSERVE PROTOCOL
American Peace Commissioners Will Not
Yield to Demands for Return of Customs
Collections] at Manna: Will Insist r1...
Anerica Shall Observe Faithfully All
Clauses of the Protocol.
Paris, Nov. 10.-—Yesterday's session
of the peace commissions began at 12.13
p. m., and ended at 3 p. 111.. The Am-
ericans presented the answer of the
United States to the claims submitted
on Friday in behalf of Spain.
The document consisted of nearly fif-
ty,.,sheets of typewritten matter.
The American presentation was a re-
futation of the Spanish allegation that
because the words “possession." “own-
ership” or “cession” do not occur in the
protocol clause touching upon the Phi-
lippine islands, the peace commissions
have no right to discuss them here,
and that even if they did it must be
in the light of the alleged fact of an
exterior agreement that Spain’s sov-
ereignty should not be impaired. ,
The Americans also answered Spain’s
claim for the restitution to her of pub-
lic money and customs collections tak-
en by the United States oificialgsince
the capitulation of Manila, and made
reply to Spain’s claims for an indemni-
ty on account of the alleged imprison—
ment by? the United States authorities
of Spanish troops of Manila and for
their consequent restraint from being
of service to Spain in the suppression
of the insurrection and the preserva-
tion of property.
Paris, Nov. 10.——The Gaulois says:
“It is certain that the Spanish peace
commission will maintain that all
clauses of the protocol must be faith-
fully observed by the Americans, as
they have been by the Spaniards, re-
garding Cuba and Porto Rico. The
Spanish commission holds that no dis-
cussion on the Philippines can be tol-
erated, and that the sovereignty of
Spain over these islands will be main-
tained. ,
“Spain, before admitting the possi—
bility of any agreement in regard to
the archipelago, exacts that the United
States recognize that her rights in the
Philippines are unassailable.”

Norfolk, Nov. 9.—The transport Port
Victor, which came up from Santiago
yesterday afternoon, landed about for-
ty immuues from the Fifth and Sixth

sailors, ,whose times had expired.
She then sailed for New York. The

SURGEON-GENERAL WYMAN’S PLANS
The Marine Hospital omcers There.
, Washington, Nov. 10.—Dr. Wyman,
surgeon general of the Marine Hospital
service, when questioned yesterday as
to the letter Dr. Brunner is reported to
have written him from. Havana, urging
his immediate presence there, said that
he had not yet received this letter, and
was not in a position to say what he
should do when he did receive it.
Two physicians of .his service, he
said, are already on the spot, where
they are doing duty as inspectors to
prevent the transmission of yellow fe-
ver to the United States, and two oth-
ers, who, were engaged in a scientific
investigation of yellow fever when in-
terrupted by the outbreak ..of the war,
are on their way to Cuba to renew this
work.
The intimation conveyed by his com-
ments was that he did not personally
feel that he was called upon to go to
Cuba.
At the treasury department it was
stated that there seems to be no neces-
sity for Dr. Wymanfs going, and that
the department would feel very loath
to let him leave the country at this
juncture on account of his remarkable
organizing powers, and the need of
keeping an officer of that sort at the
head of affairs at home.
Movementl of Battleships.
Brooklyn, Nov. 10.—Repairs to the
battleship Massachusetts at. the navy
yard are practically completed and she
is taking on ammunition. After coal-
ing she will leave the yard on Wednes-
day, November 16, and anchor off
Tompkinsville waiting orders.
A consignment of six hundred men
arrived at the navy yard yesterday by
way of the Pennsylvania railroad from
Newport News to take the places of
the men who went on the Buffalo last
week to Manila to fill the complements
on the ships under Rear Admiral Dew-
ey. They were taken to the receiving
ship Vermont and are ready for draft.
When the navy department decided
to lay up the torpedo boats the Brook-
lyn yard was selected as the place of
rest. With a view of accommodating
these vessels there is now being laid
in and along the slip from which the
Maine was launched a marine railroad,
and alongside the slip heavy timbers
are being placed, twenty feet apart,
to which the boats will be shifted and
laid away, it having been decided that
this is the best way to preserve the
vessels, which have a skin of but three-
sixteenths of an inch, from the corrod-
ing and rusting influences of the wa-
ter.
When the boats are thus laid up a
shed will be built over them for pro-
tection from the influences of the ele-
ments. The torpedo boats coming to
ter, Ericsson, Winslow and Cushing.
South Carolina Race Trouble.
Charle'ston, S. 0., Nov. 10.—A special
from Greenwood, S. C., says:
Intense excitement prevailed here all
day yesterday because of the shooting
of Boaz Etheridge, one of the elect-ion
judges at Phoenix, and a subsequent
riot between the whites and the blacks
at that place, in which J. R. Tolbert
and several negroes were mortally
wounded.
The negroes had a separate box, in
charge of Tolbert, in which those who
could not vote in the regular boxes
could deposit certificates that they
were not allowed to vote for R. R'.
Tolbert for Congress, which certificates
he eXpected to use in his contest for
Latimer’s seat.
Mr. Etheridge attempted to take the
box in charge and was shot dead by
around it.
Immediately the few white men who
could procure arms or had them, open-
ed fire on the crowd.
The whites, several hundred strong.
are well armed and determined, and
if the leaders in Tuesday's trouble are
caught no power on earth can save
them from a lynching.

ing in Norwalk.
Readers of the South Norwalk papers
have been familiar with it for over two
years. At first it created considerable
excitement and "the residents were
anxious and curious to know whose
statement would be the next publisi'd.
Week after week went by and the good
people of South N orwalk ceased to
wonder. and settled down to the fact
that what so many of their neighbors
said must be true. What was success-
ful in South Norwalk, is successful in
N orwalk. Any medicinal preparations
that carries out its representations to
the letter, like Doan’s Kidney Pills,
becomes a. house-hold necessity. Ask
any citizen of South N orwalkwhat will
cure their back; the answer invariably
is Doan’s Kidney Pills. One of those
whose testimony has helped to push
the good work along is Mr. Frank St.
”John, N o. 56 Taylor avenue, a.- lock-
smith by trade, in the employ of the
N orwalk Look 00., who says:
“I am not the only one engaged in the
calling who suifers from backache, ag-
gravated by the constant change of
position and the bending and stooping.
There are others in the factory and in
the city I know who are troubled in the
same way. I had some disorder of my
kidneys which led to a constant and
painful backache. I procured a box of
Doan’s Kidney Pills at a drug store
and they brought about entire relief.
I am only too pleased to recommend so
valuable a. preparation.” .

Pets Travel In Baskets.
,Not to be debai'i'ed from carrying
Fido on railroads where dogs are not
allowed, except in baggage cars, the
upvto-date woman has adopted an in-
genious device. Some of the large.
stores have been displaying unique
wicker baskets of a pattern and finish
which immediately attract the atten-
tion of the shopper. These baskets
are shaped like an ordinary market
basket, though finished a little more
artistically, and are opened at one
end for ventilation, but barred by rat-
tan rails to prevent Fido from escap-
ing. Madam can carry her pet on
board a train and, provided the dog or
tabby makes no noise, she is free
from detection.
Other shops are showing bags
for cats, parrots, monkeys and dogs.
These bags come in all sizes, are oil-
cloth lined, and shield the pet from
the conductor’s objecting eyes. Each
end of the satchel has heavy wire
gratings, which admit the air, and
may be instantly covered by canvas
screens in case a railroad official
comes uncomfortably neon—«Philadel-

* 1r WAS uis FATE.
“It's very evident that I have come
down in the world—I am a working
man, but l’m not the average kind
of working man, I’ll swear,” said
Archibald resolutely, as he drew on a
pair of made-tomder jeans trousers
which contrasted strangely with the
several other costly suits decorating
the bare garret walls.
He began to think of how little use
his fifteen years of careful school
training had been to him in his strug-
gle for existence. He pictured him-
self in his recent search for work,
going from door to door asking for
employment, and not knowing what
on earth he should do if any were of-
fered him. ‘
His father had died in New York
and left him pennil-ess in San Fran-
habits. _
Archibald, naturally unpractical,
had been rendered doubly helpless by
a seven-year college course and the
settled conviction that he would never
have to work for a living.
The five hundred dollars which the
estate yielded went no further than
his father’s blessing. Archibald had
used the former to finish his education
by a. trip around the world, but owing
to an avg-indulgence in curios he had
found himself stranded in San Fran-
cisco, and if the position of plumber’s
cub _;had not been vacant he could
hardly have seen anything ahead but
starvation.
Just then he heard footsteps upon
the outside staircase, leading to his
garret. A glance through a. broken
pane of glass disclosed Polly, the
laundry girl. She would probably come
here.
“They’re deucedly accommodating
about mywash,” he said to himself.
“I owe them for bwo monrths back.
I bet that girl pays for it out of her
own pocket.”
In the midst of his perplexities
Archibald 'had fallen in love without
intending it.
Polly lodged in the same tenement;
she had seen him ascending and des-
cending the long outside staircase and
had marked (his troubled and discour-
aged mien.
Casually, at the' “Plumbers’ Rag,”
and later at the “Laundry Hop,” she
had become acquainted with Archi-
bald.
Polly had now visited all the other
tenants; she would be here in a, min-
ute.
The room was in a sad plight.
Archibald hastily donned a tennis
jacket, parted his hair with his long,
slim fingers, and made the bed.
A knock and she entered. Archie
tendered her the soap box, but she
sat down on the edge Of her basket
and begged him to keep his “chair.”
They fell to chatting lightly about
any and everything, and Archibald
presently forgot to feel out of place;
he even became hilarious, but a. ques-
tion of Polly’s brought him suddenly
to himself,-
“Why won’t you go to the ‘Working
Ladies’ .Hop ‘3’ ”
“I shouldn’t enjoy it.”
“But you go to the
Rag?”
“Yes, I do; my business requires it
and the boys demand it.”
“Well, it wouldn’t hurt you to come
to the hop. Do you know what the
boys call you at the shop?”
“The dude plumber. I take it as
a compliment.”
“You needn’t think the ‘Working
Ladies’ Hop’ isn’t proper. Nothing
but ice cream and cake—lights out at
two o’clock. There, now, take your
ticket and we’ll look for you.”
“This is drawing rapidly to a cri-
sis,” Archibald thought, as he stood
mediatively holding a dance-hall tick-
et in his hand, while the sound of
l’olly’s quickly descending steps
upon the stairs echoed through the
garret. “But what of. my Eastern rel-
atives? Well, there’s not much argu-
ment there.” '
His eye li-t upon hislast‘telegram
from them. ‘It said:
“Archie, you’ll have to scratch for
yourself, now.”
This is what the financier of the
family had wrote when he sent for
ready money.
“I’ve about half decided to let the
girl have her way,” he said, as he tore
the yellow dispatch to fragments.
* 3 * =3 :1: *
That night the tall, frame tenement
went up in flames. Archibald stood
at the top of the stairs, watching the
others making frantic eflort-s to es-
cape.
“Why are they so anxious to save
their miserable lives?” the thought.
Just then the volumes of smoke
rolled away; he saw that the long.
iron bunnlster was still intact, and
decided to slide to the second story.
He found the feat an easy one.
At the second landing someone was
pounding violently at a. door which
‘Plumbers’
Archibald threw his full
against it and broke the lock. _
“How stupid of me not to think it
was your room!”
But Polly was too badly frightened
to speak even after they had reached
a. place of safety. N
In a few days, however, she was as
bright and buoyant as ever, and in
some mysterious way which will nev-
er be told by either, Archibald felt it
was time to surrender.
“I’m going to start a steam laundry
of my (five. I’ve saved the money
up. All I want is a man.”
In all seriousness Archibald
gested,—
“Why don’t you get a Chin-aman?"
It didn’t sound half so brutal until
it was spoken. and then there was only
one way to apologize. Archie was
the man needed, and he gave his con-
sent. ’
