THE.PARIS_P_ll_ICE PARTY
Brief Joint Session of Commission
‘___ Without Results.
PAY PoILTIIP. PHILIPPINES
The Spanish Argument Presented and
Adjournment Taken Until Saturday.
A Statement; from Madrid that the
Conferences \Vill Continue.
_ Paris, Nov. 17.—The meeting yester-
day of the Spanish-American peace
commissions began at 2.15 p. m., and
ended at 3 p. in.
At the session the Spanish commis-
sioners presented a long document on
the Philippine question in answer to
the American argument, which was
submitted last week.
By mutual consent the memorandum
.was handed to the Americans without
being read, and the meeting adjourned
until next Saturday.
The Spaniards, in their communica-
tion yesterday reaffirmed the position
,which they have assumed against the
discussion here of Spain’s Philippine
shy: reignty.
, 'I‘zey insist that the words “shall do-
fei nine the control, disposition and
gen ernment of the Philippines,” in ar-
tir 1e 3 of the .peace protocol, do not
.1" errant any reference to Spain's with-
dxawalfrom the Philippines, except on
her own terms, and, therefore, the
Spaniards propose arbitration on the
construction to be placed on the words,
“the control, disposition and govern-
ment.”
The Spanish communiéation was
translated last evening, and its con-
tents will be discussed by the United
States commissioners to-day at their
usual daily session.
The Journal, referring to the peace
negotiations, says: “We think that the
extravagant exactions of the United
States have made discussion almost
impossible between that country and
Spain. Nothing but submission on the
part of Spain seems possible. As the
rumored intervention of the German
emperor is a myth, Spain should rec-
oncile herself to the inevitable and set
herself about preparing for future
struggles."

i" Madrid, Nov. 7.—The minister of
foreign affairs, Duke Almodovar do
Rio, has received dispatches from the
Spanish peace commissioners, now in
Paris, indicating that yesterday’s mee-
‘ting of the joint commissions will not
‘be the last. ,
The commissioners have received ad-
ditional instructions to defend Spain‘s
rights in the Philippine islands.
. The mnister of marine, Senor Aunon,
and the minister of foreign affairs have
conferred on the subject of Emperor
William’s visit to Spain.
The newspapers discuss the Carlist
agitation, but express belief that the
ifollowers of Don Carlos will not issue
‘a revolutionary manifesto.
Pay for the Philippines.
VVashingtor, Nov. 7.—-—Up to this
point, the discussion at Paris having
touched on principles, there has been
no attempt to give exact figures in re-
lation to the amount of money ‘ that
might be paid to Spain by the United
States on account of the Philippines.
Such, for instance, was the statement
that the United States would reim—
burse Spain ”for the pacific expendit-
ures” made on account of the Philip—
pines, for no one here at the time had
an exact knowledge of what these ex-
penditures amounted to in the aggre-
gate. .
This has been ascertained, however,
to the satisfaction of the American
commissioners, at least, and they will
name the exact amount of money
which the United States is willing to
pay over to Spain on this account.
'What is proposed is a cash payment
to the Spanish government for the
United States does not propose to ex.-
ter into' any relations whatever with
any of: the holders of any of the bonds
issued by Spain, notwithstanding the
efforts of some of the European pow-
ers to bring this result about.
.As to the amount which will be of-
fered to Spain, the officials her-3 are
mute, but it is believed to lie some-
where between twenty million and for-
ty million dollars.
C-ur commissioners do not look for
an unconditional rejection of our offer
but believe that there will be an at-
tempt on the part of the Spanish com-
missioners to secure a. liberal increase
of the amount named.
The Amclcan commissioners are un-
der instructions to inform the Spanish
commissioners that there can be no
further delay in the final conclusion
:of the work of the commission, so that
it is expected that a conclusion one“
way or the other will be reached be-
fore long.
Stronghold Captured by Boers.
Pretoria, Nov. 7.——The Boer forces,
after a heavy musketry and artillery
bombardment, have stormed and cap-
tured the mountain stronghold of Chief
Opefu of the Bagatos tribe, in the
'Z-outtans Berg district.
Opefu recently massacred a mission—
aryand his family, and the Transvaal
government sent an expedition to pun—
ish the natives.
The latter attacked the' Boers, but
were driven into the mountains.
Two Boers were killed, during the
storming of the stronghold.-

Washington, D. 0., Nov. 17.——Secre~
tary Alger left Washington at mid-
night forPhiladelphia. to visit Cramp’s

transports the government was ablig-
ed to employ during the war.
, The Dreyfus Scandal.
Paris. Nov. 17.—A commissary of
. police has notified M. Francis de Pres-
sense, the well known writer, political
economist and Dreyfus agitator, of his
formal expulsion from the Legion of
Honor. ' .

denunciation of certain oflicero for
their treatment of Dreyful.

SALE OF FOOTBALL TICKETS.
Enormous Demand for Seats for Yale-
Ilarvard Game.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 17.—The
public sale of tickets for the Yale-Har-
vard game began at nine o’clock yes-
terday morning, and within ‘fifteen
minutes the three hundred or more sit-
tings on the end stands and on the
newly built ones in corners were dis-
posed of, going in lots of two and
three to each purchaser. ‘ '
A small army of speculators was
ready to gobble up lots of ten, as they
expected first comers would be served
with as many as asked for.
Three of the speculators stood in
line from 4.30 in the morning and oth--
ers paid representatives to hold places
for them.
Every supposed speculator was ta-
booed by a spotter and the ticket sel—
ler refused them seats.
It required the assistance of a poliCe-
man to handle them.
Never at a Yale—Harvard gameyhas
the demand been so great for seats,
despite the twenty-six hundred extra
ones added this year.

GOLD PRODUCTION AND COINAGE.
Figures from the Report of the Director.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 7.—The re—
port of the director of the mint, to be
made public in about a. week, will con.-
tain some surprises. .
The gold coinage of the world ,, for
the year ending June 30 last, will be
shown to have been about double that
of any preceding year, and this in spite
of the fact that the coinage in the
United States was not quite up to the
recent average. . .
This was due to the lack of mint fa-
cilities, which still continues.
We have to-day $134,000,000 worth of ‘
gold bullion ahead of the minting
presses. But while the United States
was not increasing in its gold coinage,
Russia and Japan were making long
strides, and throughout Europe there
was a generally increased output.
In the case of the two countries nam-
ed, however, the extraordinary move--
ment of the year just closed was large-
ly due to the accumulation in previous
years of gold bullion in preparation for
putting the finances of the nation
squarely on the gold basis.
“But the real test of the abundance
of gold,” said Mr. Roberts, director of
the mint, yesterday afternoon, “is to
be found in the statistics of production
rather than of coinage. In 1888 the
output of the world was only $110,000,-
000, while in the calendar year 1897 it
reached $237,000,000, and will this year
go as high as $275,000,000. Returns al-
ready in show that South Africa. will
increase last year’s output by $20,000,-
000; Australia by $10,000,000, and Cana-
da by $6,000,000 or $8,000,000. The Uni-
ted States will probably show some in-
crease, but how much it is now impos-
sible to predict with safety.
“The figures for the Yukon product,
which have not yet been published of-
ficially, are as follows: From the first
of July till the first of November we
received at Seattle and San Francisco
a little more than $10,000,000 in gold
from that quarter. This is rather above
the expectations of the office.”
A THE NICARAGUA GRANT. .1- __~
..‘..
Ex-Mayor Grace and Associates Get New
LM'M mr$Concessiom it?!” wagging."
New York, Nov. 17.—E. F. Cragin of
Chicago, who engineered the purchase
of the concession for the building of
the Nicaragua canal in the interest
of the Grace syndicate, arrived here
yesterday on the fruiter Allegheny,
from Greytown. -
He was accompanied home by Colo-
nel Alexander Bacon and Mr. Eyre of
the firm of W. R. Grace & Co., and a
corps of civil engineers belonging to
the corporation.
Mr. Cragin says that the syndicate
which he represents has now full con-
trol of the building of the interoceanic
canal, and that the old grant, for
years held by the Warner Miller syn-
dicate, has been cancelled and that at
the opening of the Nicaraguan con-
gress in extraordinary session recently,
President Zolaya, in a message, said:
“I shall give you an account of a pro-
mise of a contract for the opening of
an :interoceanic canal through our
isthmus granted to Messrs. Cragin and
Eyre, representing a respectable syn-
dicate of American capitalists.
“The promise made to Messrs. Cra-
gin & Eyre is based on the security
of the reputation and standing of the
parties we are dealing with and 9n a
deposit of $100,000 in gold. Messrs.
Cragin & Eyre offer something more
positive in a line of interoceanic tran-
sportation from the Atlantic to the Pa-
cific that shall be completed three
years after he new company is or-
ganized.”

Washington, D. 0., Nov. iii—Senator
James McMillan of Michigan, who has
been persistently “mentioned” as am—
bassador to England to succeed Colo-
nel Hay, called on the president yes-
terday morning.
The question of the ambassadorship
was not brought up ‘in the course of
the call, and Senator McMillan says
he has no knowledge whatever of the
president’s intentions.
Regarding the probability of his own
appointment the senator says he has
never been consulted on the subject
by any officer of the administration.
Secretary Alger, who, it was report-
ed, would be appointed senator by
Governor Pingree if McMillan should
go to England, says that there is no
such plan on foot and that he will not
leave the cabinet until the end of his
term.
