THE DAWN OF PEACE
How the Situation Appears from
the Spanish Standpoint.
ANXIOUS TO END LABORS
Points chmining to Be Settled. Secreta-
ries of the Commissions Formulating
the Articles of the Treaty. Topics for
Discussion at To-days Joint Session.
Paris Nov. 30.—The American de—
mand, accepted by Spainat Monday’s
session of the peace commission, im-
plied undoubtedly an ultimatum.
The Spanish reply uses the word
harsh (dura) and says that they yield
not in principle, but in fact to save
Spain from the greatest trouble.
The Gaulois, after an inspired state—
ment of the Spanish side, admits that
the solution as made Is practically the
best for Spain. Europe, and the former
Spanish colonies.
It says that the decision does not
involve an immediate signing of the
entire treaty, but an agreement on the
single clause respecting the Philip-
pines, and that other points 'to safe—
guard the existing commerce of Spain,
as promised by the Americans, and
some financial questions remain to be
settled.
A competent authority considers that
ten more days will be reasonably suf-
ficient to conclude the treaty.
The Americans have not mentioned
the purchase of the entire group of
the Carolines.
30.—The secretaries of
the two peace commissions, Messrs.
Moore and Ojeda, began their joint
task of formulating the articles of the
peace treaty late yesterday afternoon,
as directed by their respective commis—
sions.
This work'will be easy and rapid as
far as the relinquishment and cessions
referred to in the protocol are concern-
ed. The terms of the protocol will be
transferred bodily to the treaty.
The secretaries, moreover, will em-
body in tentative articles, for discus-
sion to-day, the subjects of the relig-
ious freedom of the Caroline islands, a
naval station for the United States in
the same group, cable landing rights
at other points within Spain’s jurisdic-
tion, the release of the insurrectionist
prisoners and the revival of the treat-
ies broken by the war.
On all the points outside of the pro-
tocol and its now settled interpretation
there will be friendly negotiation Spain
having the right to name the prices
she wants for her territory and to re-
ject or accept the American offers. The
Spaniards, no less than the Americans,
are now anxious to conclude 'the busi-
ness which brought them here.
The commercial and general treaty
of 1785 will be revived, to be recast
later; the treaty of 1834, for the settle—
ment of certain claims, will be revived.
the Cushing protocol of 1877, providing
for extradition, will, be revived; the
trade mark treaty of 1882 and the sup-
plemental extradition treaty of 1882 will
also be revived, inaddition to several
modus-vivendi agreements.
It is expected that the secrertaries
will submit the treaty articles at the
joint session 'to—day, when all the oth-
cr points for negotiation will be dis-
cussed.
The Soleil reviews the situation at
length, and says: “Probably the grea-
test difiiculty the United States has be-
fore her will be the strong differences
of opinion in the Senate and House
on the question of territorial expan-

Threatened Impeachment of Gov. liusselT.
Raleigh, N. 0., Nov. 30.—VVhethcr
Governor Russell will be impeached by
the overwhelming Democratic major-
ity in the incoming legislature may
depend. Democratic politicians say,
on how the governor acts in the mean-
time.
He is asked by the Republican poli-
ticians to refuse to furnish certificates
of election to Bellamy, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the. Sixth
(Wilmington) district, and to other
Democratic representatives—elect, in
order thereby to strengthen the con-
tests which the Republican candidates
contemplate making.
Other reasons than fear of impeach-
ment may influence the governor in
this matter.
The Repub‘ican nominee in the Sixth
district is (liver H. Dockery, whom
Russell defeated in the contest for
governor in ‘he RepubliCan convention
two years ago, and who is the gover‘
nor’s most b1tter political enemy.
The Democrats, therefore, anticipate'
that Russell will do nothing to aid
Dockery.
lVIrs. Cody's Trial.
Albany. N. Y., Nov. 30.—Mrs. Marga-
ret Cody's'trial on the indictment for
blackmail was begun in the Albany
county court before Judge Gregory yes-
terday.
Mrs. Cody has been in the county
jail since May, having been indicted
on the charge of blackmail. _
It is alleged in the indictment that
she wrote letters to Miss Helen Gould
and George Gould On February 11 and
March 9, 1890, respectively, asking
them to call on her and promising that
She would give valuable information
to enable them to effect a compromise
or discontinuance or the action then
pending against the heirs of the late
Jay Gould, to establish the dower
rights of Mrs. Angell to that estate on
the grounds that she was the first Wife
of Jay Gould.
Miss Helen Gould, with her aunt,
Mrs. Elizabeth Palm, was present at
the trial yesterday.
The entire morning session was de-
voted to the selection of the jury to
try the case.
Tidal Wave at. Trieste.
London, Nov. 30. —The Vienna come-
spondent of the Daily Mail sends the
following:
“On Sunday Trieste and vicinity were
flooded by a. tremendous tidal wave,
which did considerable damage to pro-
perty and ships and caused the loss of
many lives.
“There was a violent earthquake
throughout: the southern provinces of
Austria. From various causes no
fewer than twenty-eight lives, it is re-
ported, were lost."

POST OFFICE ECONOMICS.
A Determined Movement. for Consolida-
tion.
W’ashington, D. C. Nov. 30. —_Post
master General Smith has buckled on
his armor for a fight for the repeal of
the Gorman amendment to the post-
office appropriation bill for 1897, pro-
hibiting the consolidation 'of smallei
postofiices with the large ones about
which they ale grouped, if the con-
solidation would affect the independ-
ence of a county seat.
The present administration set out
with a determination to consolidate, if
possible, the suburban'ofl‘ices surroun—
ding every large city with the main
office in that city.
In Greater New York, for instance,
a saving of nearly $63,000 a year has
been figured out as the result of com-
bining all the offices under one head:
and this would be the saving in sale.-
ries and commissions alone, and leaves
out of account a score of minor econo-
mies which would go to swell the
sum.
The present law makes it impossible
to do anything, because the countyr
seats of Kings and Richmond counties
would be affected.
Boston presents a case of another
laige city, several of whose most im-
portant suburbs are beyond he1 county
line.
And all the proposed. changes are
held up because Senator Gorman wish—
ed to spite Postmaster Warfield of Bal—
timore, who belonged to another fac-
tion of the Democratic party from him-
self, and was a prominent member of
the Maryland Civil Service Reform As-
sociation.
Gorman was backed by every old-
fashioned man in the Senate who ob:
jected to changing the village postof—
flee from a club and meeting place for
the neighboring farmers into a. more
business machine, as well as by most
of the enemies of the merit system of
appointment to government office.
A large part of the money now spent
in an attempt to build up a. system of
rural free delivery could be turned to
better account, in 'the estimation of
some of the experts of the department
here, by improving free delivery where
it is already established and where a
more pressing need for it seems to ex—
ist.
The extension of the system would,
they think, work itself out normally by
a process of consolidation applied in
the districts surrounding the great cit-
ies, these districts being widened from
time to time to take in more outlying
postoffices. The successive widenings
of the districts would, in the ordinary
course of events, and as the popula-
tion of the country increased, bring the
boundaries of the several districts near
to or against each other, so that event-
ually free delivery would exist every-
where at a much lower cost and with
much less friction than if established
sporadicaliy here and there under the
present harp-hazard practice.
Another thing which the postmaster
general will use his utmost efforts to
promote will be the increase rather
than the decrease of free delivery fa-
cilities in the more densely populated
parts of the great cities. '
He is looking forward with much
hope to the effect of the tour of the
commission appointed just before the
clone of the last session of Congress to
investigate the workings of the postal
system.
Personal examination is so much
more convincingihan any argument,
that he believes the members of the
commission must have satisfied them—
selves, when inspecting the business
districts of three or four of the great
cities, that it would be quite out of the
question to cut down the present num-
bv: of deliveries and cellections.
The estimates sent in on the first
day of the coming Session will contain
an item for a considerable increase in
the appropriation for the free delivery
service, at which there is fair reason
for hoping that neither house will
balk.
Choate at the White House.
Washington, D. (1., Nov. 30.—Mr. Jo—
seph H. Clioate of New York called
upon the president yesterday. and his
visit naturally gave rise to much spec-
ulation as to the vacant ambassador-
ship.
He was accompanied by Attorney
General Griggs and remained with the
president about fifteen minutes.
White House officials represent this
as merely an act of courtesy, since Mr.
Choate was in Washington conducting
a case at the supreme court. They say
that had he not called upon the presi—
dent it would have been more worthy
of remark.
The opinion prevails, however, that
Mr. Choate stands a. good chance of
being sent to England.
Union Pacific. Land Case.
St. Paul, Minn, Nov. 30.—The Union
Trust Company of New York has made
application in the United States court
for a decree of mortgage foreclosure
in its land case against the Union
Pacific Railroad Company and the re-
ceivers.
The case involves $1,500,000 and title
to the lands granted to the Union Pa—
cific in Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and
other western states.
The interest for two years is now
due and unpaid.
The “'arlng Memoral Fund.
New York, Nov. 30.—The memorial
fund that is being raised for the sup-
port of the widow and daughter of
the late Colonel George E. Waring, Jr.,
has reached $52,328.
The largest contribution in the latest
list announced by ex-Mayor Strong,
the treasurer of the fund, is from
John D. Rockefeller, who gave five
thousand dollars. .
Big Natural Gas Strike.
Santa Barbara, Cal., Nov. 30.—While
boring for oil on Summerland Beach
a. marvelous flow of natural gas has
been struck. throwing sand and rocks
a number of feet into the air.
It is pronounced the biggest strike
of natural gas that has ever been made
in the West.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 30,—The war

First Tennessee, arrived this morning.

AN OPEN DOOR FOR CUBA.
New Tariff Rate to be Issued Soon.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 30,—The Ct:
ban tariff will be issued in a. day or
two. It will be based upon the old
Spanish tariffs, and modified with some
reference to our own Dingley law.’
This tariff will apply equally against
ourselves and the rest of the world
It is an open door.
If the Teller resolution is maintained
this tariff is likely to be of more im-
portance than any other of our colo-
nial tariffs. It will apply to the island
presumably until complete civil gov-
ernment is again established, and when
that time comes, unless we annex the
island, somebody eISe will make the
tariff. If we keep faith this will be our
last Cuban tariff.
Most of the revenues of the island
have been derived from customs clu«
ties on food products. Under the Spa-
nish regime $35,000,000 out of a total
of $61,000,000 came from food.
Our duties will be considerably lowei
than the old Spanish maximum rates.
and in general will resemble our own
Dingley tariff duties on foods, about 2':
per cent.
There is an element of illusion, how-
ever, in comparing such a schedule
with our own, since we import almost
no grains 0r meats, and so the home
prices are in no way influenced by our
tariff.
The Governnleut of Crete.
Constantinople, Nov. 30.—The czar 01
Russia, replying to the sultan’s tele-
gram of November 26, urging the czar
to abandon his intention of sending
Prince George of Greece to Crete as
high commissioner of the powers, de-
clares that the friendly sentiments 01
Russia towards Turkey are unchang-
ed, and while Prince George is going
to Crete as commissioner of four pow
ers, the sultan’s rights of sovereignty
will be safeguarded.
