A COl.1PLETED TREATY 80 Oil
\Vllao Is Learned About the Contest for
Advantages Now Going on at the Join:
Session. Spain “’ants Equal Shipping;
nights with the United States in Crib-.1
and Porto Rico.
Paris, Dec. 7.——The Spanish and A111"
erican peace commissions met in joint
session at two o’clock yesterday after.
noon. It has just been learned that
Monday’s session was of far greater
importance than has been generally
supposed.
It resulted in the Americans uncom-
promisingly rejecting Spain’s request
that, for a term of years, the ships of
that country and its products be ad—
mitted to Cuban and Porto Rican ports
under the same regulations and cus~
toms tariff as American ships and pro-
ducts.
The two commissions for several
days have been finessing. The Ameri-
cans were anxious for a decision on
the question of a coaling station in
the Caroline, islands, religious toler—
ance in the Carolines, and the release
of political prisoners.
The Spaniards were unwilling to an—
swer these points until they heard
what the Americans proposed to do for
their industries which had been built
up by the Cuban and Porto Rican
trade. .
This is why Spain was contented
that the articles of the treaty be dis-
posed of in their order, while the Am-
ericans wanted first to settle their
pressing needs.
This session was practically a fight
on the order cf procedure. Finally the
Americans yielded and then the Span-
iards proposed their shipping and com—
mercial question, which the Americans
rejected in its entirety.
The session then adjourned with
neither side. in an amicable frame of
mind.
An American attache of the commis-
sion said last evening that he believed
the work would be completed by Fri-l
day.
Madrid, 'Dec. 7.—The Corresponden-
cia, semi-official, says that the Ameri-
can commissioners insist upon the dis-
cussion of matters which are not con-
nected with the treaty of peace, name-
ly, extradition, commercial and liter-
ary conventions, etc.
The Spanish government, it says, is
unable to yield, and is determined that
such matters be discussed between the
cabinets of Madrid and Washington.
In conclusion, the Correspondencia has
the following to say:
"The Americans are seeking to profit
by their victory in order to improve
their own condition on all subjects.”
Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.—The cabi-
net at its meeting yesterdayldiscussed
in a general way‘matters in connection
with the. movement of troops to Cuba,
but nothing new was ”deVeloped at the
meeting.
The piesldent’ 5 message to COngress
was also talked ov,er as well as the
prospective early signing of the Paris
treaty.
It was the opinion of the members
that the commission probably will be
able to leave Paris with the signed
treaty within the next few days.

- M’KINLEY’S IMMENSE POWER.
Belief that Congress Will Concede Every-
thing Hc \Vauts.
‘Vashington, D. 0., Dec. 7.——Ex-Co,r.—

‘inent financiers, who attended the op-
ening session of Congress, have 1613*.

McKinley has the power to put through

'l‘11e opponents of the president’s policy
are disheartened and without hope.
They cannot make any combinations;
that are worthy of the name and do
not know which way to turn in their
dilemma.
A prominent Democratic senator
made this remark on the floor of the
senate yesterda3.
“I hope Piesident McKinley VVill be
renominated and elected. 1 can get
more out of him than I ever'could out
of a Democratic, president.”

knows them all personally and they all
personally like him.
He also knows the men who can be
of no service whatever to him. Upon
these he never wastes any patronage,
so that what 'he gives is given with
discretion and great political judg-
ment.
The politicians respect him and do
not hesitate to say that he is the clev-
erest politician that has ever'been in
the White House and that by the time
he gets through handing out the im—
mense patronage that will shortly be
at his disposal, he will have Congress
in a position to concede anything that
he desires.
NEW ARMv BILL.
It Increases the Regulars to the Numbe
of 100,000.
‘Washington, D. 0., Dec. 7.—The bill.
for the increase of the army is com-
pleted and will be reported to the
House to—day by Chairman Hull. It
is not a bill for the reorganization of
the army.
Mr. Hull says: “The bill provides
for the increase of the army as re-
quired by the war. What I want is to
get our volunteers discharged by so
increasing the numberof regulars, as
to do away with the necessity of keep-
ing the former in the service. The
measure provides for the increase of
the regular army to one hundred thou—
sand men. It has been estimated that
the companies will be increased to
about 144 men. It does not provide for
additional second lieutenants, as I pro-
posed, nor for a, general increase of
officers,‘ except as new organizations
are formed, 'or, in other words, only
where under the increase new regi-
ments are necessary. The bill, how-
eVer, increases the number of’non-
Commissioned officers. .
It does not 'go as far' as General
Miles recommends inythe higher ranks,
for it only provides for :the revival
of one lieutenant general. .
General Miles recommended one gem
eral and two lieutenant generals. The
new bill prov ides for an increase in the
departmental staffs, sUch as those of
the adjutant general,
general, commissary general,
and other departments. ‘

Kerp Old Glory Pure.
Chicago, Dec. 7.—-At a meeting of the
American Flag Day Association at the
Great Northern Hotel, a bill, to be pre-
sented to Congress, was adopted by the.
meeting. I
It makes it unlawful to use the flag
for advertising or trade purposes or
in any way that will tend to its dese-
oration.
The penalty for the first offense is
fixed at a fine of not less than. fifty
dollars nor more than five hundred

imprisonment of one year and a fine:-
of not less than one thousand dol~
lars.
The association is to be supported in
its undertaking by the Sons of the
American Revolution, the Grand Army
of the Republic and the Society of Co-
lonial W'ars of Illinois.

Albany, N. Y.. Dec. 7.—Governor

balming examiners of the state of
'New York, as authorized by chapter
555 of the laws of 1838. The appointees

nelius E. Burns of Troy, H. T. Selfridge.

Food Adultorations.
Trenton, N. J., Dec. 7.—State Dairy
Commissioner‘McGuire‘s annual report
for the fiscal year ending the first of
November, which is now ready for the
printer, will contain a full review or
the. commissioner’s work in the analy—
sis of food and drugs under the vari-
ous acts prohibiting a'dulterations..
The report will show that 752 sam-
ples were analyzed, and that of these
208 were adulterated.
The commissioner says that he has
had a. good deal of trouble to prevent
the sale of oleomargarine for butter,
because of the small amount of mom-
ey at his disposal to make the neces-
sary inspection.

Baltimore, Dec. 7.—At a. meeting of
the Baltimore Board of Trade yester-
day a resolution was adopted asking
the Maryland delegation in Congress
