Another Session of Peaeo
Commissioners is Held.
SPANIARDS' ARGUMENTS.
For Two Hours and a Half Dons
Talked About Cuba's Debt.
AMERICANS DIDN'T BUDGE.
Wuxblngtmi Official* Have Come to the
Conclusion that It Will be Impossible for
All of the Spantnh Soldiers to Evacuate
Cuba by December l*t.
Paris, Oct. 22.—The joint session of
the peace commissions yesterday last
ed from 2p. m.to 4:30 p. m. During
this time the commissioners discussed
the second series of written arguments
put forward by the Spaniards for the
purpose of prevailing* upon the Anieii
can commissioners to assume the
Cuban debt. No definite conclusion
■was reached and the commissioners
adjourned until Monday, when the
Cuban question will again be discuss
ed. Tt is pro Viable that this feature of
the negotiations will be disposed of
next. ■week.
Thus far there have been seven joint
sessions, four of which have been de
voted to the discussion of the first ar
ticle of the protocol. In this manner
two weeks have passed and no result
Ims been reached. The American com
missioners have listened to all the ar
guments of the Spaniards, but they
have not changed the position which
they first assumed, in refusing to take
over the Cuban debt.
Washington. Oct. 22.—1t is now
certain that the complete evacuation
of Cuba will lie delayed beyond the
period originally fixed by the adminis
tration. Tliis will follow without
reference *o anything that has oc
curred in Paris before the peace com
mission. The war department lias sat
isfied itself that the task imposed
upon the Spanish authorities, namely,
the removal and transportation to a
great distance bv sea of about 120.000
soldiers, sick and well, with their ac
coutrements. was beyond the ability
of the Spaniards. The magnitude of
the task is shown by the fact that the
great trans-Atlantic steam lines cross
ing the Atlantic from New York, all
combined, in prosperous seasons,
transport only about 50.000 persons in
one year —less than half the number
that the Spanish officials, with their
poor facilities, were expected to trans
port in about ten weeks.
Del a v in the evacuation of Cuba will
cause a delay in the relinquishment of
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island, which was set for Decem
ber 1. It is hardly deemed prudent to
undertake to assume charge of the
municipal affairs of Havana so lonjy
as tfie city comtains a strong garrison
of Spanish troops, and it is felt that
law and order could be better main
tained in such centers by allowing
them to remain under Spanish Juris
diction until they are evacuated by the
troops and reoccupied by United States
troops. It is not to be. understood
from this that the American military
commission is in any sense abating* the
pressure it has brought to bear upon
the Spanish military commissioners t<\
secure the evacuation of the island
and the relinquishment of Spanish
sovereignty. On the contrary they
have redoubled their efforts to secure
these objects, but are not disposed to
in-ist upon the performance of im
possible tasks.

Paris, Oct. 20.—The Spanish peace
commission was unable to meet the
United States peace commission at the
joint session arranged for Wednesday
and the next meeting of the two com
missions has been fixed for Friday.
Judge Day received a communica
tion in the morning from Senor Kios,
president of the Spanish commission,
saying' that advices expected but not
received from Madrid made it neces
sary for himself and his colleagues to
request a postponement of any further
conferences until Friday. A courteous
reply was returned by Secretary
Moore, on behalf of the American com
missioners. granting an extension of
the time of the next meeting as re
quested. While the deferring of any
one conference for two days is not
in itself an important request, the de
lay by the Spaniards at this juncture
is something more than significant.
The game of diplomacy now progress
ing here has reached a stage which
makes it necessary that the next move
be made by the Spanish commission
ers. They are confronted by the plain
fact of their protocol agreement to
relinquish and evacuate Cuba without
"ifs," "ands" or "buts."
The assigned reason for the request
for delay is believed to have been to
allow an interchange of communica
tions with Madrid and to formulate a
final attitude on the Cuban matter.
The tone during the last four days
of the Spanish and French press is sig
nificant of widened confidences by the
Spaniards as to t lie attitude they have
assumed in the negotiations here, and
the recurring assurances of Spain's
desire for arbitration may have had a
meaning. The Spaniards may not
have sought to promote sympathy, but
had they desired to lay down n basis
upon which to set up a plea to Europe
to prevent what it is sought, to present
as her ravishment, the surface indica
tions could not have been more favor
ably disposed for that purpose than
they have been.
WAR CLOUDS GATHER.
Sir Michael ISearli, Chancellor
of tlio Kichequer* Thrown Down tlie
tiauiitlet to Franca —The <iauln Prepare

London, Oct. 20.—Sir Michael 11.
I.each, chancellor of the exchequer,
speaking at North Shields last even
ing. said: "Our work in Egypt is not
completed. Africa is big enough tor
us both for France in the west and
ourselves in the east. 1 hope and be
lieve the question is capable of a
friendly solution, but this country has
put her foot down. It would be a
great calamity if, after peace for up
wards of »0 years, we should be
launched into a great war. but there
are greater evils than war, and we
shall not shrink from anything that is
coming, knowing that we are support
ed by a united people."
London, Oct. 20.—The speech of Sir
Michael 11. Beach at North Shields
has deeply impressed England and the
utmost concern is felt, as to how
France will receive it. Most of the
morning papers elaborate some of the
descriptions of the belligerent prepar
ations of France.
The Paris correspondent of the Mai!
says:"ln Toulon and Brest every
nerve is strained to get ready for war,
which may break out on short notice.
The Paris press is growing more and
more determined to back up extreme
measures, even a resort to arms. The
French have been excessively piqued
by the threatening tone of the Eng
lish papers, which is a more likely
casus belli than til:. 1 mere question
of Fashoda.. Consequently the out
look here is grave. There are reports
of troops hurrying from Paris to Brest
and Toulon. The artillery in the bat
teries and at the various ports has
been instructed for any emergency,
and tlie cannons at all the forts and
batteries are kept ready for action at
any moment."
A NAVAL BATTLE.
Spaniards Assert that Dewey's Squadron
Has Had a i'*ij{ht witli the Insurgents'
Fleet*
London, Oct. 20.—The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says: Min
ister of Marine A tin on has received a
dispatch from Manila announcing a
naval engagement between the Ameri
cans and rebels in consequence of Ad
miral Dewey forbidding the latter to
fly the rebel flag from their ships. The
dispatch adds that there were losses
on both sides, but that the Americans
captured the rebel ships. The scene
of the engagement is not stated.
The dispatch says Admiral Dewey
having forbidden the Tagalos to hoist
the Philippine flag upon their vessels,
a series of fights ensued, resulting in
loss on both sides.
Washington, Oct. 20.—As far as
could be ascertained no information
regarding reported naval engagement
has been received at tin- navy depart
ment. nor has (Sen. Otis, commanding
the United States troops at Manila,
made any reference to it in any com
munications to the war department.
The dispatch created considerable in
terest in Washington. Recently the
newspapers said that Admiral Dewey
had sent one or two of his ships to
another portion of the Philippine
group on n mission of some import
ance, and the suggestion is made that
it may have been these vessels which
have been engaged in combat with the
insurgents.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22.—The wrnr in
vestigation committee arrived Friday
and went to Fort Mel'herson. The only
work fro be <lone here is in connection
with the hospital at the fort. The
commissioners examined only Mvo wit
nesses here. They were Ma «>r lllair
Is. Taylor, surgeon in charge of the
general military hospital here, and
Rev. Orvillo J. Xave, chaplain of that
institution.
Dr. Taylor said he had in the begin
ning of the camp's history had con
siderable difficulty rn getting requisi
tions filled, although he had hail no
difficulty in getting them approved >.v
the authorities at Washington. One
requisition made on May 10 and
another on June 24 had not been en
tirely filled until very recently.
ljev. Xave said he had visited every
patient who had been in the hospital
and that he had never heard a single
complaint from n man who was
possessed of his reason, while on the
contrary he had heard many expres
sions of gratitude and commendation
for the excellent conduct of the hos
pital.
Mr. Xave expressed the opinion that
in the conduct of military hospitals
there was too little care of the clothes
and other property of patients.
"In a word the thieving which has
been going on and the petty pecula
tions which have been practiced upon
soldiers" said he. "oftentimes by their
comrades, has been one of the saddest
features of the war."

The Temps publishes a dispatch
from Nantes saying that the Fourth
battalion of the infantry regiments,
comprising the Twenty-first division,
with headquarters at Nantes, has com
pleted its war equipment. Each man
has received 120 rounds of ammunition
and his camp outfit and the officers
of the four regiments of that division

ON THE ROCK OF AGES.
Steamer Chinholm Wrecked Near I«le
Hojnlfl-ThA Crew Saved.
Port Arthur, Ont., Oct. 22. —The
steamer Dixon has arrived here with
six of the crew of the steamer Henry
Chisholm, who were picked np in a
yawlboat by the Dixon off Isle Uoyale.
The Chisholm left Dulnth Sunday
evening with the schooner John Mar
tin in tow. Monday afternoon, when
off Keewenaw point, the Martin cut
•the t.ow line and was soon lost to view,
as the weather was thick and the wind
blowing a gale. The Chisholm cruised
about, until Thursday morning trying
to find the missing schooner, but with
out success.
Thursday morning, while trying to
enter Washington harbor, at the
southwest end of Isle Uoyale, the
steamer struck the Rock of Ages. The
crew of If> men abandoned their boat
and reached fsle Koyale in safety.
The Chisholm is owned by M. A. Brad

Washington, Oct. 22. —A telegram
was received Friday by the secretary
of the navy from Admiral Dewey at
Manila, saying that the collier Nero
arrived at Taku on the 10th with her
coal on fire and suggesting that she
be sent home. Admiral Dewey said
nothing with regard to the capture of
any more ships belonging either to the
Spaniards or to the insurgents, or at

New Vork, Oct. 22.—1t. G. Bun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
With growing foreign <lemand for
American products, exchange is in
fluenced mainly by |R>litical uncer
tainties abroad. While Kurope waits
for the outcome between England and
France about tin' I'pper .Nile, the
financiers of European countries are
trying to force upon each other the
burden of providing cash for the enor
mous demands of the 1 nited States.
ICnglanil has so managed as to make
France and Germany send most of the
gold, and the resulting war of ex
changes between foreign nations
checks for the moment the movement
of gold this way. et these and all
other causes do yot so far hinder busi
ness as to prevent an excess over the
most prosperous of previous years. I he
exchanges through all clearing houses
for the past week have been 0 percent,
larger than last year and 1.7 per cent,
larger than in 1H92. but outside Xew
York for the week transactions were
smaller than in 1892.
The outgo of wheat staggers all
prophets of disaster, but while the
price has advanced three cents at the
west, the rise would have been much
greater but for the feeling that the
enormous foreign demand may not
last.
While cotton spiners have agreed
upon a selling' agency and a curtail
ment of prod net ion, there is a better
demand for staple goods, and prospect
of a better demand in future. In wool
en goods also, there has been a mark
ed improvement during the past week,
and better sales, with extensive in
quiry.
There is much hesitation in the Iron
and steel trade, partly because the out
come of various combinations in T?es
semer pig. steel rails, bars, wire na.ils
and the like cannot yet be definitely
anticipated. Vet prices of domestic
prod nets have not declined, and al
though the tone is somewhat weaker
for liars and plates, quotations are in
part sustained by considerable orders
for export.

MOVABLE SWILL BARREL.
It Helps to Keep Kverythlnit About i
tlie Fttriiiliiiunr inn t'lrun und
Tidy Condition.
In order for the farmer and his fami
ly to remain healthy and contented,
it is imperative that everything about
the farmhouse be kept clean and tidy.
Indeed, the least items tending to slov- ,
< nliness should never be tolerated any
longer than is absolutely necessary,
for such are highly susceptible to aug.
mentation, in which case they are very
liable to breed disease and ruin. This
applies especially to the swill barrel,
of which a stationary one, in back
yard or front, is about the biggest and
in summer the most dangerous (pes
tiferously speaking) nuisance to ba
met with anywhere on the farm.
Hence it is that we advocate the usa
of a movable swill barrel, as shown
herewith in the cut; for then, when the
warm clays of summer have arrived,
——
MOVABLE SWILL BARBEL.
the skim milk from the dairy-room
can be emptied in, and the barrel and
all wheeled away to the orchard or
yard where the pigs are, thus removing
from the kitchen door one of the great
est attractions mentionable for vari
ous insects, as wasps, flies and the like.
The same is also very serviceable at
other periods of the year for convey
ing slops and milk, as well ns the
wastes of the pantry and kitchen, from
the house to that place where tha
twine are kept. This has been demon
strated by actual experience, we hav
ing in mind one barrel alone that has
been in constant use for several years,
and still is not much the worse for
wear.
The illustration requires but little
explanation. As can be seen, all that
Is needed is an old wheelbarrow wheel,
two sticks for handles, a fish barrel,
some wire nails of proper lenths and
several wooden strips of different size
for braces. The cost is therefore al
most nothing at all, but so handy and
convenient is it that it aids much
toward making farm life a grace and
ioy forever.
In case one has a lot of calves, and
they are out to pasture, so that tli«
feeding of milk to them occurs in a
trough, this movable wheelbarrow
barrel is just the thing for "wholesal
ing" their rations to them. Try it and
see. —Frederick O. Sibley, in N. V. Trib

CROPS AS MANURE.
Thin Synteni of Fertilising Hoe* Not
llrinif in UuU-k Itetuma, Hut It
Im Profitable.
Such crops as turnips, rye, buck
wheat and crimson clover assist in re
ducing the plant food in the soil and
making it possible for crops the suc
ceeding year to utilize the plant fotxJ
plowed under in the manure crop. All
soils contain unavailable matter that
the farmer needs. There are crops that
do not have the power to break dowr
the chemical compounds existing in the
soils, but there are other crops which
have a partiality for some substances
which are beyond the ability of plants
of a different kind. One crop inny
be preparatory for another, henc*
the plowing under of a crop is not a
loss, but a gain. In England the tur
nips are regarded as a renovator of tlu
soil, andt the seed is broadcasted ovei
the surface., sheep being allowed ac
cess to the turnips after they have ma
tured. The turnips can feed on al
most anything in the soil, and wher.
eaten by sheep the gain of mutton and
manure gives the farmer a profit, but
the English farmer attaches as much
value to the increased fertility of his
soil as he does to the product which
he markets therefrom. It may be
urged, as some have done, that green
crops can add no mineral matter to the
soil other than it takes therefrom,
which is true; but such crops rendei
the mineral matter available for the
next season. —Farmers' Journal.
Sutnr Meet K*perli>»»nt*.
Experiments with sugar beets this
year have given very encouraging re
sults. In the west the general rule
is to pay four dollars per ton for beets
containing 12 per cent, of sugar. In
New York state the yields have been
from 14 to IS tons per acre in some
localities, one plot producing 20 tons
per acre. The percentage of sugar has
also been high, some samples giving
17 and 18 per cent., the average being
14 per cent. It is possible to grow over
four tons of sugar per acre with the
aid of beets. This industry is apparent
ly slow to take hold on a large scale,
but it is believed that in the course
of time it will be a regular feature of
agriculture. —Dakota Field and Farm.
Irrigation Before l'luntln».
Irrigation of the soil before planting
ia very important and profitable, and
very simple. To have this it is only
necessary to plow the land into ridges
by throwing the furrows toward each
other and run the water between the
[ ridges. After the water has had sufll
cient time to drain off properly the
land is to be plowed, harrowed and
planted. This enables the crop to get
u good start, and it will stand well.
There is no better irrigation. —Dakota
JTleid and Farm.
