SENATOR GRAY HAS ACCEPTED "Will Be a Member of McKinley's Peace Commission. THE BODY NOW COMPLETE Senator Gray Reconsiders the Ques tion nnd Accepts Democrats Giv en Representation Mr. Gray May Resign from the Anglo-American Commission His Views on For eign Questions Regarded Anti-Expansionist. as an Wilmington, Del.. Sept. 9. Senator Grny after previously notifying Pres ident McKlnley that he must decline the appointment as one of the com missioners to arrange the terms of peace between this country anil Spain decided today to accept the honor. His declination, which was made on Wednesday, was followed by a visit from Assistant Secretary of State John Ilussett Moore, himself a native of Delaware, who will accompany the commission to Paris as secretary and counsel. Mr. Moore came to this city yesterday at the request of the presi dent to ask Senator Gray to reconsider his declination. Mr. Moore set forth that the ques tions that will come before the com mission will be of the utmost Impor tance to this country and took the pos ition that, under the circumstances, it was a matter of public duty for the senator to lay aside all private inter ests and accept the appointment. Although against his personal In clinations Senator Gray finally agreed to become one of the commissioners. He Is appreciative of the honor shown him through the president's tender of the appointment after he had declined. The United States peace commission Is now complete. It is comprised as follows: Judge Day, Senators Davis, Frye and Gray and Whltelaw Reld. In selecting Senator Gray, the pres ident has given Democrats represen tation on the commission. The ap pointment probably will necessitate the retirement of Mr. Gray from the Anglo-American commission, which Is conducting its sessions In Canada, as that commission will resume its work about the time the peace commission ers, sail for Paris. On foreign questions Mr. Gray has been regarded generally as opposed to expansion, his votes in the senate hav ing been against the annexation of Hawaii. Senator Gray is one of the best known men in public life, having been a prominent figure In the senate for the last twelve years. He was born at Newcastle, Del., in 1840, and was graduated from Princeton. He served at attorney general of Delaware, and later was appointed to the senate when Thomas F. Bayard entered the first Cleveland cabinet ns secretary of btate. Mr. Gray has been In the sen ntc continuously since then, serving with distinction being one of the rec ognized forces In debate and In the shaping of Important legislation. He is a member of the senate committee on foreign relations, thus making three members of that committee Senators Davis, Frye and Gray on the peace corrmlsslon. PRESIDENT REVIEWS TROOPS.

The question of Investigating the ndmlnlstrntlon of the war department and the appointments of commissioners to conduct the Inves tigation wus gone over.

President Cravens ,of the Miners un ion' said: "The miners will never ac cept the Penwell offer as the result would be the dissolution of the union Just for what the operators have nil the time been working for and would provoke trouble between the miners nnd operators not only of Illinois, but Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He added: "This Is a question of life and death to the miners' union or ganization and we will light It out on this line if it takes all winter."
