VVS? i - ATT VUS ,w 'O CENTS. SOU ANTON, PA.. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1898. TWO CENTS. 4 TBS SPANISH COMIMSSION WANTS TIME tot Meeting Has Been Postponed Until Friday. AMERICANS ARE FIRM They Arcs Not to Be Hoodwinked by Spanish Trickery Spain Will Be Required to Live Up to the Terras of the Protocol Her Commission ers Nearly Everywhere Are Met by a Wnll of Agreement Ameri can Commissioners Aie Acquiring Much Information Dally. Paris, Oct. 19. The Spanish peace commission was unable to meet the United States pence commission at the joint session arranged for today and another meeting of the two commis sions has been fixed for Friday next. Judge Day, president of tht Ameri can commission, received a communi cation this morning from Sonor Mon tero Kios, president of the Spanish commission, saying that advices ex pected, but not received from Madrid made it necessaiy for hlmsell and his colleagues to request a postponement of any further conferences until Fri day next. A courteous reply 'was le turned b Secretin y Moore in behalf of the Ameilcan commissioners Brain ing an extension of time of the next meeting as ieuested. "While the defeirlng of any one 011 fereneo for two days Is not In Pself an Important request, the delay by the Spaniards at this Junctuie Is something more than significant. The :Mme of diplomacy now progressing heie has reached a stage -which makes it neces saiy that the next move be made by the Spanish commissioners. They are confronted by the plain fact of tie Ir protocol agreement to relinquish and evacuate Cuba -without "lfs," "amis" or "l,uU" It has become clear heie that the Spaniards cherished lh hope that they could unconditionally cov enant to follow a given path and ul timately -wander elsewhere and do , or more than named In the protocol compact. The American commission ers, however, hnvc firmly adh-red to the boundary lines already mutually established and within which thev In side (he Spaniards as -well as them selves shall duly pioc-cd. It Is not ton much to pay that Spam now has mcne light than ever before on the in tegrity and steadfastness in 'vonl and purpose of the United Slates, r.'or is It wide, of the f.ut to say that the Spaniards arc iow initially nppiecint Ing that the United States did not make war on Spain to acquire Cuba ns a conquest pile. of this the Span iards may not yet ba wholly com inccd, bat the firm refusal of Judg- Day and his collearues to assume th1 Cuban debt, because the United States will rot take over the sovereignty bus vidmed Span'sh perceptions aid has unquestionably hastened their convic tions. AVberefore It may In a sense be tiue that having for the Irst time a feeling tl at the American pledges and the American perfoimanc h are i o eqnal terms, the SuanluiJ now aie practically on the thieshold of ,uopf ily lighted negotiations. WALL, OP AGRHDMUNT. "When Spain approached tlrtse nego tiations she was confionted by a wall of fast agreement which she, houeer, legarded as possible to break or punc ture at the point of Castllllan dlplo macy Thus she poised and has launched against the piotocol stiuctuio of seeming solidity the keen lances of her finesse. They have fallen broken at her feet. The wall of American pui pose and mutual compact has pioved not only uppaient but leal, and now Spain's commissioners give pause to their attack on the Cuban angle and ask time to assure themselcs of their previous mlsjudgment and also to re form their lines or anange now ones The nsslgned icason for today's re quest for delay Is helhned to have been to allow nn Inteiehanse of communi cations with Madrid and to formulate a final attitude on the Cuban matter. This attitude of the Spaniards, to be developed on Filelay. will be watched with no ittle Intel est. Their altei na tives are few but pregnant. They nc cede to the American attitude, them selves assume the Cuban debt, nnd go forward to consider the next protocol point, of Poito Rico and the choice by the United States of an Island In the Ladrones group; or, they may nt this juncture formally ask for arbitration, or as an extremity w hlch Is not likely, may retire from fuither negotiation The toe, dining the Inst four dnjs, of tho Spanish and Flench press, Is significant of widened confidence' by the Spanish as to the uttltude they have assumed In the negotiations here and the recurring assurances of Spain's desire for atbltratlon may havo had a meaning. The Spaniards may not have sought to promoUisympathy, but had they deBlied to iffy down a basis upon which to set up a plea to Hurope to prevent what It Is sought to present as her ravishment, the suiface indications could not hae been more favorably disposed for that purpose than they have been. nninp session'. The American commissioner, after despatching theli acquiescence In de lay, held a brief meeting, probably to make formal record of tho defenlng of the Joint session fixed for today Tho Americans yesterday held a brief session having no refeience to tho negotiations and the brevity of those meetings and other Indications war rant the conviction that the American attitude Is well formed and that the commission Is thoroughly advised on all the points und features which it Is possible to foresee In Hie subsequent conferences. The amount of Informa tion acquired by the Americans since their ai rival hero Is laige. They have examined old lesldents of the Philip pines and the Information and testi mony from this und other sources Is valuable-. A distinguished Roman Catholic churchman, fiom New Orleans, Is now In this city In connection, It Is said, with the Intel ests of the Homan Cath olic church In Cuba. The holders of Spanish securities have not been Inactive and It Is not unlikely that the American commis sion has been called upon to consider a written presentment of figures, facts and pleadings In behalf of those Inter ests. Were It not that the great spirit and attitude of the American commis sion nie so dignified It might bo said that they are now holding the fort and invite attacks. Their personality and procedure, however, here Is such as to make It fair to say that, while not courting uttack they fear none. FRIENDLY SPIRIT TOWARD FRANCE England Has No Wish to Inflict Hu miliation, But Political Rights at Fnshoda Cannot Be Maintained. London, Oct 1!). Sir Michael Hicks lieach, chancellor of the exchequer, speaking at N'oith Shields this eenlng, announced that the government had opened negotiations with the poweis with a view of securing to the sub jects of the various poweis the "right of developing the lespectivo spheres in which each country Is especially in terested. Regaullng the Fnshoda question he snld he wished coidlally to ueknowedge the desire evidenced in the speeches of Lord Rosebeny nnd Heibert As qulth to help the government In the matter, "a matter which might develop to the utmost gravity." "It Is Impossible," he continued, "for France to maintain that she has po litical lights nt Faslioda. She has naturally and piopeily asked for time to lecelve Major Maiohand's lepoit: but until the contiaty Is pioed, I (ecllne to believe that Fiance will re fuse to withdiaw. If she lefused, the matter would assume an aspect as giave as Is possible between two great nations. "Tly government Is animated by the friendliest spirit towaid Fiance and does not wish to Inflict humilia tion. What we doslie Is fair treat ment. Our woik In Hgypt Is not com pleted. Africa Is big enough for us both for Fiance In the west and our selves In the east. Surely we ought to bo able to agree to respect one an otheis rights and claims. "I hope, tiust and bellee that the question is capable of friendly solu tion, but this count! y has put her foot down. If unhappily, another view should bo taken b Fiance, the queen's minlsteis know what their duty de munds. "It would be a gieat calamity If, after peace of upwaids of SO je.us, our friendly lelations should be dis turbed and we should be launched in to a gieat war, but there aie gi eater ells than war, and we will not shirk from an thing that Is coming, knowing that we are supported by a united peo ple.

GROW SPEAKS ON DEMOCRACY A PARTY THAT CONTINUALLY DODGES THE ISSUES, An Elegant and Characteristic Ad dress Delivered at Franklin Brief Rovlow of the Mistakes of tho Party Exists Upon Distinguish ing Acts of Jefferson and Jackson. Franklin, Oct. 10. The address of Hon. Galusha A. Grow, oongressman-at-large, ci cited a profound Impres sion heie tonight. In tho couise of his lemarks Mr. Grow said The question of a circulating me dium, that Is, money, which affects all the business Inteiests of tho coun try at homo and abroad the question of taiirt protection which affects the development of home Industries and tho employment of home labor; the foreign policy of tho countiy with the nations, Including the final settlement of tho new und grave questions, resulting fiom tho wnr with Spain, not yet end ed, all these questions far-reaching In their Influence, tho Democratic party declares In Its state conventions aie of less consequence to the people than tho election of a governor and leglslatuie In their respective states. This Is the old ante-bellum, pro-slaery, state lights position of the Democratic pi y. The state paramount to the nation, "The leopaid cannot change Its spots." It Is not strange that the Demo cratic natty desires to Ignore all na tional Issues in appealing to the voter for suppoit at the ballot box Theie Is no uct of national administration performed by tho Democratic party In the last half century which is win thy of commendation, even in the estima tion of Demoeiats themselves. For they ncner lefer to nnv such act in the administration of Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan or Glover Cleveland. No law of any significance during that long pet led has been passed In con gress by the votes of the Democratic potty save one, known ns the Wilson tnilff. And that was repealed bv the emphatic mandate of the people at the first election after the passage of the law. During this peilod every amendment made to the constitution was opposed In Its passage by the almost unanimous vote of the Deinocintle Daily In con gress and state leglslatuies. Theie Is nothing In all tho past In the adminis tration of the government of the union to which the most enthuslnstc Demo crat ever refeis with any claim of pilde for his paitv unless it Is some thing In the adinlnlstiation of Jeffer son or Jackson The flist ended nine ty yeais ago, tho other over sixty. The Democratic paity of today Is a gieit party of hgs-beons. and it has out lived nil the gloilous traditions of its paity name. The most glorious act of Jefferson's administration wus the ac quisition of Louisiana, against the ciy then of danger, and thientened disas ter to the llbei ties of our countiy, the same as we hear now in opposition to any extension of tenltory. JACKSON'S DISTINGUISHING ACT. The gteat and distinguishing act of Jackson's administration, was the es tablishment and Inflexible advocacy of the gold standard in our money cite il lation. Thomas H. Henton, one of the 1 lllars ot Jackson's admlnlstiatlon, by icason of his zealous advocacy In the senate of the United States in 1834 and theieafter of the single gold stnndatd Is known, and will be through all hls toiy as "Old Bullion " The Democratic paity if today, hav ing abandoned all the political Ideas which once made it gloilous Is now a iiore tonglomeiation of opposition and rami nniiing. leauy to ruse with any political faction and eoalose with any ism of lawlessness which piomlses It any aid In gaining power in stat it n.i lion. The Democratic part in Peniwlvi nia declaied In their state convention that state questions In the appioach Ing election weie p.iinmount to all na tional issues Theli gnat state Issue Is opposition to some of the acts of the last leglslatuie. And to lnsuie n fnlth fjl Investigation of such acts the paity has nominated thirty candidates for election to the congress of the United States. In Yoik state the Demociatic paitv. In Its state convention, after declaring that thev aie Jelfersonian Deinociate. resolved that state ques tions. In this election, aie paramount to national Issues. Theli great sute question Is nn investigation into the management ot state canals And to lnsuie that, the paity nominated thirty-four candidates toi election to the conrre's of the United States, to be electee! i n tne gieat state lsue of the depth of the vviilei In the Hile canal.

"How about fiee Kansas''" Tho candidate In lcspniKo said "The Democratic paity is conducting this election on state Is snes onlv: I am In favor of the re peal of the woodpec ker law " If the Democratic partv Intended patilotlrallv and sincerely to support the nntlonnl government without em lanasment In its efforts to settle all questions, l faulting fiom tho war with Spain In accordance with the Just ru sponslblllty of the llepubllc to liberty and humanity, thev would not every where have made congressional nomin ations ngalnst the national administra tion; while claiming that the most Im portant, and really the only cuestons for settlement n the coming elections are those of state administration. While "peace has Its victories no less leiiowiied than war," yet most of the mights achievements In the unwind Piogiess of the lace to a better civili zation have been wi ought by the sword.

STONE AT BRADFORD. The Republican Cnndldate Greeted with Enthusiasm, lhndford, Pa., Oct 19. Hon. W. A. Stone addressed a large audience in ! Hxchnnge Lvcoum tonight. Hon. W. U. Uurdlck acted as chairman of the meeting. Mr Stone was quite hoarse I and did not talk over half an hour. Ho stated that he never saw such enthll ' slnsm In a political campaign us Is now manifest In nil parts of Pennsylvania. The people of the Keystone state are wide awake this fall and nro not to hi fooled by the fake Issues ndyanced by the Democratic and Prohibition candi dates. Mr. Stone deplored the fact I that the present campaign hns been lowered to such a level by the oppo sition. He says the question of burning tho cnpltol at Hnrrlsburg Is not an Issue and never will be until his opponents accuse him of being the Incendiary. Tho paramount question, Mr. Stone as serted, Is w bother or not tho voters of Pennsylvania wish to sustain the ptes cnt natlo'inl administration. This full's campaign Is almost national in Its character, inasmuch, as It Is being watched by all civilized nations nnd the result will have an Immense beir ing on national affairs. If the people of Pennsylvania nro satisfied with Mr. McKlnloy's administration, they should express their approval on Nov. 8. by voting tho Republican ticket, an the election of other candidates would surely stamp Mr. McKlnloy's adminis tration with disapproval. The party will go to Kane tomorrow afternoon and In the evening will hold a meeting at Mount Jewett. MONTAUK POINT WAS ALL RIGHT The Sick Soldleis Weie 111 Upon Their Arrival There Investigation Shows Up Yellow Journal Report- Jncksotiville, Oct. '. The war Inves tigating commission today examined a large number of regimental and other ofllcers. One of the most outspoken witnesses of the clay was Dr. Frye, of the Third division hospital. He con demned some of the methods In vogue In the hospitals and snld that In many cases the contract physicians: and members of the hospital coips v.eie In competent.

He iitulhutecl It laigely to the age of the men, voung people being more sus ceptible than those nunc advanced In vears to this disease. He also thought much was clue to the caielessness of the men themselves. Dr. Frye ex piessed the opinion that In soveial In stances convalescents had been sent a way from the horpitnls with which he was connected before they weie sullle lently advanced to permit them to go In safety. He thought thete Instances wot- due to lnsuflicl"nt supervision, to lgnoiance ot phvslclans and n elesiio to clear the wauls of the hospitals for Hew patients. Dr Frye spoke In vers uncompllmen taiy teims of the men engaged In the hospital coips salng that they had been picked up at random over the country and weie goneially a "scabby looking lot, not fit to adoin any walk In life" He also spoke depieclatlng ly of the contract suigeons, saving that he would not be willing to tiust his family or friends to 50 per cent, of them In leply to a lequest from (Gen eral Dodge.

CHICAGO HAS A PEACE JUBILEE PATRIOTISM UNRESTRAINED IN THE WINDY CITY. Tho Streets Thronged -with Specta tors Viewing tho Parades Presi dent McKinley Received with En thusiasm Other Distinguished Quests of the City Police Unable to Control the Crowds. Chicago, Oct. 19. One brief glclim of sunshine and only one has been thrown upon the ceremonies of the peace jubi lee. It was a fleeting, short-lived burst of thlrd-clas9 sunshine, but It fell upon the piesldent's levlewhig stand Just as the head of tho great parade was ap proaching. Chicago has seen many parades greater thnn thnt of today, but she never has seen one that pleased Its people belter. Notwithstanding the most elaborate arrangements of the police department, the banishing of every street car and vehicle of every description from the down-town streets, there were times today when the crowd was too great for the police to handle, and at many places the crush at times was dangerous. After tho parade the jam In Jackson boulevard In front of the Union League club house was filghtful. Strong detachments of police, soldiers und marines while attempting to an est the massing of tho rrowel, were pushed back, huddled together and finally broken up and sentteied by sheer weight of the throng. Long after the parade wa3 over the boulevard was a mass of surging, struggling human ity which would not move and which could not be moved until It pleased. The greetings extended to President McKinley were enthusiastic to the ex treme, ns were the plaudits showeied upon Geneial Miles and General Shaf ter as they passed through the streets. The piesldent In his canlage was sur lounded by members of the Chicago Hussars foimed In a square, and de tachments of the Orand Aimy and of Confederate veteians acted as an es coit. He led the parade from the start ing at the foot of Congress street and Michigan avenue to the Union League club house, where In company with all other distinguished guests he alighted and reviewed the parade. Tlnoughout the entile march past the stand, which lasted a tilfle over three houis, the pi evident remained standing. Mrs. Mc Kinley arrived at the Union League club somewhat In advance of the pi evi dential party escorted by Captain lie Williams ciinnns for thi: pp.ksidhnt. Duilng the passage of the procession Mrs. McKinley rcmulnd at an upstairs window of tho dub house.

Among them weie the Clun-Nn-Gael Guards of Chicago, r)00 strong but without weap ons. Not a man can led a rifle, not an otllcer a sivcrd. After these came the Fourth regular Infantry fiom Fort Sheildan and then such of the fighting men of Chicago who have returned from the wai. As tho mllitniy division,' commanded by Bligacller Geneial Fltz-dmmons, of the Illinois National Guard, approached the leviewlng stare! the enthusiasm of the crowd knew no boundH. The Flist Illinois, which gave more lives du ing the war than any Illinois body of the enlisted men, set the people fi untie. The Seventh Infantiy closed the painde. Directly after tho Seventh infantrv ha J passed the piesldent left tho re viewing stand going Into the club house. Thiee cheers were given him ns he left, and three chcr-rs were near to being the death tlgnal for many peo ple. All day long the pressure of the crowd on the police lines at the two ends of tho square In the center of which the Union League club house is sltuited had been enormous. CHOAVDS UNCONTP.OLLAULI:. They opened their lines just as tho crowd In front of the club house was cheering tho piesldent, and the ciowd. thinking some new excitement was on, hastened from both ends of the square towards the center. Seeing the awful ciush that must Inevitably ensue, the police made desperato efforts to push tho crowd buck tow aid the ends of the square, but without avail. Detach ments of soldiers and murines wet e hur ried to their assistance, but lu a short time they, too, were powerless. Final ly, after desperate pushing, the marines managed to clear a small space nnd forming In lino they fixed bayonets and stnndlng shoulder to shoulder tried to hold back the ciowd. The effort was futile and seeing that the bayonets must Infallibly result In loss of life If kept on the level, the nidi lues snatched them off, and then It was all ovei. Marines, boldlers and policemen were mixed In the crowd utterly helpless. Tighter und tighter tho crowd became and then came women's and men's cries of distress and calls for help. A large stand had been erected on the noith side of the square, opposite tho club house on vacant ground, All along tho edgo of this stand hands were reached to the struggling crowd below and hundreds of men and women and children were dragged Into tho stand above.
