A Temporary Deadlock in the Proceedings of thit l'arls Fence Commission. Scnal Cablt Dtivatchu to Tax Bun. Puis, Dec. 2.-To-day's session of the Joint Pease Commission was practically wasted, as a difference of opinion arose respecting the order ot the proceedings. The Spaniards suggested that tho articles hitherto agreed to be put defi nitely Into the form lu which thty will appear in the treaty, while the Americans, on the con trary, requested that the remaining artloles be rt discussed and agreed to In prlnolple. Ths Spaniards declared that they ooold not dots ths Americans requested, beoause final Infractions as to the remaining artloles had tot been received from Madrid. Hence a tem porary deadlock arose. The Spaniards under foot to telegraph to Madrid for the requisite Institutions, and will meet ths American Com nluioners again to-morrow. ' One ol ths Spanish Commissioners informed tia correspondent of Tns Bos to-day that there was no truth In the report that the Span lards refuse to renow the protocol of 1877. frfclebwas favorable to the Americans, since that matter bad not yot been reached. Apparently both sides are playing for ths ad rantate of position. The Figaro says that 11. Delcass e.

ATJtorzyji ton uoni'itixa Fortunately Only One Dole TfM Otten to the Tatlent by Wny ot a Sleeping Draught. Ths'mlatnko of putting up atropine for mor phine In a prescription has been made onae more, and as a result ot the pharmacist's error Mrs. A. M. Moore of 877 Blxth avonue has lain In bed tor mare than a fortnight, with the ill ness tor whloh the medlolne was prescribed aggravated. Mrs., Moore bad suffered from rheumatism and an Injury to her knee. For some time she was unable to sleep, and on Nov. 16 Dr. Joseph Byrne of 345 West Fifty first street gave her a prescription calling for morphine In raspborry syrup and water. The prescription, was filled at the drug store ot George B. Sohwelnturth at 800 Sixth avenue early In the evening ot that day. About 11 o'clock a dose ot the medicine was given to the patient, and a few hours later her condi tion became such that the watohers by her bed sldo became alarmed, and when elie boeamo delirious Dr. Byrne was sent for In a hurry. "" He reached the house about 3 or 4 o'clook lu the morning, and as soon as ho saw Mrs. Moore he asked. In ths heat ot the moment, "What tho duvll have you beon giving her?" Slio wni delirious, her pulse was fesb'e. and the pupils ot tho eyes were greatly dilated. Mrs. Moore's daughter said that her mother had taken only the doctor's medlolne. "Oh, no." said the doctor, "that was not my medl clno that put her into that oondltton; she's got belladonna poisoning." . , Dr. Byrne examined aud tested tho medl olne, and found, he says, that In the bottle that was to have contained the morphine mixture there was atropine Mrs. Moore remained de lirious throughout the next day. It was not until yesterday that she got un from bed. Dr. Byrne said last nlclit, when questioned about tho esse: "1 can see no exiuse for such a nilstako as' that was. though I should not huve said anything about the matter, except to show that the error was not mine, at my own Initiative. I went to the druggist and he admitted Hint the mistake had boen made, although he said that he did not Bee how It could have beon made It hud been made by a clerk, ho said. He showed me the ar rangement of his poison closet, to enter n hlch it Is necessary to pass through two doors. The morphine bottle there Is twice the site of tho atropine bottle. He told me that the solu tions he carried contained, respectively, two grains ot morphine to the drachm and one grain ot atropine to the drachm. My pre scription called tor a grain of morphine tn an ouneo of raspberry syrup and ?.-ater, to be given In teaspoonfu! doses, which would have given an eighth ot a grain to a doss. H "The druggist says that a halt drachm of the atropine solution was put up In the pre scription (that would have been the right quantity of the morphine solution it it Is In tbe proportions he says at his shop): this would give the patient at a teaspoontul doo one sixteenth grain of atropine. Ono-stxtleih grain would be a g"od dose for an adult. Adults do not tolerate atropine as well ns chil dren do. So she got nearly tour times the dose of atropine that would have been given If atropine had bseu prescribed." Mr. Sahwelnfurth said to a reporter last night that he knew nothing about the matter further than that a mistake had been made. ihat Dr. Byrne knew all the particulars and that Ir. Swartz, Mr. Bchwelnfurth'a former part ner, who was latterly a clerk and who had put up the prescription, had been discharged be cause of his mistake. The poisoning ot Mrs. Moore was made the subjeot of comment by Edward Thlminp, Sec retary of the Druggists' League for Shorter Hours, last night In an address delivered before- the Enworth :iub at 'JO'J East Fifty-sixth street, on "Drug Trade Horrors and tho Ten Hour BUI of the Druggists' League for hhorter Hours as the First Attempt to ltemedv Them." He said that occurrences similar to the Moore oase happened overy day, although not as a rule so serious as this one. and that a number of fatal cases occurred In the course ot a year. nuitT nr be as o.v tub bus. Fourth Officer and Boatawnln Taken to Hospital in Hoboken. The North German Lloyd steamship Ems. duo at this port from the Mediterranean on Wednosday. got In yesterday afternoon altera two days' battle with colossal seas combed up by tho reoont storm. Ehe carried only 34 cabin passengers, but there were 446 Immigrants, mostly Italians. In the steerage. Bhe ran Into the riot of gale and sea before daylight on Wednesday morn ing. The blast was then from southwest and west and tbe spoondrift was so thick that the officers on the bridgo oould hardly see as far as tho ship's bow. The speed ot the engines was re duced to four knots, 'which Is just about steer age way. The steamship was rolling and pitching in a way that sent thoso of the Italians who were not seasick on their knees petitioning their saints. The officer In charge of the bridge saw a cliff of water, which he says looked forty feet high, measured from tho trough of the sea. rise on the port bow. It struck Inboard with a sound that startled eTery soul of tho ship's company It tore away a 150-foot section of the port rail, lifting three llfoboats- from the davits, twisting of? the davits and carrying the boats across the superstructure of the ship. One boat fell on the engine room skylight, mashing It in and flooding the ongtne room and stokehole. Another boat stove the steer age oompanlonwnv oover. Fourth Officer Mlrow was borne along on the crest of the great eomber and dashed down the steerage compsnlonwuy among tho Italians, who were howling, screaming nnd praying. His right leg and left arm vreie broken. Boatswain Zvvanfcldt was also thrown across the, shin. Ills spine was hurt and ho was also Inluted Internally. Tho officers who wero un injured went down among tho Italians nnd quieted them. None of the passengers was hurt. Several ventilators worecarrled awny. The Ems made only four knots an hour during the twenty four hours the gale kept up. Fourth Ofllcer Mlrow nnd the boatswain wore taken last night to St. Mary's Hospital In Hoboken. 3IMI.

Chief Justloe; Enlatdo Tamayo, Joso Varela, Luis Gaston and M. de J Mandutey, Associate Justices, was formally In stalled In office to-day. The ceremony was Impressive. Tho Installation took place In the Supreme Court building on Calls 1 Marino, opposite tne provincial jail. The Justices sent a message to the palace re questing the presonce of Gen. Wood. He knew nothing of the plan of having a formal Instal lation, and wont to the Supremo Court building nttired In a khaki uniform and riding boots. He found the llvo Justices and thirty promi nent members ot tho Santiago bar tn the court room, til attlrod in the black gowns which Indi cate, according to Spanish custom, their legal calling. Tho robes of tho Justices differ from thoso of the members ot tho bar only In tho trimming, the cuffs ot tho Justices being ot yel low satin and those ot the lawyers of white. Upon the arrival of Gen. Wood tho Associate Justices formed In a circle around the chair ot Chlof Justloo Echovarrla and asked Gon. Wood totakoaseat. Tho court thon Informed him through Cnpt. Ramon Mcudoza, who acoompa nlcd him, that It was roady to administer the law ot the province according to his ideas. Gen. Wood told the Justices that they formed the Supremo Court of tho province, and would continue as suoh until a court for the whoto Island, to sit In Havana, should bo established. They had been recbmmondod, he added, by the' best citizens of the province as able lawyers and clear-headed men. He believed that they represented the best element ot the provincial population, and had confidence In them. He. as agent ot the military power of tho United States, would support their acts Gen. Wood outlined the course which he believed would bo wisest for them to pursue, and pointed out cer tain things that required immediate attention. The Justices each accepted the supremacy ot tho Uultod States so long as tho Stars and Stripes should float over tho island, and then the first session of the court began. There Is niuoh important litigation to be settled and tho court will bo busy for several months. Gen. Wood told the correspondent of 'Ins Sun to-day that he believed ho had souurod the best men in the province tor Judges. He is confi dent that they will work harmoniously. He will watch their first acts closely, and. It it be comes necessary, will use tho power of removal vested In him. Gen. Wood told a committee ot prominent citizens to-day that they should do something among themselves to suppress the attacks mado by tho pross on Americans. Ho said: " What your papers say makes no difference to me. but they are hurting you and your peo ple. I used to get large voluntary contribu tions from philanthropists in America for the relief of distress a none the Cubans, and re ceived many Inquiries regarding business openings. The attitude of the press has shut off these contributions, and the inquiries about business oponlngs nroeteadlly becoming fewer." Oen. Wood, by bis intelligent polloy, has won over many neutrals. The only active opposi tion to tbe American administration In the olty comes from a bunch of recalcitrants in Uie Ban Carlos Club and oertaln newspapers. Gen. Wood has appointed Col. Franolsco Tallento, formerly commander of the Cuban brigade In the Sagua de Tanamo dlstriot. chief ot the rural police tn the district. Obi. Vallente was the first Cuban loader In the province to disband his command and send his men home to work on their farms, telling them to leave the solution ot political problems to the Americans. He is a member of an old Santiago family, and was educated in ths United States. He has rendered considerable sorvlco to the Ameri cans lately. His action in disbanding his com mand was In violation of the orders of the Camaguey Government, and it mado him very unpopular among the revolutionists, but he Is well thought of by tho better elements of the community. He will immediately begin a thorough organization of the rural police. Gen. Wood has abandoned tho Idea of placing an American at the hend of the rural police. He cannot spare any of his competent military men tor the plaee, and he has now decided to give tho Cubans a thorough trial. He believes that CoL Vallente will be successful in main taining order In the country districts. The gunboat ntst was ordered to-day to pro ceed to Eey West, Gen. Wood had to abandon his plan of going to Glbara, on tho north coast, on a tour of inspection In her. The Hist has not yet left port. Gen. Wood wants her to stay hero, and has cabled to tho Navy Department asking that the order for her departure be rescinded. Gen. Dometrlo Castillo, Assistant Civil Gov ernor, has cone to Sagua de Tanamo to help Major Harris organize a civil government there. HELD COVTtT OS TRAIN.

Undor tho now National Guard law the Governor has a staff of one Adjutant-General of the grade of Brigadier-General, one Military Secretary of grado not higher than that of Colonel nnd fourteen nldos-de-cnmp.

The other ten must he appointed from among the commissioned oftlcors of tho National Guard and tho Naval Mllltla: they must be ot a grado loss than that ot Colonel; their assignment to staff places will not Increase their existing rank or relieve them from duty with their or ganizations. Col. Roosovelt will lot Oen. Hoe suggest the names of tho ton aides who aro to bo appointed from thn National Guard, nnd will probably follow closely the Mnjor-Gonoml's recom mendations.

Bhe Married Alderman Scott After Being Divorced from Thonini Rhavne Scott Gets Extreme TJnctlon Only on Condi tion Thnt Bhe I,eave During the Itlte. Alderman Edward S. Scott of the Fourteenth ward of Brooklyn is dying at his home, 04 Berry street, Williamsburg, from a compiles cation ot jaundice and dropsy. His wife and her two ohtldren wero at his bedside last night, but, owing to the orders of the Catholic prfbsts of Williamsburg, Mrs. Scott was forced to leave her husband's bedside whon tho last rites of extreme unction wore administered to him on Thursday night. Mrs. Scott Is tho daughter of Police Captain John Reardon ot the Sixty-first precinct. Green point. She is a sister of Nells Borgon, the prima donna of the Do Woir Hopper opern com pany. Several years ago she married Thomai Shnyne, a brother of 0. 0 Shayno, tho furrier of this city, but two years ngo soparated from him and rocclvod a decroo of divorce eighteen months ngo. Shortly afterward sho married Bcott, and both she and her new husband were excommunicated from tho Church, aa tho Church does not reoognizo a marriage with a divorced person. t. The wedding occurred Just before elsotlon, but was kept a scorot, as tho Fourteenth ward has a Atrong Cathollo vote and Mr. Scott thought It would Injure his ohanoes forsleo tlon as Alderman. As soon aa the voto was counted, however, the marrlago waa an nounced and It created quite a stir. Ou Thursday night Scott's condition beoame so serious that It was deemed best to send for a priest, and tho Rev, Father Martin Carroll of the 8t. Ytnoont do Taul Church was notified. It Is alleged that he refused to oome, owing to Scott's marriage with Mrs. Shayno. The Rev. IntherJohnWood.afoncrourate under Fathor Carroll, but now reotor of the Church of the Holy Cross In Flatbush, was then sont for. He Is an old friend of the family, and he consented to come, making the proviso, however, that Mrs. Seott leave the house while he was ad ministering the last rites to her dying hus band. Mrs. Scott made no objection, and, talcing her two children, went to the homo of her father at Fourth and Berry htreots. Bhe remained there for soveral hours and then returned to her husband's bedside She refused an au dience to reporters last night, saying she had no comment to male on the action of Fathor C.irroll and Fathor Wood. When Father Car mil was asked If he had refused to arfrnlnlstor extreme unction to Scott he would make no re ply other than: "All I will say Is that wo did our duty as we sen It." Scott Is about 40 years old and very well-to-do. He Is a business partner of Benator Pat rick IL McCarren, who conducted Augustus Van Wyck's campaign for Oovernor. He served two terms as Port Warden at Williamsburg and has for years taken an active part In Demo cratic politics. He owns considerable property.
