"The American people still have lot.*

Lillian Russell is playing to crowded
bouses in Berlin and the prospects are
good for a German husband. A Ger
man delegate in the next international
convention of I.llllan's ex-husbands
would give variety to the proceedings
A reaction against political bosalsm
Is setting In. The system which be
gan in the crowded wards of the big
cities has grown and fructified In every
stratum of American politics. The
people are disgusted with bossiHm
They are making ready to pull It out
by the roots and cauterize the wound.
They will begin in the ward precinct
and finish In the white house.
It Is reported everywhere that Cu
ban flags are u drug on the market, and
dealers who have loaded up with them
count them u dead loss. This Is In
Itself a matter of small moment, for
•.hero Is no special reason why Amerl
cans should buy Cuban flags, but It is
not time to forget Cuba yet as most
people seem In danger of doing. The
most serious part of the problem which
we so light-heartedly took up is yet to
come.
Sir Hugh Nelson, premier of Queens (
land; Sir George H Reid, premier of.
New' South Wales, and Sir George H.
Turner, premier of Victoria, recently i
met In conference and discussed plans i
for a Pacific cable. They decided to ,
make the definite offer that If Great j
Britain and Canada collectively would
guarantee five-ninths of the cost of
laying the new cable they would rec
ommend their respective legislatures
to contribute one-ninth each, asking
New Zealand to contribute the re
maining one-ninth.
While the really bravo and true
women of the country have been work
ing and suffering for the hoys In blue
cheering them through every 111 that
befell and trying to make their life and
their burdens as easy as possible, other
ladles, of a more hysterical and sel
fish turn of mind, have done their best
to make the soldiers aware of every
111 the camp life bore for them, and
have even tried to stir up mutiny and
desertion. It is a very good thing that
ladles of this temperament arc decid
edly outnumbered by the good sensible
women, who not only know how tc
meet suffering bravely themselves, but
can teach and help others to bear it
with the same fortitude.
“I’m a bolder man than you.slr.’* said
an English laborer to his master, not
long ago. "I durst spend my last far
den, and you duraen’t.’’ The laborer
never looked forward at all. On the
contrary, thrlfilneas is often taught the
classes by the masses. A little Ger
man girl who sells violets in tho
streets of a western city was question
ed the other day by her teacher, who
learned that she sold about twenty
flvc-cent bunches each school day.with
more on Saturdays and holidays, and
that she raised the- violets herself.
"You must be a great help to your
father," was the comment. •‘Oh." was
the quick reply. "I do not need to do
It. Father earns enough for us all.
but I am doing this to go to college. I
have three hundred dollars in the bank
already." The teacher, a Harvard
graduate, realising that the child could
<lraw a larger check than himself.wcnt
away thoughtful.
The close Intermingling of ways of
peace and ways of war is seen in
China, where two rival alien powers
have been disputing, each over the
right of the other to construct railroads
and develop the resources of the coun
try. Their opposition is based on the
knowledge that such extension of the
appliances of civilization is a means of
political control and a source of advan
tage In war. Cultivate peace for the
sake of preparation for war. and gi
to war for the sake of the blessings o|
peace that Is the paradoxical rule of
■mflim stateeamaehip.

Parts, Oct. 3.-The representative of
the A»>oc!ntcd Press lea run that the
Mchniou of tbe Peace Commission to
day wan highly important and that the
Americans have made a demaud of
such character that the Spaniards find
it necessary to sisk for an adjournment
in order «" enable them to consult with
the government ut Madrid.
It is lielleved that the question con
cerns the Philippines, and it is known
that the Americans arc highly pleased
at having mj soon reached what they
consider a very Important phase In the
negotiations and consider the two ses
sions thus far held as satisfactory to
America A member of the commis
sion expressed the belief that the work
would he completed within one month.
In the Spanish camp great ho|>es arc
built on what they believe General
Merritt will advise, namely, that the
Philippines are Incapable of self-gov
ernment and that the whole situation
does not warrant America In taking
the responsibility for the entire Philip
pines. The Spaniards are ready to give
whatever America asks in the way of
coaling stations, but will. It Is claimed,
resist more, to the verge of a renewal
of hostilities.
Major General Merritt, who com
manded tin* American troops at .Ma
nila. arrived here today from Mar
seilles. The general did not see the
1 tilted States Peace commissioners !*
fore the opening of the Joint session to
day.
The American commissioners .held a
session this morning at their own of
fices. preparatory to the second meet
ing with the Spanish commissioners,
which began at the commissioners'
rooms in the foreign office at 3 o'clock
this afternoon. The plan of work
directed to !«• prepared by the secre
taries has not been jierfected. as the
secretary of the Spanish cotnmlKslou
•lid not arrive here tint 11 to-day.
To day's session lasted tintll 1 o'elock
at which hour the commissioners ad
journed to nu-ct ut 3 o'clock next Fri
day afternoon, such Interval tsdug nec
essary to allow separate deliberation
by each commission. The secretary of
tin* Spanish commission will arrive to
night. The Spanish ami American com
missioners will be received to-morrow
by President Faure. The hour fixed
for the reception of the Americans Is
A tr* In the afternoon. General Merritt
will accompany the Americans to this
function, which will be held at the Pal
ais de Hlysee. The opinion Is now held
that the work of the eontniissloiis may
he finished within one month.
Madrid. Oct. The reported Inton
tlon of the I'nited States government
to retain the whole of the Philippine
islands has created almost a state of
stupefaction here, and It Is seinl-of
tlcially announced that the Spanish
government has resolved to vigorously
combat any action, which it Is claimed,

ut«ml of Hp«tt».
Chicago. Oct. 4 A *i»echil from
Washington to the lb •cord says:
Gil Bias, the French newspaper, has
made a pretty close guests at the In
structions of the pence commissioners
and tin l policy of the United States
concerning the Philippine islands.
While iinliody outside the Cabinet cir
cle knows definitely what the Instruc
tions are. it is the general understand
ing among congressmen and others
who have been consulted by tbe I'resi
dent that our government will demand
the absolute cession of the Island of
Luzon and also the Island of Palawan,
which commands the entrance to the
China sea. and is reeommended by
naval authorities as the most available
locution for a naval station. It Is also
understood that our commissioners
will demand all of the commercial ad
vantages that are enjoyed by S|min In
the remainder of the Philippines, and
that no part of the archipelago shall be
transferred to any other nation with
out the consent of our government.
At the same time the American com
missioners an* given very wide discre
tion in the details of the agreement.
Having complete confidence in their
judgment mid patriotism the President
has not attempted to tie their hands.
Three of the commissioners— Davis.
Frye and Held—are expansionists; Day
and Gray are not.
It Is expected that the Spanish gov
ernment will show the greatest tenac
ity In objecting to the provision which
prevents the transfer of the sovereign
ty of any of the islands without the
consent of the United States. It Is gen
erally assumed by the diplomatists
here that Spain intends to get rid of
the whole of the archipelago and that
there Is already a secret understanding
for the sale of a naval station to f*€»r
many for a price which will i*over part
of the cost of the war. Spain cannot re
tain any of the Philippines without a
« ontinu.nl conflict with the natives. The
insurgents are in active hostility In
several of them already, and it w*ill
cost more than they are. worth to en
force Spanish authority. At the same
time the Spanish government will not
care to Is* hampered by any conditions
in disposing of tbem.

Milwaukee. Wis.. Oct. 2.—The pecu
niary damage by tin* forest fires iu the
northwestern part of the state cannot
be estimated nt present. It may
amount anywhere between one and five
million dollars. Many days will elapse
before the extent of the ruin of the
fiery element will lie known. A general
rain is falling throughout the state to
night. This will undoubtedly put an
end to the devastation. Clarke. Chippe
wa and Barron counties appear to have
suffered tie* greatest destruction.
Ovet 100 jieople are reported missing
in the vicinity of Rice Lake. Sixty
families are homeless near Cumberland.
Seventy-five families at Turtle
and many farmers have lost all their
property aml had a narrow escape
themselves. It Is also believed many
persona were bunted to death in their
efforts at fighting the flames, being un
able to escape when their efforts failed.
Many narrow escapes are reported.
A party of loggers In charge of Aug
ust Mason of Chippewa Falls, were re
turning from tin* rami* at Cedar Lake.
They had a race for their live*, hav
ing a handicap over the flames of eight
mile* and having bat one mile to cov

ly made for a lake mounted on horses.
With the beat and smoke almost un

the goal In time, dashing Into «iie lake,
where they remained until the flame*
passed over. Four men who were In

••The limit***! time allowed to the

The President will be in Omaha Oct.
12. The railroads running to that city
from Denver have made a special rate
from this city to Omaha for the oc
