At Paris the Understanding Ik That

Be Rejected, With Assurances
From Both Bides That There Will

tilities Europe Interested.
PARIS, Nov. 24.— -Spain seems ready
to Invest $20,000,000 in pride. It can
not, of course, be foretold what action
the Madrid commissioners will take
next Monday, when the limit of the
American ultimatum expires, but
among public men the Impression Is
general that the offer of the United
States will be rejected. This does not
mean more war. Not by any means.
Spain's defiance Is to be purely spec
tacular. The commissioners will part
without any formal agreement, but ac
oording to the programme as It Is un
derstood here, Spain will agree to re
tire in tho Philippines whenever the
Americans appear and yield without a
strutTKle, while the United States will
be bound by tho private agreement not
to attn<-k tli(i Spanish coast. The pride
of the Spanish ministry will not per
mit thorn to sign away the Philippines,
and they prefer to have them taken by
a show of force and lose $20,000,000 by
the operation. Other articles of the
private agreement will be, It is said: '
The present negotiations to be discon
tinued without a resumption of hostill- i
t'ubu and Purto Rico to be evac
uated, according to the terms of the
protoc oL
This arrangement, as was pointed out
!'luy, would enable Spain to set
tle the debt question without foreign
complications. It would deprive other I
Countries, Germany, for Instance, of a
diplomatic pretext for seizing the Caro
lines lrt payment of the portion of the
repudiated feiianish debt held abroad.
Hpaln ha», of course, finally abandon
ed all hope of financial relief beyond
the terms specified in Monday's note.
fsho has also ceased to expect any
Buropaan diplomatic aid. Not only
this, but sh" fears, and with good rea-
Bon, that she may even be despoiled of
her few remaining colonial possessions
by the cold-blooded European diplom
acy to which she appealed In vain
during the past jrear.
Semi-official correspondence Is now
taking place between Senor Montero
RkM and Judge Day upon certain '
points of th< American ultimatum and
also upon other matters. The most
Important Question asked by Montero
Rios Is whether the Americans reall>
meant that their ultimatum must be
answered next Monday, He has been
Informed that when the Americans said
"Monday, Nov. 25," they meant that
exact date. The Spanish answer will
probably be postponed to the latest
limit, Monday next, In order that this
exchange of views may be completed.
OPEN DOOR POLICY.
European Interest In the Philippine
question now centers In the question
whether or not the "open-door" policy
will be followed by the Americans tn
the archipelago The report in tho af-
Brmative has destroyed the last hope
I may have had of finding help
from any European power in prevent'
Ing the cession of the archipelago. In

tility and avoid complications. It Is
now being asked whether or not the
same course will be pursued In Cuba
and Porto Rico, but of that the Euro
pean public has not much hope.
One French Journalist remarks that
the fact that so ardent a protectionist
as President McKinley should accept
or consider accepting free trade for the
Philippines is ground for serious reflec
tion on the part of France. All our
colonial difficulties with England come
from our trying to shut out from our
colonies all the other powers by means
of prohibitive tariffs.
"It would be strange," he continues,
"If the expansion of protectionist
America should revolutionize the pol
icy of the greatest colonial nation after
England."
Many political economists here be
lieve that this may happen. The im
portance of trade considerations ap
peals all the more strongly to France
at this moment on account of the hap
py Issue of the commercial treaty with
Italy.
An authority on these subjects, M.
Valfrey, says today: "There is a truth
of the highest importance and beyond
question at the present time. It is
that commercial interests between |
neighboring powers are preponderant
in fixing their political relations. There
is too great a tendency on the part
of England to proclaim the superiority
of the Anglo-Saxon over the 'decaying
Latin races,' but a good commercial
understanding between Italy and
France will reduce to Its true value this
haughty and sometimes unbearable as
sumption."
The- secretary of the Spanish oora
mtsßkm, Senor Ojeda, said today that
the instructions from Madrid were not
sufficiently matured to enable them to
appoint the next meeting.
The correspondent of the Associated
Profs asked Senor AJbarazzua, today,
If the commissions would be able to
leave Paris next week with the treaty,
and he replied with a sidelong glance,
as though to observe whether his ques
tV>ner noted the significance of the re
ply:
"I suppose we shall be here for an
other fortnight."

LONDON, Nov. 24.— The Madrid .cor
respondent of the Dally Mall pays:
"The cabinet will take a final decis
ion tomorrow (Friday), but it is agTeed
in principle to authorize Senor Monte
ro Rios (president of the Spanish com
mission) to sign a peace treaty, al
though the commissioners may be in
structed to Insist upon Its ratification j
by the cortes. It is believed that this i
decision will provoke an internal crisis.
"It Is reported that the Carlists have
smuggled 12,000 Mauser rifles across
the frontier.
"The Carlist organ announces that
Don Jaime, after a conference with his
father, left Venice upon a mysterious
Journey, In company with a prominent

Waxiiliist on Rumor Says He Is to
He Spain's Sew Premier.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.— 1* 1b currently
rumored now la Madrid, according to cable
advices, that Ocn. Weyler will b« mad*
prime minister as soon as th« peace confer

carries with It ttie assurance that Benor
Bagasta will resign v soon ** the treaty
of j>r-arv> 1b signed and that Gen. Weyler will
ißUMdtetety be choson as his successor.
&emor Saga=ta, it Is well known, is extreme
ly anxious to be relieved of the burdens of
state, aiid would l.:ivc t< ndered his resigna

which might have resulted in the overthrow
of the reigning dynasty. The queen regent

an lHUHMllWlllj tc carry into execution some

which he h«e accused and condemned Saguata

The quet>u regent believes that Weyler and

There is no doubt that Gen. Weyler has a
majority of the people In bis support. Not

ter enemies, who are watching his every
action and endeavoring to sreure a chargw
of conspiracy agatn»t him, but fear to take
auy decided action, knowing such a step
would be fatal at this time.
It is also well known -hat Weyler and
Sagasta are holding conferences nearly
every day, and tho inference drawn from
this circum&tanoe U that Sagasta is placing
Gen. Weyler in possession of all secret in
formation concerning affairs and preparing
him for the acceptance of the office of prints
minister.

An A lit slicny Woman Victim of n
Peculiar Assault.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. Nov. 24. — Miss
Nora Bitner, a highly respected vioung
lady of Allegheny, was beaten so badly
this afternoon by three girls (none of
■whom were over fifteen years of age)
that she will probably die. Her as
eallanta, Mamie Wright, Sophia Mickle
and Victoria Bennett, are in Jail. The
cause of the assault is rather mysteri
ous. It seems that Miss Bitner, -with
a young: lady companion, was walking
along East Ohio street, and, In pass
ing a group of young girls at play, she
made some jocular remark concerning
the party, whereupon one of th*
youngsters grabbed her by the hair
and pulled her to the ground. While
prostrate, Miss Bitner was kicked on
tho head and beaten into insensibility.
Her companion was unable to protect
her. and a rescue was only effected
when xilve women came upon the scene.

A3STNISTON, Ala., Nov. 24.— Members
of the Third AJab&ma, the negro regi
ment, with murder In their Ivearte,
caused the greatest excitement tonlghit
that this town has ever known. Short
ly after dark Private G-ildhart, of Com
pany B, Second Arkansas, while return
tag to camp from town, was Shot In th«
head by a negtro soldier, who also stab
bed him In the back. CHMhart was tak
en to the regimental hospital. A little
later a member of the Fourth Ken
tucky was reported to have been shot
on Walnut street by negro soldiers,
who lay In a g-ully shooting at the
white men wiho passed. Firing was
heard In LJoeria, the negro quarter of
the city, which is not far from Walnut
Btreett, and a squad of the provost
guard v/ent to lnv-esitigate. As It turn
ed the corner of Fifteenth and Pine
streets, a large crowd of negro soldiers,
■without •warning, opened fire upon the
guard with Springflelds, the gun In use
in the regiment. The guard returned
the fire, butt had few oartrtdsres and
soon had to retreat. When rednforce
menta and ammunltiom were secured
the negroes had disappeared.
In the engagement Sergeant Dodson,
Third Tennessee, was shot In the arm,
and Private Graham, Thiird Tennessee,
in the stomach. If any of the negroes
were shot It Is not known, as no dead
or wounded have been found- Two
members of the provost guard are miss
ln-g.
When hews of the trouble became
known white soldiers who were in the
city gathered around the provoet guard
headquarters and begged for guns and
ammunition, but were refused. Citi
zens armed themseJvee and repaired to
the scene of the battle. Mayor Hight
had the saloons closed. Several negro
soldier*, one with a Springfield, whidh
had just been fired, were arrested In
various parts of the city and locked up,
though it was with difficulty that the
Infuriated white soldiers and citizens
were prevented from wreaking sum
mary vengeance upon them.
ARMORIES LOOTED.
Armories of the two local military
companies were broken into and every
gun and cartridge appropriated by un
known parties. Gen. Frank, who is in
command of this troops, came out and
was an the streets until a late hour.
Gen. Cofby, comtn-.«-.;ndlng the Second
brigade, brought In two comra-nlea
•a-ch of the Third Tennessee and Sec
ond Arkaaiaas. They scoured the city
and carried all soldiers not on duty
t>ack to the camp.
A meonber uf the Fourth Wisconsin
is cald to hiave been shot, but the re
port cannot be verified. One negro
soldier, while under arrest, was ©hot
in the arm by a citizen.
After the engagement at Fifteenth
and Pine, very few negroee, either
soldiers or civilians, were to be found
on the streets, but fiTlng has been heaiM
at interval* in various parts of the
city.
A negro soldier was dangerously
beaten by BOine white soldiers on Tenth
street, this aftennoon, and this Incident
is Hiippostd to have caused the riotous
actions on the part of the negroes, who
are said to have slipped out of the
camp through the guard lines.
One negro soldier has just been
Lrouifhit tn dead and another fatally
wounded.

Cubans Have Original Idea* «>f the
Yankee Ethiopian.
SANTIAGO. Nov. 24.— El Porvonlr
prints a two-column article with refer
ence to the Intention of a colored
preacher of Topeka, Kan., to bring
thirty families of negroes and estab
lish a town In the highlands above
Santiago, which shall be known as
Toptka. El Porvenir demands that the
people boycott the Yankee negroes, as
serting that they are frequently guilty
of horrible crimes, and that the
Southern states, anxious to be rid of
their colored population, will endeavor
to send them to Cuba, It alludes to
the San Luis incident, stating that all
Yankee negroes are on a par, and that
they will ruin the country, as they are
able to live on practically nothing.
The paper maintains that the Cubans
have a right to regulate immigration
Into the island; that they object to
the negroes and that they will not
have them.

that fashionable women and men need more

Instead of beginning at 11 p. m., or at mid

President Charles Adams said:
"The war being practically ended, labor
and capital have a right to demand that their
Interests shall not be Jeopardised or prosper
lty further delayed by any doubtful terri
torial expansion.
"Trade will follow the flag only as we are
able to meet the competition of other nations
and we cannot deny them commercial rights
to our colonial possession* without expecting
to receive the same treatment In return.
"What this country needs Is market ex
pansion for our products, and the beat way
to secure that result is by making known to
all markets that we manufacture and can
furnish the most desirable and best goods
for the money that are produced in any in

difference being that the managers of the ball
expect that they will clear more money out
of it than eveT before on account of the ad

council of the Associated Charities has given
its final decision in favor of holding the ball.
The Associated Charities was placed in a
position of either surrendering to the dicta

fering defiance to the same. They do not de
sire to do either, but feel that the preachers
are too hrte for their protest to be eorasid-jred.

In the Gale of Tuesday— — Change

Crew, Who Had Enoaped to Shore,

Her Into Port.
DUL.UTH, Minn., Nov. 24.— (Special.)
—^The Bteamer Qsceola, of the Port Hu
ron, DoiHitli & Wash burn, line, arrived
here tonight after an experience that
steamers do not often go through. In
the heavy gale of Tuesday morntatg
the steamier wenit ashore on Mott Isl
and, which Is near Isle Royale, In Ca
nadian waters, striking at 6:30 in the
mxvrnlng. When the steamer went
ashore the wind was Wowing from the
northwe«t, and as <the boat waa on the
south side of the Island the crew began
to lighter the vessel to permit her slid
ing off.
While at this work the wind changed
and began to blow from the northeast.
Tills caoißed the boat to go further on
the lslaxid the more she was lightered.
Then the work stopped, and so desper
ate seemed the situation that the crew
left the vessel and abandoned her to
her fate. It took from 9:80 in the morn
ing un/tll 3 in the afternoon to get the
men off, so heavy was the sea.
Capt. J. C. McLeod, the ship's master,
kept some matches from g^ttimjf wet
by putting them in a bottHe. A fire was
kindled on sihore and the ctrew was
saved from suffering the hardships that
they would have endured had a fire
been impossible.
Early the next moaning 1 the wind
changed again, blowing from the north
west once more. This shoved the boat
off the Island, and the crew, managing
to reach the vessel, came into port last
night, after as narrow an escape from
death as has occurred on the lakes in
many season*.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24. — The Western
football championship goes to Michi
gan. On a field that was simply per
fect for fast football, and before a
crowd of fully 12.000, the maroon of
Chicago, went down before the maize
and blue, of Michigan, today, by a
score of 12 to 11. Michigan's score rep
resents two touchdowns, goals being;
kicked in each Instance. Chicago made
one touchdown, a goal and a goal from,
placement. The reversal of form
shown by the Michigan men sinoe
they barely succeeded in defeating
Northwestern was something remarka
ble. The Michigan nine, In which big
holes were torn by the light North
western team, was simply Impregna
ble today, with the exception of about .
ten minutes in the second half, when
the Chicago men, with defeat staring
them In the face, pushed their oppo
nents aside with apparent ease. Even
in the punting, Michigan was not much
inferior, as, although Hershberger's
kicks wer« longer than Caley'e, yet the
lafcter'B, as a rule, were better placed.
Hersttberger was a big factor in the
game. Every one of Chicago's eleven
points were made by the stocky little
half back. He kicked a goal from a
plaoe on the forty-<five-yard line in the
first half and scored the touchdown
and goal during Chicago's desperate
rally near the close of the second half.
But his work was marred by the faot
that he allowed himself to be drawn
in on a macs play, which resulted in
the most spectacular feature of the
game, a sixty-flve-yard run for a
touchdown by Widman.
PLAY WAS BEAUTIFUL.
The work of the Michigan ends was
beautiful. They were invariably down
the field quickly on punta and tackled
sure and hard. Chicago's ends also
did pretty work, Hamlll In particular
distinguishing himself both on offen
sive and defensive. His tackling show
ed a great Improvement and several
tlmew he prevented a return on a punt.
The styles of play adopted by the
two teams were altogether different.
Michigan, with the exception of one or
two double passes, relied almost alto
gether on straight football, line buck
ing and runs around the end. Chica
go, on the contrary, üßed trick plays
throughout. Several substantial gains
were made by double passes, but In
several instances the playe on account
of the good work of the Michigan ends,
Bennett and Snow, resulted in actual
loss of ground. Team work of a high
order was shown by both elevens. The
linemen charged much more quickly
than Is usually seen on a Western field,
and mass plays found every man in
step when the opposing line was
struck.
CHICAGO WON TOSS.
Chicago won the toss and chose the
scuth field, Michigan kicking off to the
thirty-five-yard line. Chicago imme
diately worked a double p«ass en a
fake kick, Kennedy carrying the ball
to Michigan's forty-flve-yard line.
Hershberger kicked to the five-yard
line. McLean made four yards around
right end. Caley made six yards
through Cavanaugh, and tried it again
for four more. Plunge thiough tackles
ar.d center brought the ball to Mi< hi
gan's thirty-two-yard line, where Chi
cago held for downs. Kennedy m;tde
four yards through right guard. Hersh
berger then tried a drop kick from the
forty- five-yard lin<?, but missed it by a
foot. The ball was brought out to
Caley and kicked to the fifty-yard line.
Chicago adopted line bucking tactioa
and advanced the oval to the thirty
yard line. Michigan was penalized ten
yards for off-side playing, buit Chicago
lost it immediately for holding, and
Caley kicked to Chicago's forty-three
yard line. A fake kick resulted in a
three-yard gain. The next play re
sulted more favorably, Hamill getting
the ball on a long double pass and,
helped by splendid interference, carry
ing It to Michigan's fifteen-yard lirue.
Michigan braced, and Hershbcrger tried
a place kick from the twenty-four-yard
line, but miissed it. The ball waa
brought ouit and Caley kicked to Chi
cago's fifty-yard line. Michigan got if
immediately on a fumble, and Widman
was sent through left tackle for seven
yards. Chicago regained the pig? kin
on a fumble on her forty-two-yard line,
but lo&t seventeen yards on a bad
pass to Hersberger for a kick. Bunette
advanced the baH two yards, and it
was Michigan again on a fumble on
Chicago's twenty-el ght-yard line. Wid
man went five yards through left tack
le, Caley, four through right tackle;
Steckle, eight yardis through right
tackle. It looked like a touchdown,
but on her five-yard line Chicago got
the ball for h .ldir.g. Hershbe ger kick

given to Michigan on the five- yard line .
for holding in the line, and on the next
