The Acceptsnce by the Spaniards.
According to the dispatches the peace
COSHDlssions have arrived at an under
standing preparatory to signature by
tiie two parties involved in connection
with the cl'.firg of h-nsiiiities bat ween
Spain and the Unite;! States.
A little less than elgbt months have
pulsed sinci; the declaration of war
_M tween this country and Spain was
_J_S_M.il. The accomplisliments by the
government of the United States
thn.ugh the army and navy have been
brilliaj.t in results, and the achieve
ments, so far ;is Increase at colonial
possessions are concerned, ha\ c been
far beyond any conception, even of the
n'owt ae^ressive-spirited citizen of ten
tn i.rhs ago.
To Htm up. the victory over
Si anfsa fleet in the bay of Manila May
1. i>y tln j then Commodore Dewey,
■'} at the time to afford nothing
nrore than the destruction of a number
oT ships of the enemy's navy. With
reserve the victor, after hLs v. ork
of righteous martial destruction, held
himself aloof from invasion of the
•bore line.
The events in Cuba and Porto Uico,
'luring July and Augu.-t, were of so
large hapsitsaee that the victor in the
<;'I ital of the Philippine islands has
been meanwhile compelled to remain in
the south s»-a.s pending the < ulmhia
ti>'.: of tiie trostJT of p(?.(f pra;"!i
effected ) 'Struts f in Pari.--.
\ ifWi-,l i:-,,ni the stSadpotal-l of hi,;
t.-ricai ncMevement, the war between
Spain ;ind the Unito,l Btslss, over tho
adjustment ot the OUHcuUle* which
have sm loac prevsHed bet^sets the
colonial lHjpulaition of Cuba and the
niotber ootintry, has pmvWed Incidents
Incsopsrable in their magnitude SFhen
the bare subject of Urns of life and
pecuniary uacriflce are taken into ac
count. Whatever may h.ive been the
u'l erior motives of those mho were
ii!<st argent in their demand that war
should be made ugainst St. am, in the
Interest of Cuban liberty, it is fair to
■aj that n> one ever contemplated the
les.uit which has come about.
The Initial victory at MRiula. while
it appealed to the odmirint sense u f :

With it nothing more than a forceful
reminder to the government at Madrid '
that S;).ii n uas dealing with a power ■
srt-Joh must be respected. The recency '
«>r th.- ministry'— and the one is and :
was the ( omplement of the other— j
might hay.' saved the colonial posses
si us of Spain both in the South I'a
cltie and the Caribbean Hea had wis
dom of councils prevailed. But it is
hardly just to accuse these representa
tives of power of lack of patriotism or
of shortsightedness in connection with
the further pursuance of the conflict.
There existed behind the throne and
the ministry in Spain a population
steeped in Ignorance, and this had to
be gradually led along ts a proper ap
preciation of the sorrow and humilia
tion which has, through unwise and
selfish government, fallen upon the
home of Castilian pride.
When the cost of the war is fairly
measured, as against tbe territorial ad-
VontOgl s acquired, under the treaty
settlement, the people of. ihe United
States can be fairly we'd satisfied with
tho bargain. That is to soy, the $20, -
--000.000 paid for the Philippines, as
t the acquisition of those is»-
Ottds, the coaling station In the
Ls Irones and the complete annexation
of Porto Rico combine to make a fair
Offset BgOinst the absolute expenditure
led with our so-called liberation
of Cuba.
But While these beautiful results of
diplomacy, following actual war, are
exploited, a reasonable degree .if
thought ought to lie bestowed upon the
p. ssible complications which must
inevitably result from the wholesale
adoption of the plan of < olonlal pos
sessions indorsed by the McKinley ad
ministration. A great step has been
taken on the part of the United Stat-s
ln conception with the So-colled ad
vancement of civilization and the
"destiny of the republic." Many shad
ows will probably issue from the twi
light ard thickening darkness of the
past into which we are now passing to
trouble our later dreams. The wisdom
Of today, as that quality may be esti
mated In the view of t ur recent na
tional victories, may uot size up well
with that wisdom which shall and
must come from experience along un
trodden lin^s of government to follow,
and which, furthermore, partakes al
together too much of the spirit of
speculation, ill conforming with the
cherished principles of a republican
democratic form of government.
World's Pathway of Commerce.
The Q lobe offers today the second
chapter in the history of the "World's
ay of Coff»>mence.'*
s especially with the l.nklng
of the Eastern and Western empires of
:d wth . ne another, tcrougn
the great power of ini.-rcitange of mer
chandise. Tbe influence of Rome is
dtait with, cursorily, but iv no sense
•
derogartary to that power. While
Rome's influence was in some particu
lars of a negative quality, because
of the selfish control exerted by the
government, it is unquestionable that
the spirit of trade found much encour
agement from that power in the cre
ation of transportation lines common
to that era. The Roman roads are
frequently mentioned in history, and,
even in England, the foundations of
these auxiliaries of commerce exist to
day.
And the influence of the establish
meat of the Byzantine center of trade
is also dwelt upon, and the division of
thr- commerce of the Orient proper with
the Western centers of Europe. The
story of the rise and fall of the Vene
tians is also told. The second chapter
brings the reader to the entrance to
the Atlantic through the Straits of Gib
raltar, and leads to tbe history of the
Portuguese discoveries, among them
the Madeira islands, through the enter
prise of Prince Henry, the navigator.
The features set forth in this chapter
lead up to the work of the Hanseatic
League, and the disc3very of America
by Columbus. Prince Henry died in
14fi.', neariy thirty years prior to the
mighty accomplishments of the great
sailer of Genoa.
Our Diplomatic Contingent.
The United States, which 100
yc-ars ago represented a popula
tion of between three and four
millions, is now expanded to the
proportion of approximately 50,000,000.
This growth has been natural and en
tirely oue to kocretfon by immigration
and increase of population within the
boundaries of the continent which ex
ist' '1 at the clcse of the Revolutionary
war or which came by natural ac
cessions of territory through the Louis
iana purchase of 1803 and the Texas
additions oi IS4S-9. to say nothing "f
thf Alaskan territory acquired in 1867.
The oomi:i'-i ./;a! importance of the
republic of the United States is prob
ably a quantity which is very .slightiy
understood and comprehended by the
I>' ■ \i\i- of th>- present day. The produc
tive capacities of the country aiv an
nually making themselves more and
mere apparent. We have had many
tferaiea over tariffs and ths prop
er methods of disposing of that which
th> productive energies of the people
annually yield. Theories are always
being advanced, and their applicability
to conditions becomes a matter of
test. There are many failures in all

Uut it may be positively stated that
there is nothing which the country
dt mands today $<\ far as the advance
ment of its commerce is concerned
so much as an intelligent • representa
tion abroad of our national resources.
Any one who will ta'se the pains to ieai

Quite recently New York city has
rit-en up to the sense of Importance of

It would seem t<> bs an spproprl h. pea
son for congress to awaken to the im
r "ttance of improving its consular
service. The country has been treated
t » a good many theories ln the past
t-aring upon what is styled the civil
service. It is not necessary that there
chould be an army of consular serv
ants created; but it is highly essen
tial that, when the .^tate department

upon to make its selections of repre

THE CLUB CORNER.
The Globe desires to make Its club cor
ner a clear and faithful reflector or Minne
sota organizations, and to this end extends to
them an urgent invitation to use its spaca
as an open parliament.
In response to a request much interesting
information has been received with reference
to the organization, purpose and methods of
various clubs. This matter has appeared
from time to time in this oolumn. and we
wish now to urge club women to continue
their correspondence by sending the Club
Corner the salient features of their study or
work, and also to forward aay interesting
points of discussion which may arise in their
club meetings. Such comparison of results
and Interchange of Ideas cannot but be help
ful to the clubs theunselves and instructive
to others.
While It is essentially a club column, it ls
nevertheless open to communications from
women who are not c*ub members, ard bear
ing on matters of Interest generally.

A dispatch from Wafhington to the Chi-ago
Times-Herald says thst the ladi»» of the
Capital City are about to organize a club
kDown as 'The Early to Bed club.". Such
an organisation already exists in Philadelpfc a
and cour.ts among its members some of th^

Tli* WaahiGgton league alms to reform the
• cf evening emertalnmem. to
make the hours devoted to pUesure earlier
and fewer, and by various devices to give tha
people who inhabit the world of fashion a
chance to get some beauty sleep.
The n;ethcd of procedure wiil be to obtain
the pledges of prominent women to begin all
entertainment* at a reasonable hour and to
end them before midnight. A series of lec
tures on hygiene, by tpeclalL-ta. and talks by
eminent phy^cians on the necessity of sleep
and its effect upon the bri:i:anoy of the in
tellect, will be given periodically. Mrs. Ly
maii Gaef. wife of the secretary of the
treasury, is heartily Indorsing the movement
In speakiug of the cub Mrs. Gage sad: "i
feel that 1 am not si tnt._'ed to give a
weighty opinion on this imporant subject as
those vsho bave ywn&g daughters and natu
ral iy desire to protect their health from the
various strains whi.h society in Its present
state puts upon them. Yet I think that all
are interested in seeing that while the
youi.< people — acd iucid^ntiy the older ones
too — have a pleasant time, they may n«t be
compelled to injure their health. As society
arranges Its programme now one of these
coud;Lions is the Inevitable consequence of the
other. Now I am cure that a reform whici
locks to curtailing the demands of evening
maota will certainly prove of Inesti
mable value.
LEAGUE WILL BENEFIT MEN.
''I must say a word also for ths masculine
contingent in society. While the young girls
are naturally more delicate and more prone
to show the effects of late hours, they can,
if they wish, sleep long into the day, aad
thus compensate themselves. But the gentir
meu, with very few exceptions, ars not mas
ters of their time. They are employed dur
ing the day in arduous pursuits, which re
quire not only physical strength, but a clear
head and a cairn judgment. They certalr.lv
do themselves or their employers an Injustice
if they spend the night in social dissipation,
and yet it seems bard to deprive them of
recreation just because tbey work."
Other prominent women who are supporting
this league are Mrs. John Foster, Mrs". Julia
Dent Grant. Mrs. Chandler, Mrs. Gallinger
and Mrs. Hale.
r UTORS IN DOMESTIC PROBLEM.
A valuable report on the hours of labor In
domestic servlos has just been completed
through the efforts or the committee of Bos
ton women to whose diligence ln studying the
servant question the New York Evening Post
recently called attention. To hosts of Ques
tions which they sent out to a large number
of housekeepers they received replies touch
ing the hours of 245 servants, and these fig
ures have been tabulated by the Massachu
setts bureau of statistics nf labor.
• • •
The 245 schedules filled out for the purposes
of the Investigation came from IS4 different
families. Of these more than one-half kept
only one servant, about one-quarter two
servants, ten families kept three, eight four,
three five, and only one six, and thia is sup
posed to be not far from the general ratio of
those employing servants in the community.
The families who employ but one domestic
are largely in the majority, and just here, it
would seem, ls a point, worth regarding. The
training of servants should bear especially
upon the better education or the general
housework girl.
• • •
But returning to the schedules. The ques
tions asked tho housekeepers were very defi
nite, viz. : At what hour does your girl begin
her day's work? What ls the latest hour of
the day during which she ls employed? How
many hours cf the day are perfectly free
time? During how many hours of the day
must she be "on call" though not actually
at work? To got accurate results, the house
keepers made careful observations every day
for two weeks, and as all th?s? records were
I kept conscientiously, the averages must bs
regarded as giving a thoroughly reliable ac
count of the length of hours lm domestic
service. It took ten girls In the bureau ot
statistics or labor six weeks to tabulate the
results.
• • •
The H5 domestics were classed under fif
teen different headings, according to the spe
cial duties devolving on them, and their
wages ranged from 12 to $6.46 a week. Tak
j Ing them as a whole, their average busy tima
wis found to be. for two weeks, teu hours
I and twenty-seven minutes da.ly, when Sun-
I day snd the 'day out" were counted; exch.d-
I ing these, the average working time on th
j other days was thirteen hours and eleven mm- i
utes The average free time— also excluding I
I Sunday and 'day out"— was three hours end
i thirty-two snd one-half minu es. and the time i
for rest, eight hours and twenty and one-l.a'.f
minutes. Those domestics who combine
chamber ard laundry work, cooking and laun
dry work, and those who did laundry work
alone, had a leas "buay time" than the others.
Nursery m-iida. : nursery governesses and
chambermaids were the busiest. Ths general
housework girls, as a whole, worked the lat
est often until nearly 11 o'clock, although
there were, naturally enough, exceptions la
every class. i
• • •
The lack of uniformity in the hours of do
mestics ls offsot by othqr things. Much of the
work is wholesome and cot excessively fa
tiguing. But the investigation just finished
shows tha: there, is a great indeflnltencss and
a lack of uniformity in. service for which just '
the same pay is given. The meal hours of do
mestics, which statistically are Included ln
the busy time, really shorten this time con
siderably. For some domestics take a long
time for their media, while others spend much
less time in this way than they might or i
should. Again, the trainee servant wiil make '
her head save her heels, acd her hours of '
labor would usually be found to be mnch less '
than those of the unskilled shop girL Even
the factory worker, whose hours of labor are
specifically shorter than the domestic or the
shop girl, works for the most part much mor? i
continuously than the latter.

It is worth while aoting that the domestic i
reform committee of the Women's Educa- ;
tional and Industrial union, wfcich has col- '
lected these statistics, makes no special com
ment on them. I have heard some of Its
members say thai it has no fault to find with
women ln general for the present state of
things In the matter of the hours of demes
nes. The Woman who can afford to pay for
It always will have the service that she re
quires. The only question is: Do we wish to
attract a higher type of girl into domestic
service? If we do, must we not do away
with the indefiniteness of hours and duties
which ttie domestics say makes housework
distasteful to them. A man could not afford
to conduct his business in the way in which
women conduct their households oftentimes.
The question of the hours and duties of tm
pJoyes is an important one with him. But
the average woman worker prefers the busi
ness methods of the mm to those of the
woman employer, and many girls in shop and
factory will frankly give as a reascn for their
dislike of housework the fact that they do not
like working for a woman.

St. Paul— Jobbing trade ln drugs, paints

enjoying an excellent business, with an in
crease of 20 to 30 per cent over last year,
while hardware is moving freely, and better
than a year ago. Cold weather and a good
snow fall has helped trade generally, and
warm footwear is in good demand, with sales
of dry goods equal to last year's. Collec

Minneapolis— The flour output reported
by the Northwestern Miller ia: Minneapolis,
358,385 bbls, against 351,415 last year; Superior-
Duluth. 93.980, against 86,505; Milwaukee,
49.030, against 41,325; St. Louis, 83,000, against
61.300; total, 584,395, against 540,604 last year.
The flour market is healthy, but domestic
trade Is bearish, while the foreign demand
for immediate shipment is better. Minne
apolis sales wero 315,000 bbls. with foreign
shipments 106.475. A heavy snow storm re
tards trade, but Improves conditions for
lumbermen, and jobbers are generally anxious
for cold weather. The saw mills shut down
this week, with lumber shipments 5.450 000
feet, against 6.090.000 last year. Real estate
traarfers and building permits are about half
last year's. Holiday buying has already com
menced. Hardware dealers are well satis
fied, and Implement houses report renewed
activity in car lots of heavy farm wagons
seeders, harrows, etc. Thanksgiving trado
has increased the demand for groceries and
provisions, and jobbers report satisfactory
business in dry goods, hats and clothes.—

St. Paul— Business continues good in most
lines, and the record for the week, taking
into consideration the interruption to railway
traffic by storms, has been a good one. Mer
chandise has moved freely, and collections
have been correspondingly satisfactory. The
severe weather, if continued, is expected to
liven up trade in some lines that have lagged
for a time, notably boots and shoes, furs and
clothing.— Bradstreet's, Nov. 26

i * .
SPECIAL LINES OF TRADE.
Boots and Shoes— It is suspected that
the delay of spring orders, which have been
much smaller than about thla date ln pre
vious years, results from the change in modes
of doing business, and jobbers now refuse, as
j far as they can, to take the. risk as to prices.
j the state of business or the extent of demand
j fUr ahead, buying only what they clearly
j need. This leaves the manufacturers to ruu
more on a hand-to-mouth basis, and so cur
rent reorders are keeping mest of the shops at
work, though orders for spring are still small.
Current demands of Jobbers have just now
been also curtailed, because retailers were
not inclined to buy more until there came a
decided change in the weather, and holiday
trade in slippers and fancy gcods is more
backward than in previous years. Duplicats
orders by jobbers for kip and split boo s are
accepted at 2Va cents le.s per pair than be
fore. Shipments from the East in four weeks
have been 287.963 cases, against 320,050 las.
year, but then the deliveries at the end ul
October were 250,000 cases behind, and this
year's shipments are larger than la any other
year, except in 1894. which were 4,000 cases
larger.— Dun's Review, Nov. 96.
• * •
Leather-Tanners have _o*d common bide
kip in fisirly large lots half a cent below pre
vious quotations, and the lower prices on
Latin-American hides of common varieties
render tanners less firm on leather generally.
—Dun's Review, Nov. 26.
• • •
Hld e«— The Chicago market generally al
va*ced, but without much selling at the high
er figures, and country hides were slow to
follow, so that possibly the little rise may be
only temporary.— Dun's Review, Nov. 26.
• • •
Wool— Manufacturers continue to buy quits
largely, but at concessions rather greater,
especially on flne washed fleeces, Ohio XX
being quoted at 27c. A broker from Lor.den
is making offers at Boston for Australian wool
ln bond. Less business U noted in foreign
wool, but the bulk of sales were ln territory
at a scoured cost or 42@43c. Transactions at
New York were small, though inquiry relates
to nearly all classes, but carpet wool d.ags.
Philadelphia reports continued concessions
with quite large sales, though mu>h business
ls prevented by the demands of consignors.—
Dun's Review, Nov. 26.
• • •
"Wool— The market shows more steadiness
at the prices fixed by the recent liberal buy
ing. Boston's ssles this week foot up 3.500/ tOO
pounds, about 2,700,000 pounds being domestic.
Of these sales about 1.600,000 pounds were ter
ritory grades. These wools are mostly being
sold on the scoured basis of 42® 43c for fine
medium and 40@41c for medium, with good
staple lots about 2@So higher. This is much
below the cost of this year's clip when mmr
k*ted, and most of these wools are yet held
for a better market. Some unwashed fleeces
ars yet selling at 20®22c for auarter an/1
three-eighths bloods, fancy parcels of the lat
ter bringing cent more in some instances.
Washed fleeces are meeting with a slow sale
but hold steady. Pulled wools are showing
more Inquiry. Australian wools are quiet, but
hold firm, with other foreign wools steady.
The next London sale opens Nov. 29, nnd
higher prices are expected, but no buying
from this side.— Bradstreet's, Nov. 26.
• • •
Dry Goods— So far as the cotton goods
division of the market goes the week closes
with a more assured tone than for some time
past. This is not difficult to account for.
The reduction ln prices of bleachod cottons
noted last week was followed by so liberal an
expansion of demand £at stocks have been
brought well under control, and present in
dications point to some recovery ol values ia
the near future. Print cloths ar-.'^ ._, n ge r
a bugbear, and toe export demand ls taking
care of heavy brown cottons. Spring special
ties in cotton dress fabrics are generally well
sold, and the Impression is quite general that
the markei for raw material has seen its
worst. Recent business has made a consid
erable impression upon stocks In first hands,
and price Irregularities have disappeared in a
number of directions. The woolen goods di
vision of ths market shows no change of
moment in either men's wear fabrics or drees
goods, the demand Is improving, but not suffi
ciently so to materially obange the situation.
.-.lks ars not selling as well as expected, but
prloea remain steady. Collections satisfac
tory.—Dun's Review, Nov. 26.
c c c
Dry Gaoda— There is yet a quiet tone
noticeable, the Thanksgiving holiday tending
to make business more quiet, while the
weather has been only fairly favorable. Cot
ton fabrics of the printcloth grade show a
firmer tone owing to the recent large i>ur
chasee of these cloths in Fall River. The ac
cumulated stock has been considerably re
duced and the outlook is stronger. The job
bing demand has ruled moderate for printed
fabrics, but the market is steady. Gingham*
are being ordered ahead for the spring trade
to some extent. Dress woolens are quiet, but
the market hclds steady. Spring orders placed
as yet have been moderate and the general
market continues unsatisfactory. Men's wear
woolens are quiet, with only moderate re
orders for spring noted.— Bradstreet's. Nov.

Woolen Goods — In a number of direc

reorders for spring weights of woolens and
worsteds for men., wear has beeu reported.
I: is. however, still remarked th»t neither
wholesale clothiers a«r cloth jobbers ars
buying in quantity, snd the increase Is not
sufficient to impart any greater strength than
before to the general situation. The bulk of
the demand has been for medium grades of
Plain fabrics in which both serges and clav 9

Iron and Steel— Last week the steel rail
compact for sale of all products through a
single agency, when all ready for final sig
natures, was broken by the withdrawal of
the largest Pittsburg interest. Heavy con
tracts were made by Western concerns in
the East at concessions. Then a new sort of
ngreement waa reported as having been com
pleted, with the personal aniipathies of strong
parties abolished in a day. This new accord
is said to rest on soma thing much finer
than a gross and material contract, and. aa
nobody comprehends what Its nature may ba,
the public is surprised and also incredulous.
An enormous tonnage for 1899 ls assured.
But if the big makers begin fighting for It
their profits wiil r.ot be hsavy. It Is signifi
cant that the market for Bessemer pig turns
upwaid with pales at $9.60, Valley works,
and Grey Forga is stronger at Pittsburg,
while scarcity of vessels and dictation of a
shipping syndicate Interrupts enormous trans,
actioes for export which exceeded in nine
months 600,000 tons of all iron products, and
for the year were expected to reach 850,000.
BllMa are also ln heavy demand at Pitts
burg,.,^^ being quoted, and sheet bars at
$16. Chicago worka are further behind in
plata contracts, one new order covering l.oiX)
tons for ship yards. Philadelphia is full, and
Pittsburg bids for the 75,000 tons required
in the Coolgardic operation are affected by
the freight syndicate. Structural work is
good everywhere, although orders are small.
The Edgar Thompson works start with three
or four months' orders for rails, and the de
mand for bars Is much better at Pittsburg,
especially for car building, in whi< h Cue
works are crowded for a long time to <o_ue.
Black sheets are in bettor demand al Chi
cago, but Mt better at Pittsburg, and less
at Philadelphia, although the woi Its aro still
fully employed.— Dun's Review, Nov. 26.
