A FATHER'S TERRIBLE) CRIME,
A Settled Faot "That the Is
lands Will Be Taken.
'NOT ONE BUT ALL OF THEM
Debt Alar Be Aumed It Hpala Re
fuse, Hosttlitlea Will Ba Reamed
' and We Will Selxe the Archipelago.
Paris, Nov. 1. While the Spanish
and American peace commissioners
mow stand on the threshold of the
Philippine question, it seema probable,
in the light of this hour, that the
United States will take over the en
tire archipelago.
During the out days just passed,
those in touch' with, though possibly
cot in the confidence of the commis
sioners have felt the concentration of
tendencies toward the standpoint in
dicated as likely to be occupied by the
United States commissioners at Tues
day's session of the two commissions.
In 1897 Spain issued, by royal decree.
bonds in -the sum of (40,000,000, to
which were pledged the revenues of the
Philippines, and to whioh the Spanish
national guarantee was added. From
these $40,000,000 of obligations, Spain
realized 136,000,000 in cash. These
$40,000,000 represent the Philippine
-debt, whioh ia entirely outside of the
-f500,000,000 of the so-called Philippine
and Spanish debt.
The conditions also differ, the Philip
pine debt having been created by royal
-decree because the arohipelago was not
a parliamentary colony, while the so
oalled Cuban debt was created by law.
The difference raises the question of
the non-responsibility of the Philip
pines when removed from the sovereign
ty under whioh its resouroea were
pledged.
Should the United States absorb the
.Philippines, none but officials yet know
whether they will assume a part or all
of this debt, or more than the Philip
pine debt. The Americans have do-
' -dined to assume 'the Cuban debt be'
cause Cuba is not (heirs; but in depos
ing Spain in the Philippines, the Ainer
loans acquire the territory, and It hi
believed there will be noma financial
nssuniption by the United States.
At this point arises the question of
how much financial relief might com
-pensate Spain for her loss of the Phil
ippines. Some well-informed persons
believe that Premier Bagasta has deter
mined to be rid of the Philiplnes, and
would direct his commission to sign a
treaty by whioh the United States
ebon Id take the islands and assume
' $40,000,000 of debt. This proposition
finds support in the Parisian press,
which today declares that resistance is
impossible, and that Spain should
abandon the arohlpelago.
Murdered HI Child by Flaring: It Be
fore a Railroad Truin.
New York, Nov. 1. Nicholas Jack-
ton, of Rackensack, who was sent to
Trbnton prison to serve 10 years for
causing the death of his 6-year-old son
Louis, confessed to Sheriff Herring and
Deputy Sheriff Jackson, while they
were on their way to Trenton from
Haokensack with the prisoner. On
this information, Mrs. Jackson is 'held
as an accessory to the murder of her
stepson. Here are Jackson's words to
the sheriff:
"My wife, whom I had only recently
married, did not like Louis, my little
boy, and we had many quarrels about
him She helped me plan the murder,
and I was to put the boy on the tracks.
I went to Tea Neck and stood , near the
West Shore railroad track. I was
afraid to put the youugstei on the track
alive, for fear he would get off, so I
struok him in the stomach with an
iron bolt, and that made him uncon
scious. Then I put him on the track,
just below the orossing, and waited for
a train to come along. When I was
convinced that he was dead I went
home. I fixed up the story about my
leaving the boy asleep on the hill near
the tracks, to save my life. The judge
tried me and found me guilty of. man
slaughter, thinking that Louis walked
on the traokfand was struck by a train
I got off dead easy."
Prosecutor Stagg will go to Trenton
this week and make arrangements, to
have Jackson appear before the next
grand jury to testify as to Mrs. Jaot
eon's connection with the plan of the
murder.

WILLIAM IN JERUSALEM.
Spain Will Reaiat.
Paris, Nov. 1. There was a strong
impression, which has been growing
here recently, that the Spanish, upon
receiving definite assurances of the
.American determination to take the
entire Philippine group, would quit
the conference, hut this view waa modi
fled by the attitude of the Spanish
.newspapers whioh arrived here today
These are found to have wheeled- into
line with the Epoca of October 87,
wbioh demanded that the Spanish
.commissioners should sign a treaty in
Paris, no matter how oneroua , the con
dltions imposed by the Americana.
Nevertheless, despite this attitude
of the Madrid press, and, despite the
statement given Friday last to tha press
oorrespondentt by the Spanish commis
sioner, who denied that the Spaniards
had any intention of withdrawing, the
Americans here will not be surprised
if one or more of the Spanish com mis
sioners resign and praotioAlly close the
negotiations. This feeling ii based
upon the faot that Senor Bios early last
week would have resigned, if bis so
doing would not have imperiled the
Sagasta ministry; and the reasoning ia
that, if, while pressing the Cuban debt,
whioh is not mentioned in the protocol.
.Senor Bios waa inclined to resign, he
.might, in the open field of contention
.as to the Philippines, feel that resigns
tions would help Senor SagaBta, on the
ground that the demand of the United
States for the entire Philippine group
would be extortionate.
It is believed here tonight, on the
eve of taking up the main question,
that the Spanish commissioners are not
likely to acquiesce here in any treat
that the Americans would sign.
Core for Hog Cholera.
Washington, Oct 81. During the

of the bureau of animal industry, and
the results were eminently satisfactory,
proving that the disease oan be success
fully treated, easily and inexpensively.
This year the experiments have been
extnesive and far-reaching. The
bureau treated 938 hogs. Of these, 170
-died, the number saved being gl out of

Work of the Construction Bureau Dar
ing the War. .
Washington, Oct. 81. A large part
of the burden of equipping the United
States navy for the war with Spain fell
upon the construction bureau of the
navy. In his annual report, Commo
dore Hitchborn, the chief constructor,
furnishes many interesting details as
to this work, involving the transform
tion of more than 100 merchant ciaft
into effective naval vessels at short
notice. Looking to the future, the
chief constructor invites attention to
the importance of properly equippin,
and maintaining plants at or near nava
stations along the coast already estab
lished and be submits estimates for the
purpose, averaging about $25,000 ia
each case.
Besides the long list of vessels pur
chased by the government lor use as
auxiliary cruisers, the report says that
10 vessels were accepted by the govern
ment from builders during the last
fiscal year. These were the Iowa, Hel
ena, Nashville, Wilmington, Annapolis,
Marietta, Newport, Vicksburg, Foot)
and Wheeling.
Progress made on the vessels in course
of construction has been very satisfac
tory.
Tbe behavior of all classes of our
naval vessels throughout the various
conditions of the war is set down as
source of gratification to the construo
tion bureau, where the greater part of
them were designed.
Tbe chief constructor pays a trlbuts
to the indefatigable labors of the con
struction corps duiing the war and ex
presses the opinion that the increase in
its personnel has hardly been as rapid
as the demand upon iti services,
Therefore, it is urged that the bureau
