SAID NO TO THE
REQUEST OF SPAIN
One More Spanish Repst NegatM by
tie Unite! States.
THE SESSION OF
MUCH IMPORTANCE
Ships and Products of Spain Will Not
Be Granted the Same Rights as
Those of the United States Trea
ty Will be Signed in Three or Four
Days at the Outside.
Paris, Dec. 6. The joint peacs com
mission met at 2 p. m., and are still sit
ting as this message is sent.
It has developed that yesterday's ses
sion was of far greater importance than
was at first generally Buppoeed. It re
salted in the Americans uncompromis
ingly rejecting Spain's request that for a
term of years the ehipB of that country
and its products be admitted to Cuba
and Porto Rico ports under the same
regulations and tariffs as American
ships and products. The Spanish com
mission for Borne days had been playing
for this.
The Americans were anxious for de
cision on the question of a coaling sta
tion in the Caroline islands, religious j
tolerance in the Carolines and release of
political prisoners. The Spaniards were
unwilling to answer theee points nntil
they heard what the Americans proposed
to do for their industries which had
been built up by the Cuban and Porto
Rican trade.
This is why Spain contends that the
articles of the treaty should be disposed
of in their order, while the Americans
wanted first to settle their pressing
needs. The session yesterday was prac
tically a fight on the order of procedure. ;
Finally the Americans yielded and then
the Spaniards proposed tho shipping
and commercial contentions which the
Americans rejected 'in its entirety. The !
session then adjourned, with neither
Bide in an especially amicable frame of
mind.
It is learned that there were differ
ences of opinion among the Americans
on the shipping question, and numer
ous telegrams were exchanged with
Washington. Finally the American
commission was instructed to refuse,
the principal reason being that Porto
Rico is about to be declared within the
coast limit of the United States, while
as regards Cuba, authorities at . Wash
ington would make no promises, as the
American occupation there is not fixed
and the future Cuban government will
make its own treaties. Exactly what
Spain requested was that her ships and
products should be accorded the same
privileges in Cuba and Porto Jtiico for
a period of ten years as bad been con
ceded to Spain in the Philippines.
When the commissioners emerged
from the foreign office this evening af
ter a long session, Judge Day announced
all requests bad been settled and that
the treaty would be signed in three or
four days.

Evidence Which is Right to the Point
and Reliable.
Judge Frank Ives of District Court of
Crookston, Minn., says: For some time
I have used Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
with seeming great benefit with few ex
ceptions, I have not been so free from
indigestion in twenty-five years. '
George W. Roosevelt, U. S. consul to
BruBsels, Belgium : Stuart'n Dyspepsia
Tablets, safe, pleasant to take, conven
ient to carry, give keen appetite, perfect
digestion.
Mr. W. D. Tomlin, mechanical engi
neer, Duluth, Minn. : Onebcx of Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets has done its
work, and I am again gaining flesh and
strength.
O. E. Ransom, Huston ville, Ky. : I
was distresaedand annoyed for two years
with throwing np food often two or
three times a day ; had no certainty of
retaining a meal if I ate one. Four boxes
of the tablets from my druggist have
fully cured me. I find them pleasant
to take, convenient to carry.
Rev. G. D. Brown, Mondovi, Wis. :
The effect of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
IB simply marvelous; a quite hearty din
ner of broiled beefsteak causes no distress
since I begun their use.
Over six thousand people in the state
of Michigan alone in 1894 were cured
of stomach troubles by Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets.
Full eized packages may be found at

FOR THE GOVERN
MENT OF HAWAII
President Transmits to Congress the
Report of the Special Commission.
Washington, Dec. 6. The president
today transmitted to congress the report
of the Hawaiian commission, together
with the text of bills drawn by the com
mission for government of the islands as
part of the United States. Three bills
are formulated for the consideration of
congress. The first and principal - one
outlines a general plan of government
and the other two deal with subordinate
questions.
The main bill provides for the forma
tion of the islands into a territory of the
United States, to be styled the terri
tory of Hawaii.. The bill contains
provisions for the government of the
territory, giving it legislative, executive
and judicial officers. A governor, sec-'
retary of the territory, United States
district judge, United States district at
torney and United States marshal are to
be appointed by the president and an
internal revenue district and a custom
district are created.
Probably the most important portion
of the bill is section 4, defining a citizen
ship, which provides : "All white per-'
sons, including Portuguese and persons
of African deecent, and all persons de
scending from the " Hawaiian race on
either paternal or maternal side who
were citizens of the republic "of Hawaii
immediately prior to the transfer of sov-'
ereignty thereof to the United States are
hereby declared citizens of the United
States.
Locomotive Struck Him.
Oakland, Cal., Dec. 6. Samuel P.
Flint, assistant superintendent of the
railway mail service, was struck by a lo
comotive at Fourteenth and Franklin
streets,- and received injuries which
prpved fatal. He had just returned
from Los Angeles and was on. his way
home across the track when the accident
occurred. He was thrown about fifteen
feet and his head was badly cut. He
lingered in much pain for several, hours
before he died. -
Mr. Flint had been long in the gov
ernment employ, and was well known
throughout the Pacific coast states.
Hold-Up in Tacoma.
Tacoma, Dec. . 6. Two bandits held
up the conductor and inotorman of an
East Side street-car at 8 :30 tonight. The
men entered the car together drawing
handkerchiefs over their faces at the
same time. The conductor and motor
man were compelled to turn their faces
away while their pockets were - rifled.
The section where the robbery occurred
is near the city limits, but not- three
blocks from a well lighted and thickly
settled section of the city.
SENATOR SIMON
STILL STANDS
No Vacant Seat Has Been Found For
Him on the Republican Side in
the Senate.
New York, Dec. 6. A special to tho
Herald from Washington :
When Joseph Simon, the new senator
from Oregon, was formally sworn into
office, he found that there was no seat
for him in the senate.
- After be had qualified, signed the roll
and received congratulations, be was
turned over to the eergeant-at-arme,
who was expected to provide him with a
desk and seat. The senatorship in Ore
gon has been vacant so long that in the
arrangements'' of seats no place was
made for Senator Simon on the Repub
Bide side of the chambers.
The new senator resented the sugges
tion that be sit on the Democratic Bide.
The Republican senators consulted and
it was suggested that Senato Butler, the
Populist from North Carolina, might be
willing to move over to the Democratic
side. The North Carolina man had
tried that side early in the day, and was
stung by a chance remark that in view
of the race tronbles in his stale he would
hereafter identify himself with the
Democratic party, so he refused to give
np hie present seat, and Senator Simon
is still unseated.
