. New York, Oct. 14. A special
the World from Paris says:
Senor Abarzusa, a member of the
Spanish peace commission, was inter
viewed by tbe World correspondent.
"Has tbe United States demanded
the whole Phllipine group?" was ask
ed.
"She has not, so far," replied Senor
Abarzusa, ''and will, I think, be con- j
tent with the Ladrones, . or part of
them, perhaps with Guam, which sbe
he 8 already taken, However, as to
that I ban only give my impression."
Has tbe United States displayed
great magnanimity in not ddmandfng
indemnity?"
''Cuba is indemnity, accord fog to
our view. The commissions will not
have to consider any question of money
indemnity."
"Is there no claim for the Maine?"
'That does not fall within the scope
of the commission."
"Is it true that a serious hitch has
arisen between tbe commissions and
that a break in negotiations is pos
sible?"
This rumor is a ridiculous) exagge
ration. No hitch has arisen. "
On what ground can Spain ask the
United States to assume the Cuban
debt?"
"Cuba is the key to the Gulf of Mexi
co and has lonu been necessary to tha
United States. For that reason alone
she might take upon herself tbe Cuban
debt. ' When the United States eets
Cuba she will instantly secure control
of the customs, which will enable her
to effect a conversion of the debt and
reduce tbe interest from 6 to 2 per
cent." '
You imply that Spain's reii nquish-
tnent of soverijjnty means American
annexation, pot Cuban independence V'
Certainly; our relinquishment means
the transfer of sovereignty over Cuba
to America, with all its rights, there
fore also its obligations."
Does thatamply equally to the Phil
ippines and theirdebt?", -
''No; that case is absolutly opposite.

to face his constituents. Others talked
in the same vein and all wanted the
matter deferred until the regular ses1
sion. McU'Jlloch said he did not
beiieve in rewarding tbe hoM-up leg
isiators, wiio thouu their failure to
organize and legislate cost the state
about $100,000 in interest alone.
Curtis and Flagg pointed out that
although provision was made for
allowing tbe members of this abortive
legislature full time, the secretary of
state was not obliged to issue them
warrants for over five days service in
compliance with the law. Moreover
they figured out that if the general
appropriation bill was defeated at tnis
session it would cost the ctate about
$32,000 mora in interest up to the next
session. This argument was unan
swerable, and carried the day.

The Appropriation Bill Causes Delay
Adjournment.
Salem, Oct. 15. The special sesaion
will not adjourn until 12 o'Mocck to
night, owing to the non-concurrence
of the bouse to the amendment made
in tbe senate to the eeneral appro
priation bill. The senate labored un
til 11 o'clock lust night on this bill,
and struok out the appropriation to
pay tbe per diem of the members of
the house for tbe session of 1897,
When the bill was returned to the
house this morning that body refused
to concur in the charges made by the
senate, especially objecting to the
appropriation for a normal school at
Ashland.
During the session over 100 clerks
have been employed at salaries rang
ing from $3 to $5, making their pay
considerable er9ater than that of the
members.
A resolut'oa has been adopted rec
ommending the retention of thepres

Already the state house begins to

Eight War Vessels Added to
Our Navy.
New York. o.-t. n. A dispatch
to the Tribune from Washington says
The effective strength of the United
S'ates' navy has been increased by
eight useful vessels which recently
flew the Spanish flag. Five of these
a-e row attached to Admiral Dewey's
squadron, two are credited to the
North Atlantic station, and the last Is
tbe Infanta Maria Teresa, now under
her own steam, preparing to start for
Norfolk to be made ready for active
service.
Several days ago the navy depart
ment, which is now making up its list
of vessels in service, which is a cus
tomary exhibit in the secretary's an
nual report to congress, sent a mess
age to Admiral Dewey for an accurate
list of the prizes he was now utilizing
in his fleet. Tbe questions show what
latitude the department allows to the
admiral, and the answer tells how un
hesiiatinely he has acted for the pood
of the service, and to strengthen his
own forces without waiting for help
from borne. He replied:
The following former Spanish vessels
are in my possession: Manila (cruiser)
commissioned July 21, Lieutenant
Commander Fredrick Singler; Callao

Salem, Oct. 14. The passage of the
general appropriation bill by the
house was the feature of the legislative
proceedings yesterday, though it did
not come up in that branch till the
middle of the afternoon. It was con
sidered more than an hour in com
mittee of the whole, where S7540 70
was added to it, the chief addition
being $7000 to gie full pay to tbe
members of the bouse that failed to
organize in 1897. Tne committee had
allowed only the pay for five days, as
provided by the constitution. The
specific appropriation of $4i,000 for in
terest was eliminated by the com
mittee before the matter came up be
fore the house. The total sum of the
bill as passed is $1,296,284 14.'
Those who objected to the passage
of the bill and cast a negative vote
when it came up for final passage were
Butt, Conn, Blackaby. Cummings,
Fordney, Hawson, Grege, Hall, Lewis.

Disposal of Alabama Negro Winers a Mr
loos Problem.
St. Louis, Oct, 17. The 57 Alabama
negroes who were sent to St, Louis
from Springfield, after the miuers at
Virden had refused to allow tiem to
remanin at Virden, are quartered in
the jail here. They spent Sunday in
Breaching and religious exhortations,
and are more than anxious to get back
to Alabama. It is said that while
Mayor Zeigelheim might wish to send
the blacks to Alabama, such action
would make the city of St. Louis
liable for damages to tbe Cbicago-Vir-
den Coal Company, who brought them
north at heavy expense. It seems
now that they will be sent back to
Illinois, where Governor Tanner can
make what disposition he pleases of
them. To send them -to Alabama is
not withia tbe province of tbe St.
Louis authorities who had no connec
tion with the trouble at Virden.

There was a previous issue of Cuban

fund the Cuban floating deb and to
exchange for these the6 per cent ob-

redeemable in 20 years. Most of them
were converted into bonds of 186, and
those not converted were paid off.

Steel and Wire Company.
CLEVELAND, O.. Oct.. 18. Judge
Hammond, of the United States cir
cuit court, granted the. application
made by the American Steel & Wire
Company for an injunction against
the striking wiredrawers today. The
injunction is a blanket one and applies
to all the defendants named in the
petitioh and to any others who may
hereafter interfere with the employes'
of the company. It restrains tbe
strikers from in any manner interfer
ing with the operation of the com
plainant's mill and. from molesting or
ntimidatiner or threatening those de
siring to work at the mills, and from
congregating near the mill or houses
of the employes for the purpose of in

last night after being driven oat of
Virden, 111., are being cared for by the
city temporarily.
A telegram was received late this
afternoon from the Chicago-Virden
Coal Co., at Virden Illinois., telling
their agent to keep the negro miners
here, the coal company to pay the ex
penses. Tbe telegram . said that ' the
nsgroes. would be kept' in St. Louis
until protection, for them at Virden
could be had and that they would then

Falmouth, Oct. 16. The British
steamer Mohegan, Captain Griffiths,
belonging to the Atlantic Transport
Companj. has been wrecked in tbe
vicinity of Lizard, between the Mana
flas and the Lowlands. It is believed
aoout iw persons ot tne passengers
and crew were drowned.
The Mobegan left for New York
Thursday, having on board as far as
ascertained at present 59 passengers
and a crew of 115. When th cteanier
was seen in diatress lifeboats went out
from the shore and every effort was
made to save th6 passengers. The
coast at this point is extremely danger
ous and has been tbe scene of numer
ous wrecks. The general opinion is
the machinery of the Mohegan be
came disabled during f heavy eastern
gale, which was blowing, aud tbat she
ran ashore and foundered.
From the best evidence obtainable
at St. Kererine it appears the Mohe
gan foundered five minutes after she
struck the rocks. She was going at
full speed, struck twice, stopped and
rapidly settled into the water. As the
captain and the executive ofleers went
down with her it has been impossible
thus far to ascertain how she got out
of her course, as Falmouth light and
the coast were visible.

Foiled at Their Game.
Yesterday forenoon Harry Gilpin
waa coming into town wltb a load of
wbeat, and wben be arrived at tbe
cross roads beyond Three Mile he met
two nioely dressed men in a baggy.
Tbey asked Mr. Gilpin to stop aDd
take some advertising bills th y de
sired circulated for a New York firm.
While talking to him one of them
climbed into his wagon, . displaying
two tin boxes, one of wbicb contained
a number of sold watches and the
other S65 in . bills. He invited Mr.
Gilpin to pay him $5 for a chance in a
drawing that was a sure winne, the
holder of the ticket being certain to
draw a watch or the $65. The game
bad no charms for Mr. Gilpin how
ever and he told them tbey might
move on.
This pair is evidently a brace of con
fidence men who are traveling through
the country seeking to swindle whom
ever tbey can. The people through
out the country are advised to look out
for them. .
