The joint session of the peace commissioners today lasted two hours. Tbe Spaniards refused the proposals made by tbe Americans on Monday lasr, but negotiations were not broken off. While it is believed ou formal counter propo ition was made, there was a brief discussion of the Pbilippiue question outside tbe lines of tbe American propositions. Tbe commissioners then adjourned until Tuesday next. Tbe statemeat is p inted herd today with much prominence that tbe Americans will iusist upon tbe im mediate aud complete surrender of Spain's sovereignty over tbe Pbilip- piues, and in tbe event of the Spanish cummiesiouers refusing to agree to ibis, Jude Dy, acting under instruc tions from Washington, will present an u.t.mu'jm to the Spaniards. It is further aliened tuat this seeming haste is due to a desire to settle tbe negotia tions before the elections in the United States takes place. Gaulois today says it baa been in formed on absolutely reliable authority that Spain will ref'ise to discuss the unconditional surrender of the Puilip pines. The Fronde says: "The claims of tbe Uuited States on tbe Pbilippiues are looked upon with disfavor at St. Petersburg. The powers might, in case of tne Americaus proving too ob stinate on this point, be provoked to protest. MUST STKICTUH HEMP. The Alnrderers of dohn Liua Are Both fooiid UnUiy. Eugene, Or., Nov. 4.

A remi official not issued this evening sayx tbe govern ment has resolved not to retain the Marcband mission at ETashoda, adding that thi9 decision was arrived at by the cabinet after an exhaustive exam ination of the question. LONDON, Nov. 4.Tue most reliable Information from Paris confirms the earlier reports that M. Dupuy, tbe pre mier, has decided to wash his bands of Fashoda and to; recall Major March- i aud, for whose mission he is not res ponsible. This decision is, -to some extent, due to a de-ire to allow nothing to interfere with the success of the expo sition of 1900. Today will be import ant in the history of the crisis. It is expected that Baron de Courcel, the French ambassador, will impart the French decision to Lord Salisbury, who will speak this evening at the banquet to be given the sirdar, Gen eral Lord Kitchener. ' CUB INS ON A STRIKE. General Wood Will Place Tbem Under Arrevt For Vagrancy. Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 4. The Cubans, who have been employed in cleaning and repairing the streets of Santiago, have struck for higher pay, though they have bee" - receiving a dollar a day, or 50 cents and two ra tions, which is higher wages than have ever before been paid for similar work. In fact, tbe local employers of labor have been comolaininf? of this bigh rate, alleging that it was quite impos sible for them to compete with the government on such term. The Cu ban laborer, at tbe best, are lazy and slipshod. They want an increase of 50 .wnrs a day. General Leonard Wood absolutely refuses to aicede to the demand, and will dopt heroic measures, if the strike Is not promptly declared off. The trouble i's that many of the stri kers have rations enough on hand to last a month or morf,, and they think they can coerce tha United States au thorities.

They object to the Government Given Them by the Americans. New York. Nov. 4. General Roj StO'if, who bas just returned from Porto Rico says: "The people of Porto Rico are not at all satisfied with American rule There i? a growing difference between the natives and the militia which it- greatly to be regretted. When the army of occupation first invaded the island, tbe natives received the Amer icans cordially, and they wished to be treated as people of tnis country aad not as a conquered province. The treat ment thev have received at our hands bas been just the opposite. This has produced a chill. "What the Porto Ricans want is to betaken in as part of the United Stites. They do not expect to enter the Union as a state, but as a people in training to be advanced to statehood. In addi tion to this, they want free trade with the United States, and there is no reason that I can see why they should not have it. At present they are forced to pay duty on all imported goods, Spanish goods incldded, which were free before." CA1LED DOWN GENERAL PEREZ. Commander Wood Refused to Permit Execution of a Cuban. Santiago DeC'tjba, Nov. 6. An in cident has ocrured here which is cans ion much talk among the Cubans and may create ill-feeling. Tbe Cuban general, Perez, who bas ahalfadoz en times announced his intention to disband tbe troops under bis com mand, but bas not yet done so, recent ly ordered the trial by court martial of one of his men on a charge of desert ing from tbe armv io time of war. The prieoner was condemned to death but berore the death sentence was exe cuted, notification was tent to Colonel Rny of the Third immune regiment, who laid tbe matter before General Wood, commander of' tbe military de partment of Santiago. Perez was in formed that if the man was executed that tie and tbe firing party would he hanged as soon as the courts could le gaily sentence them.' AN UNKNOWN suicide.

The new stamp mills which the Tread well and allied companies have been erecting on Douglas island, Alaska, are completed, and affer being tested will be turned over to tbe companies by the engin eers now in charge. These mills give Douglas island a total of 880 stamps, with a capacity for crushing 2500 tons of ore daily.

Fouts, at the Gambri nua saloon, The Dalles WORSE THAN AMERICAN SHOT The Maria Teresa Could Not Brave a Storm. Washington, Nov. 6 The cruiser Infauta Maria Teresa, the captured Spanish warship raised off Santiago coast, foundered at sea off San Salva dor, Bahamis, at Midnight Tuesday during a terrible storm. Every man of her crew was rescued by the tugs which put in here today. The vessel was unable to withstand the t train of the wind and waves, her seams opened, she filled and sank in water thousands of fathoms deep. The report of Lieutenant Com mander Harris to the secretary of the navy gives an account of the sinking of the vessel. It wa9 found on November 1st that tbe Ohio had been badly strained by the heavy seas, and was taking water rapidly. Pumps were put to work, but could gain no head way on tbe water, and it was soon evident that the ship must go to tbe bottom of the sea. When this was discovered, every energy was put forth to get everything movable 'off tbe doomed cruiser, and so effective was the work that when the Teresa went down all the men and property bad been removed. LECTURE CS ON GREEU. German Newspapers Kspoose the Canse of Spain. Berlin, Nov. 6 The news that the United States now demands the whole of the Philippine islands has created much interest here. Tbe German newspapers comment unfavorably up on it. Tbe Cologne Gazette says: "The nterests of Germany will be especially injured by the American annexation. as tne policy of tne open door wnicn has hitherto reigned under tbe Span sh flag will be quickly ended. More over, tne American aetoana irom a humane point of view is unheard of. It means the squeezing of a fallen foe to the last drop of blood, and would sully the name of the victor. The whole symDatbies of the world would be on tbe side of Spain, brutally ground down by ber enemy." National Zejting points out that the Philippine islands would in American hands, . become not only of immense commercial, but of - paramount im portance, -'which all tbe powers that have become interested in the far east are bound to seriously coueider." Therefore, the National. Zeitnng thinks some power may oppose the change of ownership. . The Vossische Zeitung lectures the United Staus for its alleged greed and tbe Deutsche Zeitung describes the United States' demands as an unfortu nate piece of characteristic "Yankee mpudence, and calls upon Europe to put its foot down while there is ytt time. WALLACE MINING CO. 8TJKD. . Half Doaen Attachments on Black Clond Mine and Mill. Wallace, Idaho. Nov. 6. Half a dozen attachments were filed against the Wallace Mining Company today, and others are being prepared. Tbe company is the- owner of the Black Cloud and Iowa lodes and millsites and the Black Cloud concentrator, situated on Nine Mile and two miles north of Wallace. Tbe stock is all held east, mostly by New York men, being re presented here by an agent. The con centrator, wa9 built last summer but when it started up tbe ere was two lean to pay for milling. Since then work has progressed on a lower tunnel in the hope that when it cut the lead tbe ore would be better. There was lots of good ore in the upper workings, but it was mostly carbonate and the loss in milling was too great. MAX CACSt MORE TROUBLE. American Troops May Have to Fight Philippine Innrg-euts. New YORK, Nov. 7. A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Major Simpson,, of General Merritt's staff bas just returned 'from Manila, and though personally he does not seem to fear "serious trouble with the forces of Aguinaldo. he says thpre is a distinct sentiment among he United States troops that there may be more trouble and that more troops may be eeded. Aguinaldo's force is reckoned at bout 30,000. and Major Simnson freely admits that tbe rebels are in control of the island of Luzon. Tbe recent attack on Tloiio by tbe forces of Aguinaldo recalled to Major Simpson tbe fact that Aguinaldo bad some transports, and that about 500 of the Luzon troops bad been carried to the island of Panay.' On the island of Mindanao, the situation is not under stood, as the inhabitants are mostly Mohammedans. Little or no investi gation of the situation tbere has been made by our army. Back in the hills of Luzon many -tribes, are almost un civilized, and have never felt tbe force of either the insurgents or Spaniards. WRECKED BY EXPLOSION OF GAS. United States Supreme Courtroom Badly Demoll-hed. Washington, Nov. 7. Vn explo sion of gas and fire at 5:15 yesterday afternoon, wrecked thf supreme court room and tbe rooms immediately ad joining io on tbe main Door of the caoitol. The entire central-eastern part of tbe great mirble pile, from the main floor to the subterranean base ment, practically is .a mass of ruins. The force of tbe explosion, was 'so heavy that the copping' stooes'on tbe outer walls, just east of the point where the explosion occurred, were bulged ont nearly two inches, and locked doors were forced from their binges quite 150 feet from the scene of it. Fire followed the explosion so quickly as to seem practically simul taneously with. it. The explosion shook the immense structure to its foundations, and was heard several squares from the capi- tol. It occurred in a small room tight Iv inclosed bv heavy stone walls in Mietsuoterraneao basement, immedl ataly below the main .entrance to the old capitol building.- In tbis room was a 500-iight gas meter, which was fed bv a four-inch main. Very little gas was used io tbis part of tbe build ing, but at tbe tim-J of the explosion the gas bad not beeoturned off at the meter. The meter itself was wrecked and the gas pouring from the main caught fire. Fire In the Snow sheds. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 7. Travel on the Central Pacific railroad bas been delayed about 24 hours by fire in the snowsbeds at the tunnel between Summit and. Tru'-kee- Much damage was done befce the. flames" were sub- ciuea. NOBTUWKT NOTES. In 1896 there were sbinped from the Ashland depot about 70.000 boxes of peaches which netted tbe growers ap proximately $21,000, but for this year tbe number of boxes shipped was 60,000 while the net pric was $28,000. The profits, of course, were much better than tbey were last year. The mining outlook for the state of Oregon is generally acknowledged to be excellent. Tbe pat year a great number of miningexperts have looked over the various mining districts and invariably nbese men report that they have been agreeably surprised at the magniScent showings the developed mines are making. Aside from the gold districts there is in Southern Oregon some excellent copper pros pects, that so far as indications on the surface go ouly need the right kind of men with money to open tbem up. The section referred to is an ideal one for mining. Timber and water are in abundance, and with a few miles of railroad the copper . could be marketed very cheaply. Western Mining World. 110 new members were recently ad ' mitted into the grange at Oorvallis in one day, which is said to break the record in tbe United States.

A Grand Free Pryotechnle Display la loe . this Month. The advance guard of. tbe great November meteor swarm is due tbis month, and on tbe nights of 13tb, 14th and 15th astronomers i all parts of the earth will be awake on the look out. Tbey will be both surprised and disappointed if a meteoric spectacle, which may be a brilliant one, is not beheld by some of the watchers. The main swarm of tbe meteors is not due until November, 1899, but their ad vancing columns, broken into paral lels and separated by considerable gaps, occupy so much space on the celestial highways they traverse that millions of tbe mysterious little bodies must already have reached tbe neigh borhood of the earth's orbit, and it can hardly happen that many of these will not become entangled by the ter restrial attraction, and dart their fiery spears through the upper air. Tbe reader may lik tobe reminded that this, tbe greatest known "meteor shower," ' has a period of 331 years; that thb history of these meteors has been traced back '" to the year A. D. 125, when the planet Uranus is be lieved to have captured tbe wander ers ard turned them into a permanent orbit around the sun; that a comet (Tempel'p) is known to be traveling in the same orbit with them, and that the world was astonished at the mag nificence of tbe displays which they made in 1833 and 1866. Tbe point In tbe heavens from which the meteors appear to radiate is titu ated within the curved blade of the imaginary "sickle" which, marks the constellation 'Leo. This is not well risen until midnight, but late in tbe evening meteors radiating from it may be seen shooting upward from the northeastern '. horizon. Observers are advised to begin watching for tbem about 11 p. rn., on November 11, keeping up tbe watch for five nights altogether and continuing it until the morning- twilights begin. Fortun ately, there will be no trouble from the moon, which is "new" on the 3th. A Noble Life Ended. Mrs. Alice Errhart, wife of Joseph Err hart, died at Good Samr.ritan hospi tal Portland last Sunday, aged 44 years. Deceased had been a resident of Tbe Dalles for about 16 yearss and had won the love and esteem of all with whom she become acquainted. She was born in Placer county.

Fjr many years she had been a member of tbe Baptist church and had led a consist ent Christian life. Tbe funeral will take place from the Me-bodist churcb.

Ia addition to the Wilders, Miss Michel) bas kindly consented to sing two solos on the evening of their entertainment. SPANISH PROTEST IGNORED Ameriea Will Hold the Philippine Islands. New York, Nov. 7. A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Spain's exhaustive argument against the cession of tbe Poilippines to the United Slates has bad tbe result of making tbe officials all the more de termined to take tbe islands. In structioos sent t Mr. Day chairman of tne American commission will re quire him aud his colleagues to renew Thursday- their demand for cession of tbe group to the United States, and they will make in their communica tion the first offer of money in pay ment for tbe islands. It is understood that the president will consult tomorrow with some of his advisers concerning tbe amount to be named in the American communi cation, but the sum to be paid will not under any consideration exceed tbe aggregate of tbe debts contracted by the Spanish government for improve ments in tbe Philippine. All mili tary debts, and debts contracted in the name of other, islands, such as Cuba, will be barred, and the Spanish commissioners will be informed that they must recognize this fact as soon as possible. Secretary Hay received a full state ment of the context of the Spanish note. Its character was just what tbe officials expected, without any argu ments of importance. Senator Rios and his colleagues call attention to the action of the government in de livering a note through M. Cambon, the French arrbassador, to President McKinley, which set forth the under, standing of tbe Spanish government that in agreeing to the protocol its sovereignty ' over tbe Philippines would not be affected.

Truly could he tell of bis worth as a citizen, his love of home and family, and his devotion to tbe church. - At tbe conclusion of the sermon, tbe pall bearers, Messrs. J. Malooe. Don ald McRae, M. T. Nolan. Alex Mc Lellan, Al. Bettingen and H. J. Maier carried the casket from tbe church, while hundreds of beads were bowed in sorrow for tbe departed Mend and neighbor. At the grave an impressive prayer was offered for the dead, and the tomb was covered with heautiful cut flowers, offerings of affection that spoke louder than words of tha friendly ties that bound the dead to the living.
