No official an­ nouncement baa been made of the posi­ tion that the commissioners will take' in their negotiations with the Spanish commissioners, but there has been an almighty lot of gueesing, and it wrold be strange, indeed, if eome of the gueeeers did not come very near to the truth. One thing is known and that is that there is to be no general discussion of matters already regarded by this government as definitely settled by the protocol. The American commissioners will treat Spain as a conquered nation. The proposition of this government will be submitted to the Spanish commission­ ers, and it must be either accepted or rejected. If accepted, they will proceed at once to the negotiation ol the treat} ; if rejected, fighting Will be resumed, un lees this government sees fit to modify its proposition. The general itnpressior in Washington is that our propoeitioi will include the withdrawal of Spanish authority from the Philippine Islands but opinious differs as to the disposition it will propose to make of the islands, other than Luzon, which it is practically certain we shall keep. Some think an independent government, under our pro­ tection, will be proposed for the rest ol the island?; others, that we shall tak< the whole of them at once, and sti.l others that Spain may be allowed tr keep all except Luzon, if she will guaran­ tee them good government and grant us liberal trade concessions. But after al these are guesses. ' •Sill" Hi? K * fen y - 'if*: mr Butter on the Elgin Board of Trade on Monday was firm; offerings 1©4 tubs; sales, 144 tubs at 20c.

If those critics had been fol­ lowed the whole army would have been jtnad by this time. WA Parisian Journal claims for F^nce a steadfast friendship for the United States from the beginning to the close of the war with Spain. Technically this attitud ? of neutrality may not be gainsaid. Literally it wan not volun­ tary and did not long precede the open ing of hostility s. A London paper de monstrates that France initiated and Russia and Germany co-operated in aii undertaking to help Spain and humiliate the Inited States before the open rup­ ture occured. Great Britain was neces­ sary to this tour of force and Great Britain's vigorous negative was the di rect inspiration of Messrs. Balfour, Pan- ncefote and Chamberlain. So that France can without violation of the let ter of verity advance claim of non-inter­ ference during the conflict.

Upon the issne of this battle de- Upended the control of the great and • the dominion of the vast territory in the ^northwest. Perry flaunted the lest words of Lawrence, "Don't give up the fihip," from the main royal masthead in ; the face of a confident enemy, and there ;: are few pages in history which tell c (Btory like that of Perry's victory Greater bravery and herdism than that exhibited by Perry and his men cannot be imagined. 9 * A peculiar history has just come to light in regard to a letter which was mailed in Australia nine years ago and has been traveling about the world in mail bags ever since. It was posted b3 ^ Jefferson Rheines and addressed to his , wife in Virginia, but she had left there and the letter was returned'lo the writer, Rheines was dead and the letter was again sent to this country; it has since crossed both oceans and passed through the jost-offices of the leading cities. The letter contained the last will of her hue band and bequeathed to his wife and children the Bum of $120,000.

The Chicago'and Northwestern railroad has taken action which does not verify the oft-quoted expression that "corpora­ tions haye no souls." It evinces patriot­ ism and philanthropy beyond that ol the average individual, at least. The following order to all conductors and agents of the railroad was issued Thurs­ day last by General Manager Whitman: You are instructed that special care and attention are to be given to the comfort and welfare of returning soldiers of the United States army en route from the camps to their homes, either on furlough or final discbarge, while upon the trains or at the stations of this company. You will be dilhgent in ascertaining if any such are in need of food, and more par­ ticularly if they are ill and need medicines or medical care and attendance; and if satisfied of their identity, either by the uniform or the exhibition of the proper papers evidencing their discharge or fur­ lough, you will see that their needs are sppplied and all possible ca: c and assist­ ance rendered to them . while u pon the company's lines. Report should be made to division superintendent in each case where assistance has been rendered with the name of the soldier and the or­ ganization to which he belopgs. These reports, as received, will be forwardbd by division superintendents to the general manager. "These instructions apply more espe­ cially to soldiers traveling singly or in small parties, it being assumed that where regiments or companies are return­ ing in charge of their officers, the latter will look after the welfare of their men; but in all cases every assistance in youv power to render for their comfort should be given." have provided both. - Never during our time here, which is 1H years, have we offered for sale such a large, complete and well selected stock of Suits and Overcoats in Men's, Boys' and Children's as we have placed on our counters this fall In making your selec­ tion out of a stock so large, clean and new, you are sure to find styles and patterns you could not find elsewhere.
