Monetary Differences Only. Text of tlie Proctocol Now Made Public the First Time, Washington, Nov. 5*-The reports the State department has received from the peace commission io Paris indicate that that body has proceeded ID exactly the Hoe anticipated, con? sequently the action of yesterday was not a disappointment. It was folly expected that the Spanish com? missioners would endeaver to make better terms than those offesed by the American commissioners It was not expected that they would close at once with the American proposition While they have not in exact terms submitted a counter proposition tue Spaniards, by en? tering upon the argument of the American proposition, have shown a disposition to negotiate relative to the Philippines that has shown to be erroneous the prediction that they * would indignantly spurn any propo sition that contemplated a relinquish? ment of Spanish soverignty over the Archipelago. It ie quite probable the way is now open to a compro? mise between the two sides, and that a monetary difference wilt be found to be the only one of substance This, it is believed, is represented by the difference between about ' $40,000,000, probably the maximum allowance which the United Slates will be willing to pay Spain for the improvements in the Ppiiipoines ?nd $200.000,000 which represents about a minimum of the Spanish claim for compensation on account .of the cession of the entire group. The State department for the first time made public a copy of the pro? tocol between the United States and Spain for the preliminary settle? ment of the war The protocol is as follows : Protocol of agreement, between the United States and Spain Embodying the terms of a basis for the establishment of peace between the two countries : Signed at Washington, Aug. 12 1898.

On several occasions the public school children of Atlanta have been apb ed to contribute to various funds The objects for which these contri? butions were asked were all good, but we think the time has come to protest against this method of raising money for any cause The superintendent of public in? struction of New York State recently condemned this practice without qualification, and his action has re ceived the hearty approval of the New York press. lu several cities of the west the boards of education have forbidden collections in public schools and we hope to see them prohibited every where. We commend every word of the following extract from an edi? torial in the Chicago Chronicle on this subject : '.As was recently remarked in these columns, it is not enough to say that these school contributions are voluntary So tb ey are in a cer tain sense, but in a very important sens? they are not. The poor parent can refuse to contribute, and he might do so if the appeal were made directly to him. But he can hardly bring himself to permit his child to be p'aced in the position of refusing - "He may, in fact, be disinclined to give because he conscientiously dis approves of the practice of levyiDg contributions, but he does not wish to throw upon his child the task of explaining He knows how it is with children-what little aristocrats i they often are, or plutocrats, perhaps, it should be saia-and be does not care to have his child humiliated among his fellows Nor does he care to send a written explanation, which is unlikely ever to come to the knwl edge of the school and which in any case most likely would be miscon? strued. And so he gives when he ought not, either because he is una? ble or because his conscience disap? proves. "Toas this solicitation of contribu? tions becomes a cruel wrong-a mode of extortion from the poor, a mode of inflicting bitter and undeserved humiliation and hardships upon the children of the poor. "This ought to be obvious enough to the commonest understanding Yet the astounding statemnnt bas jost appeared in one of our dailies that collections of money are at last popularly encouraged. Teachers are allowed-yes, urged-to make collec tions for flowers for the fallen heroes, lectures for the literarv, libraries for the bookless, maps for class rooms and no telling what all. "If this is true the state of things described is simply monstrous The practice should be stopped ; stopped instantly, stopped wholly " The Atlanta board of eduction should speak out at once an this sub? ject It is better to adopt a rule against it now than to wait until an? other school collection is proposed and then forbid it The role should be positive and there should be no exceptions in its enforcement, no matter to what cause the school children may be asked to contribute The Pooling Decision. From the Milwaukee Sentinel. Presumably the raliway managers will seek a way to evade the rule laid down by tbe court, but under the con? clusion that the semi-paoiic character I of the businec?. makes it jastly subject to government regulation, the escape wiil not be found iu consolidation of lines which bas bees so orren predicted. Meanwhile ic will be proper for the professional agitators to make a mern orandam of this ca?e in which the courts failed to decide in favor of the great cooibinati)ns of capital when large in? terests were at ??rake, 41 Where ever the soldiers go,;' says the Philadelphia Record, ty? phoid fever appears to follow like a shadow of doom. Typhoid kills ten victims wbere yellow fever does one ; but we have become so accus? tomed to its ravage, and to the un sanitary conditions which promote its spread, that we blindly submit as to an unavoidable evil. To be sub dued the scourge only needs to be fought with the weapons which science has put in otar hands There is no such percentage of deaths from typhoid fever in the armies of Ger? many and Frauce as in our army, and no such ravage i ri the cities of Eng land. Germany and France as in this city." Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which 3ir. John Oliver o? Philadelphia, was rhe subject, is nar? rated by him a.s follows : "I was in a mose dreadful condition M.- skin wa? almost yel? low, eyes sunken. f>n?;ue coated, pain continu ally in back and sides, no appetite-gradually growing we ker day by day. Three s hysi cians had given me up. Fortunately, a iriend advised trying 'Electric Bitt?r.?,' and :<> my great joy and surprise, thc first bottle made a decided improvement I c-ntinued their u?e for three weeks, and am now a well man. ] know they saved my life, an? robbed thcgrav? of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at J. F W. PeLorme'e Drug Store. 6 The Maria Teresa Lost. ! Special to The State. Charleston, No7. 5.-The raised Spanish cruiser, Maria Teresa, Cer vera's flagship, which was raised bj Lieut Hobson, was lost in a gale Tues day afternoon off the Bahamas and about 25 miles this side of Watling isl and. She left Guantanamo bay last Saturday afternoon at 6 o'clock for Norlolk io tow of two Chapman-Mer ritt wreok?Dg tugs, the ?. J Merritt and Vulcan. Last night about 6 30 the I J. Merritt arrived at the quaran? tine station here with thc crew of (he Maria Teresa aboard, and about 2 o'clock this afternoon she steamed into the dook of the Coal Consumers' Co , to coal for her further trip to Norfolk. The Dews of the loss of the Maria Teresa bad reached the city before the tog arrived at / the wharf and many spectators gathered to see the storm tossed orew and Cog. It was learned of the seamen that the trip of the Maria Teresa was without iucideirt until Tuesday morning, when the gale struck them. Under the directions of Capt. Ira Harris every effort was made to keep the Maria Teresa above water, but owing to ber battle-scarred condition, it was soon seen that she was doomed Capt. Harris, whose conduct throughout was characterized by the utmost coolness and courage, then ordered the erew to save themselves, and about 2 o'clock io the afternoon the last boatload of them were transferred to the deck of the I. J. Merritt and the Maria Teresa was abandoned. Every man was saved, 112 in all, Oapr. Harri3 being the last to leave the sicking warship with the loss of al! his money and clothing, j His conduct is spoken of with the highest admiration by the officers and sailors. None of the sailors were more than partially clothed when they arrived in the city this morning and many of them were without caps aod shoes They were given leave of ab sence until 4 o'clock and many of them came ashore to purchase necessary articles of clo;biog The work of rescue was very mush facilitated by the good work of Capt. John Critten? den and crew of the tog I. J. Merritt, who received great praise from the crew of the Maria Teresa for their oon doot in the emergency. The tug aod captain and orew of the Maria Teresa will continue their voyage to Norfolk to-night. J. H. Moore. Decided Tendency to Confuse the Peace Situation. Paris, Nov 1 -The Frenoh papers derive their news of the work of the peace commissioners from Spanish souroes, and, therefore, the morning papers here to-day are interesting as indicating the atmosphere in Spanish quarters abd thc trend French views and tendencies It must be recalled that the Spaniards have utterly accepted the refusal of the United States gov eromeot to assume any of the Spanish debt, and the Cuban question has been set away to await its place io the final treaty, provided diff?rences on the question of the Philippine ii lands shall not prevent the making of any treaty A9 the whole is composed of its parts, so must the Philippine question be mutualiv agreed on or none of those questions previously aireed on will find a place in the treaty. This is all the provision or provis local understanding existent in view of the facts then, the Paris press to day bas indicated a tendency to confuse the situaron. The Matin, in reviewing it saje: ''Ic is well understood that thc oession of Puerto Rico was tantamount to the payment of a war indemnity io cash, and entirely freed Spain from any sab sequent repetition on the snbjeet " Turning back to Cuba, the Matin remarks : "The Spaniards declined to cooour ia sepirating. that debt from the pledge, the mortgage from the loan, and ss it waa impossible to reach an understanding, they ask that at ?eas: the order of the protocol be inverted ?nd that tbe question of the Philip? pines bs previously discussed, that question pebbly offering the Amen cans an opportunity for tendering some compensation for the enormous sacri? fices they have forced upon the con quered. The Americans finally acced fd to the change, and only asked the i Spaniards to accept provisionally the clauses relating to the Cuban d;bt. with the re?ervation that she accep ance could be withdrawn if no agree ment was reached as to the Pn?ip pines Referring to yesterday's meeting, the Matin says: "The Spa: ?ards said they woald make their aosw< r known Friday, but it is easy to forespe what it wiil be-a refusal, precise and 1 informal The Spanish plenipotentiaries j have made up their minds, in tbe4event I of r.be United States adverting to the : Philippine proposal, to decine signing ? the act of peace, to break off tb?. oego ; nations ao<l to call upon the civilized j nations to wi'net-* tbe abase of force ro j which ?ber will be pobje-cfed and the j vio?ari??o or the provisions t?et forth in j the Washington protocol " The Gauloi? remarks: "The Span I iardt* will npver agree to abandon the archipelago without compensation, and ! we believe the Americans intend to rhsuggesiat they will assume the Philippine debt. We hope the nego? tiations will not be broken off. but Spain, it is given out as certain, would tase such a course rather than submit to humiliating terms." WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, Nov 7.-Although it has taken the peace commission, at Paris, more than a month to get down to the single question it was^form ed to settle-the disposition of the Philippines-it would be a safe wager that it will not take three weeks to finish the business This may seem a rash statement, in view of the apparent deadlock of the com mission, caused by the refusal of the Spanish commissioners to agree to surrender the Philippines upon the terms offered by our commissioners. If that deadlock were real, it would be a rash statement, bm it is not. There aie the best of reasons for the belief that this apparent deadlock is a dummy, trotted out for effect, and that the congressional campaign be? ing over, and the administration no longer having a reason for delaying the negotiation of the treaty, the commissioners wilt very speedily agree upon the amount of money that we are to pay Spain, and finish np the treaty. Although the treaty will say that we pay this money to Spain for the Philippines, others will regard it as paid for other purposes, inasmuch as the Philippines are ours by right of capture This idea of the victorious nation paying indemni ty to the conquered nation, has only one thing to commend it-it is origi? nal-but that isn't likely to make it popular. There will be some sharp talk on this subject in Congress, this winter, and it will not all come from democrats, either. If Lieut Hobson, who is still in Washington, has any of the supersti? tion which most persons raised in the South have, he probably regards himself as having been hoodooed. He had hardly recovered from the knockdown given him by the navy department when it refused to allow him to continue his efforts to save the Spanish warships, sunk off Santiago, when the news reached Washington that the Maria Teresa, the Spanish cruiser raised under bis direction, had foundered in a storm, while on its way tc New York. There is much real regret over the loss of this fine ship, estimated to be worth $2, 000,000, but there are naval officials -bigh ones-who regard the loss with complacency, because the ves? sel would have been a constant re? minder of Lieut. Hobson, wbo bas, they think, already received entirely too much glory for his work. Hob? son can't talk about the way he has been treated, but some of his friends can and do most emphatically The fact that the members of the Fourth Ohio Regiment would get home in time to vote was made ap purent by Mr. McKinley's treatment of them. The regiment, which was brought ali the way from Porto Rico, by special order of the President to get their votes in, was stopped in Washington for the purpose of being giyen a reception in the White House. Thc regiment was first re? viewed from the White House por? tico, and was then received in the East Room by Mr McKinley, who shook hands and exchanged a word or two with every member It is the first time that, any President ever accorded such an honor lo a body of soldiers as large as a regiment, but then, you know, Mr. McKinley re? garded their votes as being necessary in Ohio, and hoped that he might catch the democratic members-the Colonel is a democrat-by paying them unusual attentions. Belva Lockwood, once a Presiden tial candidate, and for years a sort of a lawyer and claim agent, has been telling some other women exactly what brought on the war She said il was all the Hoked newspapers, and attempted to prove the assertion. The following extract is a fair sample of her speec? : ' There was no need of the late war, and but for the press, it would never have blackened the pages of our history There was nothing but what couid have been settled by peaceful measures, by the ; President and his Cabinet Yet there were legislators who burned for giory i aud longed for fight, and these, egged j on by the press which printed all j ? their wild utterances brought about a declaration of war Then we forgot our civilization, and from read ng the papers, we thought it would be gio riou8 to bulcher our fellowmen and great to whip Spain The papers continually piled the tenible fuel on the flame, until five-year-old children j were impregnated with a desire to ; kill and ran about the Erects, sion | ing everything which*bore any rela lion lo Spain Tilers was more of the same sort, but this was enough to show how fortunate this country i is in not having a Belva Lockwood ? for Pr?sident i Of course the Aimy efficers know ! better than to talk for publication j about such things, but among them j selves BO me di) not hesitate to say ! that Gen Lawton's lestiniony before ? a member of Mr McKinley's alleged investigating Commission, which was j extremely laudatory of the War De . partraent's management of the San I tiago campaign, might have been j vety different had General Lawton I not. expected to ce named to super I cede Gen Graham, who was with [ out warning deprived of his command ; as Commander of the 2d Corps sta tinned at Camp Meade, Pa.

Lower Than in Years. Colton at its Lowest Point Since the Civil War Cotton is to day probably lower than it has been any time since the civil war. In the memory of none of the present trade has the quotations for the great staple been as low in the past thirty years as ?C now is Since the opening of the cotton year on September 1, it has declined from 5 1 8 cents for middling, to 4 5 8 cents, at which it ie quoted, a drop of i cent, or $2.50 on a 400 pound baie. While there have been greater drops than this in a similar space of time, such a decline with prices so low as they have been is a seri? ous biow to the farmers of the South, depending on cotton as their great money crop. The decline has brought cotton to the lowest point in its history in decades and given the market a feeling of gloom which hardly describes the sentiments of the unfortunate producers. How they can possibly derive any profit from the present prices it is hard to see As a matter of fact, they probably are not getting out of their cotton what it cost them to produce it, no matter how economically they ran their farms. It is a blue year for the cotton grower The following tabie of quotations on November I, for the last ten years, will give some idea of the present unfortunate state of the mar? ket.

Factors were gen? erally bopetul that this was the lowest point that would be reached. There was a good demand almost continuously at Liverpool, and the market held steadily until last week, when weak? ness, which bad been apparent for a few days, culminated in the decline, which, on Saturday, brought the price down to 4-g cents, at which it has since remained The immediate cause of the furtber drop is said to have been an estimate by Mr. Neill that tbe present crop wouid be ooe of 12 000,000 bales. Mr. Neill has been more fortunate in his estimates than many others who have essayed to predict past crops, and considerable reliance is put upon any statements made, or aiieged to bave been raade, by bira. There is no reasonable doubt, any way. it is stated, that the orop is another great ons and if Mr. Neill made the estimate referred to it evidently fr.ucd ready be! evcrs abroad.

McCarley, Cotton j Merchant, Killed a Negro WHILE PROTECTING ANOTH? ER WHITE MAN. Yesterday at noon the people of Columbia were startled to hear that a negro had been killed on Gervias street, near the union depot, and that young R J McCariey, Jr., was un? der arrest upon suspicion of having killed him in a "free for ail" fight. The news was a shock to Mr Mc? Carty's friends, for he is not of a quarrelsome uature, and they could hardly believe it was true. Subse? quent events proved that young McCarley was indeed guiltless, and his father, Mr R J. McCarley, the well known and popular cotton mer? chant, was accused of the homicide. This news was as startling as the other, but Mr. McCarley was arrest? ed, and is even now in the custody of Sheriff Cathcart. It has been difficult, indeed weil nigh impossible, to ascertain the truth of the deplorable affair, but from all that can be gathered it is said that Mr McCarley is responsible for the death of the negro, but he seems to have acted from a motive of protection, if he struck the fatal blow, interfering in a fight iu which it appeared to him that a white man was being worsted by one or more negroes. Almost immediately after the affair occurred the important eye witnesses either disappeared or declined to have anything to say. There was so much confusion that even the coro? ner's inquest could elicit no facts, and was suspended after the hearing of one witness The homicide occurred at a pump near the intersection of Gates and Gadsden streets, at the corner of Mr. Jno A Willis' iron works and al? most in front of Mr. McCarley's cot? ton office. It appears that a number of negro teamsters employed by Mr. Gregg Strickland were gathered around the pump. In some way an altercation arose between Mr Lathrobe, a brother-in-law of Mr. Strickland, and one of the wagoners named William Lytes In the evidence of the only witness examined, it is stated that Mr. Lath* robe struck Lytes with a pair of knucks, and started to walk away after being pulled off by the other negroes Lytes picked up a brick in a threatening manner and the dif? ficulty was renewed Mr. Lathrobe was knocked down. Just at this time, or immediately afterwards, accord? ing to the statement of Pete Bracey, an eve witness, Mr. McCarley ran out of his office and cried, "Who is that fighting a white man V He then 6truck the negro four blows with a stick, Lytes fell in a dying state, and Mr McCarley walked back to his office The police were sum? moned immediately, and they began to make investigations When in the confusion attendant upon the io* cident they he'ard that Jack McCarley was the one who struck Lytes, Offi cere Kramer and Henry Duming walked'to Mr McCarley's office to arrest him He himself was away, and one of the officers v/aiied while the other went for information. He returned saving that Mr McCarley's son was the one wanted Young McCarley, who is an oper? ator in his father's office, was permit ! ted to finish a leiegraro, and was then arrested by Policeman Kramer. He submitted very gracefully, never entering a protesf, although, as de? velopments proved, entirely innocent When the police were abie to get more light on the matter, they arrest ed Mr. McCarley and released his syn Mr McCarley was placed in the keeping of Sheriff Cathcart He has employed Messrs. P H Nelson j and Andrew Crawford for his attor? ney?, and neither he nor others in? terested in or consected with the ? eise will make any statement Lithrobe was arrested as an acc?s j sory, but has since been released on j bond -The State, Nov. 8 Paris, Nov 4 -A semi-r fficial note ! issued this evening says the enverr? ont bas resolved nor to retain ti:e Marchand misMOC at Fa?-beda adding i tba? this decision was artivrd at by the i cabinet aft^r exhaustive examination of ! rh'? question I L->odon.
