All dn*> The I'nited States I>emands Whole of the Plnlipines (Jroup ? We will Assume Onlv .the Portion of the I Vbt Incurred for Permanent Improvement*. A Paris telegram says that on Monday tho American commissionioners presente(l a written ex pression of the purpose of the I'nited States to take the entire group of Philipines islands and t<? assume such proportion of the Philipine debts as has been spent for the benefit of the islands or their inhabit ints, m public works, improvements, and permanent betterments. It was also set forth that the United States would not assume nuy part of the Philipinc debt which has been incurred by Spain for the furtherance of military or naval operations to quell insurrections of the natives. The session was adjourned until Friday in order to give the Spaniards time to prepare a reply. The session Monday lasted a little over an hour. After the conference was dissolved, the Spanish commissioners ?xpressed the opinion that the Americans' demand would create n Spain, as they had upon her jommissioners, an exceedingly yrave impression. Were the Spanish commissioners pushed to i final determination, they would eject the American demands, but he changing tone of the Spanish press recently urges the consumnation of a treaty of peace however rigorous, the argument bong that, although the Spaniards low to the American demands, he commissioners do not acknowl>dge the justice or admit tlio legaliy of them.

Talley, a proniMi.-.iL (farmer ami a iiiiia of some means, | living b miles northwest of this i city near Traveler's Rest, committed suicide eaily yesterday morning hy shooting himself i through the heud with a pistol. l?y the side of 1 he dead man was found a pathetic note written on a piece of pasteboard and addressed to his wife tolling her that he was going to kill himself and please to take care of his two children and have him buried at I once; that she would find his will in her favor in possession of his brother living near by. In the i note he gave as the cause for the taking of his own life that his health was permanently impaired I and that if he lived he would he only a drag and that therefore ho thought it heat for all concerned j that he should die. It is reported that he had often said lately that he would kill himself, hut it was I not thought he would carry out his declaration. Ho frequently | I suffered frotu severe headaches I that at times would almost drive ! him mad, but it is not thought i that he was suffering from one of J these attacks when ho fired the shot through his brain. Ou the contrary the circumstances surrounding the deed indicate that it nas committed after due delibera- | tion and while ho was in perfectly I sound mind. More Testimony. Mr \Y C Hutchison, mayor of Rock lliii, is a farmer on quito a ; large scale. Ho pursues principally the tenant and cropper system;! but runs a live horse farm with ; wage hands. Ho was in Yorkville on Monday, and in conver-} sation with a reporter the subject of harvesting corn by the whole j stalk was sprung. It developed that Mr Hutchison ha* be?n t>np. suing this plan for several years and that ho is delighted with it. I IIo has not yet purchased a shred 1 dor for the 'ouson ho was afraid it would not pay. The first year ho cut and shocked his corn while | in the roasting ear stage. Luckily lie hail good weather and the result was entirely satisfactory. The next year he waited until a little; later?until after the fodder , hail thoroughly ripened?and! again ho was delighted with the results There was no damage j on account of the method of Imr- | vesting.

The cash drawer was iqU pillaged but there was no money stai in it, consequently the thief failed aip to secure any of the 4'filthy lucre." Last flight Mr Green Bailey's u store was robbed of several articles of merhandise, tho entrance No being effected by breaking open a ?' window. A virgilant lookoat for the robber was kept by tho police and today a negro man was ar- , J , the rested for tho robbery. These depredations following in quick succession are evidently tho work ! of a "professional," and it is hoped the right mun has been i ^ captured.
