Paris, December 8.-The .United.

the treaty of peace. They will -meet

will--be engrossed under the super
vision' of Mr. Moore and Senor
Ojeda, the secretaries of the respect

i .-1?he'Spaniards are exceedingly
bitter over the result, though observ
ing the forms of friendliu s.s and
courtesy to the end. Sonor Montero
'Rios, whose strong and persistent
ougigle to - save for hii country
-;vety possible asset from tho wreck
of her colonial empire has com
gafnded the respect and admiration
offl his oppenents,. went from the
concil chamber today to his hed in
i state of .complete collapse as the
result of the long Rt.rain nnd his
.Ahagirin over the small fruits of his
rffbrts. Senor Ojeda has been pros
trated since yesterday and was un
able to attend the joint session to
day.
Thp,Spaniards charge equal blame
upon the-Earopean Powers arid the
Unibed States for their downfall.
On of: the Spanish commissioners
1inFftis evening: The European na
tions have made a great mistake in
deserting Spain and leaving her to
spoliation by the brute foreo of a
conscienceless giant. They all know
that ,lo the Philippines America has
taken more than she can dige&t. She
will .ultimately sell the islands to
EnXlnd or Germany, and. when the
transfer is attempted it will precipi
t.ats general European strife.

.?airis, December 8.-The treaty is
fished. -The Spaniards have de
blined to grant most of the requests
~fthe United States which were n
set4led at the beginning of the ses
sion. They refuse to cede a coaling
station in the Caroline Islands to the
United States.
Judge Day today said: "We have
settled4f the .oints on which. we
can agree. . .It' only remt ins to en..
gross a'na sign the treatf.' That will
be done in two or three days.
The members of the commuissione

was accomplished.
When all .the pronositions hai
been discussed Judge Day, presi
dont of the American commission
remarked: "There seems to be noth
ing more to do but to engross au
sign the treaty."
Senor Montero Rios, president ol
the Spanish commission, acquiesced
in this and the AmericanR bowed
themselves out before the Spaniards,
accordingto their -custom.
The American commissioners en.
tered the joint conference today in v
n6rvous frame of* wind. They ovi
dontly had reasons to believe that v
possibility existed, ev,n at this latc
hour,. that there might be a rupture.
This feeling of apprehension waE
based on the temper the SpaniardE
have displayed lately.
The Madrid papers are disposed
to revive the question of the Maine,

United States on account of the ref.
orence made to this subject in Presi

tero Rios, president of the Spanish
commission, made an impassioned
denunciation of Prosident McKinley
at the last joint meeting of the cow.
missions. But those reports arc
practically without foundation. Senot
Rios did refer to the Maine, but in
only one calmly worded sontencO, ox
pressing regret that the Prosideil
had spoken, as Spaniards thought,
unjustly of them. The Spaniar(h
had already proposed at this confor
once to have the responsibility of th(
Maine reported upon by a joint com.
mission of the European Powerp
The American commissioners refused
to listen to this and permitted Senoi
Rios' reference to the President'i
message to pass unchallenged, as i
discussion would have provoked do
bate and bad blood.

Columbia, November 29-The Sea- P
board Air Lin, has taken the initi- t
ative in encouraging tho planting of h
grasses along its roadbed throughout b,
the South, and it is claimed that, this a
enterprise will probably conduce to e
diversified agriculturo. The chief 6
industrial agent, Mr. John T. Pat- C
rick, has just issued the following w
circular letter to the industrial agents '
of the road:
"You know at our last industrial ti
meeting at Elberton it was decided
by the industrial agouts to adopt the ti
suggestion of Prof. Hunnicut, of the t'
State Collogo of Georgia, in regard ti
to putting out as an experiment e
grass on the right-of-way of the Soa- "
board Air Line, grass to be planted 1
on the right hand side of railroad as t
we P-> South. y
"There can be much accomplished u
by carrying out this suggestion. In a
the first place our farmers must grow 0
more grass and raise more stock. t
They cannot. make cotton at the
present price. Therefore, we must '
do what we can to show them how to
raise grass. It will be necessary to
fertilizo tho land, and wo vi ust do
pend largely on commercial fortili
zers to do this. The fertilizer coin
panies are interested in this experi.
mont, and if you will make an effort t
you can get from the fortilizor com
panies that s ll fertilizers in your L
L section enough to fertilize the land
half way between your place and the
next station. You can agree to put
on the grasi plots the name of the
fertilizer, the firm that makes it and
the agent that sells it. Farierk cant
soo how the different fertilizers act
on different varieties of grass and
I land. By putting up the guano ccin
panies' iortisememnt it will pay
them for what they do in helping
you. Say that it is three miles from
0 your station to t ho next station south,
- and four mi;les to the next station
north, that, gives you sven miles.
You would have half of this digtanco
0 in each direction planted. This
0 would give you a distance of three
and ono-half miles in the other, which
would -divide the distance between
you and the next industrial agent.
You wvould plant a st rip ten feot
wide, and equal to three miles and a
0 half. You would want to use onl this
.amount about, two tons of fertilizer,
e* and I am suce that you will have no
trouble in getting this if you will
make the propaer (efforts with the
r aigonts of the comnpanio.s that soll in
ir your place. There are prob)ably ten
1comopntnies that soll ini your section,
aT tnd if t hey would give an average of

.all that you neced. No doubt but

Mr. Pair ck has also written Gv

The southern Railway Co. has just
isued, at a very large expense, a
magnificent volume, entitled "The
1mpire of the South," (yhich is ar
istic and beautiful enough to adorn
ny library and which equals the
est work irued by any Western
ino. Such a work is a credit to the
ond, and must prove of very great
ralue to the entire South. It is a
)ook which a great system such as
he Southern can afford without cur
ailing its regular expenditures for
Ittracting capital and immigration,
Lud in this particular this road do
erves the commendation of the en
ire South for the broad scope of its
vork and the persistency with which
t is pushed.

Rhich because of its financial und

with a view to reorganization, the
Mlanufacturers' Record said that it
regarded the ont:rance of thme Morgan
interests into t.he Southern railway

the whole South. "Their reorgani
zation of these bankrupt proporties
and the dievelopmnent which they will
necessarily help to bring about" will,
he Manufacturers' Record said, add
to prosperity of the entire territory
tributary to these roads. Notwith
standing the long period of financial
and industrial dlepres;sion through
which the couuntry has been passing
since this sy stem was reorganized,
we can see many evidences of the
great work aliready accomp1)1ished.
Partly through the co-operation of
this company the building of the

Washington, December 7.--Rop
resentativo Latiner. of South Caro
lina, who came to Washington inl
company with a number of Massa
3busotts troops journoying northwest
Di furlough, relates aln intorosting
convorsation which ho had with somjo
Df the Bay State soldier boys in con
nection with the recent race troubles
in South Carolina. It was in Mr.
Latimer's district that the Grvon
wood trouble occurred, and he is fa
miliar with the conditions in that,
vicinity. The establishinent of mil
itary campa in South Carolina and
Georgia has enabled Northern volun
ters to learn, by practical experience
3ometbing of the raco conditions in
tho South. Mr. Latimor says ho
talked with a utmber of tho Massa
3husetts soldiers en routo to Wash
ington, and they adimlitto.d to him
that they had learned, during their
short sojourn in the S uth, that the
Southorn peoplo iare really the best
friends the negroes havo. The sol
diers frankly stated that. many of
their friends in the North, who have
never visited the South, havo false
impressions of the relationship bo
tweenl the white people in the South
and their colored neighbors. The
negroes are, with few oxceptioniis,
sololy dependent up on the wh ites,and
when left to thomselves are inclined
to appreciate thogenerosity, forbear
anco and friendly instincts of the
white popl. Mr Latiner said the
mingling of the Now England troops
with their Southern brothron is hav
ing a good elfect, for it teaches thom
that the negroes can work out their
own salvation to a better advantage
at the hands of the white peoplo than
by outside intorforence. All vestiges
of sectional prejudices and jealousy
have been wiped out by the events
of the war with Spain, and Northern
soldiers now camped in th South
are received with opon hearts and
hands by the poople of the South.
WANT TO BE LIEUTENANTS.
Mr. Latitner says that the mili
tary spirit all through his district is
on the increase, and ho is daily in
receipt of communications from
young mon anxious to continue in
the service of the regular army. The
majority of his5 corr-esp)ond(ents aspire
to coinmtissions in the regular army
as secondl lieutenants. It is proba
bio that a large numnbor of second
licutoniants wvill be lprovidled for in
tho now bill reorganizing th' army,
wiihi is soon1 to comoa up i[1on
gross for consideration. Mr. Lat i
c or called at the war depart ment
yesterday and placed oni fi lt thme apl
plications of several young imion in
his district whiio are seeking these
ap)poinitmients. Among tilho nes
suggestad woero TIhomas Stewvart, of
CJomnpany B. Southi Carol inao voli an
teers, and WV. S. Langford1, bo0th of
Ne wbor ry.
At p)rosenit no app)oinitments to thle
grade of secondu lieute"mmt inl the
regular army are being made, as the
nulmber provided for by existing la,.v
is exlhautiitd. Tmhe w army b)ill wi.ll
1be one of the first rm"asuIreIs consid1
