WASHINGTON , Junn 22. The understand
ing tli.it Smtn | would regard with favor an Inter
national commission to adjust pending claim *
brings out tlio ( act tbat on February 14 , IS'JI ,
Secretary Grcsh.tm submitted to .Spain ttio
draft of a treaty providing for such a com
mission. Thin offer of a treaty was never
withdrawn and It In now ticfcro the SpanUu
nuthorltlcs , FO Hint If they regard such a plan
with favor there appears to bo nothing In the
way of on agreement.
Article 1 of the draft submitted by Mr.
Qrelmm Is as follows : "There shall bo ap
pointed a commission consisting of three
members , one of whom shall bo named by the
president of the United States , one by her
majesty , the queen regent of Spain , and the
third by the president of the United States
and her majesty , the queen regent , con
jointly , and In case the third commissioner
shall not have been so named within a period
of three monthn from the date of exchange
of ratifications of this convention , then the
third commissioner shall be named by some
other method of procedure.
"To said commission shall be referred all
claims remaining unsettled which prior to the
date of exchange of ratifications of this con
vention shall have -diplomatically pre
sented by either government on behalf of Its
corporations , companies or Individual citizens
or subjects , to the other government arllng
out of rights denied or wrongs committed
since the 17th day of February , 1833 , to the
person or property of citizens or subjects of
the government presenting the claim not In
the service of the enemies of the other gov
ernment or voluntarily giving them aid and
comfort.
"Provided , that no claim shall bo within
the competence of the commission which Is
based upon the refusal of the United States
to pay Interest ( either by way of damages for
loss of property or delay In payment ) on
claims known as East Florida claims belong
ing to or derived from persons who were never
Spanish subjects , or who , subsequently to the
occurrences out of which the ICasl Florida
claims arose , ceased to be Spanish subject ? .
And provided further that no claim against
the United States based upon the emanclpa
tlon or loss of slaves since the 13th day of
April , 1SG1 , shall bo within the competence
of the commission.
MOKA CLAIM EXCEPTKD.
"The claim of Antonio Maxima Mora against
Spain , having been already settled , shall not
bo within the competence of the commission. "
The subsequent articles provide that the
commission shall meet In Washtngtpn , com
plcto Its work within six months , etc.
A clause Is added that Spain shall pay
$323,392 , which was agreed on In writing at
Madrid In 18S7. The $328,392 represents an
allowance made by Spain In 1SS7 to six United
States citizens , viz : Messrs , Martinez , Rojas ,
Isqulerdo , Dalgado , Ilatle anil Lopez.
In offering this treaty Mr. Gresliam wrote :
"I herewith enclose a draft of a convention
which the president Is wlll'ng to have exe
cuted on his behalf for submission to the
senate , whoso consent , as cho Spanish govern
ment of course understands , Is necessary.
It contemplates a commission to which shall
bo referred all unsettled claims on the part
of citizens of either country against the gov
ernment of the other which have arisen and
have- been diplomatically presented since the
date of the last general claims convention be
tween the two countries , to-wlt , that of February
ruary 17 , 1834. This covers the case of
claims based upon the failure or refusal ol
this government to pay Interest to Spanish
subjects on account 'of the East Florida
awards. Spain , of course , Is not concerned
In the failure or refusal of this government
to pay Interest to Its own citizens on such
awards. It also covers the claims of Spanish
subjects against this government growing oul
of our civil war. It likewise Includes all
claims , except that of Mora , growing out ol
the embargo of the estates of American citi
zens In Cuba , which were not dUpes > d cf by
the arbitrator and umpire appointed under the
agreement concluded at Madrid February 11-
12 , 1871 , between the Spanish minister of
state , Senor Cdstlno Marios , and the minister
plenipotentiary 'of the United States , Genera
Daniel IS. Sickles. "
As to the exccptcd claim Mr. dresham said
"While It must be distinctly understood , as
FO often heretofore declared , that payment of
Mora's claim can In no way be made de
pendent on the conclusion of the proposci
convention , yet It Is sincerely hoped that al
embarrassment with the Cortes In regard to
said payment may now bo removed. "
Senor Mcrot , the Spanish m'nlstor of foreign
affairs , In acknowledging the receipt of the
draft said It would receive attention. He also
pointed out tbat Secretary Gresham provide !
In his treaty that It should be ratified by the
United States senate. He also denied to the
Spanish Corles the right of passing on the
Jlora claim as agreed to by the Spanish ex
ccutlvo authorities. The negotiations on the
treaty never proceeded further and are now
pending.

Forecast of the ITnlmb'ci ' Deposition o
Control of Iinpurlmit Committees.
WASHINGTON , Juno 22. ( Special Tfile
gram. ) Prestige and power to an unusua
degree will be concentrated In the hands o
the senators beyond the Mississippi whci
the Fifty-fourth congress assembles and a re
organization of the senate Is accomplished
Considerable trouble has been anticipated in
the formation of the committee on finance
The silver men have Insisted upon making a
place upon that committee ror Senator Cam
cron of Pennsylvania , Conservat've , soum
money men of the senate have Insisted upoi
placing Senator Platt of Connecticut upot
that committee. The report Is that It ha
finally been concluded In the Interest of bar
mony to Increase the membership of th
committee on tlnance by two , and thus mak
a place upon that committee for Senaiu
Cameron and Senator Platt , thereby satis
tying the apparently discordant elements of
the cast and west. By thus ta'h.ng care of
Senator Plutt , the entire problem of reor
ganization has been very much simplified.
Senator Platt will give up his prospective
right to the chairmanship of the committee
on Indian affairs , and the committee on ter
ritories. He will have no chalrmansh p , but
will bo Eat I B tied with a membership of the
committee on finance.
The retirement of Senator Platt from
these chairmanships , to either ot which he
had a right , makes room for Senator Hans-
brough of North Dakota to bo chairman of
the committee on territories , and for Senator
Pettlgrcw of South Dakota to be cha'rman of
the committee on Indian affairs. Iy ) making
It possible for Senator Pettlgrow to secure
the chairmanship of Indian affairs , the
South Dakota senator Is taken out of the
way of Senator Dubols of Idaho , who can now
bo made chairman of the committee on pub
lic lands. If Senator Pettlgrew could not
have procured the committee on Indian af-
fa'rs , he would have claimed tire chairman
ship of the committee on public landt. mid
thereby Senator Dubols would have been dis
placed. Under existing circumstances ex
cellent chairmanships are given to the sen
ators from North Dakota , South Dakota and
Idaho.
The chairmanship of the great committee
on appropriations will go to Senator Allison
of Iowa , who was chairman of that commit
tee from March , 1SS1 , when Senator \Vlndom
of Minnesota retired from the senate to go
Into Garfleld's cabinet , until the senate was
reorganized by the democrats In 1S93 , a
period of twelve years. No one questions
that this great chairmanship will be spon
taneously accorded to the senior senator from
Iowa ,
Senator Davis of Minnesota Is entitled to
the chairmanship of the- committee on pen
sions , which chairmanship ho held during
the republican administration of the senate.
It Is not known whether or not Senator Davis
will demand this chairmanship again. He
also hai a right to claim the chairmanship
of the committee on claims , because It It
likely tbat the former chairman of that coir.
mlttee , Senator Mitchell o : Oregon , will be
nade chairman of the committee on prlv-
Icxes and elections. Senator Davli will
ontlnue h ! work as a member of the Itn-
ortant committees on foreign relations ,
Hillary affairs and Pacific rallroadi. To the
alter chairmanship Senator Davis also hni
right to make claim , If he 10 desires , by
eason of seniority of service.
Senator Squire of Washington Is the
cnlor member uf ths committee on fisheries
nd also of the committee on coast defenses ,
o that he can claim the chairmanship of
"Ithcr of those Important potential com
mittees.
The senators from Montana are both new
nen to the senate und neither of them ex-
icct a leading chairmanship.
While Senator Dubols of Idaho will be
nade chairman of the committee on public
ands , his colleague , Senator Shoup , will be
entitled to the chairmanship of the com-
nlttcc on Indian depredations , or of the
lommlttec on pensions , as he Is the senior
cpubllcan member of each of those com-
nlttees.
Senator Perkins of Callfornln can have
he chairmanship of either the committee on
Ml service and retrenchment , or the com-
nlttee on education and labor , both of which
iQsltlons are regarded as of great Importance
n the senate. The republican senators from
S'yomlng , Nebraska and Kansas are new
nen In the senate and therefore will not be
ntltled to leading chairmanships.
Senator Teller of Colorado will be entitled
o the chairmanship of the committee on
patents , and his colleague , Senator Wolcott ,
vlll be entitled to the chairmanship of the
committee on the library : und It will prob
ably be under his administration of that com-
nlttee that the great congressional library
vlll be completed and dedicated.
It will thus be seen that every one of the
enators from the states west of the Mlssls-
Ippl river , who have been members of pre-
ctdlng congresses , will be plac-d In positions
of unusual Importance ; and by reason of those
loslllons will become Important factors In
ihaplng national legislation during the Fltty-
'ourth congress.

WASHINGTON , June 22. Mr. George
lazard , secretary of the democratic com-
mlttej of Washington , has been In the city
'or ' the past two weeks making arrange-
nents for a tour by democratic statesmen
and orators through the northwestern states
this autumn. The party will consist of from
.welve to fourteen persons , all told , and will
jo under the. Individual direction of Mr.
uawrenco Gardner , secretary of the demo
cratic congressional committee and National
\ssoclatlon of Democratic Clubs , who will
eave Washington the 26th of July and
traverse the entire route In advnnca of the
party to prepare for the reception and
entertainment. U Is arranged that the party
win leave Washington about August 24 ,
reaching Buffalo , N. Y. , on the 27th , then
through the great lakes to Duluth , where
the Initial meeting will be held , and from
there the party will proceed westward Into
North and South Dakota , then on Into Mon
tana , holding the first meeting In that state
at Butte , then south into Yellowstone park ,
returning from which place they will spend
a week In Montana and.from there through
Idaho to Washington , where speeches will be
made at the opening of the annual meeting
of the Democratic society of Washington.
The party will then proceed south through
Dregon and thence through Idaho to Salt
Lake City , and then west to San Francisco ,
and from this point their homeward journey
will begin , passing through New Mexico.
Nevada , Colorado , Utah , Nebraska , and
thence to St. Louis and home. It Is ex
pected that this trip will consume about six
weeks.
Mr. Hazard has already been over the
ground and has made all the preliminary
arrangements , and lie reports that this party
will receive a more hearty reception than the
party which went out In 1891.
In a number of states the party will divide-
so that several meetings can be made on the
same evening at different points. It Is esti
mated that there will be about 150 meetings
held during the Journey. When asked how
It was possible for eastern orators to make
a tour through the northwest at the present
time with the silver excitement running
so high , Mr. Hazard answered : "This Is
a party going out to preach democracy pure
and simple , and the unification of the op
position to the republican party. "

WASHINGTON , June 22. Formal Instruc
tions for the government of leases of land
In the Yellowstone park were Issued today
by Acting Secretary of the Interior Sims.
The department holds that It Is not Its policy
to Interfere with the private ownership of
lands within the park , but It forbids grazing
shocp and cattle therein ami carrying them
over the park lands except under the super
intendent's supervision. Acting Superintend
ent Rogers Is directed to require each owner
of patented lands within the park , or his
lessco or transferee , before taking any steps
toward carrying stock to such lands , to flic
evidence of tltlo and have the lands properly
surveyed.
The oIMclal recommendation that no owner
of lands within the limits of the park be al
lowed to lease the property to any sheep or
cattle owner Is not adopted. However , parties
who lease from fifty to 320 acres and bring
In stock that would graze off that amount
of land In two weeks and keep the stock In
the park all summer , with men on the
watch so word can bo given of the patrol's
approach , when the stock Is driven back to
leased land , will be summarily dealt with.
They will bo given notification that no further
leases of lands to them within the park lim
its will be recognized , as the departmenl
"does not propose to allow things to drift
along until the park swarms with sheep ,
cattle and their Irresponsible drivers. "

land has cabled Secretary Herbert that Em
peror William has expressed a desire to visit
the United States cruiser New York
and that the cruiser will remain at Kiel In
order to afford the emperor an opportunity
to make the visit. Secretary Herbert cablet
the admiral to have the vessel remain for tha
purpose.
The New York was under orders to return
at once from the celebration , but the desire
of Emperor William to see the vessel , o
course , was ample reason for delaying her
departure.
Admiral Klrkland also telegraphed regard
Ing the accident to the steam launch yester
day. Ho says It was the launch of the San
Francisco , Instead of the Qplumbla , which ex
plodcJ , and that three men wore Injured

isald that a launch of one of the returning vcs
tcls , either the New York or the Columbia
would be assigned to the San Franclwo Ii
place of the damaged launch , which would
bo brought homo for repairs. The depart
ment cabled Admiral Klrkland for the named
of the Injured men , In order to set at res
any apprehension that may exist as to wh
were Injured. The report that an accUen
had occurred has caused telegrams to be sen
to the department by the score by

LONDON , June 22. This has been the
aycst week of the season , mainly due to the
\scot race meeting and balls given by the
narchloness of Salisbury and others. After
little rain In the earlier part of the
veek , the weather seems to promise a num-
cr of fine , though hot , days , and In con-
equence every person who can do so Is
njoylng himself or herself to the utmost.
Socially , the Ascot meeting just ended has
iccn the best one on record , royalty and
he admirers of royalty , to say nothing of
hose who are fond of good racing , turned
ut In almost the biggest possible form.
The ground was so hard that the owners of
aluable horses were not willing to risk
hem. Consequently the fields were the
mallcst of the year. But for the display
f toilettes the weather could not have been
letter. On Tuesday and Thursday , the two
irlnclpal days , the weather was bright and
) lcasant. White was the color which pre-
onilnated In the fashionable throng , while
lats of enormous size , covered -with long
temmcd shaking flowers made the royal
nclosure resemble n ( lower garden. The
nclosure , In addition , was so crowded that
vnlklng about was almost an Impossibility
or a ludy. The members of the royal
amlly never left their boxes except for
uncheon and so the majority of the people
iresent In the enclosure had very llttlo
atisfactlon so far as mingling with royalty
vas concerned. All the smartest men with
eputatlons as dressers to uphold wore black
rock coats with silk hats and small bow
les.
les.The
The rrlnco of Wales on Thursday shocked
he leaders of fashion by appearing In a
white stove pipe hat , and he had evidently
persuaded the earl of Cardogan , who was
ncluded In the prince of Wales' house
party , to follow his example. There "Is
much speculation as to whether the prince
of Wales' lead will have any.effect on the
'ashlons ' , but It Is not likely , as in spite of
all that has been said to the contrary on
: he subject , the prlnca of Wales does not
ead the fashions.
There were fewer parties than usual at
Ascot , the majority of those present at the
races taking trains dally from Waterloo sta-
lon , where thousands assembled to witness
he departure and arrival of the fashionable
crowds.
In spite of the many entries , no American
terse appeared at Ascot. Mr. Richard
Jioker of New York took a house at Ascot
'or ' the week and did things In style. He
was most correctly dressed In a long frock
coat , dark stripped trousers , patent leathers
and a dazzling silk hat. Mr. Croker also
carried a pair of racing glasses strung across
ils body from the shoulder. Mrs. Croker ,
who accompanied him , looked handsome , and
was one of the best dressed ladles there.
COLD DAY FOR NAZRULLA.
The Afghan prince , who Is visiting Eng
land , Nazrulla Khan , was present at Ascot
on cup day. He wore a heavy fur coat In
spite of the fact that the mercury was at SO
degrees. The ameer of Afghanistan has re
solved to allow his hopeful son to stay In
England until the end of August , and It is
an open secret that this sudden resolution of
: he nmcer greatly perturbs the royal family.
I Hit he will probably be shunted off to the
continent.
The queen has arrived at Windsor castle
from Balmoral , and It Is stated the dinner
which she Is to give to Nazrulla Khan will
je a great affair. Her majesty will not un-
, lergo the fatigue of giving a garden party
at' Buckingham palace this season , as was
hoped , but she will lend the grounds to the
prince and princess of Wales , who find the
grounds of Marlborough house too small for
such a purpose.
The International railway congress holds
Its first session Wednesday next at the Im
perial Institute , and It will be opened by the
princeof Wales. The American delegates
who arrived on Wednesday last received a
most cordial greeting from their English
brethren. A suite of handsome rooms has
been reserved for their use at the Victoria
hotel , and numerous arrangements have been
made for their entertainment. Most of the
American delegates were at the Ascot races
on Thursday. The queen will receive the
members of the railway congress at Windsor
on July C. Her majesty , however , has ex
pressed her desire that not only the leading
members of the congress be Introduced to
her , but all the others , with their families ,
will be free to roam about the castle and Its
grounds. All the American delegates will
attend a banquet on the Fourth of July.
Ths International Railway Congress Is the
first held In this country , and promises to be
a great success. The home railway com
panies are offering every facility to the for
eign delegates to see the railway works In
Great Britain , and out of over 20,000 miles
of railway open In the United Kingdom ,
19,000 miles will be directly represented In
the congress.
Not less than 275 railway undertakings
will be represented , with a mileage of some
thing like 125,000 miles , and the delegates
Include representatives from fifty different
countries. The congress will sit until July 9.
According to the English society papers
the Asters own 600,000 ( $3,000,000) ) worth of
lace ; the Vanderbllts own 800,000 ( $4,000.
000) ) worth , while the princess of Wales only
possesses , according to the estimates of the
papers , 50,000 ( J250.000) ) worth. But the
pops seems to be even worse off than tla
princess of Wales , for the society papers
claim he has only 15,000 ( $75,000) ) worth of
lace > .
The Realm , Lady Colin Campbell's paper
says that Lady Randolph Churchill ( formerly
Miss Jennie Jerome of New York ) , widow o
Lord Randolph Churchill , who died on Jan
uary 24 , Is now to be seen In Paris in the
smartest cycling version of mourning. It Is
added that she wears a black alpaca suit
adorned with black leather knickerbockers
concealed by a short skirt and a black straw
hat.
READY FOR A ROYAL WEDDING.
The arrangements for the marriage of the
duke of Aostn , nephew of the king of Italy
to the Princess Helen of Orleans , which Is to
take place on Tuesday next , are expanding
Four hotels , In addition to the Bristol hotel
occupied by the countess of Paris , have been
engaged for the guests. The wedding break
fast Is to be given at the Orleans house
Twickenham , but there will be several dlnne
parties at the Bristol hotel. Twickenham I
looking lovely and the road from Orlean
house to the chapel , about half a mile dls
taut , where the ceremony Is to take place
will be lined by many thousands of visitors *
The princess of Naples , the duke of Aumele
the Infanta Marie Louise of Spain , th
duchess of Montepensere and the Prince an.
Princess Henty of Battenburg , rppre enlin'
the queen , form the most Important guests
although It Is possible that the prince o
Wales may also be present. i'nucct
Helen's bridal veil Is a splendid specimen o
Chantllly lace , about fourteen feet long. I
has a broad border enriched with a flora
patterns , which diminishes In elaboration a
It reaches the head. Two branches spring
from the train , forming In the middle a ser
of medallion , enclosing th > arms of lift
bridegroom , surmounted by the cross o
Savoy and the arms of France with the fleu
de Ils. The crown of the princess of Savoy
stands above the two escutcheons.
The Henley regatta promises to be th
gayest In years. The demand for house boat
was never so great and 170 guineas have beei
given for one boat fcr a week , and 5 guinea
has been charged for the rent of a small bed
room.
According to Lord Dunw.n's pro cit plans
Valkyrlo III will not do any racing on th
Clyde before starting for the event which 1
Is expected will start about July 15. Bu
both the prince of Wales , owner of Brit
annla and Mr. A. B. Walker , owner o
Allsa , have promised Lord Dunraven anj
number of trial races and he Is .understood t
like this much better than entering In regula
race ? . The reason /or this Is not a de'lre fo
secrecy , but U In order to prevent the yacli
from being unnecessarily strained and gen
erally knocked about , as It would be In
regular race. Lcrd Dunraven Is afraid of tb
remendous spars of Vnklrle HI , which
wart anythlpg yet seen fibre. The prospect
if Allsa going to America Is now over ,
but there Is ( till a possibility of DriUnnln
going. Mr. Jamison , whp represented the
irlnce of Wales with Dfltnllnln , discussing
he prospects the other.j-il > r said : "Well ,

; old cup at Ascot yesterday , and who w.n
he Derby , St. Leger and , ,2,000 guineas In

Imtnon , who did so wellit Ascot. I ? pro-
ounced to behe best colt of the season and
likely Derby winner. He Is entered for the

Ir. Foxhall Keenc and Mr. August Belmont
nd other Americans have entries. Benson ,
he jubilee "plunger , " Is again about to begin
jetting hea'vlly on the races. Messrs. Croksr
ind Dwyer seem to be descouraged with
lielr experiences here. They say they do
ot know when they will race again. Willie
3. Slmms , the Croker colored Jockey , has
eon amusing himself. On Monday he
wagered he would drive a trotter from New-
narket to Cambridge and return within an
lour. Slmms started In a sulky and made
Cambridge In qu'ck time. In returning , Just
s he ncared Newmarket , the horse dropped
cad.
The drouth Is beginning to bo serious to
tie towns as well as to the farmers. Blrmlng-
am. Coventry and many other places have
laced severe restrictions on the use of

een stopped. At Stratford-on-Avon the river
s quite dry below the Mill bridge and the
coplo are walking along the bed. There Is

The past week has been unusually dull nt
ho theaters. Mr. George Alexander yester-
ay revived "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray"
t the St. James' theater with Mrs. Mlllnrd
s Mra. Tanqueray. She was very euceess-
ul. At the Lyceum theater Sir Henry Irving
s "Shylock" has been playing to moderate
uslness. The rivalry between Sarah Bern-
ardt and Elenor Dusc has finally culminated
n an open expression of opinion upon the
> art of the former. She witnessed Duse's
Camllle. " "In the second act , " said Bern-
laro't , "and again In the fifth there were
iretty little bits of business In Duse's per-
ormanco that Interested and pleased me.
But between ourselves , If you must have the
ruth , I thought her a little bourgeolse for
ho part. "
The unprecedented rush at the hotel ? con-

Martinez Campos ordered the general' In
command at duayamaro , with 4.000 men , to
Intercept and prevent Maximo Gomez's pas
sage Into Camaguay. Gomez Instructed Macco
to proceed westward on the north coast , while
ho worked westward on the southern coast.
When Maceo was nearly abreast of Guaya-
rnaro , he sent a courier there Inviting the
Spanish general to battle. The commander ,
proceeded quietly to meet Maceo , but Maceo
had continued his march before the com
mander could reach Guayamaro , and Gomez
had Invaded Camaguay. Campos Is quoted
as saying that ho had but two battalions ho
could depend on.

NEW YOIIK , June 22. A special to the
World from London says an amusing Incident ,
related by Mr. Henry Utbouchere , Illustrates
the unlocked for character of the crisis In
Parliament , Mr. Uibouchcro and Sir Wil
liam Vcrnon Harcourt met on the terrace of
the House and Sir William said Jokingly to
Mr. Uibouchere : "How dull It has been
without the crisis. How la It you have not
provided one ? "
Mr. Labouchcro In replying said that he did
not know how to get up a crisis on the army
estimate , when the bell rang announcing that
a division had been challenged. They went
In together and that division has been fol
lowed by the most serious crisis that this
government as yet has had to face.
A defeat of this latitude would have been
easily surmounted had not the affairs of the
government got Into such a bad way all
around of late. It certainly much hastens , It
It does not Instantly precipitate , a general
election.

LONDON , Juno 22. The true story of th
"determinations" of the duke of Cambridge
to resign his post ot conimandcr-ln-chlef ot
the British army announced la the House ot
Commons yesterday by the secretary for war ,
Mr. Campbell Bannernmn , as exclusively
ciblcd to the Associated press yesterday after ,
noon , throws new light upon the subject.
There has long been a strong agitation
against the paper and the govern
ment , It appears , acting on the
principle of expediency , caused It
to be known that It would materially assist
the government , If the duke would offer to
resign. Consequently the duke , not sus
pecting that his offer would bo accepted , sent
In his papers to the iiueen and the latter
handed them to the government under the
Impression that they would bo returned.
The government , however , accepted the
papers as n definite resignation and Mr.
Campbell Bannerman made the announce
ment to the house , which was the last thing
expected or desired by the queen or by the
duke of Cambridge.
