Scnor Montero Rlos , president of the Spanish pcice commission , tnd Stnor OJeda , secretory of that commls- llon , nro still confined to their beds. The Illness of Senor Ojcda delays the engrossing of the treaty and It Is doubtful whether It will bo signed before Monday. The Americans held their usual session this morning. The Spaniards continue making bitter comments concerning President Mc- ( Ctnloy's reference to the Maine. When a correspondent of the Associated Press approached Senor Garnlca ot the Span ish commission for further details of the treaty he said : "Tho fact that you repre- lent all the American and English papers Is really a reason why I should iay nothing. But , what you show me as having been cabled , is substantially correct. The exact Dumber of articles Is still undetermined. It Sopends upon how Secretaries OJeda and Moore divide the treaty. It may be In twelve or twenty articles. The Americans ire to pay the Indemnity within three months ot the ratifications. We shall ap point consuls In Cuba , Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands without delay. The Cuban consul will be accredited to the pow ers that be. " Asked why the Spaniards refused to grant the United States a coaling station in the Caroline Islands , Scnor Garnlca said : "The Americans could hardly expect that we ihould agree to discuss matters outside ot the protocol , after the lessons we have had from them on this point. When we wished to discuss the Cuban debt they absolutely refused to consider It , and then they ask us for whatever they want. Quelle toupet ( What cheek ) . Yet the Cuban debt remains an Important question for settlement. Contribution to HlNtary. "In regard to the Spaniard's final protest on tbe subject of the Maine , Senor Garnlca remarked : "That protest now becomes his tory , as It Is embodied In Ihe protocol. We do 'not wish to remain under one Imputation which would perpetuate animosity and hatred against us , and which would bo n ource of constant Irritation In Spain. II Is neither loyal nor just that this thing hould hang over the reputation of Spain. We cannot submit to It. It must be cleared up , in justice to ourselves. There are many other cause to bring hatred between the two nations.without t ° e addition ot such a one to tha futa\'c. \ ? cUtluiMthi , 'that' Is one of the thing * his tory alone can determine. Many natlom Which tiave been deadly enemies are speed ily reconciled. " Senor Garnlca was then questioned as Tc the future of the Philippine Islands and h < said : "Tho United States has Inaugurated t policy which will bring It much -trouble an ( many i expansibilities. The Americans an not prepared for the work they ore nbou' ' to undertake. Your democratic system mua inaugurate an Imperialistic and bureau- cratlc system , and } ou must Increase youi army and navy , with the result that then will bo constant friction between yourselves nd European powers. " Term * of Trciity n Secret. The Americans preserve secrecy regarding the terms of the treaty. This Is parti ; through the Influence , of three senators litho the body , who represent that Itould b discourtesy to the senate to publish th terms before the treaty Is presented to tha body. The protocol of the treaty will almos reach the dimensions of a volume , as It wll contain every written statement presentei on both sides during the conferences. The Spaniards made a last contrlbutloi K t yesterday on the assembling of the commls [ ft. A slons , Senor Montero Rlos then presented , vigorously worded protest , In which th Spaniards declared they had yielded to force but that they Invoked the conscience ot th nation ? against the abuse of the rights c nations of which they were the victims. Th protest was for the purpose of record , an conaltted of an argument In support of ever concession demanded by the Spaniards , an which the American * refused , some of ther peremptorily and without an opportunity to discussion. The protest concluded : "But these cor cessions which we were obliged to mah touch us less than the Insult which has bee inflicted on our nation by President Me Klnley In hi * message. We again prole ; solemnly against the accusation hurlo gainst u * In connection with the Malm and we intend to again submit the questlo to an International tribunal , comprised < England , France and Germany , to determlc who shall bear the responsibility ot tl catastrophe. " Content * of Treaty. In spite of secrecy observed by the Amer cans it is learned that the treaty in sul stance consists of thirteen or fourteen art cles. Tbe principal articles provide for tt cession and evacuation of Cuba , Porto Rl < and the Philippine islands , and tbe politics administrative and financial d'j.urtmen thsreof ; the acquirement by the Unite State * of public property and tbe reltnqulsl ment ot archives.

SHANGHAI , Dec. 9. John Barrett , for merly United States minister to Slam , has returned here after visiting Pekln and the principal Chinese ports. Ho says the situ a. tlon In China Is of the most critical nature and that Manchuria Is no longer Chinese , but Russian territory. He asserts that New Chwang , the chief northern port for the movement ot American products , Is also practically Runslan and Is liable to be closed any day. The only permanent safeguard to the para mount American and British interests , Mr. Barrett says , Is Immediate and united action by the Interested governments to defend ths territory of the Chinese empire , to enforce reforms in the government , to prevent further cessions ot ports and provinces and to Insist upon the "open door" policy in all ports of China , including tbe spheres ot Influence claimed by Russia , Germany and France. Otherwise , Mr. Barrett contends , the Impending partition of the Chinese em pire will seriously curtail the field ot trade by disastrously affecting American and ! British Influence in Asia.

STANDS TRUE TO THE LAST Royal Artilleryman Sticks to His Partner In an Intrigue , FAITHFULNESS BRINGS DEATH SENTENCE Refnal to Deert the Woman with Whom He Sinned Place * Him Under the Shadow of the Gnllow * . ( Copyright , 1898. by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , Dec. -New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The case In which Lieutenant Wark of the Royal Ar tillery bos been sentenced to death for aidIng - Ing and abetting Miss Yatcs , a Liverpool woman of good position , with whom he was carrying on an intrlgua In performing an Illegal operation which resulted In her death , hag created a widespread sensation. Wark Is an Irishman , 46 years of age and married. He ouHated as a .private soldier at 30 years of age-and served with distinc tion In the Afghan war. While stationed at Liverpool he tet Miss Yatea , who was a pupil of a riding school of which Wark was principal. At the trial no such scene has been wit nessed since the famous Maybrlck trial. The evidence showed that Wark tried first to dissuade Miss Yatea from undergoing an operation , but when she insisted he said he would stand by her to the end. When the Jury returned a verdict of guilty , Wark addressed the court , protesting hli Innocence , saying that because he had chosen to etlck to Miss Yates like a man he now found himself convicted , though It ho had chosen to throw her over like a discarded toy all would have been well. Ho said his letters had been cruelly and wrongly Interpreted. A great number of letters had been kept back that would have proved his innocence beyond a doubt. Ac cording to scripture twlco was he cursed who moved his neighbor's landmark , but he said thrice cursed be he or she who kept back evidence willfully which would prove a man's Innocence. If this evidence should bo forthcoming It would prove that ho now stood before the court an Innocent man. Jt was duo to his own wife to cay that through all she had beea the best of wives and mothers. His wife had found she could not stop the intrigue , but she had hoped he would aomo day turn away from wicked ness and sin. But , having won the girl's love , she having placed implicit trust In him , how could he throw her to on * side ? Ho had stuck to her to the bitter end and It was no fault of ila that ehe did not die In the arms of the man she loved , as he was on his way to her on the day of hei death. There had been In this case Ue Innumerable In fact It was almost enough to turn a man away from Clod's holy book. The prisoner closed his speech with the words : "I am now at your mercy , my Lord. " When the prisoner was sentenced to death men and women roseIn court tc scramble over the seats to shake him bj the hand , shouting : "Good bye , " and "God bless you. " General feeling Is strongly ad verse to the verdict and the sentence , and an extraordinary demonstration was mad < against Judge Fbllllraore when leaving thi court. Public opinion Is that while Warl was guilty of Immoral conduct , be acted courageously and is entirely innocent o ! dellbcratetipartlclpatlon 'in the crime.

Wo have level-headed , conservative men at the heai if It. During the last week there has [ utctly gone into effect a new scale of nine .nd a half hours per day and wages thai .re . satisfactory to employers and employes "hough the Interests of the two are dlamet- Ically opposed , we 'have always been able to get along well , and because the union has ' > een represented by conservative men the imployers have always treated us with con- ildcratlon. Past differences are now forgot ten and there Is not a ripple to disturb the imooth sailing before us. " W. C. Boyer of the local union was called upon to- tell of the western printer. He described him in his early days , the "oh Missouri river pirate , " the rough and ready irlnter , better than any other class on earth 'The western printer learns by a harder lesson than his eastern brother. He has no typo foundry around the corner , where 'he can buy the type the business office want * . The western printer gets Into everything ex cept Jail.

" Donnelly Speak * . Every one In the hall rose and applauded when Samuel B. Donnelly was Introduced to respond to the toast , "The International Typographical Union. " After acknowledg ing this warm greeting ho said : "When ] came here tonight a friend of mine said : Talk about New York all you like ; you're up against the real thing now. ' I guess 1 am. I am very glad to bo here , too. An eastern man associated with trades unionIsm - Ism told mo some tlmo ago that J. would find the unions In the west very weak , thai they were made up of the most radical men who wore long hair and talked free sil ver. ( Laughter. ) But I find In the wesl unions that for strength cannot bo excellec and It Is from the western cities that yeai after year come In the reports : 'There anne no non-union printers here. ' ( Applause. ] "Thla city could give 'the staid old towr of Boston many pointers on trades unionism For years the typographical union In Beater has tried to get In the women , but wlthoul success. I am glad to see the women her < tonight. It shows that you have succeeded where others have failed. This is Important You should have the women In your union The men are the wage earners , but it'i usually the women who disburse the money No matter how high the scale of wages ma ] be the happiness of the home depend * 01 the disbursements. "The printer of today has all of the gock qualities of the old Missouri river prlntei and not quite so many ot his vices. Thi International Typographical union is toda ] the strongest labor union in the country At the coming election ot the Amerlcai Federation of Labor we will cast no lesi than one-eighth of the entire vote. In mori than 300 towns we today maintain our scali of wages. This Is not because of the mono ; at our backs , but because ot the grit am determination of the men in the union. Wi have been generally successful In our cam palgn for a shorter work day and there 1 only one city where there Is a strike now In Plttsburg there are thirty printers out The object of the executive council Is , be fore organizing any new unions , ti strengthen those In the principal cities am towns that may now be weak. Wo can d most good by building up strong unions li the largest cities and towns. Wo bellev every situation In the composing room come within the scope of the union and for tha reason would admit the machinists to th union. We favor the maintenance of th referendum system of voting. We beltev In the discussion of economic questions li trade union meetings. "It is through the slow process of thor ough education and complete organlzatlo that we will gain our final victory. In Beaten ton a few days ago they were.dlscussln a scale that wouldn't be tolerated In Oman ten minutes. It allowed the business man ager and foreman to combine and glv thirty-six hours' work to one man and forty two to another , thus hoping to break dow the scale of wages and keep down any agl tators. The International Typographic ! union will be a leader in considerately die cussing the great economic questions ot th day. It will go on with trades unlonlsn It will follow no false gods. By the al ot good men , men who stand well In th community , It will carry on Its work till th wage earners control the wealth of the Ian and have something to say about Its gov ernment. " ( Great applause. ) Herbert Foster , representing the pret feeders , whistled a couple of selections 1 an enjoyable manner. Labor Union Heard From. ! President Bell of the Central Labor unlo CONDITION OF THE WEATHER Forecast for Nebraska Probably Warmer ; Vurlnblo Wind * , Yeiterday' * temperature at Omahat spoke of the great assistance the printers had given to the business of organized labor employed in building the Transmtsslsslppl Exposition and paid a high compliment to Fred M , Youngs of the Pressmen's union , who wn * the laboring men's representative on the exposition directory. "The head ot the Department of Buildings and Grounds recently said that this exposition was the cheapest and best constructed ever known. Although he didn't mean It that way , he thereby paid the highest compliment ever extended to trades unionism. " William Mauptn then read an original bit of rhyme. Victor Roaewater , managing editor of The Bee , was the last speaker.

This fact Is particularly gratifying , as ha United States government U already Ivlng considerable attention to the best means at hand to redeem the pledge It will , je placed under by the treaty of Paris to ccure the release of the Spanish prisoners eld by the Philippine natives. There are bout GOO clerical prisoners and the gov- rnment is confident their captor * will dc- Iver them up on proper representation ! rora General Otis and Admiral Dewey , made , possibly , through Consul Wlldman.

" Anderson was hanged at 3:10 : and died eas ily. ily.WASHINGTON WASHINGTON , Dec. 9. Anderson' * crime has attracted widespread attention , being a sea tragedy of singular romance and atrocity. The schooner Olive Becker sailed from Boston laden with lumber for a point on the river Platte , Brazil. When 150 miles off the coast of Brazil , Anderson , a Swede , bad an altercation with the captain. When the latter retired to the cabin he followed and shot the captain dead. Then he armed himself and went on deck , where , mounted on the forecastle , h terrorized all on board. The mate , who was aloft , was called down , and while pleading for hla life was uhot four times. Then the crew were ordered to throw the mate overboard , and , on protesting that he was not dead , wera assured that "he was dead enough. " This done , the crew were marched below at the point of a pistol and ordered to throw the captain's body overbiard. Then Anderson directed that oil be thrown over the lumber , after which the oil-soaked ship was set on fire and the murderous crew took to the boats. Anderson was apprehended at Bahla , Brazil , and sent north on the United States gun boat Lancaster. He was tried and convicted In tbe United States court at Norfolk , Va. , and a stubborn fight was made up to the supreme court , the conviction being con firmed. The last move was an application for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that Anderson' * constitutional rights wer * Invaded when the lower court assigned him counsel Instead of giving him counsel of bit own choice. Chief Justice Fuller , In an nouncing the court's opinion , said th * record of the case showed that no funda mental right had been denied Anderson , bu ( tne latter had b en represented from first to last by able counsel. The time when counsel was not present was at a pre liminary hearing of Anderson , but this was not used In the subsequent trial. Tha decision ot the lower court was affirmed.
