( Copyright , ISM , by Press Publishing Co , ) MADRID , Jan. 28.

"All this , however , Is surely hypothet ical , " says Sagasta , "as we cannot form nn opinion or pronounce until we tire officially Informed cf the drift of events at Washing ton. My Intention Is decidedly to convoke the fortes In the middle of February whether the treaty Is latllled or not then In Washington. " I have carefully noted what the Madrid press said the lost fortnight and have sounded men of all parties and classes with out finding anybody supposing that the peace treaty or the relations between Spain und the United States can he affected If the annexation of the Philippines Is abandoned for independence on condition that all dausps of the Paris treaty arc carried out.

The editor of Epocn , chief organ of the conservative pirty , says : "Certainly most Spaniards would accept the peace treaty all the same If the Philip pines were put In a position Identical with Cuba , though , in their opinion , Spain would prefer to see America annex , because the Spanish material Interests of all kinds still extant In the Philippines would be better protected by America than by the natives , whom the Spaniards believe Incapable ot self-government " The editor of HI Correo , chief organ of the liberal party and ministry , Senator K ir- roras , cannot sec what difference It would make as regards Spanish ratification of the peace treaty whether the Philippines were treated like Cuba by the United States , ns the present government ceded all rights to Spain over the archipelago to the United Stites Scnor Abamiza , n leading member of the recent peace commission , slid today : "Spain , In my opinion , would not , nor would any civil or free nation , accept the treaty It modified so as to create an Independent Filipino government. You might as well ghe autonomy to the monkeys as give It to the rillpluos. No country could posalblv agree to risk He commercial Interests by dealing with a so-called Filipino g-overn- mcnt. Would America herself like her commercial Interests to have only n single guarantee of such a government ? It would bo no guarantee at all. Accordingly , If the treaty bo amended as suggested It ceases to bo a treaty , signed by Spain , and a serlou * position arises , as since tlio treaty becomes null matters go back to the status quo at the time of the protocol.

( Copyright. 16"9. by Pi ess Publishing Co. ) LONDON . Jan. 28. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Or gan Grinder Illnton's claim to the earldom of I'oulctt promises no be one of the cause cclebico of the century. It has completely diverted attention from the much moro shadowy Druce claim to Portland duchy and excites the most eager discussion In all the press. The legitimacy on which Hlnton's claim turns Is one of great subtlety and delicacy. The late earl took proceedings In ' 1889. called "In perpetuation ot testimony , " to prove that the organ grinder's mother was incelnte when he married her and had been living as wife with a man named George Tumour , almost up to the day of the mar- rlago and had christened the son , afterward born , William Tumour Thomas Poulett. The earl nvorred he had never lived with bar as man and wife. These pleas are extremely difficult to maintain to the satisfaction of the legal mind. Ono great Issue In the Poulett suc cession will bo that such pleas have been upheld before. The last case was that of the eon of the countess of Ajlesford , who had eloped with the late duke of Marlbor- ough. She styled thla son Lord Ouersey , that being the second title of her husband , the carl of Ayleeford , but on satisfactory evidence the court declared the case turned on the medical question whether a child can be born and survive within six months of marriage. On this the medical faculty tolds diverse views , and , obviously. It Is Impossible uf absolute proof , the presump tion being ngalnst U , but her son , "a stranger In blood , " Is deprived of his rights of succession to the Ayleaford peerage. Thla half brother of the duke of Marlborough - ough Is now a cavalry olllcer. IlnnKliigr on the Future. The organ grinder , of course , expresses absolute confidence that be will succaed , and epeaks with patronizing pity of Earl Poulett's younger son by his third wife. This lad tears a remarkibly close re- somblancn to Earl Poulett , while Hlnton , the organ grinder , does not suggest the re motest likeness to him , either In com plexion , features or figure. Speaking of the matter , Hlnton speculated ( rccly on his fu ture as earl. He said : "I shall live probably at Fratton , near Portsmouth , where I am well known , hav ing performed there with my organ every seabon for years. The family mansion prob ably will bo too expensive for me to keep up , and I shall let It. I shall do all I can for the poor , asi I have known their suffer ings , though I cannot say I ever felt the pinch of hunger myself. I shall cultivate a hobby for fretsaw work and keep a motor car when I can get a tellable one. I shall take part In the proceedings of the House of Lords , where my experiences will enable me to speak with knowledge on many social subjects of which my follow peers know nothing. " Still the prospect of this sudden change from poverty und toll to affluence does not excite Hlnton. He shows no excitement , there la no sound of Joy In his voice , he epeaks wearily and perfunctorily , not from aristocratic boredom or Indifference , but be cause he Is manifestly broken In spirit and body. He has waited too long. There were rumors today of a compromise. Hlnton ab solutely , denies them , and It Is difficult to 9fo how u compromise could be arranged , ns the committee on privileges of the House of Lords will Invo to bo sitisfled and will recognlzn no arrangement between the clalmantH. Tomtom onloe to Mnrlliorough. The duke of Marlborough , having been sounded by Lord Salisbury , Is said to have signified that he could not accept an Austra Han governorship , soon to be vacant. His principal reason Is that the duchess docs not care to leave England , especially as the Australian climate Is often very Injurious to children. The eldest Marlborough babe , Loid Illandford , Is extremely pretty , with golden hair and tbo freshest pink and white coloring. The duchess has Just had a mlnla ture of him painted. His head , on a back ground of blue clouds , looks quite angelic. Tbo duke and duchess are guests ot Rarl and Countess Spencer for a great country ball. The duchess Is greatly enjoying the round of balls she has attended lately , thta being the first winter since her marriage when It was possible for her to go in for these country house gaieties. The Marlborougbs have finally determined not to rent Sefton house , Belgrave square , and are looking in Ma ) fair for a town resi dence. By the way , the earl of Sefton , who has long been suffering from what was thought to be permanent mental derflngc- roent resulting from a cricket ball blow on the head , Is making nn amazing recovery. Ills illness seemed so hopeless that only a short tlmu ago the trustees of the Sefton estate made arrangements by which a younger bro'Jhcr ' , Osbert Molly Neut , should have sufficient Income to enable him to re side at the family seat. Croxtcth , and keep up the property. But now Lord Sefton will once moro take his place. Klnllni ; .Vot to Ilr Interviewed.

A local merchant drove to the council chamber for the first meeting of the corporation on an alderman car , paid the alderman "Jarvey" six pence fare , was sa luted with "thank you , sir. " and then both walked together , the "Jarvey" taking his se.it nmong the aldermen while the pros perous merchant subsided Into the compara tive obscurity of the councillor's bench.

Jan. 2S. vSpeclal Telegram ) There was no vote on United States senator oda > , the two houses having adjourned over rom Friday to Monday. For thla reason tie senatorial situation has bren very quiet , learly all of the members of the legislature laving cone homo and the boiim workers. having little material to work upon , have emporarlly closed up their headquarters. Tbo result of two weeks' voting has been .en ballots taken , one on each consecutive lay. Compared with the closing ballot of ast week the ballot of Friday discloses few chances. All the funlonlsts me still voting or Allen , as ther have b"en from the tlrst , and nil of them but one have taken care to jo present. The Webster vote and Thomp son vote are uncnangcd. Hayward'n vote Ksterdnv was 33. whereas ho closed the first week with 39. It Is In the Hay ward column that Uu- greatest change has taken place , his mni- mum of 43 having been reached on thn scv- ? nth ballot Tuesday with a loss no far of trn votes. Ono of these In an nosentce , who can still be counted for him , while It la doubtful -whether the other absentee will again record himself In the Haywerd column. Flejd Octn n. Bciirflt. The defection from Hoyward has scattered over the field , the chief benefit going to Judge Klcld , who , after having been elim inated from the list , has again shown up live votes , or ono more than be started with. Thn Oago county delegation lias during the week been consolidated upon Weston , the Oago county candidate , while Saline county's representatives , who are supposed to bo to gether , are still divided on thrcu candidates. One of thcso vott-s has been thrown to Van Duscn of Douglas county ns a uop fiom the Thompson camp and It Is whispered that an other one of the Thompson votes may no thrown in the same direction before long. These changes , while apparently Immate rial , have In reality shaken the confidence of the Hav ward men In the success of their cause , and It Is a question whether they can be held together much longer In Riifllclent numbers to Keep Hnyward at the head of the 1'st. ' Hnyward may , however , bo there for tome time yet , especially If those who Icavo him scatter about the field , which they are likely to do. The Increase In the vote for Field has led to some speculation as to the probable action of the Lancaster delegation should ho make a showing of strength In excess of that disclosed by Thompson. Homo profess to licllcve that any time Judge Field could get ten votes from the outside counties u part at leant of the I aneaster delegation would bo compelled te go to him. This be- llcf IB founded on the fact that certain members of the delegation were originally Field men and half pledged to vote for him. On the other hand , It IH plain that the Field vote has been piled up for this very pur pose , with tlio Idea of drawing support from under Thompson and will therefore bo dis counted by them In advance. Effort * ( or it Cauonn. Efforts to transfer the senatorial flght to a republican caucus during the last week have proved Just ac fruitier as heretofore. A caucus paper has been handed around all week emanating from the Hayward follow ers and conditioned on a two-thirds vote by roll call , but signatures have come v < ry slowly and not even all the Hayward men have yet signed. Unless the deposition of members changes no caucus on those condl- tloDK can bo secured. The truth Is the members are not yet ready to caucus any more than are the candidates thcnihelvea , and the public may expect the struggle to continue In the open house for several days , If not for a week. While the advent of Senator Allen the first of the week gave all the candidates und workern the scare of their llfo they seem to nave gotten over It entirely and to have fccttlcd down for selge operations , It Is foolish to venture prediction ? on the length of the contest , yet It would not be surpris ing If another week's fruition billotlng would ensue. Some ono asked John L Webster the question whether ho had en gaged hie quartern by the month and ho replied1 "I am afraid they are charging mo for them at transient rates , but 1 might Just as well have engaged them for the month " This view U shared also by a number of other candidates who have practically gone Into winter quarters here \VfoU In the Sonnto.
