For six long days she had fussf and fumed and fretted llko a spoiled bat InBtead ot the mature matron thut she I Even yesterday she appeared with her cui ternary frown and seemed disposed to bo i unlovely as ever. But the bright , glowlr faces and happy voices of 15,000 noya ; , T Klrls could not bo withstood. After a coup ot hours she began to relent. The soddi clouds broke hero and there In tiny rifts < white. Then the blue sky peeped throus and a long , slanting ray ot sunlight Hit mined the raw atmosphere and rosU caressingly on the golden dome of the Go' ' crnment building. The rifts broadened at the clouds were rent Into fragments th : were hurried toward the horizon by tl elmrp morning breeze. The single sunoea VIIB multiplied until It merged Into the fu ladlance of the October morning and gai back the dazzling beauty of building at landscape that had been stolen by tl v Bomber cloud shadows of the week. "Why , It doesn't look llko the same plac Iocs It mamma ? " queried a maiden of half dozen winsome summers , as the gorgcoi brilliancy swept over dome nnd colonnad And It didn't , for the beauties that h : elumbered In the shadow burst Into no glory In the sunlight. The dull white i the buildings became alabaster and the ru ; not tints of the landscapes burned with tl brightest autumn colorings. It was noc altogether the same show th the sun looked on Just before lu > said fan well a week ago. The glowing green of le ; and flower was no longer unbroken. Tht : wcro streaks of russet and crimson and go otid hero nnd there the llowcrs that ht bloomed HO lavishly were blighted in : \v1tht > red by the snow and frost. Some ' the vines that had luxuriated In the out-o thc-way corners shrunk closer In the w.al mid half-dead leaves rattled ominously winter winds. Even the cannao that hi clung to life as though reluctant to clc theli- eyes on so much beauty wcro not Ic unmarked and only hero and there a bio Bom remained to smile back a greeting the blue sky. But If the frost had stoli eo'.ne of the summer beauty it left the glci and color of autumn. The bright tints which It robbed the flowers were scatter lavishly over the shrubs and foliage and tl effect was even moro beautiful than befoi H seemed most fitting that during Its la days the AVhlto City should be robed In t colors of the departing season and no o seemed to regret the change.

Tt first thing that was decided was that tb Philippine republic should not countcnanc any policy that should be agreed upo whereby Spain would have anything furthi to do with the Island and would resli by force of arms any such measure. A vote was taken on annexation to th American republic and annexation was di elded upon by a large majority , some 700 01 of 800 voting In favor of annexation. Agu ualdo now expresses himself as personal ! In favor of annexation , adding that ho do < not guarantee that the natives generally wl support such a policy. When Interviewed by the Associated Pre : representative- September 11 Agulnalc stated that his army consists of 37,000 it surgents regularly armed and equipped wll modern weapons , and that ho had son 0,000 prisoners of war at that time , includlt the larger portion now being held In tl vicinity of Manila. He stated that an am of 100,000 could easily be raised to fight fi the cause of Independence , adding that "li deed the whole population 'Is willing i fight for the cause of Independence or would oppose any Eurocan power taklt possession. " Whnn asked how It was that some natlvi openly declare ithemselves In favor of ai ncxatlon to America , ho stated that natlv who profess to favor annexation are Insli cere 'in what they say. They are mere trying to ascertain the general sentiment Intentions of the Americans. He exprcssi himself as entertaining the greatest frlen ship for the American people , adding th ho hoped there would be no trouble b tween the republic of the Philippines ai the republic of America. He entertains tl Idea that America and the Philippines a two Bister republics , allied together ai lighting a common enemy the Spanlanl He thinks that Hio American missions-lie 1'n these Islands has been accomplished 1 the destruction of the Spanish fleet ai the forcible surrender of the city of Manll and expects that the Americans will BOI withdraw their forces , leaving the Insu gents to control the Islands. Dlnurm AmerleiiUH in IiixnrKCnt Mm For some time past the insurgents ha been debarring Americans passing throuj their lines , but Agulnaldo disclaimed ha luc authorized anv such conduct on the pa of his men.

The captain of t company nearly precipitated hostilities ordering the Americans to withdraw with tweutv minutes and issued orders to i men to Intimidate the American officer nbcv his order to withdraw and further refiiKlne to allow the reinforcements whl had brrn npnt for to reach the outpost. Agulnaldo was very emphatic In stall that the Klllnlno who thus attempted obstruct the movement of the America was onlv a pretended ofllcer of the Insurge army and was entirely unconnected thei with.

Judge Hayward opened the meeting wit a thlrty-mlnuto address that caught th crowd. Mr. Melklejohn made a magnificent speed covering most of the prominent features national politics , and the Issues brought foi ward by the recent war with Spain. In th course of his speech Mr. Melklpjohn pal his respects to the yellow Journals In tl following manner : My attention has been called to the hyj terlcs of certain yellow Journals regardln the appointment of Dr. Huldokoj-.er , and am asked why this appointment was mad I cheerfully comply with the request at will do anything further In my power to ri Hove the distress of these unhappy Journal Dr. Huldekoper was the surgeon general i the Pennsylvania National Guard , havlr held that position for eight years. In h application for the appointment ho had the endorsement that of the soldiers and ofl ccrs ot the great state of Pennsylvania , wl had been associated with htm for years ai who knew his capacity and fitness belt than anyone cleo. Certainly the D.000,01 of people of Pennsylvania the second sta In the union the state which had honon him with a similar position , knew him be tr and could Judge of him more fairly thr the political unfortunates and Intcllectu misfits who publish yellow Journals. I sta positively there was absolutely no politic pressure brought to bear to secure his n ] polntracnt. The considerations which go crnetl the appointment of Dr. Huldckop were precisely the same as those which coi trolled the department In the nppolntme of Dr. Glfiln for a like position from th state and which obtained In the appolntme of other officers from other states. It Is a most significant fact , and 01 which will not escape the attention of eve fair-minded man. that after weeks ot crl i Iclpm , agitation and abuse on the port ' these newspapers we have yet to hear tl I first complaint as to either the ability j conduct of Dr. Huldekoper. In such clrcur stances I do not think these newspaper n tacks merit the serious consideration cither the public or myself and I refuse dignify them by further attention. In connection with these remarks tl following official telegram was read : "WASHINGTON , Oct. 22.

( Copyright , 1S9S , by Press Publishing Co LONDON , Oct. 22. ( New York Won Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Short ot a actual declaration of war , the relations bi twecn England and France could not I more critical than they are at I ho nredDi moment. The Drltlsh and the French cab nets arc In a castlron dilemma , from whlc there Is no .apparent pacific escape. Tl French premier , M , Urlsson , Is not stror enough to climb down from his untenab position , while the British prime mlnlstc Lord Salisbury , is absolutely precluded I his own colleagues' public declarations , , well as by the unanimous fccllnj of t ! country from receding one Inch from tl demand for the withdrawal of Marchai from Fashoda. A heated controversy Is In progress b twcen the London and the Paris press ov the accuracy of the statement made by tl latter that negotiations have been under wi slnco Lord Salisbury restated the Brltl ; case In his dispatch of October 3. I ci state on the best authority that although i negotiations In a diplomatic sense ha taken place slnco that date Sir Edmui Monson , the Hrltlsh ambassador at Par ! has seen M.

Delcasse , on his side , Intimated that England should express a wish to ha Fashoda handed over to the king of t Belgians pending the result of negotlatlo Franco could withdraw. Marchand. Tl solution Ambassador Monson definitely d dined. Public feeling here Is exasperated by t alleged 'Inconclusive character of Marcbam report. It'Is regarded merely as a Fren trlck-Vbeller"Id whliti'lllo' Tlihes''o't'lod gives countenance. Order * for Arms. Meantime military nnd naval prepat tlons are being pushed forward here Btcadl The Birmingham Small Arms factory li received an order for 80,000 Lee-Mctfo rifles and the government factories a working overtime turning out rifles um' ' the utmost pressure. A large portion the volunteers still have only the Marti Henry rifle , and the immediate object the War department Is to rearm them ui formly with the regulars. At the weekly muster ot the voluntci In London today the number of men w turned out was 30 per cent In excess of 1 average , and this without any special i peal. Enlisting with the regulars , ivh received a great Impetus after the capti of Omdurman , shows a still further crease throughout the country during i last week , while In London an cxceptlona largo access of recruits to the voluuti regiments Is reported. \nval Preparation * . The naval preparations are less under public view , but are none the less sign cant. Orders have been given at the gi ernment dock yards to keep the ships cl as far as Is possible. None but essenl repairs will undertaken unless they < be completed within forty-eight hours. The great private yards throughout British Isles have been called upon to port what war ships are under constri tlon for foreign powers , how soon they i bo made ready for aca and what accomn datlons are available for urgent repairs war ships. The admiralty officials claim that i British fleet Is In a condition of compl preparedness. They are as confident being able to dispose of the French II as the United States wcro of vanquish ! the Spanish fleet. The new forty-six ton gun mounted twenty-five British battleships and cruise which It Is claimed can pierce three feet the hardest armor known , is the sh anchor of the British navar experts. Tl expect marvelous achievements from It. I hear that the duke of york has forwari an application to the admiralty for cmpli mcnt as captain of a first class cruiser the event of war. Sleze Murehiinil Flrnt. It Is now stated hero on ofilclal authorl as was cabled last week , that the first of war will bo the seizure of Marchand i his denortatlon to Cairo. This would bo p ceded bv notice to the French sovcrnni' ' j allowing sufficient tlmo to communic with Marchand by way of Khartoum.

HORLEY TO WRITE IT English 8tfltcmnn Is Selected to Act of Gladstone's Biographer. HE IS EMINENTLY FITTED FOR THE TASK Will Ketire from Politics and Give All Dig Time to tha Work BROTHER OF A LORD HELD TO BE A FELON Sentenced for Passinp Worthless Oheck on His Landlady. NEW LAW DRIVES ROGUES OUT OF LONDON Otncern Makr It Warm I of ThoNc Men Who Mve on the KN o ( Depraved AVomun. ( Copyright , 1S9S , by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , Oct. 22. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) John Morley - ley , the eminent liberal statesman and writer , has been chosen by the Qladstona family to wrlto Mr. Gladstone's life. The only obstacle to his selection from the firs ! was his agnosticism , which , It was thought , might unfit him for dealing with the re ligious sldo of Mr. Gladstone's character and career. No llring English statesman was more horoughly in sympathy with Mr. Gladstone , both mentally and politically , or Is better equipped of personal knowledge and In- Imacy , to glvo an Idea of the man himself , t Is predicted that Mr. Morley will devot'i himself to his herculean labor for the next 'e\v years , withdrawing to a great extent ! rom politics. This will leave the Irish 'toruo ' rule cause with only one really sin cere , uncompromising advocate among tu Iberal leaders Lord Spencer. The Hon. Bernard Potro , brother of tha present Lord Potro , has been sentenced to six months' Imprisonment for passing a worthless check for $100. Ho Is only 21 years old , but the Judge took a strong view of his conduct , as the fraud was perpetrated on Petre's landlady , although ho had an ac count at the bank on which the , check wai drawn. The sentence Is regarded as excess ive and an effort Is being made to get It reduced. Mnkn Tlietimrlven Senree. Parliament passed a bill at the last session giving R > the police power to prosecute ns rogues and vagabonds men who live on the earnings of certain women. Hitherto they wcro secure from Interference , and their number grew to such proportions as to con stitute a horrlblo scandal. Since this ucn has come Into operation the police have been active In hunting the men to whom It was meant to apply , but have discovered thai the vast bulk of them have left the country. In an area In the 'joart of the West End , Including Regent street ) , Oxford Htrc'eit nnU Schor wbero foreign women mainly rpaluc , the police had made out n list of nearly -IOO of these men , Intending to prosecute them when the act came into force , but except a very few all have decamped. They ate liable Co olx months' Imprisonment If con victed. Several have been sentenced to that punishment already In various pans of the town. Many of the so-called massage establish ments in reality are nothing better than hot-bods of vlco and blackmailing. Thsy aio openly advertised on posters through UK- West End streets , yet the police declare that them Is no legal remedy unless the places are complained of by neighboring household ers. ers.Tho The attorney general has decided that the owners of the establishment ) * are not reached by the now act unless they happen 10 b" men , which Is a condition easily ovadcd , FO the government will Introduce u bill at the next session of Parliament requiring every massage establlshmon'J to have a government license. NO MORE SPACE TO BE HAD American ICxhllillnr.i at I'arU Mn t Content Theinriclvex with I'ri-N- cnt Condition * . ( Copyright , 1S9S. by Press Publishing- ) PAIUS. Oct. 22. ( New York World Cable gram Special Telegram. ) The special cable concerning space at the exposition has been rccabled here and has raised no end of a rommotlon. To set at rest conflicting reports , I again visited the French exposition author- Itips today and It Is an uncontrovertlblo fact that the United States will have no moro soace In the We fair than that already allotted lust what I cabled. With all the coed will nosslble the authorities say they cannot accord nn Inch moro ; that they have not the snaco to ulvo. In aplto of all the talk to the contrary , when the American rnmmlt loner and his assistants wtatei that they have all the space they desire , they only make the best of the situation. "All thev deslro" Is all they can get. It IB high time for exhibitors to realize the eltuatlon nnd to conform their exhibits to the lim ited quarters. Another Important thing Is that there will bn no separate bulldingo for the various nations. All the foreign exhibits will bo arranged In sections according to the class. In the French buildings , for example , all the harvest machines of every nation will be arranged together , sldo by side Ameri can. German , English , etc. This rule win be followed In all clatiseB of exhibits and the French authorities therefore strongly advlso American exhibitors to arrange for collective exhibits. Although the system may not please many exhibitors , It Is cer- Ulnlv a practical method , and the only one , the French authorities claim , that will ad mit of a fair representation of the whole rnuntrv. Hero Is the exact text of M. Plcard's ofil- oljil statement In the matter : "I know of the dream which haunted Mr. Peck during hlfi voyage across the Atlantic a dream of an Immense , vast American uprtlon. and it Is with real regret that we ncknowledce that wo cannot realize his beautiful dream. The grand Paris exposi tion Is obliged to reply ; 'No , sir , we are not the exposition of Chicago. I have given all I can : even more. As early as 18UU , the other great nations asked for their spnco nnd according It wo did not forget our Aliter nation. Wo kept her part. Handy rnalized thin. Resign yourecdvcn to the necessary selection. Make collective exhib it * . Your success will be greater , more In- cnattatlble. and Franco wlU applaud you. ' " GUACI5 CORNEAU. r HACK IN WAMIIMSTOX.
