When , after two hours of dlscussloji , talc-
Ing A Wldo range , the Spaniards wcro pressed
for defln'o statement * they pleaded that
they had not received Instructions from Mad
rid. Thereupon the American * declared , In
diplomatic phraseology , that It was useless
to waato time In debate with men who were
not empowered 4o make bargains. Although
adjournment woe taken till tomorrow , II Is
probable thcro will be a further postpone
ment till Monday. ' .
The Spaniards' v hton.oklodafr'i.'scsslOn t
that they asked td haw the treaty concluded
first and thcnHh * mihof matters discussed.
According to 'roports'frdroAintrUan .wurccs *
the Spanish comraUslpncrs endeavored to
draw hints fui to how"far the Americans were
willing -to comprbmlie. ' th6demands undur

This disk of embodying may bo long drawn

sideration. A 'to < ju c9tloca yet unsettled ,
whlph do not concern territorial or financial
Interests , both commissions display , laudable
anxiety to promote the welfare of the In
habitants Involved.
Aa .American commissioner remarked to
the i correspondent of the Associated Prcsat
"Wo. realize that these people are to become
our subjects , and we desire to secure for
them\all their rights and privileges. Wp
keep In mind the Interests of Spanish citi
zens In the territories changing hands , an
well as of others. Our Spanish friends ex-
hlbft a willingness to co-operate In this
work if guaranteeing the rights of the people
ple 'they ' are'Ooslng , a willingness that must
command 6ur respect , for we realize that
they "might make the task much more dif
ficult If. they were disposed to display a re
sentful'spirltt"
Among the problems of the foregoing na
ture , to whch ( the commissioners nro de
voting much'attentlon , Is that of the courts.
Both commissions desire , as , far as poslble ,
to arrange that contracts entered upon and
lawsuits brought under the Spanish reglmo
may be' Transferred to the Jurisdiction , of
Iho American "courts , so that the litigants
may Icjsa no'rJght through the change of

cmbnrasslng problem" fablnV "tUe United
States , that springs out from "their novel
Imperial policy , " says : "It Is impossible to
view the policy disclosed In Secretary Alger's
report as complete or even intelligible until
It is known what' the Washington govern
ment means to do for the navy. ' If the
Philippines are to be effectively occupied ,
large navy and transport force will be neces
sary. The United States must show them
selves ready to repel any attempt on the
part of other powers to attack portions of
the" territory or to assert a claim to ft share
In'thp spoils of the disorganized conquest. "
LONDON , Dec. 2. The Paris correspond
ent of the. Standard says : The peace commissions -
missions have agreed not to mention the
Cuban or Philippine debt In the treaty , be
cause ! It might lead to misapprehension. The
American commissioners have Indicated to
thq,8pantrd | jthat these debts cannot possi
bly , In law , right or equity , by saddled , upon
orrna'16'suffer the oppressive'Si > anlBhl"rYile , '
from which they are aeeklng-to free'them
selves. '
' LONDON , ' Dec. 3. The Madrid 'corre
spondent of the Dally News Bays : It In
officially announced that the Spanish peace
commissioners have secured a concession
granting Spain commercial advantages in
tho. Philippines for ten years. An effort will
bo jiiade to secure a similar concession In

AFFLICTED MONARCH
THE EMPEROR OF GERMANY
Is a Victim of Gbronic Catarrh
Producing a Running Ear.
.
EMl'EUOR WILLIAM OP GERMANY.
The emperor of Germany has a running
ear. A rather prosy statement to make
of so great a personage ; It is true never
theless , and , what Is worst , he can find no
cure. This greatest of emperors , this
autocratic ruler of the greatest of nations ,
can find no euro for such a eeemlngly In
significant malady. Just think of It ; a man
at whose beck one of the strongest armies
and navies of the whole earth could be sot
In motion , a man whoso rule Is absolute
over the country ot medical universities ,
man whose slightest caprice could press
Into service the most noted servants and
philosophers on earth , has a running car
and Is unable to find a curel
Now cpntrast the experience of the fol
lowing citizens of the United States with
the emperor of Germany. Like the em
peror , they failed to nnd a cure. But , un
like the emperor , they happened to bo plain
clttrena of the United States , rather than
the center of the Inner court of the most
exclusive and carefully guarded aristocracy
of the world ; * In his position nothing but
the remedies that
have met the approv
al of the most fas
tidious medical or
thodoxy could ever
reach him. In the
position of these
American cltlzanu ,
y however , they had acV -

Dr. Hartman. erty to try anythlng
they chos3. They chose to try the remedy
that bad cured others llko themselves , and
thus they found a cure.
Running ot the ears , deafness or all other
affections ot the middle ear are duo pri
marily to chronic catarrh. Running of the
ear Is properly callel chronic suppuratlvo
catarrh. Pe-ru-na will euro catarrh of the
middle mrt as well aa catarrh Jocated elao-
'
where. . 'v .This .has beep proven overnnd
over again in innumerable cases besides.tho
ones just mentioned. Deafness and run
ning of the ear are but symptoms of
chronic catarrh ot the middle ear. Pc-
ru-na cures the catarrh ; when the symp
toms disappear , whether It be Tunning cars
or deafnero or any other affection of the
middle ear. The remedy Is compounded
according to the formula originally devised
by Dr. Hartman of the Surgical Hotel , Col
umbus , O. , the noted catarrhal authority.
Following are a few cases of catarrh of
the middle ear In which a permanent euro
was made by the use of Pb-ru-na. These ,
of course , are only examples of the many
thousands of cases which Dr. Hartman has
cured. The first case , Mr. Amos B. Mil
ler , Mechanic's
Grove , Pa. , Is
one of chronlo
suppuratlvo ca
tarrh ot the ear
of 28 years'
standing , which
produced a con
stant discharge
from both cars.
Thla man Is
now entirely
cured and Is a
living witness
lo the fact that y |
Pe-ru-na can
'cure such cases.

The Jury In the Lumsdcn murder case
returned a verdict this morning of not
guilty. A wall of discontent went up from
the crowd when tbo clerk announced the
verdict. Judpo Rucker cays It Is the strong
est case of circumstantial cvlJence he ever
listened to. Many of the jury say they bo-
deaf. I then applied to Dr. Hartman , wh <
cured my cars perfectly. I now hear ai
