Bob\u2019\u2019 Evans Ill.Washington, D.C., August \u201822\u2014The State Dept, received a call to day from M.Thle-haut.Secretary of the French Embassy and in charge daring the absence of Ambassador Cambon, who bore a notification from the Spanish Government of the Military Commissioners for Cuba and Porto Rico.Under the Peace Protocols each Government was to name its Military Commissioners within ten days, their meetings to begin within thjrty days.The ten days were up to-day and^ac cordingly Spain gave the official notice of the appointments.They are as follows :\u2014 For Cuba : Major General Gonzales Parra-do, Rear-Admiral Pastor Î Landero, Marquis Montero.For Porto Rico : Major-General Ortega Y Diaz, Commodore of first rank Vallarino Y Carracco, Judge Advocate Sanchez DeL\u2019A-guila Y Leon.The foregoing official list differs from some of the lists given in press despatches, which have included Admiral Moutijo, General Blanco, General Macias and several other pro-minent Spanish officers.Considerable significance attaches to the naming of Marquis Montero on the Cuban Commission, as it indicates a purpose on the part of Spain to go into the future Government of Cuba.He is the only Commissioner, Spanish or American, taken from civil life.He it Secretary of the Treasury of the Caban Autonomous Cabinet and all his interests are connected with the Government of Cuba, rather with the military question of the Spanish evacuation of Cuba.He is named, it is believed, in order to carry ont Spain\u2019s desire to have an understanding as to the future Government of the Island, he being intimately familiar with the question of the civil administration of Cuba as Secretary of the Cuban Treasury, he is also very familiar with questions affecting the Cuban debt.New York, Aug.22\u2014The Manila correspondent of the Sun, cabling under date of Sunday last, says :-\u201cThe greatest interest is manifested in the ultimate disposition of the Islands.Englishmen who are in business here are anxious for the Americans to hold the whole group, and many Spaniards believe that this would be the best solution cf the problem.They say that business will be impossible under the conditions that formerly prevailed here and that \u2018Filipinos\u2019 would not be able to establish -\t-\t\"\t\u2018\t* \u2014inaldo London, August 23\u2014The Times this morning referring editorially to the approaching International Conference at Quebec, says : \u2014 \u201cIt is possible that future historians will mark August 23, 1898, as a date of considerable importance in the chronicle of the relations between Great Britain and the United States.It may be hoped that the Quebec Conference will clear away a number of irritating difficulties and view the impending peace negoliations and the prospects of a better understanding between England and the United States as extremely important.The Conference has an imposing list of subjects to deal with and if any real business is to be done there must be a very active tendency to conciliation afn~ng.the Commissioners.We may be sure the United States will do their utmost to make the Conference a success.\u201d .The Standard publishes a similar editorial.It declares that anything bringing Canada and the United States into closer and more amicable relations is a gain for both England and the United States.The Daily Ntm, referring to the coming International Conference at Quebec, says: \u2014 \u201cIt is a happy angury that the Conference meets in the Capital of old French Canada, which oity years ago was the seat of the Conference that led to the Federation of British North America.Tc-day\u2019s gathering may be the first step in a reunion movement before which even the making of the Dominion would pale into insignificance.\u201d BRITISH SOUDAN EXPEDITION.NEWS FROM DOWN SEA.BY THB Tribes Massacred by the Dervishes\u2014 Metemneh a City ot Desolation \u2014 The Advance on

think'ng he had been unfairly treated.The non-commissioned officers of the regiment have discussed the matterpretty thoroughly and a numberof them evidences of the misery and decay.The skillfully built Dervish huts are deserted and crumbling.Metemmeh itself, a town of 5,000 bouses, is now a city of desolation, its houses in ruins, its alleys blocked with skeletons and its oourtyards putrid with corpses.The few natives seen are disposed to be friendly.The second brigade passed there in boats river of Shibluka, within fifty miles of Khar toum, found the passage easy for the gun boats.A

(nnKtrtWaK.then, Arthur ! \" \u201cNot in the \u2022lightest, Harry.\u201d The excuse for taking from a former issue of the Daily Mail this little story of the ingenuons Leader of the Commons and his colleague, who had been making an elaborate statement in ore rotun-do style to a House that did not understand, is that it rather well illustrates in a small way one delightful side of Mr.Balfour.The Leader of the House is nothing if not perfectly frank.Now in his fifty-first year, after twenty-four years in Parliament, he is the innocent child he once compared himself to when an opponent was pestering him over some detail in House of Commons management.He shines out a very star of sincerity amid surroundings where this quality has never been over conspicuous.Party politics must always be something of a game, and in most games it is thé trickiest player who wins.But that is not the way in which Mr.Balfonr will win or lose, for it is clearly not in his nature to be anything save quite open and above board, even where most leaders would not hesitate for a moment to score a point by methods etactly the opposite.Mr.Gladstone once said that men who mixed mnch IN PARTY ÉOt^TICS as played at Westminster were in danger of losing the finer moral sense\u2014an indeed pre* cious possession.Accept it as a fact that Mr.Balfonr has in this matter touched the fire without being scorched, and yon will perhaps be the better able to anderstand some of bln failures as a Parliamentary leader.The goilelessness prevents Mr.Balfonr from gaining many points, small, perhaps, when analyzed, but still Very imporUnt to success in a Front Bench man i and on the other hand, it endears Mr.Balfour to the House as a whole.The House knows that it can absolutely trust his word, that be is never intent on hoodwinking friend or foe.He looks the character, and he is it.I read somewhere the other day that Mr.Balfonr had not the brilliancy of Mr.Chamberlain.It would be much nearer the truth to say that he has not the strenuousness of Mr.Chamberlain.In neatness of speech, in the knack of saying the telling thing at exactly the right moment, in the power of popularising everything which he touches, ReçulatioD College Costumes Of all kinds, as prewar!bed for the Little Seminary of Quebec, the College of Levis,, the Coile^re of Ste.Anne La Pocaiiere, and the Laval Normal Seboo

report that the Eoglish soldiers are starving.A cavalry reconnaiaance was made to a point twenty miles south of Wadhamid, but the parties saw no trace of the enemy.It is learned that the Khalifa is making mining experiments.He recently lowered a box of gunpowder into the river at Kerreri, where the Dervishes expect to give battle, near the gunboat \u201cleinailia,\u201d which is in the Dervishes\u2019 possession.The box exploded prematuraly, killing those who were engaged in the experiments and destroying the gunboat, Much elation is felt over the frustration of the attempt to destroy the British gunboats.At the command of the Commanding Officer all clothing and the instruments were called in when the drill season was over and as a consequence they could not accept the many

British Ministerial organs already cited.Like our own newspapers, the News remarks upon the holding of the Conference in this Capital of old French Oanada, which years ago was the seat of the Conference that led to the federation of British North America, and points out that to-day\u2019s gathering may be the first step in a reunion movement, before which event the making of the Dominion

prosperity and an abundance of cheap money have been irresistible factors on the Stock Exchange.Of course many of the sensational advances of this week can be attributed to manipulation; but such mani pulation would not have been possible did not the favorable conditions exist.As a matter of fact there was much loss mani pulation than usual in a market of the recent magnitude and strength.Profea siotial operators saw the market taken right away from them by the rush of out side buying; and all efforts to check the advance were fruitless for a time, not withstanding heavy realizing and not a little inside selling.In ordinary times Wednesday\u2019s rise would have marked the culmination of a bull movement; but this can hardly be so now, although no surprise need be expressed if the pace

Notes and News.In the Line of an Alliance.While we are talking about an Ang'o.American alliance, a very sensible suggestion comes from that very practical man, Mr.George H.Daniels,General Passenger Agent < f the New York Central Railroad, to the effect that we bring Canada, the Great North American British dependency into closer relations with the United States, by providing some method for an interchange on an equitable basis of the moneys of the two countriee.There is great similarity in appearance between the silver coins of the United States and Canada, and they do not differ much in intrinsic or face value.Yet it is a prac tice of many corporations in the Uuited States to refuse to accept Canadian money, and one often finds himte\u2019f inconvenienced on the street cars or elevated lines wheu he tenders a Canadian ten-cent piece and finds it thrust back at him as nob current, except at a discount.The same discrimination against American money is thown in Canada.Nothing but ao imaginary boundary line separates us from our Canadian neighbors, and in the northern counties of this State Canadian money, by the compulsion of neoeasity, circulates at par, because it would b« difficult to establish a discount or to endeavor to collect it.It would be the easiest thing in the world, we imagine, to establish by agreement between the two countries a clearing house, or clearing houses, if that were necessary, in which the banks could effe t an exchange, without more than trifling oost, of Canadian money and American money.Such a clearing process would obviously facilitate sales and purchases aud the exchange of commodities between the two countries.Where is the financier who will take enfficient interest in this suggestion to put it in practical form and submit it to the authorities ?Why should not this be a part of the practical work of the Commission recently appointed by President McKinley to consider our trade relations with Canada ?\u2014

PHILOSOPHY.TELLING CHARACTER FROM YOUR BONES.Yesterday evil was private enterprise ; our little sins were secret ; the occult myatit'Jtn of ibe East had not revealed the ethics of a Mayfair entertainment.To-day everythi»g is altered.Quixotic modernism encourages science to display our little peccadilloes.Life has become a bore when the oaaual stranger is capable of predicting anything from nothing.Commission is a nightmare, and our pet hobbies are not even self-respecting sins.Tne virtues are no longer manliest.Humanity has been exhaustively probed.And even now, while our skins have grown weary of their characters, materialism robs \u2022 of the privacy of our bones.A constant study of his patients induces Mr.Atkiuson Co believe that the osaiout formation of individuals may be accepted as an indication of character.A professor of veterinary surgery, Mr.Atkinson, has for many years devoted his time to the élabora tion of the principles of animal mechanics as applied to human beings.His system of manipulation has effected cures in numerous cases which have been discarded by the medical profession.He claims that experience in the animal mechanism of the human system is a great aid to the accurate delineation rf character.Mr.Atkinson, with his customary willingness, weut to no Utile tionble to describe his opinions.\u201cThe formation of th« various bones in the head and face reveals partial duplication of the heads of animals.The heavy j iw < f the bull-dog is found in the prize-fighter.Napoleon was of this class.Peace had the canine development, too.We have the short bones of the neck.Tncy indicate apoplectic susceptibilities.Tha l< ng bones\u2014they give the swun-like neck.The long femur is of immense value to athletes.It is u-ually found in the majority of runners.The bones cf the knees\u2014their oizs denotes the strength of ths individual.The tibia and abuia are an important consideration.The knock-knee, weakness of constitution.The bow-leg, devotion to equine exercise.The long heel boue gives power to the jumper.Diminutive tos bon.s are an advantage to ballet danceis.They are of service to the football player.Ths long humerus gives power to boxers and fencers.A Samson or a Sandow would do better with a short humerus.It is more adapted for weight-lifting.Long and flexible bones in the h&ud and wrist are needed by musicians.The artistic tempxramrnt shows itself in the attenuated bone of the small finger.The short aud strong varieties are better for mechanics and artisans.\u201cThe quality of bones affords a field of research.The spongy bone is found in the anatomy of tho Hottentot and South Sea Islander, and those who live on fatty foods or lead quiet lives.The hard bone is found in the athlete\u2014strengthened by exercise.The brittle bone is found iu people who take little nourishment.The occupation of life should coincide with their muscular and osseous development, People who are weak are not suited to a p.ofession demanding great strength and big bones.\u201cBones givo weight, carriage, sensibility.There is great character in the slightest.They are all part of tho system of hû.A study of the frame indicates tho sphere of the person\u2019s activity.To understand it requires contact and constant observation.\u201d \u201cI am contemplating a scries of lectures on the peculiarities of character as developed by the bones.Glimatc affects bones.It is quite possible to detect if any one has been accustomed to a tropical climate.The difference in food reduces the resisting powers of bones.Their resiliency indicates tlin age.Iu the silver leaf of lift; the frame is weaker.In youth, bones lack maturity.In the prime of life they are llm embodiment of perfection, if the constitution is sound.\u201d Now is disci' seJ the subtlety of a \u201ctwinkling toe.\u201d A diminutive bone betokens the dazzle of the footlights.Bad bones load but to divorce.A long femur lias the possibility of Paradise.Tne athlete basks in tho sunshine of a nation\u2019s rapture.Oh, the ills that flesh is heir to\u2014throngh its bones.Before marriage every man has a theory about managing a wife, but after marriage he firds that it\u2019s a condition and not a theory that ootifronts him.Sultan\u2019s Crown Stolen.H.H.the Sultan of Sulu, who is iu Singapore on his return from Mecca, was last night robbed if his crown and jewels.He went to sh op, leaving his window open, and about one o\u2019clock be saw a man in hia room.Thinking it was one of his attendants ho called out to him, and the man bolted.He jumped up, and dashed after him, catching him by one arm ua he jumped out of the window.The thief struggled and got loose, and made away with two despatch-boxes containing a crown set with diamonds and pearls, a gold brooch, and a number of gold rings and earrings, value 13,815Jols.The Saltan also missed from one of the dospaich-koxes a tteaty made between himself and the Sandakau people, the British North Borneo Company, probably.The alarm was immediately raised, and the police aud neighbours joined in the cluse, but the thief got clear.\u2014 Siam
