THE FINAL PREPARATIONS. 1 Of The Articles of The Peace Treaty Conceded Today. IN THE HANDS OF TYPEWRITERS The Spanish Cabinet Agrees Upon Instructions to Senor Rlos For Today's Meeting. By CaDle to The Telegram. Paris, Nov. 30. The American peace commissioners discussed the draft of the treaty article made yester day, by secretaries Moore and Ojeda. The final preparations of those articles were concluded at one thirty, and the revised draft was then turned over to the type-writers, while"the commission ers lunched by two o'clock, in time for the joint session. At this time, however, the typewrit ing was not finished. Two Spaniards arrived first and were quickly followed by the Americans, except Judge Day, and Secretary Moore, who waited for the prepared copy of the articles and arrived at the conference a half hour later. The two commissioners there began a discussion of the formulated proto col agreement and the subjects of ne gotiations which were presented to the joint commission in a form acceptable to the Americans. The commissioners devoted two hous to drafting the first three articles of the pr-ace treaty, dealing with the cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, upon which they were agreed in principle. A general dis cussion of the other articles followed, after which the commission adjourned until tomorrow. SPANISH CABINET MEETS.

Washington, Nov. 29 Senator Pritchard, of Nonh Carolina, will, it is understood, offer at the coming ses sion a resolution for the appointment of a special commit ee to investigate the recent race riots in the south. If the resolution is not adopted, or if no legislation is the result of the pro posed investigation, Senator Pritchard will press the matter at the opening of the Fifty -sixth congress when the re publicans will have a majority in the senate. At the opening of that congress, the Wilmington riots will be brought to the attention of the house by means of the contested election case of Dockery vs. Bellamy-from the Wilmington dis trict. The latter will probably be un seated. Some cf the congressmen most deep ly interested have urged President McKinley to refer to the North Caro lina riots in his annual message and recommend remedial legislation. It is not yet known whether the president will heed the advice or not. Senator Chandler, chairman of the committee on privileges ,and elections, said that some notice would have to be taken of what had happened in North and South' Carolina. Senator Chandler said : "Since the election law was repeal ed, which repeal was designed to end race troubles in the south, lynching has increased, instead of diminished. Lynchings have taken place, not only for insults to women, but for all sorts of alleged oilences, until his year it was supposed that there were very f;w negro killings for political purposes Suppression of negro votes by milder iinjans was supposed to be the method adopted, but it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that in North and South Carolina this month the shot gun was taken up as a political agency to at tain democratic 'ictories Senator Tillman is reported to have said pub licly that there never would be a dem ocratic victory in North Carolina un til the shot gun was resorted to. My personal regard for Senator Tillman is such. that I hope he will be able to disclaim any such uttei ance. 'Though I dislike to have the race question come into politics again, I do not see how it can be kept out if the facts we hear are true. If ihe issue in 1900 is to be what it was in 1856, wheth er the Solid South and New York city and New York state and a few other northern votes can overcome the al most solid north and elect a democrat ic president, there can be but one re sult. The northern heart will be tired quite as warmly as the shot gun will be taken up in the south. The south wiil be defeated. "I hope the question may be avoid ed, but if the president recommends an in restigation and action, an effort will be made to follow his recommen dations. Whether legislation can be enacted it is of course doubtful, but the result of the next presidential election will not be in doubt." SHARKEY IS READY. Will Fight Corbett Again Proceeds to Go to the Poor. New York, Nov. 29 Yesterday in a published interview Corbett was quo ted as saying that he was willing to fijrht Sharkey again for nothing pro viding he was allowed his training ex penses. Today Tom O'Rourke, Sharkey's manager, issued the following card : "Corhett has stated that hewillfight Sharkey for nothing if allowed train ing expenses. Sharkey accepts, pro viding the proceeds go to the poor as a Christmas gift, the press to form a committee who will distribute the mon ey. Let Corbett namo the time, which must not be later than two weeks hence " Buying Conquered Territory. The proposition to pay money to Spain is a disgraceful one. It is sug gestive, of something worse than a mis take. To buy assets that we have con quered is a proceeding manifestly ab surd. No pettifogging about the legal aspects of the case can justify it. The purpose to pay $20,000,000 a sum, by the way, which the Spanish negotia tors seem to regard with contempt stimulates those who are opposed to annexation on any terms. Citizens who might yield their opposition ifthe islands came to us purely as conquer ed territory will assembl-i all the rea' sons for opposition in view of the pro posed indemnity. Cincinatti Enquirer. Notice. All members of G. S. F. E. Co. No 1, are urged to be present at their regular monthly meeting, Thursday, Dec. 1st at 7:30 o'clock. Business of great importance will be transacted. J. T. Abbott, Pres. Harry Louis, Sec. THE HICARAGUAN CANAL, Support of The Project Will Be Pushed In Congress. THE COMPTROLLER APPROVES. The Application of The Piedmont Bank For Conversion Into a National Bank. Special to The Telegra. Washington, Nov. 0 Members of the Senate and House of Representa tives arriving in the city from the south, and especially those from the gulf states, are almost unanimous in their support of the Nicaraguan Canal project. Senators and representatives from the section agree that the efforts to pass the measure will be very earnest during the session about to convene. No doubt is felt of the pas sage of the bill through the senate by a decisive vote, and the prospects seem to be at this time, that consideration of the measure will also be granted in tte house. Senator Morgan, of Ala bama, is doing some earnest work in behalf of the construction of the canal, has been much encouraged by promise of support from unexpected quarters . Members from the east and west, who are not so much interested in the con struction of the canal from a personal point of view, as are the representa tives from the gulf states, will furnish several votes for the passage of the bill through the senate. Among the latest supporters of the bill is Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts. Members of the house from the gulf states express hopes that the republi cans will allow consideration of the bill in the house at the coming session and will probably later in the session petition Speaker Reed in behalf of the bill, but this will not be done until after the passage of the bill now pend ing in the senate. It is said that both Senators Pritch ard and Butler are in favor of the construction of the canal, and that nearly all, if not the entire North Car olina delegation in the house are in favor of the bill, and will unite in urging consideration at the short ses sion. Members of the North Carolina del egation are slow in arriving at Wash ington for the coming session of Con gress. Neither benator Butler nor Senator Pritchard have as yet arrived. Among the members of the house, Mr. Pearson has arrived, but the majority of the delegation have failed, as yet, to put in their appearance. At the places where the North Carolina dele gation usually make their headquar ters while in the city, it is thought that several of the congressmen will arrive within two or three days. Senator Daniel, ofVirginia, arrived in the city Monday night and went to the Metropolitan hotel. Dr. Powhatan S. Dance, whose death is reported to have occurred at his home at Clearwater, Florida, last Wednesday, was a native of the state of Virginia, having been born in Pow hatan county, of that state. He had many friends throughout North Caro lina and Virginia, and it is said that in former years he was a frequent visitor to this section of the country. The Comptroller of the Currency has officially reported his approval of the application of the Piedmont Bank, of Greesboro North Carolina, for its conversion to a National bank. The title of the National bank is now the City National Bank of Greensboro. The capital of the bank is given at $100,000. Nearly all of the members of the North Carolina delegation in con gress during the present session, it is expected will be accompanied to Washington by their wives. During the last session thev were all accom panied by their families with the ex ception of representatives Fowlerj Kitchen, Martin and Pearson. Ow ing to the fact that this is a short ses sion, however, and most of the pre sent delegation will retire at the end of three months, some of the congress men who last session brought their wives to Washington, will probably leave them at home this year, as they wish to economize. Major-General Matthew C. Butler left Washington last night for a visit to his home in South Carolina. After visiting his home in the South for a few days he will return to Havana. The General yesterday was among the callers at the White House. Mr. A. L. Harris, member of the In dustrial Labor Commission of North Carolina, has returned to Washington from North Carolina where he spent the Thanksgiving holidays.
