On Account of Religious Holiday, APPROVED BY CABINET Presidential Instructions to Peace Commis- sioners Considered. Dinner at the White House Last Night—State Department Announce- ment—Senator Gray's Absence. The special meeting of the cabinet yes- terday afternoon lasted from 3 to 4 o'clock. The State Department last night gave out the following statement regarding the meeting: “The members of the peace commission, with the exception of Senator Gray, whose absence was due to his inability to with- draw as counsel in a case in which he was engaged some time before his appointment as one of the peace commissioners, have spent the greater part of yesterday and today in a free discussion of the duties with the discharge of which they have been intrusted by the President. Senator Gray is expected during the evening, and before sailing will have a full conference with the President and his associates. “While for obvious reasons it was de- termined that the nature of the instructions as to the negotiations about to be entered upon should for the present be kept secret and mace known only after definite results shall have been reached, it is possible to state authoritatively that the commission goes to Paris fully prepared to follow a course of action mapped out for it as the “ sult Of the consultations of the last two day: the very outset i to the Spanish comm: the case of the preliminary protocol, there can be no deviation from or modification of the demands made by the United Stat “The decision arrived at by the Presi- dent after a full consultation with the members of the commission subsequently received the cordial and unanimous ap- proval ef the cabinet at a meeting held at o'clock this afternoon.” lexibility in the Instructions. The commissicners do not go under iron- clad and rnchangeable instructions at all points, for there is a certain amount of flexibility in the instructions, else, as one ef the cabinet members put it, the Presi- dent might just as well have reduced his wishes to paper in the form of an ulti- um and have sent that to Paris by a The peace commissioners are “ense mére mouthpieces, but having sen with the greatest care and consid- eration five men in whom he puts th implicit confidence, the President feels they are to be trusted with the interests of the United State It 1s not expected that they will have a free rein in the larger questions of policy, but with ample oppor- tunities for consultation by cable and otherwise there is no reason why the com- missioners should not be able to carry out the desires of the administration, and at the same time have the opportunity to somewhat skape those desires by convey- ing information they may acquire. For instance. it is expected that at Paris the commissioners will meet General Merritt, fresh from Manila, and in addition they will there have the benefit of a s port from Admiral Dew Th be of the greatest value, the vill be made clear jioners that, as in for sioners are not acquainted with the Phil- commis- ippines question in detail, and informaticn that is to be aca the Spanish peace commission is not to be despised when it takes such an of- ficial form that it can be relied upon as to accuracy. even the aired from Mr. Frye Diplomatically Reticent. Senator Frye called at the War Depart- ment during the afternocn and had a talk with Acting Secretary Meiklejohn. While they were together, Representative William Alden Smith of Michigan, who is a mem- ber of the House committee on foreign af- fairs, joined them. In the course of a gcod-natured exchange, Mr. Smith urged Senator Frye to hold on to the Fhilippines as an entircty, as well as all other terri- tory of which we were po sult of the war. Mr. Fr: avoided committing him: marking that this id ing.

President McKinley gave a dinner at the White House last night to the members of the peace commission who are in the city. Invited to meet them were the members of the cabinet now here and a few other offi- cials, most of whom at various times have been called in consultation about questions relating to the war. The dinner was given in the private dining room and was con- fined entirely to gentlemen. It began at 8 o'clock, and the guests remained for some time. A section of the Marine Band was stationed in the state dining rcom and ren- dered patriotic airs during the evening, while the red, blue and green parlors and the main corridor of the n.ansion were thrown open for the convenie of the gues While the dinner was intended as a social courtesy to the departing commis- sioners, {t gave an opportunity for a more or less informal discussion of the work to be undertaken by them.

Foster, Assistant Sec- e and Adee of the State De- 4 Adjutant General Corbin. , one of the peace commis- sioners, was unavoidably absent from the dinner, having failed to reach the city in time. Departure of Commi: ioners. All the arrangements have been com- pleted for the departure of the commission and its staff. Most of the party will leave Washington at 4 o'clock this afternoon for New York, but circumstances may detain somé of the commissioners until the mid- night train. The Campania sails at 2 p.m. tomorrow, and explicit instructions have been given all the members of the party « to being on hand at that time. Special baggage tags have been printed for the belongings of the members, and a small pa- per paster, showing red and blue bars cross- ed on a white background, gives a handy way of making a “red, white and blue” identification of the perscnal and general luggage of the party. A number of stout cedar chests have been made to carry the books, pamphlets, type- written papers, etc., forming a part of the American case. The chests are like a shal- low steamer trunk, so that they may be shoved under the berths, and thus be avail- able on the passage over instead of going with the baggage in the hold of the steam- er. This will permit considerable work on the trip, and it is expected that the com- missioners will hold meetings on shipboard. The party will go direct from Liverpool to London, and there stay for a day's rest, then proceeding to Paris by the way of Dover and Calais. ———_+-o+—_____ Special prices in new patterns in Carpets at Hoeke’s.—Advt. Novel Start in Life. From the Philadelphix Record. Of all the curious starts in life of which self-made men are apt to boast the most extraordinary one is that which furnished the basis for a business from which a sta- tioner in this city derives a comfortable income. He does not tal the story himsel?, but it comes from an old acquaintance whose veracity is beyond question. Tie successful business man of today was once a collector for a mercantile Rouse, and made as high as thirty or forty eats per day on delinquent customers. He always bo:rowed a lead pencil from each one, and never returned it unless ask- ed to do so. Of course no suspicion attach- ed to him, for forgetfulness in regard to lead pencils is recognized as a human fail- ing. One of evecy three h2 secured was long enough to pass muster as a new pen- cil, and after he collecced 1,000 in this way he secured a contract for furnishing lead pencils to a country school. One of the ud- vantages of his bid was that he offered to supply pencils already sha-pened. He now Maintains a commodicus stationery store and his contract department Sourishes, ‘Some : am dence of our underselling abi than this—could you? arthestecteatettontenantinetestectreiestecottostone ston .

Divorced Girl-Wife of Gen. Clay to Wed a Farm Hand. From the New Yorx Journal Today. LEXINGTON, Ky., September 15.—Dora Rich. y 3 been known for four as the child wife of Gen. Cassius Mar- lus Clay of Whitehall, Madison county is to be married here tomorrow to Ritey Brock, the twenty-four-year-oid farm and sawmill hand. She met Brock at Valley View, when she was living there with her brother Clell, af- ter she had left Whitehall. Brock is a handsome fellow, six fect tall, with brown hair and eyes, regular features and is pos- sessed of a happy-go-lucky He is ays in a good humor. He said today: es, Iam alw s nappy. I ne take trouble. My throat has ~isen several times and had to be lanced, but I am alw happy: It was this throat that caused m to be rejected after I had eniisied in the 2d Kentucky Regiment for several months.

She i 3: Brock’s father, Washington Brock, was a sawmill hand, so that he and Dura’ belong to the same stratum of society, or, as iG ne Clay put it, “they are both peasants,” but they expect to be happier than Dora could be in great “Whitehall,” with its fine draw- ing rooms, its priceless art treasures and its costly bric-a-brac. The little house that Gen. Clay gave her the day before he filed the divorce papcrs is nothing mcre than a hovel. It is of un- dressed boards, unplastered, unceilinged, with rough floors having no carpers. Dora looked bright and happy today as she sat in the little room and told of her life at “Whitehall.” She declared that she had the highest regard for Gen. Clay. He seemed more like @ father to her then a husband, she said. The life she led at “Whitehall” was a lomesome and unhappy one, and she had fo leave or go crazy, she added. When Brock joined the army 2nd came to Lexington to be mustered Dora came with him and remained until he went with the regiment to Chickamauga. Failing to pass the medical examfnation, he returned to Valley View. Dora's brother, Leofiard, was working here, and Bruck induced her to come here and keep house for the brother, as he is not married. She came, and Brock has been living with them fér two months. —_—____+0+— DYNAMITE GUN. EXPLODED. Wealthy Cuban Whe Was Testing It ‘Was Badly Wounded. From the New York Herald. Today. Alfred La Rossa, a wealthy Cuban, who has been making his home on Staten Island since the outbreak of the war, was danger- ously wounded yesterday afternoon by the explosion of a dynamite gun which he was testing. Mr. La Rossa has been active in the struggle of the Cuban insurgents against Spain, and for some time has been devot- ing considerable time to perfecting a dyna- mite gun of his own invention. The gun—a small one—was completed a short time ago, and Mr. La Rossa ob’ from the gov- ernment permission to take it to the Sandy Hook proving grounds for a thorough test. He decided to make a preliminary test of the gun yesterday afternoon, and took it into the woods at Arrochar, S. 1, near his boarding place. He was accompenied by Henry Mayolini. The gun was about three feet tong and Can’teat, can’t sleep, with an aching tooth. The unfortunate possessor knows no peace of mind or nerves.

It had very much the appearance of a rapid-fire <un. Powder was used to expel a brass shell six inches long and an inch and a half in diameter, loaded with dynamite. The gun was fired with a lanyard, and for the test yesterday this was twenty-five feet long. The weapon was trained so that the snell would be thrown into an embankment three hundred feet distant, and one shot was suc- cessfully fired. The shell exploded, throw- ing up a great shower of earth and stones. The gun was loaded for a second shot, and when Mr. La Rossa pulled the lanyard there was a terrific explosion. The breech block of the gun was blo-vn off, and it struck La Rossa a glancing blow on the lower part of the face, bre-king his jaw and knocking him down. ‘Mr. Mayolini stood only a few fcet away, but escaped unhurt. Mr. La Rossa was not unconscious, but he was unable to rise, and after making him as comfortable as pos- sible Mr. Mayolini ran to the nearest tele- phone and summoned the police ambulancc. Mr. La Rossa was taken to the Smith In- firmary, where the physicians say that the extent of his injuries cannot yet be fully determined, but his condition is critical, 2"~ La Rossa is thirty-eight years old and un- married. ——__+ e+____ There is a little girl in New London who voluntarily added to her nightly petition: ‘Please, Lord, make our men whip the Spaniards, quick.” She omitted it the oth- ar night, and when asked why, said: “Don’t you disses the Lord reads the newspapers?” ||| School | Our signature attached to an advertise- Rent means goods strictly as advertis Bo Bon Marche, _3i4 to 318 7th.
