What is now fOitasj mi in Paris is a negotiation roopoctioaj ertain objects hieb the Cnited .Mates government seeks to accomplish in that inautwr instead of resort riff to the more r.-ual. but more tedious method of correspondence !- tMn the tvvo pveriimeuts. These objects have been clearly stated in ccnetal terms in the press cable disp. . Ii'-s from Pari, namely, the acquisition of one of the Caroline inlands as a cable station and coaling station; of certain rights to land cables on Spanish pOMMMiOM at other poinls; the procurement of freedom

of religious worship in the Carolines

and the revival of certain treaties of

trade and commerce, etc. Purely Diplomatic So-got lati.in Which Do l V fleet the I' arc Treat. Put as stated these matters are purely the subjects of diplomatic negotiations, and do not in any way affect the conclusion of the e:iep treaty. They in i ur lit all fail to be realized and still the treaty would not be affected. Moreover, while Spain was the - iljet t of peremptory demands in the wise of tho protiseol points, she is free of lompn Ision now while these diplomat u eihanir-s art- i't p .i"-es.. She may sell .o the t'niteil States one of tb- I aroline islands or may refuse to do so. and. moreover, if we buy the island it must be at a price satisfactory to Sain. She may even sell the Caroline group to inrmany instead of to the I nitcil Stales, if she can obtain a better price for the former.

Mediterranean. Oc.irnl.Vuc or Sccorlnj the Caroline. The ease is different, respect ii.g the Cimdines. The American naval experts have urged very strongly that this group, hi- a whole be retained, if p.sili!e. and in addition that of the PeU-w group, lying to the westward, be pun based. I hey have iiit-t out that the southernmost island of the Ln drone group, Waloa. lie only ..no miles north of I'onae. in tin ''nroliaes. anl the (View islands are nly alsnut IM miles distant from the Philipp! m la A Natural Trade Channel. Moreover, the vast bulk of trade in tli it quarter of the world passes directly tliroiigh the natural eh. mind lietween the Irfidr nes and tlo- larolii.". of which the 1'nited states would have rnmmand.

Out of the V i ..ill. a of Allrn Territorr. Washington, pec. 3. The 1'nited states government is being ealW-d npaa to face some ipiestioiis of interst resulting from tue expansion policy. The Priiisu gnverum nt some time lefire the an nexat im of Hawaii H the Cnit. ii States filed with Hawaii a nuinocr f claims for redrest for the ill-t rcattuen? and illegal conti tletn 111 if liriti-b subject, involved in the revolution iry inovemeiit which overthrew the pioen. These amount to several hundred thousands of dollars in the aggregate ;.nl the pu-stion is, the Hawaiian government having failed to s.-ttle them, whether the I i it. .1 St;.; -s iim rtiment ilors not inh rit liability V t The claims are just such tj were llail by the late Secretary (irsham against the Hawaiian government in hchall d a numlier of alleged Amerir:in citizens, ti. ost of whom, afterwards tamed out to be aliens. None of nur claitus wer- ress-d. but they formeil the fouiulatioti for the Pnti.sli claims. Another question d mre impirtain is the 1 trrmiuatioti f the status of some if ur new ly-acquired citizens or subjects. Already a ( hinaman by birth, but a Philippine by itizen ship, has applied for r-eognition as an m ri-an -itizen. Another ( hinaman in Hawaii wants a pas-port showing

President Igleeias of Costa Pica, in company with Minister ( alvo, called at the state department yesterday afternoon. After exchanging gn-ctings with Secritary Hay. the minister retired to the Waiting room, iiiul a private consultation took place U-tween the prsidcnt and Scrct.iiy Hay. la-tuig al)uut au hour and a half. Owing to the privacy f UM meeting, nothing eon Id le 1-arned as tc the Bfchjeet umbr diseus-ion. but surmise pla -.. it as the Nicaragua canal project. Probably, tint, there was Mime talk stMVQl the disruption of the new i"ni!'l States of Central America, which i.iay. in a manner, have to be taken a-connt of in coniu-c-tion v.ith the anal proje t that the liiniiiistratfon deems BVDfMt to bring to the attei lion of congress at the ai praachlng .-esion. n- efT.-ct of the hange to the old state of dettciidcnt nations in Central America is to restore at MM to the exereis of thir full functions two if our aUniaters whe haw beea mndi cramped in the discharge of thcil duties. Minister Merry, w ho was nidi to a n lion nee the break up of the combination which bad kept him from recognition as Cnited states minister to Salvador and Ni.-n ragua. has lieen residing in Costa ili-a, n eonntrj to whi-h h- was also accredited, and will now lie in position without congr'sataaad ectlofs, i' is thought, to present his er dent; t- again to the governments of i -.iragua and Salvador. Mini-ter HtlBte, who has U-en livlie in diiati iiiala as minister iliire, will likewise lie able to present himself n- minister to Honduras, as well, that restoring the old relations In?I tvveen thtw count ri- and the Cnited Stlltl s.

Tlo rc U not a single objection to himcta Iimh th.it rests upon any broader or hotter basis than ihe technical ijuibbles, false unalogics. andaahed a.suniptions which i h.iiacterize thir ufiirmaMm . .lia;, in favor f gold. Take the

cla.in that bimetallism is impracticable, or. a some put it. itn ossib e. V!.ut abjectioi sau offered toil? Why. we are told that "we cannot have two itaadarda af ralaa any saora than ere can have two standards of length." A disliLguibhcd citizen of Nebraska, and a prominent member of the "log lid Mouy league." haft been reported as saving that to him "two standards of value are utterly unthinkable." If he used that expression it merely proves the "unthinkable" character of the apparatus which he carries around on his hOBld i s and which he probably thinks is a thinker. Tha truth is that thereare different itandsfda of various kinds. The French meter is n ataadaid of length and the American yard is another. The avtiirdujaois pound is a standard of weight and so is a pound troy. There are no les than three dif-fer;-r.t Itaadardsbj which lu-at is measured, and so with other things. Hut these m. it..! anls .-re easily ai!justd. one to another, and it requires no great intellct to make the adjustment. It is equally so with staralards. of value. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a "standard" of value, because the word "standard" implies fixity, while values are all the time changing. A money "standard" is merely a system by srhich values are computed Pifferer.t countries have different lYstema aril different units. Kr.g!and has the pound sterling of gold. India has the silver rupee, artificially raised above the level of shrer bullion, China has four different kinds of silver tads; tea have the dollar, etc.. etc. Put the differeaea, between these various units or standards are easily ea'culated. It doe rot require a Bind of any great thinking power to tr.ab'e one to understand the differrr.ee. Commerce is goingright on between countries with different monev ay-stems. The most ordinary clerk can convert pounds into rupees, or dollars ir.to-taels. ami w ithout at y very labored c-fort at thinking, either. The idea which called out this unique expression is this: If we attempt to establish bimetallism by admitting both metals to free coinage it is claimed that gold Mfill at once go to a premium, the parity w I ' be broker, and we will haveitwo standaril s of value, which the gentleman says fs "unthinkable." Now. suppose Just that should take p!ace and gold should gi to a premium of. say. 50 per cent. Waat would that mean? Simply that two gold dohars would be equal to three ttivtr dollars. Surely no man can be so utterly destitute of intelligence as to be unable to comprehend as plain a proposition as that. In the face of the whole monetary history of the world the fjold men assume that the very moment gold and silver parte! company fif thev did part) our finance would fall into confusion worse confounded, and ruin follow. Just h:w the ruin would come they never attempt to explain, save by a series of propositions that are both absurd and impossible. O J WARNER. NO FORCE HILL.
