Oct 18. Seoretary Kerr, of the Democratio Congressional Campaign Committee, now claims tbat his party will control the next House. To figure it out, he insists that the Demo crats will carry nine districts in Pennsylvania, and twelve in New York. Ia the present house thare are only four Democrats- from Pennsylvania, and the same number from New York. Chairman Baboock, of the Republican committee, does not concede tnat the Democrats will do so welt in either State, but he admits that the Republicans will sustain some losses in each, for the reason that Tammany is so thoroughly intrenched in the big city and the Republicans are split into warring faotions in Pennsylvania.

THE CUBAN DEBT. It is the Stumbling Block in the Peace Negotiations.

Paris, Oct 18 The Gaulois says that tha differences in the Joint Peace Commission arise chiefly from the question of the Cuban debt The Spaniards contend that to demand that Spain shall assume the. debt is equivalent' to a mony indemnity in addition to the cession of territory. The Americans refuse to discuss the point, because of their having received positive instructions thereon. The statement is officially authorized that all speculation, as to the doings of the Joint Commitsion is unfounded; nevertheless there is- reason to suppose there is a leak somewhere. as there is little doubt that the deliberations recently have been chiefly on the financial side of the case.
