Matthew Arnold ouce spoke of Lord
Salisbury as "a man likely to produce

well to remember, however, that the

such things always runs up against
something hard at last.

The Supreme Court of the United

of the differences between the divorce

It might not be a bad Idea for the
steamship companies to inaugurate a
bitter rivalry to see which can make,
not the fastest hut the slowest time, in
crossing the Atlantic. The St Paul

even have been trying to sustain a great
record. If It is a steamer's usual rate
of travel that Is likely to run her against
any stray continent or outlying sections
of North America the usual rate of
speed needs to be safeguarded with
greater precautions. But of course, if
the racing speed of the modern liners

If William Walker, the American
filibuster, were alive to-day, he would

Bat the difference Is that Jamleson
counted on the secret support of his
government, while Walker acted on his
own responsibility. Walker's career of
filibustering lasted seven years, and

It
la rather amusing to know that
certain English Journals accuse the
Wicked Americans of having pretfpl
tsAed aO tft troubles In the Transvaal.
It appears that there are luiv uuia
bers of American aiuoii the adven
turous Intruders In the gt'J country,
and that they have been heariug the
English newcomers ceiLgUntly saying,
for the past eighteen tuuuiLs, that aa
soon as they become a little Uiore num
erous they would hand the Transvaal
over to gueen Victoria. This line of
conspiracy was deprecated by all Amer
icans who did not care to assist In such
a conspiracy, and the reason alleged fof
their unwillingness by the English wat
that If the British emigrant kept crowd
lug in, the rate of wages would soon
be lowered. It is highly cbaraiteristle
of Mr. Bull that he should allege the
interested rarber than the moral rea
son for the Americans' refusal to bring
on a fight with the Boers and "do
them out of their country.
J. G. Stodui-uu, an English captain In
the service of the Dutch toward the
close of the last century, left a little
book lxMiind him which now ri-s up
out of the oblivion In which it has Iain
for generations to confront Lord Salis
bury, and to furnish sulwtaiitlal prf
that his statements as to the boundary
between British Guiana and Venezuela
cannot be supported. Captain Stedm.in
was In his youth when he saJh-d from
Holland in 1772, for I'aramarilH). and
he was for some yi ars a:i officer in what
was then known as the "Scots Brigade."
He was of an observing turn of mind,
and after his return to Europe he pub
lished a volume on Dutch Guiana,
which had the honor of being illus
trated with beautiful engravings by
William Blake, the famous English
artist and mystic. This volume, which
was printed in London in 171)7. in I"aris
In 17!)S, ami again In England about
li;i, has a map showing clearly that
the Dutch claim which is, of course,
the only one to which the English have
succeeded extended In thosndays only
to the I'omaron River. Tills seems to
disjMwe conclusively enough of all
Lord Salisbury's attempts to prove an
ancient Dutch title to lands In the in
terior of Venezuela.

and embarrassed In a numler of par

American products. How well he ac
complished his task Is shown by the
fact that while American interests In
Germany have ben well looked after,
Mr. Runyon, personally, was on the lst
terms with the entire German court

Brevet Rank.
The story Is told of a soldier of the
Army of the Potomac who had his own
Ideas as to his financial value, as well
as the method "by which that value
could be realized.
He was a white man, and was de
tailed for service as a teamster In a
train which was driven for the most
part by negroes. The negroes were
hired at the rate of twenty-five dollars
per month, but the white soldiers re
ceived no more than his regular pay
of sixteen dollars.
He appeared somewhat dissatisfied
with this arangement, and made an
application to his captain.
"I should like." he said, gravely, "to
be apH!nted a negro by brevet and be
assigned to duty In accordance with
my brevet rank!"
A Remarkable Kcho.
A Klllarney tourist, so the story goes,
was assured by a guide that the echo
on Loch Gill was worth hearing So
off went the tourist to hear It and hired
two men to row him out accomplishing
the transaction so swiftly that there
was no time for them to arrange for
the usual echo to be In attendance. In
despair they broke an ore, and one
swam ashore to fetch another. The
echo then began. "Good-morrow,"
cried the tourist "Good-morrow," said
the echo, with a brogue, "Fine day,
God bless It" cried the tonrlst "Folne
day, God bless It" said the echo. "Will
you have a drink V cried the tourist
"Begorra, I wIHT' roared the echo.

Democrats Two,
FmwxroBT, Ky., March 12. All the
confli ting interests in the senatorial
battle were almost turned into a blood
thirsty mob of senators, niemlK-ra of
the house and their adherents jeeteiday
The combatants fought far nearer the
riotous preci ice than they have done
eiuce the deadlock. The house and the
lobbies were the scene of excitement
which needed only an overt act on the
part of a republican to provoke the use
of kn ves, revolvers an 1 clubs.
The republican house had unse ted
Kaufman in spite of Dunlap's with
drawal of bis contest of the seat and re
fusal to qualify, tjuick with their re
vengeful fpirit, the democratic senators
made good their threat to retaliate, and
unseated Walton and James. The latter
lipped into the house while, be was
being unseated, but remained a silent
spector of the partisan battle. Wal
ton refused to leave the senate chamber
when l.e eaw th enraged mob rush to
wards tbo house. All of the indications
then pointed to a stormy time of it
The repu'.licans, tliougu knocked off
their feet temporarily by Dunlap's with
drawal of hie contest of the seat of
Representative Kaufman (deal.), quick
ly rallied and it was decided on that
side to push the fight against Kaufman
regardless of his action. In anticipation
of the excitement which would ce. tainly
follow the expected developments yes
terday Speaker Blandford again enforced
the rule excluding from the lobbies ani
galleries all persons except the ladies,
aud in consequence the crowd was again
on the outside.
In the house there was a preliminary
scrimmage over the distillers' piivate
brand bill and the previous question had
already been ordered on the bill and
amendments, when Mr. Howard, repub
lican, of Butler, rose and called up the
Dunlap-Kaufman contest as a matter of
highest privilege. Mr. Carroll made
the point that the contest hsd been
ended by the withdrawal of the contes
tant. In a minute the wildest excite
ment prevailed all over the state bouse.
Senators huddled together in the mid
dle of the senate chamber, while a mob
crowded every entrance.
The democratic senators yelled their
vote unseating Senators James - and
Walton (republican). Three minutes
later a mob was at the door of the house
declaring that James and Walton
would never go in there. In the mob
were several men with their pistols in
their pockets, standing at the door dar
ing republicans to attempt to bring the
two unseated senators through. Among
tbete were Jack Chinn, Jim Williams,
Senator Bionston, Senator Martin,
Walter Sharpe and Senate Doorkeeper
Tyler. Senator Blackburn was in the
crowd counseling coolness.
The crowd was mad when it learned
that James had already slipped into the
bouse and had done so while they were
unseating him In the senate. Men and
women rushed from the building when
the yell told that the unseating in the
senate had been done, fearing a riot.
The chief of police and a large body of
patrolmen were on hand, however,
Dunlap, the newly seated representa
tive, attempted to enter the house, but
was kept back by the crowd at the door.
The republicans tried in vain to induce
Walton, the untested republican sena
tor, to brave the knives and pi "tola
and force bis way into the house, but he
refused to leave the senate chamber.
1 o Cuba' Aid.
Philadelphia, March 12. Although
the report that another big fllliDuster
ing expedition is ready to start for Cuba
could not be confirmed here yesterday
with any degree of positivenees, enough
was gathered from different sources to
put the rumor on a pretty solid founda
tion. It Is said that the steamer which
will take the expedition is ready to sail
at any moment, and it is possible that
the men and arms and ammunition
which will form the vessel's cargo are
even now waiting for the ship at some
point on the New Jersey coast. When
the steamer arrives off this point, pro
vided tliot the above supposition is true,
she will probably lay to outside the
three-mile limit and the men and arms
will be taken aboard ii boats. If the
expedition was to have started tonight,
as rumored, it is likely that the pre
vailing gale will delay the departure.
On one point only would the local Cu
ban leaders talk.
Ther assert positively that Geh. Ca
listo Garcia will head no more expedi
tions. While crediting General Garcia
with all loyalty to the Cuban cause,
they say he is not circumspect encugb
and that he was mainly responsible
for the failure of the expedition that

woman of the town was strangled under
circumstances identical with the two
other murders that' have taken place re

named Bertha Faradii, at 27 St. Mary's
street, was found dead in ber bed by
her lover. When found she was hail

the Liverpool cattle market bill, stian
doning the old building for a new one
which i t j be constructed near the
docks. Mr. T. P. O'Connor, member for
the Scotland division of Iiverpool, ob
jected on the ground that the new site
for the market would favor American
as against Irish cattle.
Hon. W. S. Broderick, parliamentary
secretary for the war office, stated in
reply to a question asked by Dr. Tan
ner, nationalist member for Middle
Cork, that the war office knew noth.ng
of a report that English mditary offi
cers had offered their services to Spain
in the tvent of the occurrence of hos
tilities between that country and the
Uut'ed States. The penalties of such
aeii.m, he added, would be enforced in
accordance with the foreign enlistment
act.

hatevor vie- the Canadian and United
States authorities might lake, he could
only say that it had beeu conclusively
proved here that the disease was in
fectious. In reply to a question on the subject,
Mr. George N. Curzon, parliamentary
secretary of the toreipn office, stated
that the government had no informa
tion of the settleaient of the Venezuelan
difficnlty. Despite Mr. Curzon's itate
ment a report is credited in ministerial
circles that Prime Minister Salisbury
has absented to the formation of an
Anglo-American commission that will
be authorized t j settle the dispute.
Mr. Thomas Gibson Bowles, tory
member f r Lynn Regis, asked if the
government's attention had been called
to tstatementa in the Spanish press that
in the event of war with the United
States Spain would fit out privateers
to prey on American commerce, she n- t
being a party to the declaration of Paris
of 185(5.
Mr. A. J. Baltour, first lord of the
treasury and government leader in the
house, sai 1 that in view of the fact that
there bad been no privateers fitted ont
in any wartince li66, even by the pow
ers that bad not acceded to the declara
tion of Paris, and in view also of the
fact that the principle of a neutral ftjg
received general acceptance, he doubted
that Spain or any other country would

held that there was a general acceptance
of the Paris declaration by all the powers
though it was not embodied in a trearty.
Armi at Cuba.
Philadelphia, March 13. The vessel
Wiich is said to have left this port for
Cuba a week ago, with arms and ammu
nition, is reported to have landed safely
at a small bay in the eastern end of the
island, and within six hours the entire
cargo was placed in the hands of insur
gent agents. One of the Cuban leaders
who was instrumental in getting this
vessel away, in speaking of it, said :
"So far as we have been able to learn
the ship, with the munitions of war,
arrived in Cuba on Sunday and get
away alt right. If she bad not done fo
we certainly would have had an elabo
rate report of her seizure, or any other
circumstances that would effect the en
terprise. "There was not many men aboard,
only enough to handle the cargo and
look after it properly. The ship cleared
from here for Jamaica, and after sto:
ling at Cuba sailed immediately for
Jamaica, from which place she will
again come to Philadelphia with a cargo

south with arms.
Cabinet Meat.
Mahhid, March 13. A cabinet coun
cil was held here yesterday, at which
the queen regent presided. Seuor Cano
vas del Castillo, prime minister, made
optimistic comments on the action of
the American senate on the Cuban bel
ligerency resolution.
He evidently believed it to be a fact
t hat the senate hsd not already agreed
to the report of its conference com
mittee, which meant that there was a
good prospect of the senate not accept
ing bouse resolution. He added, how
ever, that the warlike preparations be
continued, the government being de
termined to lie ready for any contin
gency. The prime minister announced that
it was intended to immediately reopen
the universities that had been closed
on account of the anti-American dem
onstration of the students.

A Dream of Ket
I know a dell, a woodland dell.
Fur from the city's din.
There quiet reigns the w hole day long,
And dim light shines within.
And through its depths there ruin a
brook;
It murmurs with soft refrain,
It tells a tale of rest and penre,
Tells it and tells it again.
'i Lie sun glints through the waving boughi
And kisses the hnsik I know,
Tlie rustling leaves sing a restful song
To the stream and the ferns below.
Across the years that have slipped away,
And the miles that lie lietweeu,
My heart leaps baek to that quiet dell
And the brook with its silver sliiren.
The trees a friendly welcome wave
To my soul from fetters fn-e.
Th stream sings softly of days that were,
And of days that still may he.
'Tis only a phantom picture, I know,
A drenni of my spirit's release,
But it comes like a benediction
And its after effect is pence.
Edwin G. Heath in lioston Transcriit.
The Girl of Louie Ago.
I think she was fairer than the girl of
tiwlay
She was dearer by fur, I know;
And never 1 questioned the queenly sway
Of the girl of long ugo.
Then where is the darling of long ago,
When the blood ran warm as w ine?
Is she under the lilies or under the snow,
The darlingest girl of mine?
Has she laid down to rest with the sod on
her breast,
Hie cherished of long ago?
Has she wandered afar, where the strange
things are?
Is her dark hair white us snow?
Oh, whether afar, where the strange way
are,
Or whether aliove or lelow,
God keep her from harm, for her heart It
was warm.
And, oh, I loved her so!
Joaquin Miller.
To-morrow.
To-morrow is too far away!
A bed of spice the garden is.
Nor btnl nor blossom that we miss;
The rosea tremble on the stem,
The violets and anemones;
Why should we wait to gather them 7
Their bloom and balm are ours to-day,
To-morrow who can say?
To-morrow Is too far away,
Why should we slight the joy complete,
The flower open at our feet?
For us to-day the robin sings,
His curved flight the swallow wings,
For us the happy moments stay.
Stay yet, nor leave ns all too fleet!
For life is sweet and youth Is sweet,
rkiid love ah, love is sweet to-day,
To-morrow who can say?

Kl.h and Flow.
I walked beside the evening sea.
And dreamed a dream that could not bo;
The waves that plunged along the shore
Said only, "Dreamer, dream no more."
But still the legions chargiil the beach,
And rang their battle cry, like speech;
But changed was tiie mqjeria) strain;
It murmured, "Dreamer, dream again."
Homeward turned from out the gloom,
That sound I heard not In my room;
But suddenly a sound that stirred
Within my very breast I heard.
It was my heart, thut like a sea
.Within niy breast beat rcnaclesaly;
But like the waves along the shore,
It said, "Dream on," and "Dream no
more."

Voices in the Wind.
There arc v4fts in the wind;
They are calling.
They are souls of human kind;
They are falling.
Hear their voices, dim with sorrow,
TJiey are striving for the morrow;
From their pungs-we nil can borrow-
Tbey are falling.
I-t us sing the aongs of sadness,
Still rejoicing,
For the many songs of gladness
Now are f.'clng.
On the morrow to heaven
Our souls will swift b given,
While to sorrnw &y are riven .

luit hrs been brought by the U. 8.
District Attorney for Nebraska against
the Burlington Koad (or the re-convey-mce
of 177,f75 acres of land in the
northeastern counties of this state. The
petition was tiled Saturday, February
29, 18!i, in great haste, because, aflcr
fooling around over the matter for fif
teen or twenty years past, the time
would have expired March 5, lsflrt, alter
which date the government would have
been without remedy. I'.ut on March
2, IH'M, two days alter the suit was
brought. President Cleveland approved
an act which pa.-sed the ten ate unani
mously, and the house by a more than
two-thirds vote, extending the time,
within which the government might
bring euits of this character, for five
years. There eecma to 1 no reason why
any of the sellers owning or occupying
any of this land, purchased from the
Burlington road, need bs alarmed, even
though a summons may be served on
tome or all of them, in this case. The
act of congress referred to tjuriAically
titmpt lantli uhich hnve lit en t'M In
binia-Jide tctllen and lands which have
been granted to railroad companies in
lieu of other lands w hich the; should
have received but were unable to secure
under the grant. The act reads thus:
"But no patent to any ami Iwld by a lama
fide jntrrhaier thnll he racttttd or annulled,
but the riyht and title uj tuch jmrrhater it
heeelry confirmed." This should be suffi
cient to quiet the fears of any person
owning or occupying lands purchased ol
the Burlington road, and it seems a per
fectly useless expenditure of funds o
the government to serve summons on
settlers in the face of such an act of in
gress. Not only has congis-ig protected
every Innocent purchaser, but the U. 8.
6upreme Court, years ago, in other
cates involving railioad land grants, laid
down the rule that whatever may be the
situation between the government and a
Land Grant company, the rights of the
innocent purchaser would lie protected
and in no wise disturbed.
