evening papers, exaggerating the gravity oil
the present phase OF the Emperor's ma

The Last Kiss.

While the pen idly trailed in my hand,
Writes on, "Had words to complete II,

And the faint, smothered laugh in the hall

The tear-faded thread of my theme,
Telling how, as one night l sat writing,
A fairy broke in on my dream
A little inquisitive fairy

Blue eyes Of the fairies Of old.
TWAS the dear little girl that scolded--
"For was 1t a moment like this"
I said, "when she knew / was busy,
To come romping in for a kissl
Come rowdying up from her mother
And clamoring there at my knee
For 'one little kiss for my dolly
And one little uzzer for mef
God pity the heart that repelled hcr
And the cold hand that turned her wayl
And take from the lips that denied her
This answerless prayer of today
Take, Lord, from my memory forever
That pitiful sob Of despair,
And the patter and trip of the bare little feet
And the one piercing cry on the stairl

While the pen idly trailed in my hand,
Writes on, Had words to complete it,

But the little bare feet on the stairway,
And the faint smothered laugh in the hall,
And the eerie-low lisp on the silence,
Cry up to me over it all.

Make Nc n Song.

Out of the silence make me song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the loveliest music oouod along
And wing each note with wall of woe,
Dim and drear;
As hopes last tear
Out of the silence make me hymn
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out of the stiffness in your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child of art,
The song of hope in last despair,
Dark and low,
A chant Of woe:
Out Of the stiffness, tone by to re,
Soft as snowflake, wild as nom.
Out of the dark recesses fash me a song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as love-star sweeps along
The mystical shadows Of the night,
Sing it sweet,
Where nothing is drear, or dark, or dim,
And earth songs melt into heavens hymn

RICH FINDS OF GOLD.
Valuable Discoveries of Metal Reported
From Lower California.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 6.-Reports of
rich gold discoveries in Lower Cali
fornia have created much excitement
in this city and prospecting parties have
been fitted out and gone to the scene.
The San Diego Union to-day ascertained
the fact that a number of experts have
been in the Lower California gold fields
and have brought back to their
employers quiet reports of rich discov-
cries. The paper publishes an inter-
view with an expert who has been in
the San Rafael Valley. He states that
in travelling over the Sierra Madre
Mountains he discovered a tract thirty
miles long and twenty miles wide which
formed one large body of mineral
ground. There are hundreds of veins,
he SAYS, averaging from three to thirty
feet in width, principally composed of
free gold III white quartz which is easily
worked and assays from $500 to s., 200
per ton. The placer grounds are re-
ported to cover thousands of acres and
are said to be rich in gold dust
and nuggets. The mountains contain
several natural reservoirs and several
streams of water which have a fall of
from 800 to $500 feet, making the To-
cality valuable for hydraulic mining.
Other discoveries have been made, be-
sides the one alluded to, and in every
case the supply Of water is reported to
be good and all the conditions favorable
for extensive mining OneratiOns

RUMORS OF COMPROMISE.
The Burlington Fighters Hold a Confer
ence.

The Burlington Fighters Hold a Confer
ence.
Mr.. Jeffrey, general manager of the
Illinois Central, with Messrs. Sargent
Monahan, Hoge and Murphy, called at
the Burlington offices in Chicago on the
9th and met the officers of that road.
Mr.. Sargent acted as spokesman in be-
half of the late employees of the Burling-
ton and urged that the whole matter be
left to arbitration, but the railroad COM
pany objected that such a proposition
was inadmissible at the present
time, as their ft15 ranks a, were
and firemen, who were entirely satisfied
with the rules and terms of employ
ment. The situation of these new men
and the terms on which they were en-
gagged were fully explained to Mr.. Sar-
gent, who admitted that the railroad
company could not consider any pro-
position looking to their discharge.
Mr.. Stone then urged Mr.. Sargent to
have the strike called off, promising to
consider applications from the old men
and to give as many of them work as
he could.
Grand Master Sargent, after the con-
ference left for his home in Terre Haute,
Ind, leaving the local management in
the hands of Mr.. Hoge, Of the Burling-
ton grievance committee. The latter
was seen by reporter, and said: The
conference leaves the situation practi-
able to the idea of the meeting
anyhow, but we attended it. The
90 road wanted an unconditional
surrender and if we had agreed
to this we would have been gibbeted by
the enraged strikers. We don't want
our men taken back in patches, and if
we can't have the matter arbitrated the
Burlington strikers will accept situations
on other roads where they can obtain
better pay"
A rumor was current that the strike
had been declared off, and that 200 of
the striking engineers were to be rein
stated by the Burlington road immedi-
ately. This Mr.. Hoge denied emphat-
ically, adding that the Brotherhood
would never agree to any such settle
ment.
The same night report was received
Locomotive Engineers at tie Grand
Pacific that all the yardmasters of the
Burlington Road, except three, had
left the service of the company. There
are in all about twenty yardmasters IN
the night and day crews, ami 1t is their
knowledge of the local geography of the
yards which makes them valuable, for
upon this knowledge depends the prop
er disposition of the freights as they ar
rive. When the switchmen went out,
twelve of the yardmasters went with
them. Five more went out on the 9th,
and this leaves only three of the old
men III the service The reason as
signed for this new move is the refusal
of the men to work with scabs.
