The officials of that road appear to be happy over their escape from the restriction of the presidents agree ment to think of placing themselves under restraint. They claim that they are now re- covering their share of the live stock traffic, not in consequence of the division recom- mended by the association, but in spite of unfair competition,

THE P. O. s. OF 4.

The National Convention In Session AZ Washington. ID. C.-America and Foreigners Considered by Presidens Smith.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16.-The thir- teenth annual national camp of the Patriotic Order of Sons of America began it's session in this city this morning. About seventy five delegates were present. President George P. Smith of Chicago, in his annual address, dwelt upon the necessity of com- mitting to Americans the care and pressrva- tion of American principles and institutions. The following sentiments were loudly ap- plauded:
 "A few more Haymarket riots and Cronin murders, instigated by organized bodies of foreigners, who have been permitted to be- come citizens of this free America, and who have shown their gratitude by sending mes- sengers loaded with dynamite, back to their native country for the purpose of destroying innocent men and children, and who have foully murdered their members when they failed to carry out their hellish plans, and there will not be in our Western country lamp posts, telegraph and telephone poles enough to hang the misoreants.
 "I ask you, is there room in this country for societies like the Clan -na-Gael that are 1 not in harmony with and are injurious to American institutions; that are dangerous to American order, disleysl to American gov- ernment, destructive to American principles, | repugnant to American ideas. and disgust | ing to all Americans who have any sense of \ j ustice, any regard for consistency, and any respect for the sanotity of human 1ifea Or [ have we room for societies whose officers con- \ tract with men to commit wholesale murder,
 \ and then betray their tools that they them- | selves may have more money to spend for \ their own personal beneftsa
 ':One-third of our entire population is of \ foreign birth or parentage. Alien flags and
 \ foreign emblems float from our public build
 ! ings, emblazon our streets and head prooes- ! sions of the people. We are cursed with all
 kinds of foreign non-Ameriean issues. Vast
 un-American organizations are held together
 | by issues of foreign birth for the purpose of
 \ perpetuating foreign sentiments and corrupt
 ' ing the ideals of our fathers. Anarchy and
 [ the destruction of all law are openly advocat-
 ! ed, the right to enforce discipline and the
 | principles of some of these orders is claimed
 | by secret conclaves even to the extent of talk
 ! ing human Efe."

Washdnefon Notes.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The Presidents
 reception this afternoon was attended by nearly 300 persons, the majority being dele gates to the meeting of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, now being held in this city. During their reception, MT. Spoford, one of the leading members, attempted to fasten badge of the order upon the Presidents breast, but he politely but firmly refused to accept it.
 Word was received at the navy department to-day that the Constellation, which ground ed yesterday, was fosted this morning. It is said at the navy department that the com- mander is responsible for any injury sus- tained by the vessel, and it is probable a court of inquiry will be ordered to ascertain the facts in the case.
 The Union Iron Works of San Francisco, which is building the cruiser Charleston, has applied to the Secretary of the Navy for an extension of four months in the time allowed by the contract for the completion of the vessel. The application is based upon the statement that the plans for the vessel were purchased by the navy department from English shipbuilders. la the case of of the machinery it is alleged the principal defect developed in the last trial trip and that which prevented it's success was one of design, for which the contractors were not responsible.
 In view of the fact that the attorney gene- ral has refused to decide upon hypothetical question whether or not the alien contract labor forbids the importation of professors of ! theology for the new Catholic university, MT. l Martin F. Morris, counsel for the trustees of ! the university, said to-day that nothing re-. | mained but to bring the men over to this ! country and have the matter tested. MT.
 Morris said he regretted the attorney gene E rals refusal to interpret the law, as the off I cers of the university did not wish to be put \ in the position of law breakers. He did not \ believe, however, that the law would be con- strued so as to exclude them. The men, he ! thought, should be classified as lecturers and l as such they were expressly excepted from the operations of the law.

race winning neither. After the second best was finished it was seen that Walton Ror
 had lost shoe and quarter boot and to
 this was attributed his falling to the rear at the close of the second heat. There were some on the ground who hinted at foul play on the part of the owner. The judges called for Charlie Smart and placed him as driver in the third heat. At the close of this heat Walton Boy with Smart in the sulky was second at the wire. The next two heats were also won by Walten Boy. In the sixth heat Smart did not crowd his horse to his best gait and was fourth at the finish In this heat Eddie Bass was fined ten dollars for foul driving Smart won the next heat in the race. When the judge announced the winner and the result of the race he also an nounced that Robt. Johnson, the owner of Walton Boy was suspended from association tracks. Following is the summary:

THE MORTGAGE.

We work ed through spring and winter. through
summer and through fall.
But the mortgage worked the hardest and the
>teadiest of all.
1t worked on nights and Sundays, it worked each
holiday:
1t settled down among u.s. and it never went away
Whatever Kept from it seemed almost bad
theft;
1t wat tched us every time, and it ruled right
and left.
The rust and blight were with sometimes, and
sometimes they were not;
The dark -browed, sulen mortgage was forever on
the spot.
The weevi and the cut-worm they went well
came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating hearty all the
1t nailed up every window stoodSguard at every
door
And happiness and sunshine make their. home
with more.
Till, with failing crops and sickness. got stalled
upon the grade.
And there came dark day ul on when the in
terest wasn't paid:
And there came sharp foreclosure, and kind o
lost my hold.
And grew weary and discouraged. and the farm
was cheaply sold.
The children left and scattered, when they yet
we're hardly grown;
My wife she pined and pershed an l found my
self alone.
What she died of mystery, an the doctors
never knew;
But knew she died of mortgage-just we'll as
wanted
If to trace hidden sorrow were within the doc
tor art,
They'd ha found mortgage lying that wom-
ans bI oxen heart.
Worm or beet e, drought tempest, on the farm
er's land may fall.
But for first class ruination, trust a mortgage
'ganst them all.
