The Legislature and new State Govern

human and inevitable that some excellent

osman Digna's story of the fall of the
equatorial province and the capture of
Emin Bey ia contradicted by the report ;
that come from Khartoum. Nothing has
been heard there of either of these alleged
occurrences. Had they taken place it is
certain that news of them would have
reached there before reaching Osman
Digna. In the opinion of those who are in
possession OF much information as a basis
ofiudgment, it lis thought that the cunning
Osman's tale was manufactured out of
whole cloth for the purpose of inducing
the English to abandon Suakiu. Until,
however, something more definite has
been received concerning Stanley than
has yet been received, doubt and uncer-
tainty will continue to hang over his fate

A Lovers Quarrel.

Was II all a mistake: All fold your arms closer,
And press my head nearer your breast;
For my brain has grown weary with thinking and
weeping,
And my sad heart Is longing for rest.
Was IL all mistake when within your dear
hand
You clasped mine with quickening breath,
And vowed before God that forsaking all others,
You would love me and keep me till death:
Was IL all a mistake? Is there anyone dearer
For whom your mans heart cries aloud?
Is there any sweet hope lying dead In your
bosom.
That your marriage vow hides like a shroud.
Was il all a mistake when thought could cheer
you,
And brighten your pathway through life:
Do You dream OF a face that is fairer than my
face:
OF a name you hold dearer than wife.
Was it all a mistake, Are you longing for free
dom?
All, pray that release may be near:
That deaths arms may take me and bear me to
heaven.
To await-what was that! Not tear!
All, my own, you are weeping. You're sorry you
said il:
Twas anger that made those words fall
Then take me yourself, dear, and don't let death
have me.
For don't want 10 die after all.

The Law for the Protection of Fish in the
Potomac Said to be Violated.

Complaints are heard almost every day that
the law for the protection of fish in the Dis
trict waters is being violated. ''There are sew
eral places about the river" said a citizen to a
STAR reporter, where fish nets can be seen
hanging out every morning to dry. In the
evening they are dry, but each morning finds
them wet again, so that it is fair to presume
that they are being constantly used Between
this city and Alexandria fishermen haul seine
almost daily. Their nets are placed in the
water beyond the headland, but understand
that the District officers do not claim that part
Of the river as being within the District of Co
lumbis. At the south end of the Long bridge
fishing nets can be seen hanging out to dry.
and it is said that seine is hauled there almost
every night.
1T is time that the District officers we're TAX
ing some action" he continued. "The law
passed to protect the fish for five years will
be a dead letter before the opening of the next
season. The law was framed BY Mr. Cooper
McGinn, and has been of great benefit to the
Potomac fisheries. 1t prohibited the hauling
OF seine or the taking of fish from the river BY
any stationary apparatus such as trap nets.
&C. The bill was passed because the spawning
grounds lie between the Chain bridge and Fort
Foote, and single haul with large SEINE
especially late in the season. is likely to destroy
millions of fish fry"
The police boat Joe Blackburn was pur-
chased to patrol the river and arrest violators
of the law, as well as to do service in connec-
ton with the regular duties of the harbormas-
ter. but the boat has been put to another use
and just at the time when it is most needed to
prevent violations of the fish law. The boat is
now, and has been for several days, in charge
of officers of the engineer department who are
| inspecting sewers. 1t is thought that in few
days the harbormaster and the police will again
get possession of tie boat, and then an attempt
will be made to arrest all persons found offend
ing against the fish law.
The harbormaster complains that he has I'M
der the law to carry light on his boat at night
and that he has to whistle when he passes
another steam vessel that is in motion. The
sound OF the whistle, he says, is known to
everybody about the river, and serves to warn
violators of the law of the approach of the
officers. and gives them time to escape with
their nets before the officers get to them.
When the boat makes trips at night graphing
irons are dragged from the stern to catch any
nets that might be in the river. as it is impos-
sble to see them in the dark. Thus far no nets
have been captured this season.

In the Dark.

Oh, in the depths of midnight,
What fancies haunt the brain,
When even the sigh OF the sleepe.
Sounds like sob OF pain.
A sense of awe and of wonder
may never well define,
For the thoughts that come in the shadows
Never come in the shine.
The old clock down in the parlor
Like "A sleepless mourner grieves,
And the seconds drip in silence
As the rain drips from the caves.
And / think of the hands that signal
The hours there in the gloom,
And wonder what angel watchers
Wait in the darkened room.
And think of the smiling faces
That used TO watch and wait
Till the click Of the clock was answered
BY the click Of the opening gate.
They are not there now in the evening"
Morning or noon-not there;
Yet know that they keep their vigil
And wait for me somewhere.

The case of the United States against Colonel
Richard Nevins, jr.. ex-superintendent of the
construction of public buildings in Pittsburg,
Pa, was called for trial in the T. s. district court
in that city yesterday, but was postponed

matism. Colonel Nevins is a brother of Mrs.
James 6. Blaine, jr. The charges against
Nevins, who appointed by President
