when the dailics deal only in politics

But even breakfast was ~ thin" of

Conversation had flowed tuitslow-

made his brilliant suggestion of read

Of u man who feels himself within the
clutch of a boredom, he reiterated
his novel idea.
"Well, read us the death notices, il
you won't read politics. Let us sec

Maybe IL CREDITOR" he said with an
air of hope.
Barton shook his head, but never
theless he took up the paper and
glanced idly at the sheets before him.
AS his eye fell on the column where
ore recorded the names OF those who
have recently died, he changed color
violently, and looked uneasily at his
friend, John Torrance, who had just
risen from his chair.
"Atlcast, n creditor, said Torrance,
stretching himself with IL sleepy sigh,

an hour or so. and on my return
shall doubtless find you, Huntington,
still gloating." He waved his hand
to his iriend s and went in quest of a
nap.
Fred Barton's gaze followed him
across the room with painful inter-
est. The paper fell on the table, but
his land still held it with apparent
carelessness. As the door closed he
turned with an expression OF relief
toward his remaining guest. The
hand that grasped the paper rrlnxr'l
its hold and flung that respectable
journal at Huntington, while Barton
almost gasped:

Rill to Put Our Merchant Marine on an
Equality with That of Other Nations.
WASHINGTON, April THE house
committee on merchant marine and fish
cries, through Chairman Farquhar,
Wednesday reported "A bill to place tho
American merchant marine engaged in
foreign trade upon an equality with that
of other nations" The principal provi-
sions of the bill have already been given
The report accompanying it says:
The ocean transportation of the
United States averaged $240, 900, 900 an
nually for the past ten years. Taking
our share of the trade at 75 per cent we
have an amount of SlS0,000, 900, 10 per
cent of which $lS,000,000. Surely it
would not be bad investment for the
nation to pay out S18 annually to Sc
cure an opportunity to earn and save
$3.50.
"There are no appropriations made
that would pay so we'll as this would do.
But if this is thought too large, then
make it 5 per cent. That would be
double what the bounty bill will call for
in ten years to come. The estimate of
the committee is that under the terms of
the bill the payment in bounties for tine
first year would be for sail vessels, ST.
644, ,SlS; steam vessels, 81, 1l5, ,922 total
S3. 800, ,74l. The annual increase would
be about per cent, so that it would be
eight years before the annual bounty
would amount to $4,000, 900"
The minority recommends that the bill
for the free admission to American regis
try of ships built abroad be substituted
for the bill reported by the committee.

New YoRK, April 4-Jim Corbett, or
the California Wonder, as he has been
styled since he defeated Kilrain, when
spoken to about his proposed contest
with John L. Sullivan, said; II am
willing to meet MIR. Sullivan in any
business offer he may be pleased to
name, to arrange the terms for a four
round contest with gloves. have been
told that he has expressed desire to
meet lle. There need be no difficulty in
making the contract if Mr.. Sullivan will
agree to fight me within two weeks.
This is the only stipulation that must
insist upon. My leave of absence has
nearly expired, and it is imperative that
return to my duties at the California
Athletic club, If Mr.. Sullivan will agree
to the time stipulated l feel sure that a
match can be arranged"
Corbett spoke throughout the interview
with modesty-in fact it was a difficult
matter to get him to say Word about
the contest, for fear, as he said, people
would think him boastful. When asked
if he could not get his leave of absence
extended, he said: mo, my position is
a good one, and may pay me $500 a
month for the rest of my life, and |
valus it too much to risk it. | am also
anxious to get home to my wife and
family. If fight is arranged it must
take place within the stipulated two
weeks"

CHATTANOOGA, April 4.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew, of New York, who has recov-
cred from his late illness and is on his
way home from Florida, spent Wednes-
day in Chattanooga. A public reception
was given Mr.. Depew at the opera house,
where he delivered a magnificent ora
ton on the south as he finds it, from
which the following extract is taken:
''ln studying the south | regret | have
never been in the south before. have
been looking, not so much at its natural
development as to its people, their senti-
ments, their methods of life; as to where
the differences occur between the north
ern and southern American, if any eX-
lst. | am glad to say that my OBJ
servation leads me to the conclusion
lhat in all the elements constituting
good citizenship, honest patriotism
and intelligence, there is no differ
ence. Applause. have been led to
form another conclusion on his visit
one which has been impressed upon
me-a conclusion which may seem
harsh in the first statement, but history
and historical philosophy will declare it
good Judgment. Providence moves in a
mysterious way, and impresses upon
the people that it is only through fire
and water, suffering and sacrifice,
that they can arrive rapidly at mag
ni6cent results. A to the civil war, after
you have forgotten its passions, after
you have buried in common grave all
vindictiveness and strife, after you have
recovered from the sorrow of personal
loss, you will reach philosophical frame
of mind, and can calmly view the war
and its results. The civil war advanced
the United States of America
more than 100 years in the four years
in which it was fought. Without
the civil war there never would have
been that uniication of the people in one
common civilization with no difference
upon any questions vital to society di-
viding them. Without the civil war
there would never have been that COM
mon devotion to a common land
and to the starj and Stripes. Without
the civil war and its results there
never would have been this superb de-
velopment, of which Chattanooga is the
most magnificent example, and you
would still be a wayside station, your
coal and iron buried in the earth, your
population a thousand unknown, your
wealth possibility and your great ma
terial strength undeveioped. Ap-
plause.

Lee shooting him with Springfield

MEMPHIS, April A. The condition of
the flooded district, on the Mississippi
side, between Tunica and Greenville, re-
mains unchanged. Prominent planters
from the delta deprecate the sensational
reports which have been sent out rela-
tive to the suffering of the people.
They are able, they say, to take care
of their hands without assistance, and
are offering them large wages to remain
and work on the levees. But the ne
groes, with the prospect of being fed
and cared for by the government and
the various relief expeditions, are indif-
ferent, and in some instances refuse to
work at any price.
The crevasse at Austin is widening
slowly, as the water is running through
much slower.
Greenvllle is still partially under water
and little business is being done. There
is no suffering nor need of outside help.
