Which gladly to his God returned
The Son in mercy given.
Here Ruth redeemed. in fulness paid
The vows her love and faith had made
To Boaz and to heaven.

Unconscious of the will divine
That marked him for a crown
Was summond from his shepherd toll
To feel the king amounting oil
From Chrsmal cruise drop down.

Yet cheer'd the brave and praised his God

CANADA is ALARMED.
Steps Taken for Retaliation Causes Great
Uneasiness.

TORONTO, Ont. Aug. 1.-Sir John
Thompson leaves town to-day, and it 10
rumored that he will make an unan-
nounced visitto Washington and endea-
vor to secure pledge from the President
that he will not ISSUE his proclamation
until an opportunity has been gwen the
Canadian government to hear IRON
England and decide on line OF I'M
mediate action.
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. From official
circles, it is learned that the Dominion
government fully expects that Presl-
dent Harrison will carry the retaliatory
threat against Canada into effect az re-
CARDS the use of the st. Mary's Canal. An
official in high authority said that it was
II matter of surprise to the government
up to tho present time. He asserts that
President Harrison has totally ignored
the proposal which the Dominion gov
eminent submitted in June, by
which all cause of complaint against
Canada for alleged discrimination
against the United States in the use of
the Dominion canals would be removed.
He says if President Harrison did not
intend accepting the offer rs basis of
settlement of the canal question, 1t was
difficult to see what his motive could
be i'll Withholding his reiectment
from publication. The fact that the
President has remained silent leads to
the belief here that the offer of the
Canadian government practically dis
poses of the case, although for political
reasons President Harrison has with
held his affirmative reply.

Libel.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, July 3O.-Late this aft
ernoon Florence d. White. editor, and
Samuel Williams and George S. Johns.
comprising the editorial staff of the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch, were arrested on
warrants sworn out by Judge Normile,
of the st. Louis criminal court, charging
criminal libel. At the same time civil
suit for 100000 damages was begun
against the Pulitzer Publishing Com
pany, owners of the paper. In the
criminal proceedings, there are six
counts in each warrant, each count
being based on separate items pub
lished in the paper. There are also six
counts in the civil suit petition, $50, 900
each being asked for on four, and $780,,
600 each in the other two. The action
grows out of reports and comments
upon recent descriptions of the grand
jury of Judge Normile's court and oc-
currences incident thereto, which Judge
Normile considers as libeling him.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. l.-Supt. Potter
Claims that there was break in the
strikers ranks IN the mechanical de-
partment Of the Homestead mill lass
night, and that twenty-five of
the best skilled workmen returned
to work this morning. The men
had O. committee go down when the
men went in this morning and they
ascertained that but eight of the eighty
men in the mechanical department are
of the strikers ranks.
1t is understood that are now several
strikers in the mill, influencing the non"
unionists to quit. This plan was adopt
ed with signal success in 1882, when
whole turn of strikers went back to work
and soon organized all the non-unlon-
lists, taking them out on another strike.
1t is said that the Pinkertons Will pre-
fer charges against the men engaged In
the riot on July &. 1t is claimed that
they have the names OF 800 participants,
and will charge them with aggravated
riot and assault.

Spanish War Ship and Troops on Shore
Exchange Shots.
MADRID, July 3O.-The Spanish gum
boat Piler, while cruising along the coast
of Morocco, was fred upon by party
of Moors on shore. Immediately upon
the firing of the first shot the command
er of the gunboat hoisted the Spanish
flag, thinking that the attack was the
result of a mistake, and expecting that
it would cease rs soon as the nationality
of his vessel was made known. In this,
however, he was mistaken, for
no sooner did the Moors see the flag
than the firing became more vigorous.
Thereupon the commander ordered the
fire to be returned, and for q time q
brisk cannonade was kept up between
the vessel and the shore. The course
of the gunboat was changed so as to
bring her nearer the shore and render
her fire more effective. The Moors held
their ground until the vessel neared the
shore, when they fed precipitately.

too, with the exception that they, like
the oak leaves, were brown, were as
natural as their model. So exact were
the leaves and ferns that even the mi
