ing there, huge wrecks, broken spars
and other remnants Of ruin wrought by
the winds and waves, as they were
strewed along the sands as far as the
vision could extend, are in my memory
yet. As We gaze upon this scene, we
naturally ask ourselves, What means
this broken mass produced by human
skill!" and the waves answer, ''these
are the shrouds and tablets that mark
the resting place Of those who sleep be-
meath these sands" Although these
sands are void of vegetation. they are
not without human habitations. About
80 experienced mariners are stationed
there, supported by Briton's purse and
under the charge Of a governor. whose
duty il is to care for life and property.
-Four of the number are designated to
compass the island every morning on
horseback in search of wrecks and on
their return one can imagine he hears

REV. MARK TRAFToN, DID.
Hail, heroes of an early day!
Whose shades around us still do stay,
As when they lived Of yore.
We seem to see each well-known face,
Their footprints still we clearly trace.
Their work still growing fills its place
On times receding shore.
Foremost was LEE with his good steeds,
He. the bold heart. the phalanx leads,
And how to conquer shows;
Through forests led by spotted trees,
Through marshes which no footprint
leaves,
The rushing rivers current cleaves,
And on in triumph goes.
The Muse, impartial, here would fain
Rehearse each hero's deeds and name
Who met the battles shock;
And following their leader bold,
So fearless ssormed the foes stronghold,
And gathered safely in the fold
The idely-scattered flock.
Now on they sweep in grand array,
Situations banner in display,
The watchword, "Chria for all %
With heart appeal. with shout and song,
They roll the living tide along,
Each one becomes a thousand stiong,
And hosts before them fall,
| The blind old Bard of lions fame
Gave TO his heroes each a name,
And each bold deed revealed.
The Muse here halts-she dimly sees
A crowd Of shades as sutumn's leaves,
Each bending under harvest sheaves,
Gathered in this rich field
Yet few stand out distinctly clear

The bond fraternal owns

With HALL, that ighly-honored name,
And BEALE and MUNGER all afiame,
With weeping prophet JoNEs.
There's FoGG, John Calvin's sturdy foe,
And HEATH, whose modest virtues show,
With MARSH in logic skilled;

No church warm greetings gave surprise
No furnished cottage met their eyes,
Few open doors were shown;

! A couch of straw in attic's space,
/ Where they in winters storm might trace
| Their names in snow-tlakes strown.
! Brothers Of Eastern Maine to-day,
/ From kennebec to Quoddy Bay,
Who cultivate that soil,
/ Those laid the cornerstone: you rear
/ Truths stately temple where appear
/ Fruits Of their labors year by year,
The trophies OF their toll.
Can We forget? Not while the sun

Or seasons come and go.
On in their footsteps press. and still

No more from place to place TO roam,
And lay life burdens down.

With shouts of loy each other greet.

And take the victors crown.

miles from either end give it serpent

CANADA'S CABINET.
Its Composition Given Out by a
journal in the Confidence OF
the Government.
Sir John Thompson Will Be Pre-
mier, and Will Introduce
Some New Blood.

TORONTO, Nov. 2S. = The World, a
Conservative paper and in the conf
dence of the government. has the fol-
lowing special from ottawa:
"Of the following things let the
Worlds readers assure themselves as
to the facts: First, Sir John Thompson
has taken up the premiership with the
firm determination to discharge its du-
ties and with no intention Of abandoning
a political career or using politics as
the game for all 1t is worth Next he
takes the premiership unpledged, pri-
vately or publicly, in any way on the
ManitOban question OF schools. Thirdly,
Mr.. Meredith, of Ontario, is not to be
of the new cabinet. FGurth!y, that
tile minor ministerial positions of
solicitor general and comptroller OF Gus
toms and comptroller ofinland revenue,
and the Canadian ministerial position
of frst-claSS rank, viz, Minister OF
trade and commerce, as provided for III
Sir John MacdOnald'S acts of severaI
wears ago, are to be called into immedl-
ate existence. This will give two addi-
tional seats in the ministry, but will re-
duce the cabinet by one. Mr.. Foster VIII
be minister of trade and commerce, and
the TWO comptrollersWiil be under him
with ministerial rank but will not be
in the cabinet. WiththeSe two seats at
his disposal, Sir john will be able TO re-
construct his cabinet and also introduce
more or less new blood.
''As to the details of the cabinet lit
tie can be said other than that Sir John
is TO be prime minister; Mr.. Foster, min
ister OF trade and commerce; John Hag-
gart, minister CT railways and canals;
MIR. Ouimet. minister of public works;
Mr.. Tupper, minister of fisheries, and
Daily, minister of the interior. For the
Others there may be shifting around,
the retirement Of some of the present
ministers and the Introduction OF new
blood Clark Wallace, of West York,
is likely TO be among the new blood.
Gov. Angers Will likely come in as
leader of the senate with portfolio,
but he will not come in by the COM
mons. Gne OF the present French MIN
listers will 90 to oSpencerwood, Mr.. Ives
will be the new English minister from
Quebec in Sir John Abbott's place.
Mr.. Costigan will likely remain in the
cabinet, but the exact composition of
the cabinet, other than those named,
will not be known for some days yet"

AGAINST ANTI-OPTION.
Opposition to Washburn's Pet
Measure Gathering Force in
the South Daily.
Memorial in Opposition to the
Bill Presented to the Geor-
gia Senators.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. 2S.-The opDo-
sition to the Hatch -Wasbburn anti;op-
ton bill is apparently gathering force
daily in the South. Today the secretary
of the Savannah cotton exchange sent
the following memorial to United States
Senators Gordon and Colquitt:
''At meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Savannah cotton exchange
held this day, the board acting under
instructions from the exchange as a
body, it was unanimously resolved that
the anti-option bill, to come up for con-
sideration in the senate on its reassem-
bling in December, If passed, would be
of very great injury to the agricultural
and commercial industries OF the cOun-
try by prohibiting convenient and nee
essary method of dealing in futures.
The assertion that the exchanges of the
country are banded together for the
purpose of depressing the prices of
farm produce is entirely and absolutely
refuted by the recent advance of about
three cents per pound in cotton
from the lowest price touched last
spring, in the face of an enor
nous surplus carried over, and due
solely to Il short crop. This rise in the
value of cotton proves beyond contrO-
versy the laws of supply and demand
regulate values. and that the exchanges
do not depress prices as claimed. Ii it
were not for the exchanges that deal in
futures, the producer would be at the
mercy of the consumer alone, who would
more largely deal from hand to mouth
and thus force the farmer to dispose of
his product at ruinous prices. We
therefore beg to request that, as our
representatives in the United States
senate, you will use your influence to
prevent further legislation OH the sub
ject, and do all in your power to pre-
vent the passage of the said or similar

SAYS IT'S a GO.
ST. Louis Brewers Believe in the
Proposed Consolidation.

Proposed Consolidation.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. Notwithstanding
denlals from Chicago and Milwaukee,
there is general feeling here that the
proposed consolidation of the largest
four export breweries of the United
States, as detailed in the Associated
Press dispatches last night, is sure
thing. While the local brewers cannon
account for the statement of the SchlltZ
people in Milwaukee that there is MOTH
ing in it, they call attention to the fact
that denial from Chicago by President
Cooke, of the Cooke Brewing company,
is of no effect.
1.-The consolidation was to be one of
the largest four brewerles manufacture
ing beer for export" said local brew
er today, 'whlle Mr.. Cooke speaks only
for those who brew for home cOnsump-
tion. The Rothschilds certainly do not
care to back any local enterprise, but 1t
can readily be understood tnat they
would be interested in scheme Of such
gigantic and far-reaching proportions
as that published this morniDg."
An evening paper here contains an
interview with A ugust Busch, son of
Adolphus Busch, on whose statement
the published article was based, Ill
which the son says lie KNOWS holniiiS
about the proposed consolidation. An
attempt was made by the Associated
Press representative to again see
Adolphus Busch, but that gentleman
left this morning for San Antonio, lex,
to meet contractors having i'll charge
the construction of brewery at HouS-
ton, Tex, which is to be under the con-
troll of the Anheuser-Busch association.
w. j. Lemp, president of the other st.
Louis brewery, mentioned as being in
the proposed combination, refused to
talk concerning the matter.
O. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2S.-The Mil
Waukee brewers smile over the st. Louis
story Of big brewery combine. One
brewer said today that 1t might be that
Mr.. Busch wished to sell out. Capt.
Fred Pabst, who is at the head of the
biggest bre very in the world, said today
of the st. Louis story:
"There is absolutely no even sus-
picion of truth in the rumor. Nobody
bias made any proposition to this com
pany III the interest Of the Rothschllds
or anybody else"
Henry Uehlein, of the Schlitz Brew
ing company, said the story was an in
ventiOn out of whole cloth, so far as the
Schlitz brewery was concerned.

Three Million Bushels Of Grain
Locked in the Elevators

Ten Locomotives With Crews
Have Been Sent to Relieve

Farmers Who Depend on Their
1 Wheat for Money Unable
to Meet Payments.
No Probability Of Raising the
Blockade Till the Middle

Special to the Globe.

HURON, S. D., Nov. 2S.-The South
Dakota grain blockade is likely to prove
serious. Chairman Rice, of the state
railway commission, says complaints
and demands for cars are coming from
all parts of the state more urgent and
imperative than during the last year.
There is blockade of million bushels
OF wheat in the elevators and ware
houses on the Dakota Central division
OF the Chicago d Northwestern await
ing shipment, and double that amount
on other lines. Last month the Dakota
Central hauled out over a million BUSH
els. Ten locomotives with crews have
been added the past week, and every
thing possible is being done to relieve
the present distress of buyers. Many
points have been given notice that no
more wheat will be received till storage
can be had. This is annoying to farm
ers who are depending Oh their wheat
to get money to meet obligations at the
close Of the year, and is likely to cause
trouble IN some places. There is little
probability that relief can be afforded
before the middle of January.

he was feeling very good.
The future plans Of Mr.. Cleveland
are still matters Of uncertainty and con-
