WHAT MY LOVER SAID.
By HoHER GREENE

BY the merest chance in the twilight gloom
In the orchard path he met me
In the tall wet grass, with its faint perfume,
And tried to pass, but he made no ROOM
o, I tried, but he would not let me.
50 stood and blushed TIL the grass grew red,
With my face bent down above It.
How the clover lifted its sweet pink head,
TO listen to all that my lover satdt
o, the clover in blOoml love It,
In the high wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low wet leaves hung over.
But could not pass on either side
For found myself. when Vatnly tried,
In the arms Of my steOdfast lover.
And he held me there and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before me;
And he looked down into my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from the Doughs
o'erhead
To listen to what my lover saidl
o, the leaves hanging loWly DER mel
I am sure that he knew when he held me fast,
That must be all unwilling;
For tried to 60 and would have passed,
As the night was come with its deWs at last,
An the sky with it's stars was filling.
But he elasped me close. when I would have
And he made me hear his story.
And his soul came out from his lips and said
fed
To listen to all that my lover saidl
o, the moon and the stars in glOryi
know that the grass and the leaves viii not
tell.
And am sure that the wind precious rover,
VIII carry his secret so safely and well
That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lips of my lover.
And the moon and the stars that looked over
Shall never reveal what fairy-like spell
They wove round about us that night in the
dell
In the path through the dew-Iaden clover;
Nor tina whispers that made my heart TO swell,
AS they fell from the lips OF my lover

The Rehrlng Arbitration.

PARIS, July 2O.-President Carnot has ap-
pointed Baron Courcel, who is a senator and
was formerly an am bassador to Berlin, as
arbitrator in the Behring sea affair.
He speaks English well, which is an essen
tial condition, as the United States and Crest
Britain have claimed from the start, as a
matter of right, that the discussions should
be held in English. The French, on the other
hand, maintained that the discussions should
be carried on in the French language. Finally
it was decided that English should be spoken
during the discussions, and that the protocols
and decision should be drawn up in French
In this way diplomatic traditions will be pre-
served. After it has been drawn up, the de-
cision will be officially translated into Eng
lish. The arbitration will begin in Paris
next October.

It RaIsed the Price.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July BIT is stated
by the department of agriculture that the in
spection of meats, especially of pork, by the
officers of that department. under the. act of
March 3, 1891, has had the effect of adding
at least half cent per pound to the value OF
hogs marketed since the withdrawal of for
eign prohibition, which resulted from the en-
forcement of the act. The department says I:
''The efficiency of the inspection is well at
tested by the increased price in the markets,
not only of this country, but of the world, of
American meats bearing the inspection eerti-
f1cate of the department of agriculture.
Meats bearing this certificate command half
q cent more per pound in our own markets (;
and although the law in Great Britain does
not exact our inspection as prerequisite to
the importation, the packers have advices
from their agents in that country that the
United States certificate on American pork
adds from two to three shillings per 100 to
its market Yalue.S The packers are, in conse-
quence, urging the department to increase
the inspection facilities to enable them
to enlarge their shipments of inspected meats
to Great Britain.

A Clever Trick.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 21.-A conspiracy
to rob railroads centering in this city has
been formed and carried out by two passen-
ger solicitors, two ticket brokers and large
humber of conductors. 1t has been investi-
yated by detective John p. Slough, of the
Santa Fe, which will probably lead to the
arrest of a number of conspIrators.
The system worked by tho conspirators
was the carrying of passengers out of this
city at half fare, the proceeds of such bust
ness being divided equally among ali inter,
ested. The passenger, for instance, would
be turned over to a solicitor by broker.
The solicitor would put the passenger on his
train and the conductor, who would OF
course. be IN the conspiracy, would collect
from him only half fare, the amount being
divided equally among himself, solicitor and
broker. 1t IS said that no less than two so
iicifors. two brokers and over fifty conduc-
tors are implicated in the conspiracy, then
victims being nearly all roads eenter1ns
here. The Santa Fe and Memphis are sald
to be .he heaviest losers. Arrests ART expect
ed to follow soon.

Who Shall Control2

PIrTsBURG, Pa, July 21.-The develop
ments ofthe last few days have proved be-
yond doubt that the controversy between
the owners of the Carnegie steel works and
striking workmen is not one of wages, but
one of principle. The mill owners are not so
intent on reduction of wages as they are on
property and business in their own hands.
The men are not so much alarmed by the
prospect of a reduction of wages as they are by
the danger that the power of the Amalga-
mated association will be broken. The
amount involved in the question of wages IS
comparatively Insignificant. The proposed
reduction would only affect 325 men out of
3, 500, and most CT those affected would still
earn higher wages than they did when the
last scale was adopted three years ago.

NEW YoEK, July 1s.-R- g. Dun q Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade states that the crop
reports promise results not equal to last
years.
With a decrease Of only per cent, the
wheat yield would be far beyond the quantity
consumed and exported in any previous year
except last, and nearly equal to last years
consumption and exports. The prices have
dropped below q cents, but since have been
stronger. The western receipts were large,
there being 1900, 900 bushels in three days
and exports of H. 900 bushels IN the same
time.
The cornIacreage shows a decrease Of ~
per cent, and the price has dropped 35S cents
during the week. Oats have declined cents,
while hog products are stronger, pork being
% cents per barrel higher. Coffee unchanged
The cotton report shows condition only
per cent. below that of last year, and on any
estimate of acreage, the yield, with the sur
plus still IN sight, will mOEe than meet all
the demands for the year.
Pig iron has been weak at a recent reduc
ton IN price. The closing of many mills has
greatly incressso the immediate demand for
finished products, and prices are stronger,
though the contracts for future delivery are
at the old prices, and for beams the Lowest
ever quoted.
Wool is active and prices are unchanged.
Business has been active in dry goods for
the season. COttOns are strong.
The money markets are abundantly sup
piled. The banks have been refusing certi-
hcates to gold exporters, and the redemption
of notes has withdrawn coin from the treas
ury, which nevertheless, holds much gold
as a week ago.
The business failures of the past week were
$50, compared with 176 the previous week.
For the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 274.

Pattlson stays a Week.

Governor Pattison arrived at Homestead
IN the midst of a drenching rain, and was es-
cCrted from the station to the camp by sew
eral hundred cavalrymen. The first intima-
ton the strikers and their families had of his
presence was the firing of artillery. The
arrival of the governor was watched from
afar, through downpour of water, by a few
of the strikers, the leaders peering out of the
upper windows of the headquarters of the
Amalgamated association.
They saw a long lire of cavalry ascend the
slippery road, the infantry rushing out of
their tents as alert at the booming of the
cannon as the women and children In the
town; then the halt of the cavalry on the
crown of the hill and finally over above the
din of cannon adding cheer after cheer for
the governor.
Hugh Ross, one of the leading strikers for
whom a warrant is out for murder, was IN a
little group at the Amalgamated headquarters
grimly awaiting his arrest and meanwhile
observing the governors triuInphal progress
up to headquarters.
When he arrived at camp, Governor Patti
son drove at once to General Snowden' E
Headquarters. His primary purpose Is to
inspect the state troops. One OF his aides
stated that probably the governor would re-
main at headquarters a week.
The first brigade, stationed at Lebanon,
was ordered home. The whole brigade broke
camp and Is on its way to Philadelphia

Drawing to a FOCUS.

PITrsBURe, Pa, July 19--The steamer
Tide, loaded with provisions, started fer the
works at Homestead She passed through
lock No. 1, where six or eight men boarded
her. The report at the lock was that they
were laborers.
One of the leading officials of the Carnegie
Steel company was found at the general Office
sorting over a miscellaneous COLLECTION of
mail, among which were many letters max
ing applications for positions in the Home
stead mills.
Others expressed dissatisfaction with the
strike, and were intended to square the writ
ers with the firm when the trouble is over.
Among the letters was the following, which
the reporter was permitted to copy, emitting
the signature:
Carnegie Steel Company.
There was good many of U.s. out for SYM
pathys sake, but sympathy does not fill a
hungry stomach, and there is no use for &, SOC
men to stay out for 200, who. make from Sc
to SIS day. They can stand it to take a
vacation if they saved their money, but we
mechanics do not receive such large amount,

In Idaho.

WARDNER, IDAHO, July 19.-Three passen-
ger coaches loaded with non-niOn men, who
were recently sent out of the county, returned
here escorted by a special tram loaded with
regular troops. The trip to Wardner was IN
eventful. General Carlin had 400 troops
drawn up around Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mills and the railroad depot. The strictest
martial law was enforced and there was not
the slightest sign of disturbance while the
nOn-union men were being unloaded. The
returning non-uuion men were armed with
Winchesters. At the station they gave up
their rifles and marched unarmed to their
destination.
General Carlin issued proclamation cali
ing upon ali the members of the miners
union to surrender. He later issued another
order, commanding all the strikers to be
arrested wherever found and disarmed and
imprisoned.
Besides President O'Brien and Secretary
Bynton, of the miners union, twenty-five
other members of that organization were
arrested at once.

Warrants have been issued. and the men Will
be arrested, with the exception of Hugh
O'DOnnell, who is out of the city.
The informations were made by I. F. Love-
Joy, secretary of the Carnegie Steel company.
The news created great deal of excitement
among the strikers.
The Beaver Falls employees of the Carne-
gies kept their threat and did not go to work.
Consequently the mill did not resume.
Dispatches from Duquesne say that an
Amalgamated lodge will be formed there and
that the men assert that the employees there
will strike.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July ia meeting of
foremen, superintendent of departments
and boss mechanics of the Carnegie mill has
been held and action was taken which Will
have an important bearing on the situation.
These men are not on strike and they have
not until now taken any action. They re-
solved that they would not operate the works
under an armed guard. This decision prac-
tically means that the mills will not he run
with non-uniOn labor and the Carnegie COM
pany must settle with its Homestead men
before resuming operations.

White Corn for Mexico,

KANSAS CITY, July 21.-The Mexicans are
still buying white corn, and the consequence
is that the price is ''out of sight" White
corn, which is the only variety taken by the
Mexicans, sells at Kansas City at 81 cents,
while mixed brought 43 cents. Ordinarily
there is about cent difference in price be-
tween these two, but the fact that every grain
of white that comes to market is anxiOusly
gobbled up by the Mexicans accounts for the
present remarkable difference in value.
