The exception above named, how
ever, was a source of much discom-

with Miss Helen Davis. and, to the peo-

In only one instance, maize, does the

by extra freights, which must still OPP
crate to III disadvantage in competing
even with Russia
There is still a further consideration.
We're we securing the German market
for such imports as have in ordinary
years been drawn from Russia, we do
not dispose OF that competition in more
important markets, but, on the contrary
intensity it. If Russia is Disseminated
against, even to the point of exclusion,
by Germany, it simply means that her
surplus supplies will find their way in
still greater volume to other countries,
Great Britain for instance. and what
we might gain on the one hand would
certainly be more than lost on the other.
Owing to the extraordinary state Of
things now prevailing throughout En-.

Of the above analysis; but with a re.
turn to normal conditions it will be seen
that the treaty of which so much has
been made is a small matter indeed.

Twas not a woman's wicked vile
From which my soul should flee:
Could l be sure that all your grace,
Your dainty form, your radiant face,
Bore, In their loneliness, no trace
OF artful coquetry;
Could l be sure that, day by day,
Your thoughts on me were bent;
That, were l near or far away,
Your life with mine was blent,
Could l be sure that, through the years,
Your faith would cling mid fortunes leers,
Nor discomfort, nor doubts, nor fears
Be in your bosom penti
Could l be sure that in your eyes
Naught but the truth could shine,
And only woman's love arise .
To gaze from them in mine;
Could | be sure that tongue or pen
Might never err in p~raising when

III could know that your soft words Of praise
Touching my eyes and hair
Were not culled from some poets tender lays
And Used but as a snare;
II could know you really had q heart,
And that you'd find it out If Cupids dart
Should penetrate unto that callous part
And stick and culver there;
II could know that men sometimes were not,
Despite the stories told,
Quite such a desperately wicked lot,
Sinful conceited, bold;
II could know that you, for instance, would
Make some small effort to be fairly good
And treat me as in decency you should
When ! grew wan and old;
II could know that you would always be
The oak unto my vine;
That you'd repay my trust with constancy-
Be just and wise; in fine,
II l could know you were a man OF men,
And that no mortal tongue nor meddling pen
Might make you cease TO love me, ~then-why
then
Id be your valentine.

tempt 10 repeal The Sherman law. The
opponents OF free coinage believe this is

1T WILL COTE AGAIN.
Officials on the Alert for the Re-
appearance of Cholera.
Grave Reason to Fear That the Disease
rlay Become Epidemic i'm Eu-
rope Next Summer.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Surgeon-Geu
Wyman of the Marine Hospital service. in
answer to questions to-day as to the danger
OF the temperance Of cholera during the
spring and summer, said: 1.-TWO factors
render the situation serious. One Is the
appearance of fresh cases at Hamburg.
and the other is the continued prevalence
OF the disease in Russia. Great care has
been exercised TO prevent its gaining a foot
hold on this side of the Atlantic. The
speedy passage of a bill giving clearly de-
fined powers to make precautionary regula-
tions. with sufficient appropriations to
make them effective, is extremely desirable.
Despite all efforts to stop immigration from
the infected countries emigrants from those
countries are persistent In their efforts to
reach the United States. There is also
danger of cholera reaching the United
States from the island OF Cuba, because of
the close commercial intercourse between
Cuba and Spain and other European eoun-
tries. The regulations of the circular Of
August 10. regarding the Importation OF
rags" DR.. Wyman said, will be enforced,
all reports to the contrary notwith-
standing"

The French Government to Have a
Full Expose.

PARIS, Dec. 23.-A conference of the Min
istry this morning resulted in orders for
more arrests in connection with the Pan
ANA canal scandal. 1t is believed Floquet
will be advised TO resign the presidency of
the Chamber OF Deputies, In view of his
revelations OF yesterday as TO the Panama
canal corruption.
At the Cabinet council IL was also re-
solved that the Government acquiesce In q
full debate on Millevoye's Interpolation re-
garding the alleged use OF money advanced
by the Panama Company in the service of
the Government. The Cabinet is fully
aware that the motion Is aimed at the ad-
ministration, IL not the republic, as Mile
yoye is an ardent Boulangist; but President
Carnot has given the fat hat no one will be
spared against whom there is evidence of
guilt, and that the Government must well
come the most searching Investigation. At
the same time the Government hopes to
make the Interpolation a boomerang. by
showing uD the plot of the Boulangists
against the republic and the straits TO
which it drove the Government.
1t is said Deroulede, through his seconds.
Informed Clemenceau before the duel yes
terday that he would continue to attack him
In Parliament IL he survived.
The rigorous treatment of Charles de
Lesseps and Fontane has made tho repub-
lie unpopular with the lower classes, in
Guiding the socialists. and as between n re-
public and monarchy they favor the lat
ter.
The revelations from America In regard TO
Herr do not cause surprise here. The only
surprise Is that shrewd man like Reinach
should have admitted him to his confidence
1t is believed that Herr got wind Of some Of
the canal frauds and used them to the best
OF his personal advantage.
