HIS LAST POEM.

In the highlands, in the country places,
Where the old, plain men have rosy faces
And the young fair maidens
Quiet eyes;
Where essential silence cheers and blesses,
And forever in the Hill recesses
Her more lovely music
Broods and dies.
Oh, to mount again where erst I haunted,
Where the old red hills are bird enchanted.
And the low green meadows
Bright with sward:
And when evening dies, the million tinted,
And the night has come, and planets glinted
Lo, the valley hollow
Lamp bestarred!
Oh, to dream, oh. to awake and wander
There, and with delight to take and render
Through the trance of silence
Quiet breath:
Lo, for there, among the flowers and grasses
Only the n.ightier movement sounds an
passes,
Only winds and rivers,
Life and death.
r. L. Stevenson

THE AMENDE HONORABLE.
Spain Disavows the Allianca Incident and Con- niles Specifically With the Demand of
 the State Department

Washington, June 4.--The reply of Spain to the late Secretary Greshana's cabled demand of March 15 in the Ali anca affair, reached the state depart ment several days ago, having been deliv- cred to Minister Taylor at Madrid on May 16
 The department of state has declined to make public the contents of the commu- nication which is long and exhaustive but authorizes the announcement that Spain, after full investigation, disavows the act of the commander of the Condo Venadto in firing on the Allianca off Maysi, Cuba, on March 8, expresses re- gret at the occurrence and assures this government that measures have been taken to prevent a repetition of the mat ter.
 Secretary Greshams demand through Minister Taylor declared that this gov- ernment would expect prompt disavowal of the unauthorized act, due expression of regret on the part of Spain and posi- tive orders to Spanish naval commanders not to interfere with American vessels passing through the windward passage. As Spain has compiled specifically with these demands the incident is consid- cred closed.

"An Exceedingly Likely Guess" Is the Way a

ANNOUNCEMENT MAY BE MADE AT ONCE
Or IL May Be Deferred--The Attorney Gen eral Will Not Accompany Mrs. Ol- ney and Mrs. Cleveland on Their
 Journey to Massachusetts.

Washington, June Although no of ficial announcement has yet been made. the impression that Attorney-General Olney will be transferred from the de partment of justice to the department of state is so general in the best informed quarters that it is accepted as strong probability, or as one cabinet officer put it this afternoon, in non-committal way, "an exceedingly likely guess"
 The president may announce his inten- lions in the matter at a late hour to- night or he may defer it to a later day MT. Olney, it is stated, will not accom- pany Mrs. Olney and Mrs. Cleveland on their journey to Massachusetts tomor- row, but may leave Washington for Fal- mouth. Mass, about the same time that the president starts for Gray Gables, week or ten days hence.

IN A BLAZE OF ROCKETS
The Cook County Delegates Proceed to Spring field More Fireworks There--Cams
 and Counter Claims.

Chicago. June 4-Final preparations for the trip by the Chicago and Cook county delegates to the silver conven- tion at Springfield were completed last night at the headquarters of the demo- cratic central committee. The secre- tary, Robert b. Burke, has arranged ev- erything and train load of democrats will be hauled into Springfield at 6 o'clock tonight. Immediately upon it's arrival the delegates, with the band and marching club as an escort, will proceed to the executive mansion to serenade Governor Altgeld.
 grand fireworks display will be made en route, and this will prove one of the Leaving the governoTs residence the delegates will be escorted to the hotel and more pyrotechnics will be indulged ina All told there will be from 700 to 800 persons in the Cook county crowd in- cluding the delegates. Secretary Burke claims that of 346 delegates fully 325 are for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 and will vote for this platform in the convention On the other hand the hon. est money league claims there will be at least seventy-five votes against this proposition in the Cook county delega- ton. Secretary Burke estimates the number of free silver votes in the con vention at SS0, out of 1075 delegates It IS practically certain all of the business of the convention will be concluded Monday.
 Representative hall will be cleared for the convention Wednesday, desks re- moved, chairs placed and flags and bunt- ing displayed.
 In an interview last night Chairman Hinreichsen of the democratic committee stated: Up to this time delegates chosen amount to 1000. Every county with the single exception of perhaps one will be represented, and many figures show that out of the 1076 delegates 10Oo of them will be for free silver at a ratio of 16 to l. without waiting for an inter- national agreement. Whether the con vention will take up any question other than currency I cannot say, but am of the opinion the platform adopted will not go outside of the currency question and things closely related thereto.
 1T feel confident that we have taken the right step and at the right time. This talk of it's being too far in advance of the next presidential campaign is all bosh."

oFTHEsKEToH WARPED $50, ,o0o
And the Jury Quickly Gave Him Half. Lawyer Paine's Domestic Relations Were Straight and Not to Be
 Trifled With

New York. June 4.-One of the largest verdiets ever rendered against news paper in a libel suit in this country was that rendered today by the supreme court by jury before Judge Ingraham against the Press Publishing company (World) for $25,000 damages. The action was brought by William L. Paine to re- cover $50,000 damages. MT. Paine is a lawyer, and for about twenty years prior to the time that he came to this city he had resided in Wilkesbarre, Pa, where he practiced his profession. The World published from it's correspondent at Wilkesbarre a story to the effect that MT. Paine had eloped from that city with the wife of a friend, Mrs. Maggie Lee, and had come to this city and mar ried her, and, after squandering her money, had deserted her.
 It seemed that but little effort had been made to get at the truth of the facts, although MT. Paine was living with the woman in this city at the time of the publication of the story in 1892. The fact was that MT. Paine was mar ried to Mrs. Lee. There was no elope- ment whatever She obtained a divorce from her husband about four months prior to the time of her marriage to MT. Paine. They came to this city and took up their residence here. and have been living here peaceably ever since. They have four children, two by this marriage and two being Mrs. Paine's children by her former marriage MT Paine and his wife both testified to these facts.
 It took the jury but few minutes to give Lawyer Paine the verdict.

Montgomery, June 1.
 Lieut.. Samuel G. Jones has returned from Mobile, where he went in company with Col. L. B. Holt to locate the grounds and make all necessary arrange ments for the coming brigade encamp- ment of Alabama state troops. Lieuten- ant Jones says that the site he has se- lected and staked off is a. beautiful plat of ground and exactly suited to the pur- poses for which it is designed, though the parade ground appears to be somewhat small. The contract has been let for lighting the camp and for furnishing water, etc. Transportation for the troops has been secured from the rail- roads by the adjutant-general Ar rang gements will be made for the cav airy companies of Montgomery, Selma and Camden to go to Mobile by steam boat, and no doubt this arrangement will greatly please the cavalrymen.

 Meridian, Miss. June 4.-Hon. H. C. McCabe of Vicksburg candidate for gov ernor of Mississippi spoke in behalf of his candidacy at the city hall here to- night. He was introduced to the audi ence in an eloquent speech by w l.. Goldsmith, president of the Sound Money league. Mir McCabe stated that when he announced his candidacy it was his pur- pose to discuss state issues, but as these had been forced into the background and national issues brought into the campaign to take their place he felt no hesitancy in declaring his position on whatever was to be discussed before the people.
 "The governorship," MT. McCabe said, belongs the people, but his convic- tions belonged to himself, and he would not sacrifice these to be governor of Mis- sissippi." He announced himself as be- ing opposed to the free coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to1. He made splen- did argument in behalf of sound money, and his speech was frequently ap- plauded.

ACTING IN GOOD FAITH BeImont-Morgan Syndicate Is
 Protecting Treasury Gold.
 FIRST TWO DAYS OF JUNE
Show That More Gold Is Being Withdrawa Than
 Business Requires.
wHATwItL HAPPEN wHENe CONTRACTS UP
Is Subject Concerning Which Treasury Officials Are Silent-Amount ofPaper Money Presented Daily for Re-
 demption Is Watched.

Washington, June 4.-Since January 1 the treasury department has lost within $10, GOO as much gold as it gained by the sale of bonds to the Belmont-Morgan syndicate. The gold lost-$55 162,00 = was paid out in the redemption of United States notes and treasury notes and most of these notes. at least seven- eighths have been presented for pay ment at New York city.
 On February the agreement with the Belmont-Morgan syndicate went into effect, and by it's terms the syndicate agreed to protect the treasury gold as much as possible. Of the $55, 1892 900 lost since January but $6,000O00 are charge able between February and June !. During the month of May gold with drawn for redemption purposes has az gregated $100O000. or at the rate of about 5000 a day.
 For the first two days of June the withdrawals amounted to $l0l 900. These figures show, in the opinion of treasury officials, that the Belmont-Morgan syn dicate is using all legitimate efforts to protect the treasury gold; but they also show that more gold is being withdrawn than is required for ordinary business purposes. The syndicate has now ful- filled it's contract within $S,O00,0 900, and is said to De ahead Ol US pay lileIio D. The treasury gold reserve stands at S99, ,250, GOO, and if withdrawals in large amounts are not made for redemption purposes when the $S, ,000,0 900 in gold owed by the syndicate is paid in the gold re- serve will foot up fully $106,000. .00o
 What the effect will be upon the treas ury after the expiration of the syndi- cate's contract is a subject that is not discussed at the treasury, but judging from the past the gold withdrawals will be much heaver than for the past four months and will materially weaken the gold reserve. Aside from the gold re- ceived from the syndicate during the past four months the treasury has had several other sources of supply. The gold received from customs has been light, not aggregating one-tenth of per cent. From original coinage the gold re- ceived has aggregated several million dollars while in exchange for silver cer- tifcates of small denominations for the removal of the crops from the south and west considerable gold has found its way into the treasury. Under the treasury regulation authoriz- ing the exchange of the Worlds fair souvenir half dollars for gold more than $70,O00 has been received from this source. The supply Of souvenir coin is fast being exhausted. The amount of paper money presented daily at the treas ury for redemption in gold is now being watched with Interest.
