THE MILL-WHEEL.

Down in deep, cool valley,
Where turns mill-wheel slow,
Once dwe|t my best beloved
Who left me long ago.
Her troth With me she plighted,
Gaye me ring-in vain;
That troth was lightly broken,
The ring, too, snapped in twain.
would I were minstrel
To roam the vide world Ger
And sing my song of sadness
As l passed from door to door.
l would I were trooper,
Deep in the bloody fight,
Or by the embers lying
Upon the field at night.
Yes, when l hear it turning. "
That wheel beside the mill,
/ long to cease from living,
For then it would be still.
They were talking about the petty
depredations of servants.
Do you know what old Skinfint used
to do to tell whether his maid servant
had been stealing sugar?
No; what did he do?
Why he shut up fly inside the bowl
If it was still there on his return, he
knew that the coyer had probably not
been very long off.

THE G. p. o. AND CIVIL SERVICE.
A Question Raised ms to the LegnIity
of the Recent Order.

Question Raised ns to the Legality
of the Recent Order.
Some Of those who opposed placing the
government printing office under the civil
service rules have an idea that an investi-
cation will be instituted by the Fifty-fourth
Congress, when it shall have been organ
ized, as to the authority of the President
to place tine office under civil service regu-
lations. It Is urged that the law creating
the bureau prevents such action unless the
act should be repealed. The original law
permits the head Of the Office ito employ,
at such rates of wages as he may deem
for the interest of the government and just
to the persons employed, such proof-read-
ers, compositors, pressmen, binders, labor
ers and other hands as may be necessary
for the execution of the orders for public
printing and binding authorized by law;
but he shall not at any time employ in the
Office more hands than the absolute neces-
stiles of the public work may require"
1t is claimed by those who are dissatis-
fed with the civil service extension that
as no portion of the acts creating the gov
ernment printing bureau has ever been re-
pealed, the public printer Is charged by law
with the employment Of those under him
and that his rights in this respect cannot
be abridged.
At the civil service commission it is said
that the authority of the President to ex-
tend civil service rules to the government
power Is vested in the President from three
sources: By the Constitution of the United
States, by section 1853 of the Revised Stat
utes and by the civil service law. 1t is
said the act of Congress comforting certain
rights upon the public printer must also be
construed in connection with these other
laws, and the construction thus obtained
fixes the Presidents authority in this case.

Ambassador Eustfs on the Figaro In
terview.
PARIS, July 1.-THE Figaro this morning
published a statement by Mr.. James B.
Eustis the United States ambassador to
France, IN which the latter says regarding
the interview Ia which he expressed the
opinion that America would get Cuba and
that American sympathies were with Cuba:
THE fact is now recalled to my memory
that Secretary Vignaud introduced M.
Routier to me on May 13. not as journal
list, but as q writer. According to my Gus
tom, I had a conversation with him. but
certainly. did not authorize NJ. Routier to
publish 1t. He did not tell me he had such
an intention and If he had I should have
taken the necessary precautions. Indeed. 1
should have forbidden him, would have
been my duty, to divulge anything of our
conversation. 1 did not use the language
NJ. Routier attributes to me. and do not
understand why NJ Routier thought he had
the right to invite me to discuss delicate
questions of international politics."
The Estafete, discussing the affair, re-
marks:
TT would not require many such incl
DENTS especially In view of the effect which
1t produced in Spain, to lead to serious
complications with the United States. The
fault rests entirely with the United States,
which, by carrying out the application Of
the Monroe doctrine to an abuse, and by
the ubiquity of their Intervention, disturb
the European nations and injLre in the end
their most legitimate interests"

BOSTON, July 1.-THE greater meetings

gan under favorable conditions. The day
was Cloudy, but did not threaten rain, A
larger part Of the immense crowd that at
tended the meetings went to the Mechanics
Hall, while the others were about equally
divided between tents Williston and En-
deavor on the Boston Commons. 1t is esti-
mated that almost 24,000 delegates attended
the meetings, which were held stimuli
taneously.
Mechanics building has contained big
gatherings of all descriptions, but never
held SO many representatives from all
parts of America, as well as from foreign
lands, as assembled there today. Hundreds
were unable to gain admission to the audi
ence, which held $4,000 people. The stage
portion, reserved for the speakers, was oc-
nearly 1000 voices. This chorus started
songs Of praise long before the convention
formally opened, and continued the hymns
until President Clark appeared on the plat
form.
Rev. Smith Baker Of East Boston led the
devotional exercises, and then President
Clark appointed the business committee,

a number of things that the bare recital of
the facts would hardly seem to justify. He

but was not out Of their control. Irene was
always welcome to home with her. and
Walter had no objection to her going there.
j. r. Robertson, younger brother. did
not seem to like Walters attitude in the
matter, and expressed the opinion that it
would be far better If w alter had never
pressed the charge and given the ease such
publicity. He said that the balance Of the
family were opposed to Walters actions,
and he told the judge that Walter was too
much of a drinking man to be intrusted
with the care of the girl. He offered to be
responsible for her care himself. and eX-
pressed the willingness to give bonds up to
5000 to produce her at any timea This
was the first time since their fathers
death, he said. that Walter had shown the
slightest interest in the girls welfare.
This latter statement was also borne out
by Irene, who took the stand in her own
behalf. The girl told the judge all about
HERSELF, ana answered MS QueSt1OnS Win the
greatest calmness and composure. She said
that she would rather live with her sister
in Falls Church. but Judge Miller said that
1t was too easy for her to come into town
and have a good tine in her own way, and
he intended to put a stop to that sort of
performances. He talked to her very plain
ly and gave her such Q lecture as she has
probably not had in a long time.
Turned Over to the Guardians.
The outcome of 1t all was that Judge
Miller turned the girl over to the charge of
the board of children's guardians. to have
full authority over her until she is twenty
one years of age. The board will make ar
rangements by which she will be intrusted
to the care of Mrs. Taylor, but it will be
under severe restric tions, and Irene will be
prevented from coming into the city when
ever she wants to. for the board will not
allow her to live with any of the others
but Mrs. Taylor, who will he held account
able to the board.
1t begins to look now as though the pros
ecution would have very little to 60 on in
the abduction case against Wimsatt. 1t is
not at all ur ikely that 1t will be dropped.
Irene denies still that he is the man Of last
falls adventure. and her whereabouts
have all been accounted for in satisfac-
tory manner since her return from Colonial
Beach on the Fourth of July 1t would be
little difficult to make out a case OF alb

The U. S. S. Montgomery sailed yesterday
from Colon for Key West. The Nicaragua
canal commission is aboard, having COM

the Montgomery is wanted to join Admiral
Bunce's North Atlantic squadron in the

has countermanded the order to bring the
canal commission to Mobile, whence it
started, and the vessel is ordered to New
York via Key West. The commission
wishes to be put ashore at Key West so
that 1t may come directly by train to Wash

able in view of the fact that it is coming

UNCLE SAM AND STAIN,
Another Era of Good Feeling Has
Set In.

The Spanish government again cabled
Minister Depuy de LONE this morning, pre-
sumably concerning the interview of Am
bassador Eustis. As the minister is in
Boston the cablegram was forwarded to
him there. While nothing definite can be
learned as to the nature of the dispatch,
the belief is entertained that the Spanish
foreign office is entirely satisfied with the
prompt assurances given. by the United
States minister at Madrid yesterday, con-
cerning the inaccuracy of.sthea aEustis In
terview reported. Minister Taylor also
took occasion to assure 1.-The Spanish au-
thorities of the friendly attitude of the
United States. This appears to do away
with everything to which Spain could take
objection, and the cablegram to Senior De
LONE doubtless withdraws the instructions
previously sent him to investigate and
make suitable protest If the facts warrant

Indians told him hat while they
didn't know anything about the white

was an important fact, but it was
much more important that the great
