A poeticnl De.ecration.

III independent.
We offer a protest against the desecra-
ton of the sonnet. A sonnet is something
which is more nearly sacred than any
other poetic convention. A sonnet must
be perfect; Ii must have no lapses in the
number of lines. in the rhymes: or in the
sonnet; but If a man does write a sonnet
he must do it correctly. These remarks
are suggested by a sonnet entitled Book
ra." by so good a writer as Charles ID
Warner, in Harper's Magazine Tor OCTOBER.
1t reads as follows:
Zone night / lay asleep in Africa.
In a garden close by the city gate;
A desert horseman, furious and late.
Came wildly laundering at the closed bar.
Mustapha!
Rage from Fee to Tetuan. Open straight
ahe to. I'm peace the city lies asleep.
To Allah, all-knowing, no news you
And turned in slumber still his watch to
keep.
At once a nightingale began to sirg.
In Oriental calm the garden lay
Panic and war postponed another day"
This has fourteen lines. and that is about
the only sonnet rule that is followed. The
rhyme of the first, fourth. fifth and eighth
lsnss 1s siv afar. oS We are Mera surprised plraei' if Pa in
Hartford the final r to bar and afar is lost.
The second line,
I'm a garden close by the city gate"
does not have FIVE iambi. To read it as
equally impossible to scan the seventh line.
and the tenth line is quite as bad These
three lines each have ten syllables; but
the measure in the second and tenth is
anapestic while the seventh has
no measure at all. 1t is a very pretty
story; but 1t is a pity he put 1T into poetry.

CONSTANTINoPLE. Oct. 1s.-Advices re-
persons were killed or wounded during the
rioting there between the Turks and the
Armenians. A communication made public
by the Turkish government states that the
Armenians at Trebizond attacked the Mus
selmans before the authorities could inter-
vene and hat fifty persons were killed
or ounde on both sides. 1t is added
that the Armenians at Rodosta, Armenia
also tried to attack the Musselmans of
hat place, but they were prevented from
so doing by the police. During the dis
turbance an Armenian was killed by a
policeman. The Russian government has
Cancelled the order for the dispatch Of a
war ship to Trebizond. owing to the repre-
sensations of the Russian consul there that
1t might lead to further excitement and
disorder.
The last patches of Armenians left the
churches of STEAMBOAT, in which they had
sought refuge yesterday, in the presence
of the dragomans of the different embas-
sizes, the government having promised that
the refugees should not be molested. None
or the Armenians was arrested. The drag
omans received an ovation from the Ar
menian population. Tbs Sultan, during the
day, sent a message TO Sir Philip Currie,
the British ambassador, expressing his sat
isfaction at the success of the measures
taken by the ambassadors to clear the Ar
menian churches of refugees. Later, Sir
Philip Currie had an audience with the
Sultan, and, at the latter's request, Osman
Bey, was sent to Besika bay, near the
entrance of the Dardanelles. to survey sites
for forts there. Three vessels, laden with
ammunition, hate been dispatched to the
forts of the Dardanelles, and il is now
known beyond a doubt that the work of
laying submarine mines in the straits has
been commenced.

AMERICAN BLUE JACKETS SENT TO

Officers of the Kings Party Hiding I'm
Admiral Carpenters Advfces.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-Admiral Carpen-
ter, in command of the Asiatic squadron.
cabled the Navy Department to-day that
he had dispatched the gunboat Petrol from
Che-Foo to Chemulpo. the seaport nearest
Seoul, the capital of Corea. The Admiral
sent also a cipher cable. in which he said
that affairs in Seoul are in a very disturbed
state. and that officers Of what is. known
as the Kings party have taken refuge in
the United States legation building. 1t is
reported. Admiral Carpenter says, that the
Queen of Corea has been assassinated. At
the urgent demand of the United States
charge d'affai-es at Seoul. Admiral Car
penter says the marine guard of the cruiser
Yorktown in the harbor of Chemulpo was
sent to Seoul for the protection of the lega-
ton and American interests generally. The
Admiral also says that, as a further protec-
ton, he ordered the gunboat Petrol to pro-
coed from Che-Foo to Chemulpo without
delay, and tina she started this morning.
The orders of the Petrol require her to
cross the Yellow sea. and it is expected
that she will cover the distance in three
days at the most.
According to unofficial reports, the
Queens palace has been invaded by a mob
and the Queen shot. She has been regarded
as the main influence in the progress Of the
Corean affairs. although the King is NOM
inal ruler. The. main significance of the
present agitation is that IL reopens the
question of Japan's influence in Corea. The
riots are said TO have resulted from con-
fiicts between the japanese and anti-Japan-
csc elements. Prince PAX. who was driven
from Corea for his too-zealous adherence
TO the Japanese cause, called at the Navy

OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
Its Evolution rs iewe by the
Speaker, a London Newspaper.

Speaker, a London Newspaper.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Speaker to-day
publishes a long article dealing with the
evolution of the foreign policy of the
United States. citing. as examples, the Ven
ezuelan and Cuban questions. in the course
Of which it says: THE United States, as a
great power. Is coming into foreign pol
itics, and is coming to stay. The process
of evolution Of the American foreign pol
icy has been gradual, but unmistakable,
and in the last few weeks we have had in
dications of the existence of aspirations
which may at any moment lead to the act
i've participation of America in a foreign
war. Her Intervention in the Venezuelan
dispute is not warranted by any treaty or
precedent in international law, and can
only be defended on the ground that the
Monroe doctrine henceforth will be acted
on as governing all the foreign policy OF
the United States, and what Is more ser
rious is hat ii is not the Monroe doctrine
pure and simple. but that doctrine with de-
.velopments- Her action means hat the
weaker states OF America can count on the
assistance of the United States in frontier
disputes with any foreign colopy. The
further than the friendly suggestion that we
refer the question to arbitration: but ii Is
backed and supported by claims which log
ically point to a declaration that :nterfer-
ence with the frontier claimed by venezu-
Ella win be regarded in Washington as a
declaration OF war against the United
States. This is a serious affront, and ii is
to be feared that 1t Is not quite appreciated
at it's proper value in Downing street.

NEW YORK, Oct. R.-The Worlds Lon
don correspondent cables: ut Is the gossip
OF the clubs that Lord SackvilIe's publica-
ton was as much due 70 anger against
Lord Salisbury as against Mr.. Bayard.
Ever since Lord Sackville's return from
Washington he has sought another ap-
pointment as a vindication and lately made
a strenuous but futile application for one
of the vacant colonial governorships. The
interesting fact, never hitherto published,
may now be made known that a demand
for Lord Sackville's recall was mooted in
Washington some months before the. Muir
Gibson incident. When General Phil Sher-
idan was buried in the summer of 1855,
it was stated that while every other lega-
tion was represented in full uniform at the
funeral. not a single member of the Brit
ish legation was present, although
invitations were issued by the
State Department. and the ceremony
which on the part of foreign repr esenta-
uveS could only be regarded as discoartesy-
handing officer OF the American army was
OF Irish birth made the absence e any rep
resentative of the British legation even
extensively discourteOus. Inquiry showed
