That glorious gula night.
With the fragrance Of roses about her.
In her dainty. pure white gown.
She was, as be whispered to hog,
"Tlie prettisst girl in town."
She smiled and flushed and denied II,
As pretty girl must do.
But by her hearts deep conten.ment
Shc knew that he thought it true,
And they danced to tho thrilling music
Oh. life was rapture them
Whom she was the prettiest girl In town.
And he WIGS the frst Of men!
They parted with ansr!shcd sorrow:
Time cleared the cloudcd sky,
But us last nights ball she lived again
In the charmed days some by.
Els son and her daughter wore dancing.
Tho girl In pure white gown.
And she heard him say az they passed beg.
"You're the prettiest girl In town."

Engiand's Intended Action.
LONDON, March 13.--The important an
norncement made by the Times this morn
ing that the Egyptian troops will advance
up the Nile forthwith to occupy pongola,
was officially confirmed by the foreign Of
flee today. The Times also said editorially
of this announcement, with good deal of
ostentaton: 1T hardly need be said that
the advance upon Dongoa will greatly bene-
fit the Italians, and the British government
must have had this desirable object in view
in asserting to the British advance. Taken
in connection with the evidences that Count
Goluchowski has succeeded by his visit to
Berlin, in strengthening the ties of the ex-
listing Dreibund, Great Britain's diversion in
Egypt in favor of member Of the Dreibund
is regarded rs extremely significant. 1t
must be borne in mind, however that Great
Britain has looked with favorable eye upon
the Italian campaign In Africa all along
though she has hitherto declined active as
sistance, as an Italian success would tend
to add to the prestige Of European arms
in Africa, and consequently to the strength
ening of British interests In the Soudan."
There has been oft-repeated reports that
Great Britain had ceded to italy the port
of Celia, on the strait Of Bab-el-Mandeb,
which Italy much desired 10 obtain, in order
to facilitate her operations in Abyssnia.
But the report was as often denied, and
the failure of Italy to obtain the port was
said to be due to the objections advanced
by France. Baron de Courcel, the French
ambassador in London, paid long visit
to the foreign office this afternoon, to which
importance is attached in the public mind.
The visit is supposed to be connected with
the proposed advance upon Dongola.
The correspondent at Cairo of the Times
says: The ultimate objest of the advance
on Dongola is doubtless the relief Of Cas-
sala, whose capture by the dervshes would
become aserious menace to Suakim and
Tokar. The possession of the fertile prov
ince of Dongola is essential for the protec-
tion of Egypt from dervIsh raids, as, besides
being convenient to the base of hostile op-
erations, 1t furnishes large food supplies
to the Soudan countries under the khalifa' s

LONDON. March 14.--A dispatch from
Berlin to the Times describes stormy
scene in the Reichstag. II arose through
Herr Bebel one OF the socialist leaders, ac-
cusing DR.. Carl Peters the African ex-
plorer while he was imperial commissioner
to Africa. in 1891, with causing negro and
negress to be hanged without trial to the
nearest tree, because they had taken a
fancy to each other, Of which DR.. Peters,
being himself intimate with the negress.
dlsapproved. The German officer refused to
execute the sentence. Nevertheless. the
claimed officially that the negroes were
hanged as spies. After that the English
bishop, Tucker. declined TO receive DR.. Pc
ters, saying he would have nothing to do
wrote to Bishop Tucker eontendng that
he was married 10 the negress, according
to the African custom, and Therefore had a
right to put her to death for adultery. 2
Dr. Kayser, director Of the colonial de-
partment. in reply to Herr Bebel. expressed
doubts whether African travellers could be
Judged according to Esropean standards.
He tried TO molllfy the house by referring
to Hermann Wlssman's spotless character,
but although. he gave long expla
to the effect THAT an investigation had
shown that the negroes were guilty of
theft and other offenses. and that DR.. Pc
ters could not be incrimnated, he failed
TO satisfy the house Dr. Kayser then said
further that the government desired the
facts, but 1t was difficult TO pass Judgment
in such eases 1t had been intended TO place
DIR. Peters at Tanganika. believing. such
incidents could not occur under Wis0man.
But II was discovered that Dr. Peters was
so unpopular that he was not appointed.
DR.. Kayser's speech met frequent inter-
ruptions and shouts OF Murderer" Rob
ber," 'ScaEialous" etc

for Explanations.
LONDON, March 13.-The government
was questioned in the House Of Commons
today regarding the sensational reports cir
culated by news agency, that the Italians
had suffered additional reverses in Africa re-
Gently. The under secretary Of state for the
foreign Office, Mr.. George N. Curzon, in
reply said that the government had no
news of the reported reverse in which the
Italian garrison of Sabdevati, between Kas-
sala and Adigrat had been compelled to
retreat to the hills. Mr.. Curzon added that
the telegraph line from Kassala to the north
was open showing, he added, that nothing
important had happened.
Mr.. Curzon also promised on Monday
next, to make a statement to the House In
regard to the reports that British Egyptian
troops were to be moved from Wady Halfa
up the Nile and in the direction OF Dongola
in order to make diversion and thus assist
the Italian troops which had been pressed
by the Abyssinans.
Mr.. Curzon, replying to question regard
ing the reported expulsion from the republic
Of Colombia of the British minister there,
Mr. G. G. Il. B. Jenner said that Mr.. Jen-
ner had cabled that the Colombian govern
ment had notified him that in the future
1t would not recognize him as the repre-
sentative of Great Britain. Mr.. Curzon
added that the Colombian government had
not yet been heard from on the subject.
Sir Richard Webster, the attorney gem
eral, replying in the House Of Commons
to the criticisms upon alleged discrepancies
In the Venezuelan blue book, said that the
reason all the quotations in the preliminary
statement were not found in the appendiS
was that some Of the documents were not
printed. He added that all of the quotations
will be found in the original documents, OF
which a second collection will shortly be
published. Continuing, Sir Richard Webster
said that the only case Of mistake was
in quotation on page 8, on which is a
note giving general import matter, which
was inadvertently included in the textua
quotation.
