WithdrawS From the MerchahL
Marine Association.
BATH Me-, Sept. 21.-The American
Merchant Marine Association will have to
elect new president. Arthur Sewall has
rendered his resignation, to take effect
upon the receipt of the letter by the sec
retary Mr.. Sewall's letter is lated Bath,
Me, Sept 10, 1896, and reads:
Enclosed find my resignation as presi-
dent of the American Merchant Marine
Association, to take effect on your receipt
of this The origin of this association and
it's purposes was to advocate and by all
proper methods promote the restoration
of the merchant marine of this country.
1t was distinctly understood that the or
SANITATION was to be free from politics
and entirely non-partisan in it's character.
''I have always regarded it as national
question, and believe that both the par
ties after proper investigation, would be
equally interested to effect the legislation
that would tend to restore to our Nation
its supremacy upon the ocean. Your re-
cent methods of introducing politics and
partisanship in the working of your office
do not meet my approval and I cannot
longer be associated with an organization
conducted by such methods.

United States VIII Not Middle With
European Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-From time to
time rumors have come from European
sources to the effect that the Government
of the United States has signified an in
tention of cooperating with one or more
of the great powers, thoseslast mentioned
being Great Britain and Italy, to enforce
reforms in the Turkish empire and pre-
vent further attacks upon the Armenian
Christians.
To support these stories a perfectly
routine movement of two of our cruisers
has been twisted into an intended hostile
demonstration. 1t can now be authori-
tatively stated that it is not contemplated
nor has it been, that our Government in
the slightest degree should depart from
it's time honored custom of refraining
from intervention in European affairs
further than is necessary to protect Am
erican citizens, and even in protecting our
citizens any action taken will be abso-
lutely Independent of any other power
AS was the case in the Brazilian rebel
lion, the United States has maintained
sufficient naval force near where Ameri-
cans reside in number to assure their
safety, but with the political aspect of
this or any other question there will be
no Intervention by our Government.

NEW YORK, Sept. M.-The meeting of
the Democratic State Committee, called
for tomorrow night, Is causing much dis
cussion and speculation tonight. Chair
man Danforth said today that this meet
ing would simply be to eject q successor
to w. f. Sheehan as National Commit
teeman and to attend to the details OF
the campaign.
1t is rumored. however, that Senator
Coffey OF Kings county will voice the SEN
timents of the silver men on the ticket
and ask the committee to use the power
delegated to il by the State convention
aud name new candidate for Governor.
yohn BOYD Thatcher has not vet declined
or accepted il, but it is understood he will
act in the matter as the committee de-
sires It is because of this serious situa-
ton that Senator Hill is expected in the
city tomorrow to take charge of the af-
fairs and watch the meeting. 1t is gen
orally believed that the State Organiza-
tion represented by Mr.. Hill and Mr.
Sheehan holds a majority of the commit
tee in its grasp and therefore that the
SilveriteS will be defeated.

MILITIA IN CONTROL.

Armed Forces.


Armed Forces.
LEADVILLE (Col.). Sept. 21.-To-night
LeadviIle is a vast military camp as a re-
suit of the dealing out of death and de-
struction with ruthless hands by dyna-
mite on the part of the strikers this morn
ing. The blowing up of the Coronado
mine with its expensive machinery marks
the elimination of one of the longest pc
riods of suspense the community has ever
undergone. The carbonate camp for the
past three months has been volcano,
and this morning at l o'clock, exactly
three months to an hour from the time
the strike was inaugurated, riot and muir
der and mob law ruled the town, when
some one hurled the firebrand that de-
stroyed the Coronado building and stock
AIDES.
There seems no doubt at midnight but
what a tremendous conspiracy was on
foot to destroy mining property worth
millions of dollars, regardless of the life
sacrificed. and the plot would have car
ried had ii not been that men OF all
classes seized rifles and shotguns and rush
ed through the night to back the small
company of militia that set out to protect
the firemen at their work

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.
Said to Have Joint Protectorate over
Corea.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Times ex-
presses the belief that Russia and Japan
have agreed to a joint protectorate in
Corea, Russia virtually taking the position
there that China held before the war. The
King of Corea will quit the Russian Lega-
ton, where he has been since the assas-
sination of the pro-Japanese Ministers,
and will return in triumph TO the palace.
This arrangement, the Times asserts will
be carried out simultaneous with Japan's
evacuation of Corea.
The Times editorially regards the fore
going arrangements as a great diplomatic
victory for Russia, who, says the Times,
thereby virtually obtains an ascendancy
in Corean affairs, leaving Japan with only
a nominal share in the control, with the
bare satisfaction of saving appearances
and of gaining time for "a final solution
in the future. Japan has missed one of
the main objects OF her ambition by i'm
patience and by an incapacity to deal
with the situation.

MY CHRISTMAS POEM.

Illustrating the Realistic Turn of Mind o.
the Modern Muse.
A spasm of terror seized me. The
promised verses for Christmas -"
we're not yet born. I was late. The
weather was sultry. But in spite of
laziness and heat vowed there should
not be faint of summer on my beauti-
full snow, or a suggestion of machinery
in my holiday turkey. So after Phoebe
Lib had gone to market / slipped quick
ly down cellar, pad and pencil in hand.
lifted the largest chunk of ice from the
ice box, planted it firmly on the floor,
and covered it with three thicknesses
Of rag carpet. then Invested myself
of majority of my raiment, removed
my shoes, placed my feet squarely ON
the cement floor, and in guaziest attire
seated myself ON the frozen inspirer and
fell to work.
A grand shiver of enthusiasm bumped
up my spinal cord, and my ready pencil
danced across the virgin sheet.

continued to think and to write
though now quite slowly.
After the second verse imagination
ceased to hump herself, so arose from
my frozen pedestal and walked three
times around the cellar, caught an idea
ind sat down again. Finished the poem
Shivering like an aspen in coy wind, L
exultantly signed my name.
Here was realism. There were GER
tainly no flies on my lines.
Clothes In hand, / started up the
stairs, when Phoebe Lib-she's my wife
entered the kitchen and came briskly
towards the cellar to tuck away the
meat.
I had forgotten to replace the ice; no
time now. hurriedly crept into the
boal bin and stood 20 mortal minutes on
those hard, black crystals, while my
comfortable other half arranged the
contents of that internal ice box to suit
her, exclaiming to herself every other
minute: However did it come upon
the foor!"
After she left / slowly dressed and
went stiffly up the outside way.
Though late, the poem got in all
right. Twas the best thing they had
had in years. My name Immediately
graced the list of regular contributors,

a weary while they expected I'd go un-
der, but that didn't suit my style; for

heads in reverence as the great log Was
triumphantly being carried from the
forest. Its entrance was hailed with
song:
Come. bring with q noise.
MY merry. merry boys.
The Christmas log to the firing;
While my good dame. she
Bids We all be free
And drink to your hearts desiring!"
The yule or Christmas candle lent
cheer to this festive occasion. Some
times after half the log had been burned
the remaining half was carefully stored
in the cellar as a preventive against
fire and misfortune. 1t was considered
an evil omen il a squirting or bare
footed person happened In the room
while the log was burning, and the
presence Of a fiat-footed woman fore
bodied great loss and sorrow.
The festival begins with Christmas
eve and closes with Condemns day.
The pretty custom of decorating the
home dates back many centuries. 1t
probably originated with the Satur-
MALTA of the old Romans. They trimmed
their temples and dwellings, with green
boughs. The favorite decorations were
holly, rosemary, bay, laurel and cy-
press. Holly has continued to remain
the favorite Christmas green through
the course Of ages. In the year 600 its
use was forbidden by the church coun-
Gil, because of its paganistic origin.
Evidently the decree was neither rigid
ly enforced nor obeyed, for it is esti-
mated that over 81, 000,0 900 are spent in
Europe and America for Christmas
holly.
Until quite recently the enormous
quantity of holly consumed in this
country was all imported from Europe.
Now, however, it is extensively cult
waited on this side of the Atlantic, and
the demand for it seems to have grown
with the supply. 1t represents most
profitable industry, giving needed en-
ployment to hundreds Of men at sea-
son when they would otherwise be
without work.-Anna Hinrichs, in
Chautauquan.
