THE TARIFF BILL.
The Four Silver Republicans Merely
Not Ready to Vote On 1t Now.

NOT teNuy Ia tGIc Oh NOW.
From W hat is learned this morning it ap-
pears that there is no intention ,en the
part of the four silver republicans who
voted against the consideration Of the
tariff in the Senate yesterday to continue
their antagonism for a great length of
time. The explanation given of their course
yesterday is that they were not yet quite
ready for the question, ard that they
wanted to show that the bill itself, inde-
pendently Of the silver question, is not sat
isfactory to them. They complain that it
Is an eastern bill, and they want their con-
stituents to understand This.
At the same time, any intention to carry
the fight 10 an extreme IS disayowed. They
profess to believe that the biif is not Offer
ed in good faith, but merely 70 make an
Issue, with no idea that il is 10 become a
there Is reasonable expectation that it is
not passed merely TO be vetoed. This seem
iDSiy unreasonable desire is based on the
very general belief that there is an lnder-
standing between the representa- lives of the
administra ton and the champions of the
bill, and they want to know what this un-
derstanding is. The mole thing is nothing
but skirmishing, and does, ratEthreaten the
bill with anything but delay. The suspect
ed understanding as to In. ute OF the bill
after it gets to the Whit ouse is vague.
The prospects senm very I. f-, however, that
the bill will become y law,
The suggestion has been me- de to some of
the supporters Of the bill that this legisla-
ton would have the effect of taking the
tariff question OUT of the presidential CAM

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION,
Physical Map of the Disputed Terri
tory NenrIY COmnIefed


The Venezuelan boundary commission
was hard at work today, with all of the
members present, at the weekly meeting.
The geological survey, through Mr.. Baker,
reported that the physical map of the coun-
try in dispute was almost finished, and he
exhibited the work already done. 1t is pro-
posed TO have this map divided into sec
tions, which will be enlarged, and then a
number Of Autographed copies of these will
be made. Upon these enlargements notes
may be made, ard in this way each member
of the commission may make independent
studies of the situation, from every stand
point and by the comparison of these
studies in turn valuable results may be at
tanned
The commission Is highly gratiffed at the
position taken by Great Britain in respond
ing faVorably to its request to be supplied
with Information relative to the location of
the boundary line. They recognize that the
British government has accepted the invi-
tation in the spirit in which 1t was extended,
and they feel that the results, so far as the
commission is concerned, will undoubtedly
be much more satisfactory, having. as IL
will, all of the information in the possession
dependent inquiry the commission can be-
come possessed of other facts, so much the
better, but as 1t stands the response of the
two parties insures a thoroughness for the
investigation that 1t would otherwise be
difficult to impart.
The commission today ratified the ap-
pointment of Percy Allen, late private sec
retary 10 Justice Harlan, to be assistant
secretary.

My love has ceased to talk Of love,
And um sore afraid
That have ceased to cast a spell
Upon this gentle maid.
We used 80 walk in shady lanes
And live on tender looks.
We used to sit and muse upon
The banks Of running brooks,
l used TO read the poets words,
While she, in rapture, bent
To catch the rhythmic cadences,
Both eager and intent
She used to sigh for Launcelot
And weep for Claribel.
Her tears erst flowed for Petrarch and
The one he loved so well.
She used to love TO hear the birds
And watch the feeding kline,
And, as we strayed ahcld, permit
Her hand to rest in mine.
All, happy days, forever gonei
My case, it seems, is fat.
She's got bike, and all she does
Is ride and talk of that.

fact, as we know, no scenery in the world
out-compares American-but the Ger
mans use and utilize every bit of green
and make far more of what they have.
20 illustrate: In our larger American
cities the streets that front the rivers
are lined with old flats, shanties and
what-not to make them an offense to the
eye. Here the rivers are one long prom
.enade, on both sides beautiful villas, gar
dens and terraces. In Berlin even the
canal, which is forced through the city,
is made thing of beauty-lined with
blooming trees, crossed by magnificent
bridges and fronted by yoleanoed houses.
Do We lack artistic taste, or is the cause
in the prevailing idea that river air is
unhealthy? Even in our smaller towns
the beautiful views, river cliffs and nat
ural charms are overlooked and some
sunny square chosen wherein to build
a house. But a refrain that should be
sung out loud till it infused the fire of
pride in every true born southern Ameri-
cam is praise of our own people. If
they have a serious fault, it is that of
not approaching their own value and
emphasizing their superiority. There
are no people of any nation who possess
the real heart courtesy, the pure, mate
refinement of the southern American. 1t
