THE SKYLARK AND THE POET.

How the blithe lark runs up the golden
stair
That leans thro' cloudy gates from heaven
TO earth,
And all alone in the empyreal air
Fills it with jubilant sweet songs Of
mirth!
How far he seems, how far
With the light upon his wings!
Is it a bird or star
That shines and sings?
What matter if the days be dark and frore?
That sunbeam tells of other days to be;
And singing in the light that floods him DER
In JOY he Overtakes futurity;
Under cloud arches vast
He peeps, and sees behind
Great summer coming fast
Adown the wind.
And now he dives into a rainbows rivers;
In streams of gold and purple he is
drOWnd;
ShrilIy the arrows of his song he shivers,
AS tho the stormy drops were turned to
sound;
And now he issues thro',
He scales q cloudy tower;
Family, like falling dew,
His fast notes shower.
Let every wind be hushed, that I may hear
The wondrous things he tells the earth
below;
Things that we dream of he is watching
near,
Hopes that we never dreamed he would
beStOw;
Alas the storm hath rolled
Back the gold gates again,
Or surely he had told
All heaven to men!

VENEZUELAN MEDIATION.
Under Secretary Curzon Admits
That Proposals We're Received
from Uncle Sam.

London. March 16.-The under secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, George
n. Curzon, in the House of Commons
today admitted that the government had
received official proposals from the Unit
ed States relative to the Venezuelan dis
pute and that they were now under CON
sideration. He added that it was not
the practice to state the nature of the
proposals while they were under nego-
tiations. But it was not correct to de-
scribe them. as stated in the question
put to the government, as an expression
on the part of the United States of will
ingness to accept or propose Il scheme
for joint commission to report on the
Venezuelan boundary dispute.
1t has been learned by the Associated
press from a high authority that Great
Britain has not received a proposal to
take part in a joint commission for the
purpose of settling the Uruan incident
of the Venezuelan dispute.

PLAN MEETS FAVOR,
Quite Likely that the Northern Pa
cifiC Sch9me wi e Sue
CeSSful.

New York. March 16.-Interest is en-
tirely taken up in financial circles to-
day with the reorganization plan Of the
Northern Pacific Leading investment
houses, prominent bankers and financial
experts generally prefer to take more
ample time for reviewing the subject
before expressing opinions regarding it.
Criticisms upon the plan vary somewhat
according to the securities held by the
parties interviewed, but on the whole
the plan Is considered a reasonable one
and no doubt is expressed as to its ulti-
mate success.
A number of influential banking
houses having international relations
Were interviewed by a representative of
the Associated press and they expressed
satisfaction with the plan. 1t is held
that the treatment of the stock is not
lmduly drastic. while the terms offered
to the holders of the second and third
mortgage and consolidated per cent
bonds are considered more favorable
than anticipated.
1t is believed that the reorganization
of the property will be completed by the
end of the year or perhaps earlier. The
reorganization based UnOn the fore
closure of the second, third and consol
mortgages and the terms offered to these
securities had already been expected
by the representatives of the ma jOrity Of
each class. 1t is noteworthy that the
interest in the proposed prior lien mort
gage bonds is payable quarterly.
1t is calculated that the average net
earnings of the company for the five
years ending June 80 last are sufficient to
meet all charges Of the new company and
leave % per cent. surplus per annum
upon the new stock. 1t is significant
that the plan contains no reference what
ever TO the relations between the reor-
ganized Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railway system.
Messrs. J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. and
the Deutsche bank will receive "a of L
per cent. on the par value of securities
deposited and issued under the plan as

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S STATUE.
Utah May Try to Place Memorial
of the Mormon Leader in

Washington, D. c., March 13.-Apro-
pos of the Marquette statue trouble, ru-
NOR has it that the reverential citizens of
the new state of Utah are about to put a
statue in the hall devoted for that pur-
pose in the national capitol. They in
tend, says this rumor, to commemorate
than anyone else to make Utah ia
miliar name to the world.
Of course they mean Brigham Young.
Those who profess to know insist that
the plan has not only been suggested but
actually decided upon. The date has
not been fixed, but it is said to be not
very far away.

Bit of Fancy Railroading Results in
the Injury of Scores of
Miners.

Brazil, Ind. March ia passenger
train on the Centerpoint branch of the
Vandalia line was wrecked at Center
point south of here at o'clock this

when the other section of the train, COM
posed Of a cabOose and passenger car,
got beyond control of the trainmen and,
shooting down the heavy grade, collided
with the first section before the brake
man could throw the switch. The ca
bOOSe and miners car were crushed in,
while the engine and passenger coach
were damaged. The miners IN their car
were thrown into one end of the coach
and the heavy seats piled on them. In
their wild efforts to escape they trampled
and tore each other in a frightful man
ner. Following is list of njured:
William May, miner; right ankle brok-
en- and other injuries.
Mitchell Quinn, miner; struck on
head, badly hurt; taken out UNCONSCIOUS.
William Lucas, miner; hip crushed.

near by. A special train was sent out
from this city with surgeons. Nearly
every miner sustained injuries Of more
or less serious nature.

Traffic on the street railway lines is some

blizzard of March, 1888, over one foot

Fish has opened the diaries kept 10y his

President Grant and finds much inter

the administration toward the Cuban in

On the authority of these diaries it is
shown that President Grant had at one
time, under the circumstances of Il pend
ing negotiation at Madrid, been inclined
to recognize the belligerency of CUBA
but that on June Is, 1870, the opinion of
the President and of the cabinet was
unanimous that there were no facts to
justify the declaration Of belligerency,
and that the satisfaction of the Presi-
