ton may be obtained, than in the sur
VIGILANCE of testy and outspoken girl"
An angry flush covered the ma or's
cheek as he saluted and fell back, and
l'rant turned to the aid-de-camp. The
news was grave. A column of the ene-
my had moved against the ridge; it was
no longer possible to hold it; and the
brigade was cut off from it's commune
cation with the division headquarters,
although as yet no combined movement
was made against it. Brant's secret
fears that it was an intended impact
against the center We're confirmed.
Would his communications to the di-
vision commander pass through the at
lacking column in time?
One thing puzzled him. AS yet the
enemy, after facing his line, had shown
no disposition, even with their over
whelming force, to turn aside to cover
him. He could easily have fallen back
when it was possible to hold the ridge
no longer, without pursuit. His flank
and rear were not threatened, as they
might have been by a division of so
large an attacking column, and his re-
treat was still secure! 1t was this fact
that seemed to show failure or imper-
lection in the enemy's plan. 1t was pos
sible that his precipitation of the attack
by the changed signal had been the
cause of it. Doubtless some provision
had been made to attack him in flank
and rear, but in the unexpected hurry
of the outset it had to be abandoned He
could still save himself, as his officers
| knew, but his conviction, that he might
yet be able to support his division com
mander by holding his position logged
ly, but coolly awaiting his opportunity,
was strong. More than that, it was his
temperament and instinct.
Narrowing them in flank and rear,
contrasting the ground inch by inch, and
holding his own against the artillery
sent to dislodge him, or the cavalry
that curled around to ride through his
open ranks, he saw his files melt away
before this steady current without
tinching.

Very little rain has fallen here for some

in the pastures and much dust in the high
ways.
Apple trees are in full bloom, but the
beauty is married by many nests so densely

largest of everything.'

OF that fact
sensible senators.

The members OF the United States Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Affairs have
shown good sense Ia allowing themselves
to be quoted on the question OF arbitration
by Mr.. Henry Norman, the special cor
respondent OF the London Chronicle. The
senatorial sentiment Is for arbitration; for
the course proposed by this government
In the Venezuela case. and rejected by
Lord Salisbury. but which Is likely TO
be forced upon Salisbury by such publ
cations as the Chronicle is making
Tie question that Mr.. Norman asked
was:
Would IL. in your opinion. be well for
the governments OF the United states
and Great Britain TO endeavor 10 agree
upon the constitution OF permanent
court or tribunal of arbitration, to which
all questions at issue between the two
governments not involving national au-
tonomy or honor should be submitted for
decision when diplomatic negotiations
fail?'
The following are some OF the replies:
Senator Sherman | am in favor Of the
principle of arbitration for all questions
that do not involve the autonomy OF
either of the two countries. ] hope that
the two governments will agree upon
such a mode OF settlement for all con
troverses. Senator Sherman added tnat
i'm his opinion Parliament should pass a
resolution requiring the Ministry to take
steps in this direction"
Senator Daniel: | would regard 1t as a
great achievement and In harmony WIN
the aspirations Of the two peoples, thelI
mutual interests. and their closer friend
ship All my mind goes forward to the
hslief that ii would ne well 10 create such
machinery"
The expressions Of the other members
are of the same tenor and the general
verdict leads Mr.. Norman TO 1eclare:
1T is impossible TO believe that British
sentiment will not be moved TO respond
TO such remarkable unanimity ana such
enlightened utterances. II not. then the
world will see that America IS ahead OF
England in the most striking characters
tic of civilized people.

1t is not improbable that the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency in the
United States House will report shortly
a bin permitting national banks to issue
currency up to the par value of the bonds
deposited by them with the government
Ia secure their circulation. AS Is well
known. the present law restricts their
circulation to 80 per cent. Of the bonds
deposited
II is understood that the subcommittee
10 which the bill was referred in committee
will make favorable report TO the full
committee. and that the latter will make
a strong report 10 the House. urging It's
adoption. There is. furthermore good
reason to believe, as we learn from the
Baltimore American. that Speaker Reed
iavors the measure, and that the Rules
Committee will accordingly name day
for consideration and a vote" In this
event the bill will pass the House, and
there is some ground for the hope that
the bill, will pass the Senate during the
present session of Congress.
