The ENile's Song.

oh! why left | my hame?
Why did | cross the deep?
Oh! why left | the land
Where my forefathers sleep?
| sigh for Scotia's shore,
And ] gaze across the sea-,
But | Gamma get 4 blink
o. my ain countrte!
The pam tree waveth high,
AMI fair the myrtle springs;
And, 10 the indian mad,
The hulbul sweetly sings.
But ] dinna see the broom
WI It's tlssels on the lea,
Nor hear the l!nt!e's sang
o. my ain countrie!
Oh! here no sabbath bell
Awakes the Sabbath morn,
Nor song Of reapers heard
Amang the yellow corn;
For the tyrant's voice is here.
And the wall Of s,averie;
But the OF freedom shines
In my ain countr.el
There's a hope for every wo,
And A balm for every pain.
But the first joys o. our heart
Come never back again.
There's "A track upon the deep.
And a path across the sea;
But h weary ne'er return

STOPPING over the insensible victim,

WHERE CANNON FRONNED.
Chinese Fort at Wei Hal Wei is Now
Sweet Potato Patch.

San Francisco Aug. PA correspond
ent of the North China Daily News, who
recently visited Wei Hal Wei, says:
The Japanese troops are being rapidly
reduced and only comparatively small
garrison now holds the place. The forts
are all dismantled and in ruins; expen-
sive Krupp guns of large caliber are ly-
ing about, some broken and fractured by
charges of dynamite and all thrown down
and damaged in such way to be
rendered utterly useless. The thrifty
husbandman has, in the meanwhile,
changed the aspect of affairs by using
The ground occupied by the forts as an
addition to the adjoining fields of millet

PROTECTION AND SILVER
Win Decided Victory in the Ger
man Empire.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE Reichsanzerger
officially announces that Count Posadow-
sky-W elmer, the new vice chancellor and
imperial foreign secretary is appointed
to represent the chancellor in the capacity
of the supreme head of the Reichsbank
and that the Baron Thielmann, late
German ambassador to the United States,
who was yesterday appointed privy coun-
cilor with the title of excellency and to-
day made member of the Bundesrath,
is appointed to represent the chancellor in
all the financial affairs of the empire. 1t
was in accordance with the act of 1878.
This announcement appeared too late for
comment by the Berlin press, but it is
most important movement, as indicating
the temporary aScendancy of the agrar-
ian, protection and bimetall;st parties.
DIR. Koch, the president of the Reichs>
bank is an advocate of pure gold stand
ard only, and recently delivered lecture
to prove that it's abolition in Germany
would lead to disastrous consequence.
Count Posadowsky on the other hand has
more than once publicly advocated a
double currency, and although Baron Won
Thielmann processes to be an advocate
of the gold standard it is known that he
has leanings toward bimetallism.
Bimetallists here do not conceal the be-
lief that the recent ministerial changes
will lead to a vigorous support by the
government of the bimetallic efforts.
The renewal of the German protest
against the Dingley tariff revived in the
agrarians the most extravagant excep-
lions and they are advocating vigorous
reprisals on the ground that Germany
would lose but little by such a course.

SINKING OF THE MEXICO.
City of Topeka R teaches Seattle With
the Passengers and Crew.

Seattle, Aug. 12.-The steamer To

the crew of the steamer Mexico, which
was wrecked near Sitka. Captain.
Thomas of the Mexico preferred to give
out no extended statement concerning
the loss of the Mexico pending the in
vestigatiOn to be made by inspector
w ]. Bryant.
The captain was in bed when the
accident occurred, about 4:30 O'Clock in
the morning. From the time the st cam
err struck the rock until she disappear
ed beneath the waves about two hours
elapsed. Captain Thomas and Pilot
Council were the last to leave the sink
ing ship. The self-control of the pas
sengers was commended by Captain
Thomas, who said there was no I'M
necessary excitement, the passengers
being aroused and put in boats with as
many of their personal effects as pos
Sible.

tive of the city's resources. In some
instances the railroads transported the
floats free, and when the cities did not
get such courtesieS or a low rate, they
were built here; thus the carpenters
and decorators of our city were bene-
flied
I'VE had an interstate queens pa
rade, when some thirty-five or more
kingdoms were represented and made a
very handsome Showing. The parade
occurred late in the afternoon and
wound up in carnival coronation ball,
when the successful queen was crowned
by our queen. The competing queen s
beauty, the artisticnesS of her float
robes and general en- semble formed the
basis of competition.
Each queen brought her favorite
and attendants, and as the queens were
chosen from the most prominent society
circles it brought us a most choice
rosebud garden of girls II is said
that the coronation ball exceeded any
social function ever given in the state,
surprising even our inaugural ball at
the capitol.
San Antonio won in our contest, and
the queen, Gertrude Dwyer, was given
an extensive sojOurn in the Kingdom of
Mexico. She took all the competing
queens in her retinue and was most
royalty entertained throughout the re-
public President Diaz entertained her
at a state dinner, followed by a 1ega-
ton ball. The trip was arranged for
by a local newspaper and the Mexi-
can Central railroad, the superintend-
ent of the Pullman Palace Car COM
pany graciousIy rendering three sleep
ers for the queens use.
Our interstate parade was preceded
the day before by an International
queens display that was beautiful. The
Italian float was superb. The local
society here gave thousand dollar
guarantee besides paying $40 per day
rent for the costumes. This will give
some idea of the magnificence of the
float. Germany's float was an allegori-
cal representation of Music, and while
l have attended Kansas City's Priests
of PallaS, St. Louis Yelled Prophets
and the Mardi Gras at New Orleans at
several different times, it surpassed
anything in beauty ever saw. The
other countries were we'll represented

other attractive things. The intersta tie

far more attractive. Kansas success

LATE DENUNCIATION.
| Why Didn't tne Eagle Say These
Things Last Summer
The Wichita Eagle says:

The Wichita Eagle says:
Among the names of prominent Re
publicans being canvassed as possible
candidates for governor next year is
that of E. N. Morrill,. A correspondent
writing from Horton says that his
nomination is necessary to vindica-
ton of his administration on the ground
that he is the only man who can re-
deem the state. The Kansas City Ga
Lord save the party and the state
from another such attempt at redemp-
toni! 1t is unnecessary to add that
there are a sufficient number of Re-
publicans in Kansas of the same con-
viction of the Gazette to render Nor
rill's nomination impossible. If he
failed to go back on every friend and
supporter he ever had while governor,
we never heard the name of the excep-
tional individual mentioned. If there
was an enemy of prominence to whom
he didn't yield, he has been forgotten.
As governor, Morrill, was anything to
everybody When it came to the pro-
hibitory law, over which all governors
stumble and fall over themselves more
or less fatally, Morrill, took the cake for
biunders and mistakes. In every town
where the majority sentiment was
against the law there he would lay
himself out for its enforcement. He
gave Wichita its Jersey Cow Police
Commission and Tiger Bill" and
raised hades in Leavenworth and Kan
was strong for the enforcement of that
statute he gave them police commits
sionerS with backbones of his own char
acter, with permission to wink such
community into consent. Morrill,
couldn't carry prominent town in the
state. In attempting to be everything,
everywhere, to everybody, he proved
nothing to anybody. Anybody could
defeat him, as a nobody did in his
last attempted vindication. The Re
publican party of Kansas should not
attempt the Vindication of Morrill, or
of any other man at the next election,
not even vindication of much of its
own record, but go into the fight on
an up-to-date platform and with cam
didateS as free of a record of any
kind as possible, save one for decency
and ability

$4,000 A DAY
Is the Rate at Which Gold is Being
Taken Out at Coffee Creek

Redding, Cal, Aug. 12.-News was re-
ceived here last night from Coffee Creek
to the effect that $4,000 more of gold dust
and nuggets were taken out yesterday
afternoon from the pocket out of which
the Graves brothers took their $4,000 last
Saturday
gold is reported Morrison gulch about
two miles from the scene of the Graves
brothers discovery. 1t is said 5000 was
taken out in one afternoon and that two
miners are taking out gold on an average
of $40 to the pan. This strike is the
same vein of the Graves claim and is sup
posed to be an extension of the same.

Three Egyptian officers received severe
gun shot wounds.
The village is a network of crowded
houses and twisting narrow alleys so
that most of the fighting was done at
the point of the bayonet.
The dervishes repeatedly charged
through the narrow streets. Finally
their cavalry, having lost over half their
number, fed, followed by about 100
infantry. These were all that escaped.
