In the meanwhile we had been MAX

so overloaded, and we had shipped but
little water in the process. We were
now close in; 80 or 10 strokes and we
should beach her; for the ebb had al
ready disclosed a narrow belt Of sand
below the clustering trees. The gig
was no longer TO be feared; the little
point had already concealed it from our
eyes. The ebb-tide, which had so
cruelty delayed us, was now making
reparation, and delaying our assail-
ants. The one source OF danger was
the gun.
"If l burst" said the captain, I'D
stop and pick off another man."
But it was plain that they meant
nothing should delay their shot. They
had never so much as looked at their
fallen comrade. though he was not
dead, and I could see him trying to
crawl away.
"Ready!" cried the squire.
''IIold!" cried the captain. quick as
an echo.
And he and Rcdruth backed with
great heave that sent her stern bodily
under water. The report fell in at the
same instant OF time. This was the
first that Jim heard, the sound of the
squire's shot not having reached him.
When the ball passed, not one of us
precisely knew; but ! fancy it must
have been over our heads. and that the
wind of it may have contributed to our
disaster.

In the storm Of criticism which has

no more than charitable to give that

Cook County (Chicago) Business-Men's
Association, 400 strong. arrived from
Chicago on q special train to-day, TO
wage. through the Legislature, a war on
the great department stores Of Chicago.
The first delegation was followed by an
other special train, with an additional
200 business men. The Springfield Bust
ness Mems Association sent committees
10 the trains and escorted the visitors 10
the State Capitol, where Governor Tan
ner. in an address promised to sign the
anti-department store bill, if it were con-
stitutional in form. when it reached him.
The visitors crowded the House galleries
later. and applauded the advancement OF
the bill 10 the third reading, after it had
been amended to apply only to cities OF
over $1,000 population.

Cousin Osborne and the Fees.
washington Post)

(NaShlngtOn gOsI)
Cousin william Mckinley Osborne IS
canvassing the Senate and House Of
Representatives to secure sufficient in
fIuence to persuade the President TO re-
woke the order made by Secretary Olney
on the 10Th of last October concerning
consular fees. He finds by an eXamna-
ton of the returns of Consul-General Col
Inns for the last quarter that instead Of
being worth $4,000 or $4,000 year, the
London consulate IL now worth only
$4,000 or $1,000 and his soul IL greatly
stirred UP thereby. Some Of the sena-
tors to whom he has talked take the
ground that Secretary Olney had no right
to cut Off the fees without substituting
some other form of compensation for the
consular corps, because the salaries were
fixed by Congress, upon basis OF re-
Enumeration through fees and it will be
impossible for many OF the consuls. par
ticularly I'm Europe, 10 live decently upon
their salaries alone. Others think it
would make a scandal if the President
should revoke the order of his predeces-
sor. General Osborne is frank enough
to admit that the President does not
think it good policy 10 revoke Mr.. o.
ney's order, except upon the recon-
mendation of Congress.

Increased by an advance on taxation in
the shape Of higher licenses. The last
wears rate of license was in many cases
uaid with the greatest difficulty by those
who i'm better times could pay them with
ease: but with the stagnation Of business
in the past, and the dark prospect that
is before us for any immediate better
ment, the advance that has been made

businessmen of our city will work
a hardship, and has been almost unani-
mously complained Of. l doubt not that.
after hearing from those most interested
in the matter, and having facts in each
case brought home TO their attention. the
Finance Committee will reduce the IL
censes to the old scale. This is no time
for the city to increase the expenses OF
those who make her existence possible.
Let her rather be satisfied if they pay

them in the past. A. b. c.

Scribner's)
looked one night, and there Semiramis,
With all her mourning doves about her
head,
Sat rocking on an ancient road OF Hell;
Withered and eyeless, chanting to the
moon .
Snatches of song they sang to her Of old
Upon the lighted roofs of Ninevah.
And then her voice rang out with rat
1.-THE bugles they are crying back again
Bugles that broke the nights OF Babylon,
And then went crying on through Nine
web.
Stand back, ye trembling messengers Of

Insurgent cities. Let the iron tread
OF armies shake the earth. LOOK, LOFTY
towers;
Assyrla goes by upon the wind"
And SO she babbles by the ancient ROAD,
While cities turned TO dust upon the
earth
Rise through her whirling brain to live
again
Babbles all night. and when her voice is
dead
Her weary lips beat on without sound.
