Another attempt has been made, this
tlrSe by Colonel Higginson, to write a
suitable national anthem for our coun-
Try, and to furnish it with music
which shall be at once original and
dignified The endeavor is a worthy
one. But one can not help remark
ing that the national songs which find
places in the hearts Of the people are
rarely if ever the product of deliberate
and conscious effort, however patriotic.
They are struck out, as by inspiration,
In the heat of some national crisis,
In the stress Of some national move
ment. The conditions have never yet
been ripe for the birth of the real ma
tlonal anthem of the United States.

would be shipped hither if there were
ships touching regularly at Liberian

who are only nominally Americans
having lived in the United States inst
long enough to obtain citizens papers
and passports. The majority of these
emigrated from Russia to the United
States and thence to Palestine. Of,the
other 80 American citizens, nearly all
have come here because of peculiar
religious views, and among them NAV
be found all possible shades of Chris
tian beliefs. The one idea that seems
to possess all, to greater or less de-
gree, is that of the second advent of the
Lord. This is by all considered to be
an event soon to take place in Jeru-
salem. Some of them during the period
of waiting, are suffering for the neces-
sites of life, but are content to endure
p1ivations in the hope of being present
and witnessing the Lords coming. The
Spoffordite colony, or "overcomers. as
ahey call themselves, have recently
been increased by an addition of 117
Swedish-Americans, mostly from Chi
cago. Just how many of these are citi
zens of the United Staes, the consulate
is not informed, because of their refusal
to register. The leader, Mr.. Spofford
lays claim to prophetic powers, and
claiming to be under direct protection
Of the Almighty, is averse to having

Not Likely That the Consul General
Will Return.
Havana, Sept. I. - Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, United States consul general, ac-
companied by his son and private Sec
rotary, have left Havana for New
York. Gen. Lee said his departure
had no significance. He was merely
enjoying a leave Of absence.
Washington, Sept. 7.-No official in
formation could be obtained here re-
garding the return of Gen. Lee, but it
is understood that he has been grant
ed leave of absence by the state de-
partment, with permission to return to
this country. The business of the con-
sulate will be in charge of the vice
consul during his absence. The course
pursued by the administration in not
naming his successor leaves no ground
for the intimation that there was dis
satisfacti' with him officially. Now
there $ been a period of compare
tive qu.et in Havana and Gen. Lee
hs4~ Aemained long enough to demon
strate that his course was not disap-
proved, and if he is relieved no criti-
cism of him officially will stand. While
state department officials are unusual
~ reticent regarding the return of
Gen. Lee, there seems to be little
doubt that he will not return to Ha-
vana and that his successor will soon
be selected.

virtue in the race for the occupancy Of

Every pursuit has its own body Of
slang, otherwise known as technical
terms, and baseball is no exception.
Apropos' of this fact the Baltimore
American reports a dialogue between
an old lady and her grandson.
Nov, Henry" said the dear old
lady, II do hope you will play
baseball"
"why not, grandma" asked Henry,
with natural surprise.
Because it is so very dangerous"
Dangerous! Why, grandma, 1t isn't
any more dangerous than any other
game"
"It is exceedingly dangerous" said
the old lady, in a tone of deep convic-
ton.
But, grandma, you never saw a
game and don't know anything about
it,"
perhaps 1 don't, but I know it is
highly dangerous. Almost every day
the papers tell about men who have

A Question of Interpretation,

The relations between Italy and
Abyssinia are somewhat unsettled by
reason Of different interpretations of
the clause of the treaty signed last
October, by which Italy agreed not to
cede Erythrea to any other power than
Abyssinia. In the Italian translation
of the treaty, this agreement is limited
to the period during which the proper
boundaries were being settled; but the
Emperor Mene1ek insists that the trans
lation is at fault, and that the words in
the original Amharic textile Ian
guage of Abyssinia-mean that the
obligation is q lasting one Menelek
has obtained so large a sense of his i'm
portance from the way in which Rus
sian, French and English embassies
have been paying court to him that he
is capable of being very obstinate.
