The Oriental Diplomats.

The Oriental Diplomats.
The presence Of Mrs. Yang Yu was not
the only mark of Oriental advancement at
the reception. When the Korean minis
ter and his suite were announced the
spectators WHO craned their necks TO see
the odd head dresses and gowns in which
they had been accustomed to see the
representatives of the Hermit Kingdom
attired, met with a disappointment, for
they had discarded their picturesque cos
tune for the conventional garments of
European civilization, appearing in them
for the first time at the New Years day
function.
Uniforms of European cut were also
worn by Mr.. Toru Hoshi. the japanese
minister, and his official family. Nous
tapha Boy, the Sultan's representative
made his initial bow without removing his
feZ.
year ago today the Venezuelan mes
sage of President Cleveland was fresh in
the minds of those who saw Sir Julian
Pauncefote bow and smile as he shook
the Presidents hand as though he might
not within a brief period receive notice
that diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and the United States had been
severed and directions TO return to Lon
don Immediately.
Today il was Senior Don Enri que Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister, who was
metaphorically i'll Sir. Julians Shoes
The greetings he gave and received were
cordial in the extreme, and resplendant in
gold braid, he passed along the line bow
ing and smiling, with Castilian cour-
tesy, the the ladies in the receiving party.
Sonora Dupuy de Lone and a number of
uniformed secretaries and attaches. some
of them with their wives, followed the
Spanish minister.
Others of the diplomatic corps who were
present were Mr.. @. de Weckherlin, the min
lister OF the Netherlands; Senior Julio Rengifo,
charge d affaires of Colombia; Mr.. Maurice
Tovstens, councillor of the Belgian lega-
ton; Mr.. A. Grip, minister of Sweden and
Norway; Senior Salvadoe de Mendonca.

CREEDS Or DEEDS.

Once seeking Truth, | wholly lost my way,
Rocked back and forward by the swinging u"eS
OF doubt and hope; confused by many gu'o'S'
Each one armed with a doctrine and creed
Which each felt safe to to say
Would meet and satisfy my every need.
One claimed that Jesus the Son OF Co.,
And one denied that lie was more than man
One scented wrath in the salvation plan
One dwelt upon its mercy aud its love-
One threatened with the rod.
One wooed ne with the sweetness OF dove
And whether souls were toreordaned to piess'
And whether Faith or Works were meant to save
And whether Judgment lay beyond the grave
And Love with pardoning power went down to
hell
Whether that road or this
Led up to Heavens Gate, could not tell.
Amid the dust OF theologc strife,
hungered with want unsatlsied;
Heaven while lived not when died,
Was what craved and how to- make sublime
And beautiful my life
While vet fingered on the shores OF time
IN INDICTMENT swift my guides in doctrine came.
Which one loved Justice and neer overreachen
His weaker brother? Which himself forgot
To press one anothcr's claim!
Alas alasi | sought, but found him not;
And wept and rallied because religion seemed
Onlv the thin ascending smoke OF words,
The iangling rude of nharmonous chords
Until-my false nductions to dlsprove--
Across my vision streamed
The glory OF life afame with love
One who was silent while his brethren taught,
And showed me not the beauties of his creed,
Bus went straight onward, sowing precious seed
That made the waste and desert places glad;
Whose hand in secret brought
Comfort and healing to the worn and sad.
Aglow, cried "Here all my questionlngs end
Oh, what is thy regon-tby belief =
Smiling. he shook his head with answer brei--
This man, so swift to act, so slow to speak
"'In deeds not creeds, my friend,
Lives the reli zion that humbly seek"
Snake he again-the man of deeds, not creeds,
Seeing the tolls in which my soul was caught
"But know this truth dear comrade: it is not
What YOU shall do, but what you love to do -
The spirit of your deeds
Tia, brings the grace of Heaven near to you
And soft across my sea Of trouble stole
The lipht and peace which had vain!y sought
Keen thou the ;nder grace have not
In minstering unto anothers heed
Leave me to lose my soul;
And in Loves service let me write my cr'ed

ANOTHER MESSAGE.
Recommending Indemnity for Italians
Lynched in Louisiana.


Lynched in Louisiana
Washington, May 4.-President Nc
Kinley to-day sent to Congress n message
concerning the lynching of three Italians
ut Hahnville, La, on the night of
August 8, 1885, named Salvatore Arena,
Giuseppe Venturella and IIorenza Sole
ridono. He recommends an appropriation
Tor the heirs of the persons without ad-
hitting the liability OF the United States
in the premises.
The message is accompanied by papers
from the Secretary of State He reviews
the events when the lynching occurred.
The agent Of the State Department who
was sent to Louisiana reported that one
of the men, Solaridino, had resided in
Louisiana twelve years, and had voted;
Arena fl re years and had made q declara-
ton of his intention Of becoming citi.
zen, and Ventureila three years also had
had been u voter. Mr.. Shermnn says the
Italian ambassador promptly informed
this government that the lynched men
were Italian subjects and entitled to the
protection of the king of Italy. The gov
ernor of Louisiana has not been able to
present proof that the men lynched had
actually voted, though it was believed
they had. He says the case was similar
to the lynching in New Orleans in 1891.
Without acknowledging the legal liza
bilities of persons lynched, Congress had
appropriated money for the indemnity of
persons so lynched. The Secretary
recommends that $1,000 he appropriated
to be distributed by the Italian gov ern-
ment among the heirs of the persons.

Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, in q re-

Germany just now is very much excited
about the proposed new tariff act for the
United States. Her hopes to extend and

In which to Keep commerce within safe

market there for our American manu-
featured products, and believes that were
