AGAINST FEDERAL COURTS.

Kansas Populists to Make War on United
States District and Circuit Tribunals.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 16.-If well-laid
plans do not fail, the state will be al
most flooded within the next two
weeks with literature calculated to
strengthen opposition to the federal
courts. The populist executive com
mittee has so decided and already
steps have been taken in that di-
rection. The executive committee has
prepared several articles on the sub
ject which Grant Harrington, of Hia-
watha, took home with him and will,
it is understood, print on his own
presses Meanwhile the populist press
of the state is to pu blish editorials and
interviews with leading members OF
the party, declaring in favor of the
adjustment of all federal courts below

Jovett,s sense of Humor.

The late master of Balliol college, Ok
ford. DIR. Jowett, loved good story, es-
pecially one which exhibited the comic
side of things. During sickness from
which he suffered many ills he was
asked by friend how he was. Jowett
replied by quoting the words of Sydney
Smith, then canon of ST. Paul's, who,
when at the point of death-''which,"
said Jowett, II am not''-declared that
there was not as much left of him as
would make a minor canon! To an
other friend who urged him to per-
NIT the publication of some of his ser
mons DR.. Jowett said: publish moth
ing that is not quite good. Don't be
moved by peoples opinion. There is
story of Bishop Darlington and Phil
potts, afterward bishop of Exeter, who
was at the time Barrington's secre-
tary. The bishop said: L wish you tic
select for publication IL of my SER
mons that you think will do me least
discredit.' Shortly after, when the SER
mons had been chosen, the bishop
asked: DO you think that these will
do me credit?' I prefer, my lord an.

THROUGH THE SHADOWS.

There's no sun to cheer the valley
Where deaths chilling waters flow;
And of coast and CLINE beyond it
Those on this side do not know
Birds sing not above those waters;
There mysterious ravens chant,
Giving earth nor name nor inkling
OF the land beyond their haunt
Nothing grows. by that cold river:
And grew lily there thorn,
Would it hint of what is yonder-
Boon ban, or murk or morn?
Yet must all go through that darkness,
Lighted by no cheering beam.
Through the waters and the shadows
That o'erbang the chilling stream
For no bridge o'erspans that river.
Nor Inortals sail the wave;
Nor can science guide the farer,
Or enhearten to be brave.
Nor can reason give the pilgrim
Boatman, compass or a bark;
Yet by faith he gains the daring
For the torrent and the dark
Faith inspirfts him with visions
OF the Heaven of his quest,
OF a land beyond the shadows,
OF the country of the blest-
And right onward to that Heaven,
Onward through the chilling stream.
Gladly, calmly, fares the pilgrim.
Outraged by faiths cheering beam;
Onward to eternal sp1endors
Where majestic mountains rise
In the radiance of the sunshine
OF the country of the skies
Fragrant roses bloom forever
In the paradise above,
And the lilies to the zephyrS
Breathe the sweetness of their love.
In the forest aisles of Heaven
Birds and brooks and zephyrs sing
OF the beauties and the glories
OF the country of the King;
AID the music of the numbers
OF the minstrelSy on high
EhaH intensity and sweeten
Through the ages of the sky

Hits United States Hard.

OTTAWA, Ont. April 23-The new
tariff bill in such as will hit the United
States pretty hard. In that regard
1t is popular here, but doubly so on
account of the preference it makes in
favor of British goods The prefer
entail terms for Great Britain and
other countries disposed to receive
Canadian products at favorable rates,
the finance minister explained in par
hament, would be, the first year, re-
auctions from the general list Of one
eighth; after that period they would
be one-quarter of the rates in the
general tariff. These reductions would
apply to all schedules, except those
imposing duties intended for revenue
on such articles as wines. tobacco,
cigars and cigarettes.
The finance minister further an
nounced that when it was proved that
there was combination unduIy to
raise the price Of any article, which
had the advantage of the protection
afforded by the tariff, it would be pos
sible, through an order in council, to
place that article on the free list and
give the public the benefit of competi-
ton from the outside.

DEFENSE OF ARTA.
Turks Driven Back by MurderOus
Rifle Fire.

ATHENS, April 23.-During the fight
ing on Tuesday, the Turks at daybreaK
attempted to rush the bridge and can
ture Arta by assault. Their artillery
had been secretly brought up during
the night and placed in position on
commanding elevations opposite the
town. Under cover of a furious can
nonade, the Turks advanced upon the
bridge, and were received with a muir
derous rife fire from the Greeks. The
Turks made several attempts to cross
the bridge, but in spite of their des-
perate efforts they never succeeded
in getting further than the center of
the bridge. There the Turkish COM
mander fell dead, and, under the ter
rible fire of the Greeks, the Turks fell
hack in dismay. Some time after
wards the Turkish guns We're silenced.
In spite of this reverse, the Turks
renewed the assault during the after
noon, and further desperate fighting
followed. The Greeks, sheltered in
their trenches, fought CALAMITY and
held their own, although, since the out
break of hostilities on Sunday, the
Greeks had not for a moment quilted
their posts in the trenches.
Stories of Turkish atrocities are cur-
rent here. A Greek officer, who sa rs
he was an eye witness of the affair
asserts that in the attack which the
Turks made upon the Greek positions
west of Arta, a number of CAPTURED
Christian women We're marched in FROM
of the Turkish lines, in expectation
that the Greeks would refrain from re-
turning the fire of the Turks, for fear
Of wounding the women.
AdVices received here TODAY from
Volo say that even the women are
arming themselves to do LATHE with

WarIike Speech by Cape Colony Premier

CAPE TOWN. April 23.-In the Cape
parliament the debate on the so-called
"'peace notion" adjourned on April
16, was resumed. The motion in ques-
ton urged the adoption of a policy of
moderation and consolidation in the
settlement Of differences in the inter-
probation of treaties and conventions
An amendment was introduced to the
effect that the ends desired would be
best attained by strict observance Of
the London convention and by the
redress Of the genuine grievances of
the Uitlanders.
Sir j. Gordon Sprigg, the premier,
said today that the way for the Trans
vaal republic to subdue the existing
excitement was to redress the griev-
ances of the Ultlanders. He did not be-
lieve there would be war, because he
could not see how it was going to arise,
though he admitted that the building
of forts and the importing of ammuni-

ton and guns was no way to peace
Continuing, the premier asserted that
the last thing the imperial govern
ment desired was war, and, he added,
if war occurred, it would be the fault
of the TransVaal. Great Britain was
determined to maintain the London
convention and her position as the
paramount power in Africa. Trans
vaal autonomy, he asserted, was not
worth years purchase without the
protection of Great Britain.
Mr.. Sauer condemned the attitude
Of the premier and suggested arbitra-
ton, adding that if Great Britain used
force it would mean civil war. w. P.
Schriener, the former attorney gen.
eral of Cape Colony, said he did not
agree with the martial utterances of
the premier Continuing, Mr.. Schriener
remarked that the situation was full
of ominous clouds, and he expressed
the hope that the lightning would not
strike.
