Why should we wish to go away
To prospect on the western shore,
The voice OF wisdom bids MS stay
Where plenty soon will fill our sto!c.
Mid the many scenes on memory's walls
There are two pictures hanging yet,
The name OF one my mind recalls,
Is JOY, the other Is regret.
Our camp was in the valley green,
Where tall pines wave and waters glide,
And higher up our tunnel seen,
And there full long We did abide.
Far TO the west within our view
mountain rose with towering height,
And as we gaZed its grandeur grew
In the sunsets glow glorious sight.
Long We had toiled with sturdy viii
In granite rock, till COURAGE fled;
There must be mineral In that hill,
Let's move our camp, my partner said.
We packed our mules at break of day
Like pilgrims to the Holy Land;
Before us wide desert lay,
We canped that night I'm the burning sand.
Next day we reached that wondrous mound,
And swiftly climbed its rugged height,
No float, no mineral stain was found,
And desolation met our sight.
An ancient river whose bed was dry,
And rattle snakes and scorpions dire,
a barren waste did greet our eve
With not sand scorching like fire.
Let us get back, firmly spoke,
Our willing mnles did run a race,
And ttrried not until the smoke
Arose In our old time camping place.
How sweet the water seemed that night,
And welcoming pine plumes bending low.
Bathed In the moon beams silvery light
That softened all around below.
Let us try another blast, said,
And we drilled a hole In that granite gray,
We fired the shot, the rock was red,
Right where we'd quit we struck our pay.
The ore was rich, our work was done.
Prosperity our abiding guest,
And down where the rippling waters run
Our cottage rose and faced the west.
That glorious mountain still we faced,
And heard II praised by all our friends;
Then we told of oir trip TO that horrid place
And marked the enchantment that distance
lends.
And thus the giamor that distance brings;
Blinds us 10 treasures beneath our feet;
And such the song the siren sings
To chase where the hills and the rainbows
meet.

madagascar a Costly Bargain.

PARIS, March 23.-The Chamber of Dep
uties to-day adopted the motion for the
conversion of the Madagascar loan of 1856
and then discussed the issue Of u. 900. 900
francs, 3 per cents, redeemable in sixty
years. NJ. Doumer moved that the loan
be limited to the Is. Co., 600 francs necessary
for the redemption of the existing loan, and
pointed out that the financial resources of
the island could not be relied on, as NADIA
gascar was not yet pacifed.
NJ. LebOn, the minister OF the colonies,
protested against this assertion, and NJ.
Doumer continued, approving of the panish-
ment of the Queen of Madagascar TO the
Island of Reunion. but urged that this step
proved that Madagascar was in a state Ct
rebellion. Finally NJ. Doumer demanded
that the bill be returned to the committee.
NJ. LIE Mire de Vilers, the famous deputy
from Cochin China, who had a great deal
to do with bringing about the annexation
of Madagascar, where he formerly held
the position of French resident general,
suggested a loan of 10000, 900 francs now
and 10,OOO, 900 francs later. NJ. Lebon &C
cepted the amendment, and Mr.. Doumer's
motion was rejected by a vote of 29 TO 226.
Replying to various criticisms NJ. Lebon
said il was impossible yet to give Madagas-
car ideal liberty. The first step, he ex-
planned. was to assure public order, and leg
islation for a time must be severe. The bill
was 3dOpItd.

MANY GERMANS PARADE
STREETS OF BERLIN ALIVE WITH
MARCHERS AND SIGHTSEERS.
Monster Day and Night Pageants in
Honor of the Centenary of the
Birth Of Emperor william 1.

BERLIN. March 2s.-The weather was
bright and warm to-day, the last of the
three days of the celebration of the GEN.
tenary of the birth of the Emperor, William
l.. The streets were crowded, especially Un-
terden Linten where the best view was
obtainable of the great procession. This
was composed of Burghers in the costume
of former days, corporations. societies.
clubs. veterans associations, turner's, cyc-
lists, oarsmen, sharp-shooters and trades
organizations. The whole procession was
about three miles in length. and ii is esti-
mated that over 10000 persons took part in
il. AS the military authorities had refused
to send military bands nonuniformed bands
had to be secured. AT intervals there were
floats representing scenes from the life OF
the late emperor. Germania was repre-
scented by the wife of a sculptor named
Schott. She was surrounded by one hum
dred steel-clad knights. Everywhere were
bodies of men picturesquely attired, mostly
on horseback, and the scene presented was
most attractive.
which was reviewed by the emperor, the
empress, the princess and the royal guests
from a pavilion at the foot of the William

cially invited guests were 100 Knights of

the occasion. after which she called for
cheers for his Majesty. All present hear
tily joined in the cheers. Later the en-
peror received the organization
of the procession and Informed them that
all veterans who had taken part in the pro-
ceSSion would receive the new memorial
medal. From first to last the procession
was an immense success.
In view OF the patriotism evoked through
out upon the occasion OF the CEN
tenary, Emperor William has ordered that
the new memorial medal be bestowed on
the veterans of 1864, 1866 and 1S10-71. The
cost of producing the meuals will be de-
frayed by his Majesty personally.
The fine weather this evening helped to
make the torchlight procession of students
of the university and the academic schools
a complete success. The striking spectacle
was witnessed from the windows of the
castle by all the members of the imperial
family, who bowed their acknowledgements
as the column moved by. The most notable
feature of the procession was a large num-
Der of carriages deliberately decorated with
flowers and escorted by torchbearers.
These were loudly cheered and the uproar
I'm front of the palace was positively deaf
ening. Emperor William received a deputa-
ton of students and addressed them COR
daily. The procession marched past the
national monument to Moabit, where all the
torches were thrown in a bean.

the American postoffice nor any other de-

The ..Thundererr DispIeased.

LONDON, March 24--The London Times
in a leading editorial this morning gives ex-
preston TO anything but a satisfied feeling
as TO the senatorial amendments of the
treaty of arbitration. 1t says: THE United
States Senate has done what optimlsts af-
fected to believe impossible and what cool
er observers thought extremely probable. 1t
has destroyed the arbitration treaty. The
first amendment accepted is alone sufficient
to render the treaty unworkable and utter
ly worthless. The Senate Has done more
than TO wreck an instrument carefully
forged by representatives OF the two ma
tons. 1t has struck a blow at the principle
of arbitration itself and at the confidence
of the world in the American people. Its
action strikes a note of levity. wantonness
and irresponsible caprice such as is hap
PLY very rarely struck by any legislative
assembly. In proportion to the blessings to
be missed must be our regret for the la
mentable. the almost ignominious fate Of
an honest and well-meant endeavor."

The ambassadors nave formally notified
the Turkish government of the intention of
the powers to land troops On the island of
Crete to relieve the detachments of foreign
marines now on duty ashore. The Porte
has raised no objections up 10 the present
time. believing that the next move of the
foreign fleet will be to carry out the threat
of the powers to blockade the principal
ports and coasts of Greece. On this ques-
tion.. however, there is no unanimity of
opinion.
In the meanwhile the wal preparations of
Greece are continuing night and day and
there are no indic3 lions of a Backdown i'm
that quarter. Money does not appear to be
lacking for the equipment of the Greeks,
and large supplies of arms and ammunition
have been forthcoming. from what sources
Is not so clear. There is one feature of
the situation which should not be over
looked. The Greeks are animated by the
strongest feeling Of warlike enthusiasm.
while the Turks are said TO be suffering the
greatest privations without pay or proper
equipment. which has made them sullen
and resentful. but far from DESTROYS of en-
tering upon an aggressive campaign.
If war - declared the Greek army from
Larissa will probably try to enter Mace
donia with the Crown Prince Constantine
and a second Greek army will attempt to
enter Epirus from the vicinity of Arta. 1t
is still possible that war may be averted
by timely concessions TO Greece such as
the withdrawal of all Turkish forces from
Crete and the selection of Prince George of
Greece as Governor of Crete, with the un-

shall be decided by a plebiscite whether or
not the island is TO be annexed to Greece.
Sir Philip Currie's remonstrance to the

intended by the Sultan. reviving the pride
of the Mohammedans and mitigating the
general pessimism.
