"Fear not for me, oh mother dear,
| See how the tide the boat is spurning,
The storm will cease, the sky will clear,
And thou wilt watch me safe returning.
HIS bark shot out-now up, now down,
Over the waves, the snowy-crested,
Now like dart it sped along,
Now like white-winged sea-bird rested.
He reached the shore, the letters claimed,
Triumphant heard the strangers wonder
That one so young should brave alone,
The heaving lake, the rolling thunder.
And once again his snowy sails,
We seen by her, that mourning mother,
And once she heard his shouting voice,
That voice the wave was soon to
smother,
Wild burst the waves-wide tapped the
sail,
A crashing peal of thunder followed,
A gust swept DER the waters face,
And caverns in the deep lake followed.
The gust swept past, the waves grew
calm,
The thunder died along the mountain,
But where was he who used to play,
On sunny days by Mona's fountain ?
His cold corpse foated to the shore,
Where knelt his lone and shrieklng
mother,
And bitterly she wept for him,
The widows son who had no brother.
She raised his arm-the hand was closed,
With pain the stiffened fingers parted,
And on the sand three letters dropped,
His last dim thought, the faithful
hearted.
Glenvarloch gazed, and on his brow
Remorse with grief and pain seemed
blended,
A purse of gold he flung beside
That mother DER her dead child bending.
"Glenvarloch, would ye dare to measure
The holy life that God hath given,
Against heap of golden treasure.

But know proud man that God hath

To smite the king on Scotland's throne,
The chieftain IN his fortress tower.
Grown on ! frown on I fear ye not,
We've done the last of chieftain's bid
ding.
And cold he lies for whose young sake
used to bear your wrathful chiding.
"Can silver warm the frozen blood,
Or make my heart less lone tomorrow;
Can gold:bring back the cheerful voice
That used to win my heart from sorrow
"Go back, and seek your mountain home,
And when ye kiss your fair-haired
daughter
Remember him who died tonight
Beneath the waves of Mona's waters"
Old years rolled on-new ones came,
Foes dare not brave Glenvarloch's tower
But naught could bar the sickness out,
That stole within fair Annie's bower
The o'erblown foweret in the sun sinks
Languid down and withers daily
And SO she sank-her voice grew faint
Her laugh no longer sounded gaily.
Her step fell on the old oak stair,
AS noiseless as the snow showers Drift

And from her sweet and serious eye
They seldom saw the dark lid lifting
'Bring aid, bring aid !" the father cries.

"Her pulse is faint, her life is flying"
He called in vain, her dim eyes turned,

IMMEDIATE BLOCKADE
Powers Reach a Definite Agree
ment Regarding Their
Policy in Crete.
Will Not Reply to the Note Of
Greece but Close Cretan
Ports at Once.
The Move a Distinct Con-
CeSSion to Both Russia
and France.

ROME, March 15.--It is officially an.
nounced here that the result of the
pour parleurs of the powers is defin-
lite agreement not to reply to the Greek
note, but to issue orders to the foreign
admirals to establish an immediate
blockade of Cretan ports. This agree
ment is somewhat in the nature of a
concession to Russia and France. Rus.
sia, during the middle of last week
proposed, with France seconding
the proposition, another joint note
to Greece, insisting ON the with
drawal of the troops, instead of an
immediate resort by the powers to
force. Russia's action was inspired, it
Is officially stated, by certain sympa-
thy for Greece, but so many objections
were raised by each power i'll turn to
the suggestion that the course has
been finally decided upon. 1t is thought
that the simplest way to carry out the
threat made In the identical note will
be the blockading of the Cretan ports
and the landing of forces sufficient to
insure the maintenan of order, leav-
ing future action as to the fate of Crete
to later negotiations.

SPEED OF CRUISERS.
Trial of the San Francisco Under Service
Conditions Was s satisfactory.

Trial of the San Francisco Under Service
Conditions Was Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, March l5.-In view of
the assertions made in congressional
debates and elsewhere that the trial
trips Of our naval vessels were made
under such artificial conditions, favor.
orable to the ship, that their records
could never be repeated without special
preparations, the navy department Of
ficials are feeling much comforted by
the reports coming in from some of the
captains of our cruisers, who have been
putting their ships through their PAGES,
just to learn how much they deterior-
lated. The San Francisco has just
come out of dock in the Mediterranean
when Admiral Selfredge ordered her to
make a run for few hours. The ves-
sci rushed away at Is knots speed, and
kept this up for 10 hours without a
stop, making a record of high efficiency
for ship of her class. There was no
fault to be found with the machinery,
and while the speed average was not as
high by knot and half as that made
on the trial trip of the San Francisco,
it is the general belief that the lO-hour
record under service conditions is far
better than the record made on the
trial trip. which lasted four hours.

opinion of Mr.. Lamoreaux given out by
him to one of the parties in interest,
three days before the time appointed
by himself for the formal announce
ment of the decision, and the notice to
the other interested parties.

to locate claims by means of this scrip

Absolutely Pure,
THE ARBITRATION TREATY
Some of the Amendments Likely to BE
Reported.

Some of the Amendments Likely to he
Reported.
WASHINGTON, March 10. - The
amendments to the arbitration treaty
which probably will be reported to the
senate this week by the committee on
foreign relations, and which have been
practically agreed to, will be somewhat
different from those previously SUBJ
mitted by the committee. The Turpie
amendment, which is of general scope,
will be adhered to, and others will be
added which will somewhat harmonize
the entire document with this change.
The Turpie provision is added to the
first article of the treaty, and it recog.
nizes in words the senate as part Of
the treaty-making power Of the United
States, requires the president to submit
to the senate his formulation of any
claim that he may desire to submit to
arbitration under the treaty.
Another important amendment which
also looks to the recognition of the SEN
ate's prerogatives which almost beyond
doubt will be su omitted to the senate
Will eliminate the members of the
members of the United States supreme
court as fixed tribunal of arbitration.
The provisions for members of the
court to act as arbitrators will be so
modified as to require the president to
appoint and the senate to confirm the
members of the tri bunal
The portion of the treaty providing
for the appointment of the king of
Sweden and Norway as umpire will be
eliminated, the majority of the COM
mittee considering that no umpire will
be necessary.

LONG BACKWARD STRIDE.
London Times Opinion of the New Tariff
Bill.

London Ilmes' opinion OF the Ne" ldriu
Bill.
LONDON, March 15.-The Times prints
nearly page of what purports to be
the new tariff schedules, and, COM
menting editorially upon them, says:
"a cursory perusal is enough to show
that long backward stride is being
made in the direction of the Mckinley
tariff In whatever way the matter
may be settled, it will involve serious
annoyance and arrangement of busi-
ness for British exporters, as we'll as a
corresponding loss for Americans them
selves"
Proceeding to comment on Mr..
Smalleys interv Jews, The Times com.
pares the "earnestness Of Mr.. McKin-
ley with the nebulosity of Mr.. Sher-
man." and says that it cannot under
stand McKinley's anxiety on the cur.
rency question, because If he looks
around on Russia, Japan and other
countries, he will see that every ma
ton goes its own way in its own time
on currency matters, and that the ac-
ton of Russia and Japan raises formld-
able obs tacles to the realization Of BIZ
