THE WIND IN THE CHIMNEY.

Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chsnted melody no one knew.
And the woman stopped as her babe she tossed
And thought OF theorsc she had long since lost
And said, as her teardrops back she forced,
81 hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted u melody no one knew.
And the children said as they closer drew,
"'Tis some witch that is cleaving the black
night through
IT'S some witch that is cleaving the black,
And we fear the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted melody no one knew.
And the man as he sat on his hearth below
Said TO himself, ssIt will surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low,
And III stop the leak In the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted melody no one knew.
But the poet listened and smiled, for he.
Was man and woman and child. all three.
And he said. "It Is Gods own harmony.
This wind that sings in the chimney"

He InsuIted Premier Rail- and Was
Quickly Hustled on Greek Soil.


Athens May 26-An exciting scene
took place at the ministry OF marine to-
day. Signor Difelico, the Italian social
list leader, rudely accosted and insulted
NJ Rail-, the Greek PREMIER; the latter
Immediately summoned the police and
had Difelice put ON board the Italian
iron-clad Sardenca, with a request that
he be not allowed to again set foot on
Greek 'soil.
When Signor Difelice was being con-
Quoted to the iron-clad Il number of gari-
baldians attempted to rescue him and
a free fight followed, in which soldier
and Il civilian were severely wounded.
AS soon as he was on board the IRON
clad, Difelice was liberated at the re-
quest of the Italian minister on his sol
emn promise to quit Greece without pro-
voking further incidents.
The Athens correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, describing the incident which
eliminated in the arrest of Signor
Di Felice. says:
NJ. Rail- had courteously asked him for
his assistance in inducing the Italians to
return to Italy. Di Felice, in the most
insulting manner, refused to be dictated
to and accused the Greeks of stealing
the clothing of the Italians When Nj.

went on the balcony and shouted for the
Garibaldians to come to his assistance,
but his appeal was ignored.

The Tobacco Men Up in Arms.

Washington, May 26.-Representatives
of practically all the tobacco manufac-
turers in the United States, with the eX-
eeption of the cigar manufacturers, met
here today to protest against the pro-
posed advance of cents pound on to-
bacco contemplated in the senate amend
ments to the tariff bill. There were pres
ent and represented about $50 manufac-
turers. Gen. e. A. McAlpin of New
York was the chairman. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted, which briefly
cite the injury inflicted upon the trade
by the frequent changes of the tax rate
and protest against the adoption Of the
senate amendment. The meeting adj
journed TO present the resolution to the
senate.
The senate committee which has charge
of the tariff bill gave hearing to a dele
cation of the tobacco manufacturers ut
the Arlington tonight. An argument upon
which much stress was laid was that the
effect of the increased taxes on tobacco
would be to concentrate the business in
the hands of few great firms.
While the senator's asked several qucs-
tons, they gave no indication whether
the argument of the tobacco men would
result in any change in the bill.

The council of ministers has decided to

to discuss the retrocession of Thessay,

sideration to the powers. So far as the
note of the European arbitratorss is con

an extension for Il fortnight. The story

The Hnyemcyer Case,

Washington. May 26.-The government
rested its case against Henry o. Have
meyer, the president of the American Su-
gar Refining company, shortly after the
noon recess today. Thereupon counsel
for the defense moved that the judge in
struct the jury to find the defendant not
guilty on six grounds:
First-That the question as to local and
state contributions of the sugar company
was beyond the jurisdiction of the senate
committee and impertinent; second, that
it was not part of Mr.. Havemeycr's duty
to examine the records for the purpose
of answering questions he could not from
memory; third, that when data from
books or records are demanded such
books or records are the best of evidence;
fourth that the question put to the wit
ness was too broad, covering irrelevant
matters; fifth that if the witness was to
be held recusnnt it was the duty of the
committee to warn him that the question
was Il committee and not an individual
question; and, sixth, that the indictment
did not disclose cause of action.
District Attorney Davis will reply to
the motion tomorrow.

A PASTORAL SHORTAGE.
Rev. Harrison. Formerly of Texas,
Disappears From Washington.

Washington May 2G.-Rev. A. G. Har-
rison, pastor of the Peoples tabernacle,
and his family disappeared from their
home here yesterday, and it is reported
that the reverend gentleman is $4,000
short in his accounts. He was given en-
tire charge of the church funds, and, ac-
cording to the charges, failed to pay bills
for furniture, carpets and church or
gan, for which the money was given him,
and also borrowed large sums from his
Pensioners. Mr.. A. l.. Bruen, the build
er of the tabernacle is a loser to the ex-
tent of $1,000. When Mr.. Harrison
learned that an investigation was to be
made he departed hastily, leaving his
household goods. He came to this city
from Texas three years ago, engaged in
mission work and gained so large Il
gathering that the tabernacle was built,
chiefly through the efforts of Mr.. Bruen,
to give him u following.
AT a meeting of the church council to-
night the determination was reached to
dismiss Harrison from the pastorate, and
his name has been taken from the front
of the edifice. The debts contracted for
by him will be paid by the church.
The police officials have not been mott
fed. and 1t is considered probable that no
steps looking to his arrest will be taken.

special from Washington tonight con-
tains an interview with John K. Mclean.
in which he announces his candidacy for

financial question to be more of an issue

in Indiana. and the loss on the Indiana
property will probably amount to $780,
600. The ex-president was also an ex-
tensive dealer in oil and gas land near
the city of indianapolis, but just what
sum was sunk in this enterprise is not
known. His dealings in Colorado and
Wyoming stocks swallowed up another
big sum, the exact amount of which the
bank examiner at the moment is unable
to determine. Heavy losses were made
in wheat speculation in Chicago and
Toledo bucket shops" and boards of
trade.

age, which already foots up $250,0OO will
not be increased by further examinations.

WHY GREECE FAILED.
Signed Staement by Members of
the Ralli Cabinet.


New York, May 26.-The Evening
World prints today a cable dispatch from
its correspondent in Athens, giving
signed statements by members of the
Greek ministry regarding the failure of
the war against the Turks. That from
Prime Minister Rail- says:
Greece should not be censured for
the inactivity of the navy, nor should the
great powers be blamed. They did not
restrain our ships. Christianity did.
Had we bombarded the seaports of Tur-
key and the Aegean islands the Turks
would have massacred the Christians as
they did the Armenians. Could we
have used the navy the result of the war
know our poverty. | do not fear an I'M
just decision"
NJ. Skuloudis, minister of foreign af-
fairs, writes:
Greece had no national grievances
against Turkey, and without any blunder-
ing interference the Cretan affair could
have been quietly settled by the two
interested parties. But Europe gave the
patriotic society chance to mediate and
forced unprepared Greece into disas-
trous war. The former ministry weakly
opposed the course, but had not the cour-
age to resign. | expected the result.
We have been beaten by superior Turk
ish numbers and superior foreign strategy
and must now make the best of it."
NJ. Thamadhos, minister of war, after
noting the great inferiority of Greece in
numbers, says:
Greece can not yield Turkey the from
tier strategic points demanded. Brigands
would use them to ravage Thessaly, and
new defenSes cost much.'
The minister of education, NJ. Eu-
taXias, writes:
1.-The war has been one of the cross
against the crescent, with Europe against
Christ. The powers permitted our
troops to land to protect Christians in
Crete, then blockaded us. The very day
the sultans foreign policemen landed in
Canea Christian blood flowed The coun-
try has received a ten years setback.
All schools of Thessaly have been de-
stroyed. We had been making great
progress in common education. If the
powers give Turkey one foot of Greece
enlightenment will be by so much re-
tarded and the Christians imperled."
