Washington, April 1.-THE outlook
for the week in the senate is so much
befogged by the situation with refer
ence to committee reorganization that
1t is impossible to forecast the pro-
ceedings with any degree of accuracy.
There is a possibility that this ques
ton may consume great deal of at
tention, and if it is not satisfactorily
disposed of il may be used TO prevent
effort to secure action on important
measures.
Aside from the matter of reorganiza-
ton there are more important questions
before the senate:
These are:
The Morgan Cuban resolution, the
arbitration treaty, and the appropria-
ton bills.
Senator Davis, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, said today
that he was hopeful of securing con-
sideration for the treaty some. time
during the week, the only circum-
stances likely to prevent it being the
continued absence of senators. Sen
ator Davis refuses to make any pre-
dictions as TO the result of the final
vote. or when that vote will be reached.
Senator Allison said when he pre-
sented the report of the sundry civil
appropriation bill in the senate, that he
would call it up this week.
Senator Pettigrew. who will have
charge of the Indian bill. has also
stated that he hopes to take up that
bill If the Democrats do not object
on account of the incomplete condition
of the committees, both bills will prob
ably be acted upon during the week
Senator German is expected to make
general attack upon the appropria-
ton bill during the tendency of these
measures.
Both Senators Hoar and Nelson are
very anxious to press the bankruptcy
bill to vote, but it will give way be-
fore any of the other measures men
toned

His Desire.

Washington Star: It's a small
thing to mention" said the middle
aged man, in a tone of apology, but
while we're among strangers here,
wish you wouldn't cali me colonel
I'd rather be known as captain.
But you are fully entitled to the
designation"
Il know 1 am, and 1 don't want you
to think that I'm not proud of my mill
itary record. But everybody who gets
a title without having been in the
army seems to be called colonel It
isn't always a mans own fault: his
friends who mean well are responsible.
They never distinguish him as cap
tain and that's why I'd like to have
you use the word in my case. 1t serves
to identify me with the army, and it
sounds more genuine.

The House Programme.

Washington. April 1.-THE house will
continue its programme of three-day
adjournments this week.
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, will en-
barrass the majority as much as pos
sible by requiring a quorum to approve
the journal but will have little aid
from the Democrats if the spirit of the
resolution adopted by the Democratic
caucus yesterday prevails.
The policy of the house leaders, at
present, is inaction, however. and his
opportunity to harass the Republicans
will be slight.
1t may be that owing to the urgency
of the case the leaders may deem it
advisable, when the house meets on
Wednesday. to take up the armOr plate
question in some form. In this event.
such legislation as is deemed proper
can be had under a special order from
the committee on rules, but nothing
has. as yet, been decided.

l took from their hiding place last night
Your letters, sweetheart, and read:
And their passion thrilled in the wan
light,
Though l said. My love is dead"
But tears came back to my world-worn
eyes
As 1 thought of golden June.
And lovers who sang. Love never dies
While boats drift under the moon
For white wings come, and white sails go.
Drifting out into the dawn;
But memory comes with rehuent flow,
And IFS true as ever it was, l know.
That love lives on and on
1t cones with the touch or the clasp OF
a hand,
Or the glance of a strangers eye,
Or kindly act in a foreign land D,
Or the CLEAN of a starry sky,
Or drifting boat on a silver lake.
Or lily you touch with your oar.
Or the sound of the winds and waves
that break,
In melody on the shore.
But as long as white wings come and go,
Or drift in the rosy dawn.
While memory comes with refuent flow
II is true as ever it was. I know,
That love lives or end on

are proceeding to their positions under
cover of the darkness.
The latest information received here
on the subject of the raid shows that
the invading insurgents first advanced
toward Chassanga- It is reported that
the Turks opposed the attack with ar
tillery. The Greek losses were % killed
and u wounded. The Turkish losses
are said to have been much greater.
1T is rumored that yet another at
tack was made on the Turks at the
rear of Mount Olympus. where the
Greeks succeeded in planting a flag.
Stringent orders have been issued
against irregular fighting, and the pen
atty of death will be imposed for any
infraction. The general impression
here is that war will he proclaimed to-
morrow (Monday), or Tuesday.
THE position of affairs is now ex-
tremely critical. Although the Turk
ish army has not yet assumed the Of
fensive, orders to that effect from the
sultan are expected at any moment.
All classes of the troops are full of
war enthusiasm.
Some details are at hand of Skin
mish near Gravena- On Thursday
morning 1,500 Fuzonoi, uniformed and
commanded by Greek officers, crossed
the frontier near BaItimon and ad-
vanced to point near Gravena. Here
they met a detachment of IS chasseurs,
on picket duty in the woods, and
hemmed them in. After two hours of
sharp fighting. the Sixth battalion of
chasseurs came to the rescue, under the
command of Islam Pasha, and drove
the Fuzoni back to the frontier. The
insurgents lost 10 killed.
AT the same time Greek artillery
was firing upon a Turkish block house,
night yesterday, the combatants retain
ing their respective positions. 1t is not
known how many Turks were killed,
but il is said the number was small"

A Benediction.

Sweet Spirit, Heavenly Dove, do Thou
descend.
And gently bend
Above my ady-of-all-loveliness;
Her. all time. bless.
What time. she wakens to a day of care,
Oh be Thou therei
And when her WEAKNESS and pain in
crease,
Give Thou thy peace.
Go Thou in guise of all things bright and
fair
In kindly air.
In glory of the changing pageantry
OF cloudy sky,
In sDlendor of the sun shafts, as they
pass
Across the grass, n

beauteous flowers,
To cheer her hours
Wheneer the burdens. of her sorrows

Soothe her distress;
And when the day is dying in the
west,
Give Thou thy rest.

Several Small Matters.

London. April ia dispatch to the
Times from Canea says that another fire
broke out in the vicinity of the Italian
barracks, but was extinguished before it
had made much progress. A quantity OF
dynamite bombs was found in a house
adjoining the barracks and promptly
seized. Since the arrival of the foreign
troops, the city has been somewhat more
orderly and the MahammedanS have
ceased to carry arms openly.
The British vice-consul met a lot of in
Surgents yesterday, who informed him
that communications addressed to them
must hereafter be forwarded through
Colonel Vassos.
Last evening Saturday the insurgents

a Wise Fool.

Youths Companion: The function of
the kings fool was. in medieval times,
very important and he who filed this
post had great influence over the king.
One Of the most astute men was Tri-
boulet the favorite fool of Francis I.
The king, who was of q very gener-
Gus nature. had acceded to q request of
Charles W. the emperor of Germany,
that he might pass through France on
mis- way from Spain to the Netherlands.
Francis nut aside all recollection )of
what he had suffered at the emperor's
hands when he was a captive in Spain,
and received him with great splendor.
This conduct gave rise to much com
ment. and afforded Triboulet an oppor
tunity 10 give some sensible advice.
One morning Francis came in, and
observed that Trihoulet was scribbling
away very busily on a bit of paper.
What are you doing?" inquired his
majesty
Il am writing name down on the
register of fools" answered Triboulet.
What nance" asked the king.
THAT of the Emperor Charles, who is
committing the folly of intrusting
himself to you by passing through your
Kingdom
But how if [ let him pass safely?"
Then 1 shall substitute your name
for his" was the retort.
Once a powerful nobleman who had
suffered from the gihes of the king S
fool threatened to have him logged.
Triboulet appealed to the king.
Have no fear" said Francis. IF
any one were bold enough to kill you,
I should have him hanged in an hour
afterward.'
20 sire" replied Triboulet, would it
not please your majesty to have him
hanged an hour before?"

ITEMS FRoM MURRAY.
The Germania Will Run as Long as
It Can Get Ore.


The Hanauer has started ore fur
mace this week.
There are II cases of lead poisoning
in Murray.
From these parts lately there has
been more of an exodus TO the mount
aims than 70 Klondike.
1t is understood that there is an ac-
cident insurance now in operation at
the Germania smelter. The men pay 81 a
month, 40 per cent of which goes TO -
insurance company and 50 per cent to
the doctors. 1t seems a little strange
that the doctors are willing 10 whack
up,
Since mines are closing down
throughout the country, rumors natu-
rally circulate about the smelters clos
ing down as a consequence.
Manager T. Z. Jones Of the Ger
mania was seen by a reporter the other
day with respect to the outlook Mr.
jones, although not confident as TO the
outcome, said his company would stick
to it to the last. As long as they could
get ore they would run, even though
they made nothing. Mr.. Jones looked at
the situation as being very puzzling
and mysterious. He said that if the
railroads would only make some con-
cessions the smelters would be able to
90 50 likewise, ana mus give the miner
a little more for his, ore. The miner is
the one who is suffering, and yet the
whole business depends upon him
There need be no alarm as TO the
smeIter running down if it does not
run full force. it will run in proper
ton to the amount of ore that can be
had.
Sandy is not booming place at pres
ent. Only one furnace is running at
the Mingo smelter, which means very
little business.
