MOUNTAIN ECHOES.
EDITH L. LHwIs.)

We had determined to see Colorado
sunrise. But at five o'clock on cold.
gray morning the will was not pitched
to inhexibility. and when we awOke
our first movement was weakly to-
ward the window, our second precipi-
lately toward the bed. There we sat
and meditated.
''Shall we?" ! said.
"Shall we?" echoed Maisie.
do you want to?'
do you?"
'What shall We do"
Toss penny!
Cropping half awake in a drawer the
penny was at last and with mirthful
triumph brought to light. In obedi-
ence to the fate that turned it heads
up we rose and dressed. Then. filing
our pockets with crackers. we set out.
Maisie gasped and shivered as the
first touches of sharp air caught away
her breath. Then with backward
glance, she whirled away. and l fol-
lowed. strewing a trail of crackers
across the tennis court. The Loving
Cup is a hill of rocks upon hill OF
sand. Towards this Maisie headed.

air. fresh with cool perfumes. We leap

looking down upon valley. drenched
with dew and streaked with light. Far

and creviced with snow. The whole
world was asleep and with exultation
and a general sensation of chilliness
we sat down.
Then the sun rose-but so fiat eli
max! No clouds, no rays of co.or. no
glory of light 1t was the same sun
we see at noon day that slipped
from behind the mountain opposite
and gilded the limbs of an arrow
shaped pine tree. Disguised. disap-
pointed and very sleepy. we curled up
on the cold rocks in the bright sun
shine and fell asleep. When we awoke
it was broad day, and hand in hand
we ran laughingly down the hill side
to breakfast.

with gray-green lichens. Pale yellow
butterflies futtered over the rushing
water. back and forth between the
painted rocks. But gray sky bent
overhead and presently. as we linger-
ed. roar of thunder swept through
the place and sent us hurrying on.
Maisie glanced apprehensively at the
sky.
Its going to rain" she said de-
cidedly. Lets get out of this!"
She swung the quirt and the spir-
tied mare laid back her ears and
sprang forward. We raced over the
narrow road with desperate energy,

until the walls of the gorge began to
into steep hill sides covered with brush
and sage. Ma;sie pulled up with
laugh. Her small. pale face was quiv-
ering with excitement. Drawing
long breath. she looked again at the
sky and laughed again as she felt
light drops of rain on her mouth and
cheek. Then her big eyes grew seri-

I'VE must cross the ford" she said.
There's big storm coming. IL we
reach il before it rains much. we're all
right. There's a house beyond"
But the wind was rising. Clouds of
mist swirled about the mountain tops
and yelled them from view. Bursts
of thunder ratified along the hill sides,
and the sound was flung to and fro

came down.

horses and rider are encompassed
with host of difficulties. if not of

However. we pushed on. Half bind

bank of the ford. looking into rae

spray.

So We plunged in. close abreast.
1t was furious work. Urging the
mare here. checking her here. coaxing
and scOlding by turn. my attention lay
fast riveted on my horse, until
sharp cry drew my eyes to Maisie. Her
horse was lOOsing footing and the cur

the saddle and was standing waist
high in water, pulling at the bride

then Maisie didn't faint. but mounted
again, and we rode swiftly to the

THEPEACE COMMISSION
Day, Davis and Reid Reached
Washington.
IMPORTANT CABINET MEETING.
Instructions Discussed but Not Made Pub
lic-Omoials Said Not to he Alarmed
over Newspaper Reports From the
Philippines-FaithI In otis Ability.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-A long meet
ing of the cabinet was held yesterday,
there being one session then a recess
and then another session. The situa-
ton at Manila was discussed at some
length, but the principal business of the
meeting was the discussion of the letter
of instructions to be given to the COM
mission which will meet in Paris to for
mulate treaty of peace with Spain.
Several of the members of the cabinet
who were taking their vacations were
recalled by the president TO attend yes
terday's meeting Secretary Alger was
not present.
The letter of instructions will not be
made public, but it is understood that it
is comprehensive in character and, in
addition to making plain the general
policy of the government on all impOr-
tant points, it covers all of the details
that can now be foreseen and provided
for. 1t is believed, however, that many
questions are likely TO arise during the
deliberations of the joint conference
upon which the American members
will require specific cable instructions
from the president.
AS the members will sail from New
York Saturday on the Campania they
must leave Washington Friday. 1t is be-
ieyed that the president has not finally
and definitely concluded upon a line of
policy respecting the Philippines
whether they shall be retained or re.
linquished.
The element in the cabinet is said to
be disposed to postpone the final decision
on the future of the Philippines, argu.
ing that the matter might safely be left
| to the discretion of the peace commits
sioners, and pointing out that import.
ant developments, changing the whole
aspect of the question, could fairly be
expected before the joint commission
had taken up the subject for consid-
GRAFTON.
In spite of all the disquieting reports
that have come of late from newspaper
sources indicating the existence of criti.
| cally strained relations between the in.
surgents and the American forces OF
occupation, it is fact that for three
days no word came to either state, navy
or war department from Manila until
yesterday. That was a message from
| Admiral Dewey asking authority from
the departmental officers to purchase
|
him a supply for three months. The
admiral made no mention Of any dis
turbance.
Some war department officials believe
General Otis has peculiar fitness fol
dealing with the problem.
General Otis has been given plenary
powers to compel the insurgents to re,
spect a suspension of hostilities.
Some Of the members of the cabine
again saw President Mckinley at tn,
White House last night. Secretary Day
was also there.
Last night Senator Davis was at tht
White House, where he dined with tn,
president Commissioner Whitelav
Reid of New York also reached the cit,
! last night, coming by a very late train
and stopped at the Shoreham. Senate
Frye is expected to arrive tonight.

CUBAN COMMISSION.
American Members May Select Places to
Stay Temporarily Outside
of Havana.

HAVANA, Sept. 13.-The American
evacuation commissioners, it is thought
probable, will select places of residence
during the stay of the commission, at
Ell Vedade, a beautiful village, five
miles west of Havana, ON the coast,
just beyond Punta Bravo.
The neighborhood is a-istocratic, and
there is regular steam transit trans.
portation between the village and the
city.
Tue Spanish gunboats Interpida and
Antonio Lopez arrived yesterday from
Gibera and NuevItas, shortly followed
by the Legaspi with General Luques
division, including 80 sick soldiers.
The wharves of Havana are now filled
with provisions for which it is impossi.
Bile to get transit. The papers are urg.
ing the police to clean the wharves, and
to take special precautions against the
continuance of Immoral and unciyil-
lied scenes" there.

NEW JAP TARIFFS.
Government Proclaimed When Treaty
and Legislative Duties Would
60 Into Effect.


WASHINGTON, Sept. l4.-A telegram
has been received at the Japanese lega-
tion TO the effect that on the 10th inst.
the government of Japan proclaimed
that the new japanese statutory tariff
as well as the English, German, French
and Austro. Hungarian conventional
tariffs would be put into operation on
Jan. /, 1899.
The revised treaties as a whole will
go into operation on July 19, 1899, but
by their terms it was provided that, il
the Japanese government so desired, a
new tariff might be substituted before
that date for the conventional tariff
which has been i'll exclusive operation
since 1866.
The new tariff will consist of two
parts, first the schedules of rates on
certain articles specified in the treaties
| with the four powers named; and, sec
! ond, the general statutory tariff enacted
by the diet
The conventional tariffs will continue
during the life of the treaties the statu-
tory tariff will be subject to the legis-
lative will The United States and
other treaty powers besides the ones
having conventional tariffs, will enjoy
all the benefits of those tariffs by reason
of the favored nation clauses in their
treaties.
The present conventional tariff, in op-
Grafton since 1866, fixed maximum OF
! per cent ad valOrem, which could not
be increased except with the consent Of
| the treaty powers.
Japan will enjoy practically COM
| plete liberty of action under the new
arrangement, since the new conven-
tional tariffs are Of limited scope and
terminable at the end of fixed period.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Two of the
gentlemen selected by the president to
be members of the commission TO inves-
tigate the conduct of the war have
practically accepted, Colonel Sexton and
DIR. Gilman. The latter arrived in the
city last night. Favorable responses are
looked for from General Dodge and DR..
Keen, thus likely insuring four men,

WASHINGTON, Sept l4.-The difficulty
which is being experienced in the con.
struction Of the proposed commission
for the investigation of the conduct of
the staff branches Of the army during
the war with Spain has excited some
discussion in militory circles as to the
possibility of the practical failure of an
investigation by commission 1t de.

proval among army officers of the
proposition to have the conduct of thu
war investigated by a civil commission

JONES OUT OF FIGHT.
a Combination with Shepard
of Illinois.

OMAHA, Sept. l4.-Politics Of the order
seemed to be engrossing the attention
of the delegates of the encampment of
the Sons of Veterans yesterday more
than actual work.
There was the formation of slate
which practically aTayed the east
against the west. The west received
the office of commander.in.ch Lieu
tenant Governor Jones of Ohio, seeing
that he would run a chance of defeat,
having tied up with Colonel Frank
Shepard of Illinois. The latter will
probably be elected, although Oberdorf
of New York has not yet retired from
the race. In return for this, the west
is expected to allow Cincinnati to be
selected for the next encampment and
to countenance the election of Adjutant
General Bolton as quartermaster gen.
eral.
