Poems for Congressman.
Washington Post

Washington POST
When Representative Jerry Simp-
son Of Kansas, was making his
speech in the house the other day
on the comps rative merits of torpedo
beats and battleships, members
whose seats sdioin his were digest
ing the following bit Of poetry which
appeared in a western newspaper,
and subsequently, came to Mr.. Simp-
sons attention:
The new protected cruiser cruised upon the
ocean wide,
Till man-of- war espied her and punched holes
into her sides.
And ths man-of-war continued for little
while to float,
Till driven to the bottom by new torpedo
boat,
Then while the foe triumphant rubbed his
hands and softly laughed,
Torpedo boat destroyers came and sunk the
other craft.
And as the victor dashed about, through bat
ties smoke and murk,3
Destroyer of torpedo boat destroyers did their
work.
whereat into the action something new in YES
sells came
"'Destroyers of destroyers of destroyers'' was
its name.
Which brings the matter dswn to date, where
it will rest, no doubt,
Until some ten times wrecker of destrovers
ventures out.
The poetic passion, dominated by
the Easter season, is by no means
confined to topics on which Repre-
sentative Simpson OF Kansas, chose
to talk. Senators and representa-
tives of all parties are not only
flooded with kilograms for peace or
war, but like wise with concoctions

composition on The Veterans
Dream" which starts eff in this
form:
Then sound the good old bugle, boys, Wen don
the blue again,
And buckle on the armor that for many wears
has lain
In peacefulness and quiet. boys, for old glory
must remain
Untarnished and unsullied by the tresehery OF
Spain.

MOB AFTER MESSER.
He Is Believed to Have Murdered His
 Daughter.

Little Rock, Ark, March 10.-A mob of enraged citizens of Cleburne county are in hot pursuit of William Messer, a white man whose home is near Quitman, that county and a lynching is considered inevi- table when they capture him. Messer was charged by his daughter with one of the most revolting crimes on record
 A month ago the daughter mysteriously disappeared and Messer is now accused or having murdered her. Judge Middleton is sued a warrant for Messer's arrest, and a posse of officers were to serve the writ They surrounded the house and called upon Messer to surrender. He refused, and bolted through the rear door, firing at the officers as he ran, and several snots were fired at Messer and none took effect. He took shelter on a bluff near the house and a fusilade of shots were exchanged, Messer finally making his escape.
 The posse was at once reinforced by large number of citizens who are searching every cliff and ravine and are determiheo o upon lynching Messer should he be cap tured alive.

Havana, March 10.-Advices from Madrid deny that Minister of Foreign Affairs Gull lon proposes to resign if the plans of the present ministry are not carried out.
 The recall to Madrid of the Spanish min ister Savillo, from France is said to be of importance in connection with the support the French bankers have promised to the floating of a Spanish loan; but it Is also sald the terms demanded for the loan are rather severe, involving a continuation of their present contract controlling the Span- ish railroad.
 Consul Barker of Sagua has telegraphed La Lucha that there is no truth in the re- ports or friction between him and Consult General Lee.

MCKINLEY ALMOST REHDY
 TO WRIST SPHINS TYRRNT
 HHND FROM GUBH'S THROAT

British ambassador when he recently called upon President Mckinley expressed the cordial sympathy of Great Britain with the United States but urged peace at al most any price. This, it may be stated is erroneous. Another development bearing on this point is to be found in the allega- ton that Great Britain has warned her ship builders not to furnish the United States with any vessels now building for other countries, on the ground that if the Maine was wrecked by an outside expeos- ion, war between Spain and the United States must date from that time. This ground for Englands prohibition to her shipbuilders to sell vessels to the United States is regarded as untenable by ddplo- mahStS,

 naval court of inquiry into the loss of the Maine is quietly continuing it's work and Its members are as seoretive as usual. So far as can be judged, there have been no important developments recently.
 The Party Arrives
 The Anita, which arrived this morning, had aboard Senator Gallneer, Senator Thurston and Mrs Thurston, Senator Money, with his father, mother and sister; Congressman Cummings, Congressman Smith. Mrs. Eva Valesh and Herbert Browne
 The party breakfasted at the Hotel Pa- saje. Consul General Lee called about noon. Arrangements are being made for courtesy calls upon Captain General Blan- co and the other Spanish officials.
 Next Thursday there will be an inf1u- ential gathering at the palace under the chairmanship of General Blanco to promote the purchase of a warship to be called tho Island of Cuba.
 Capt. Sampson, who has been exposed to the sun while on the wreck lately, is some- what indisposed today, but the doctor on the Montgomery says he has no appre- hension of a serious illness. The Spanish divers avoid the monday heat, working in the morning and evening.
 Progress Not Apparent
 Two divers were examined Ny the Ameri- can court of inquiry today as to their cent observations at the wreck. The work of wreckage appears very slow. If any real progress is made it is scarcely appar- ent from day to day. Still, it is hoped that when the upper debris has been removed to the barge more bodies will be recovered It may be, however, that the last body taining a shape recognizable as human has been removed from the Maine. Chaplain Chadwick today, from descriptions, has identified the two bodies which were buried at Colon cemetery together some days ago a a thOsa Ineaph I Gordon both colored.
 The officers and men on the Montgomery are still refused shore leave. They devote much time to drill and settling up exer- cses, the latter exciting interest especially to the sailors on the Spanish ships, where the tactics are quite different.
 Consul-General Lee called today on Con- mander Converse of the Montgomery. The congressional tourists will likely remain ten days or a fortnight as the health regil- lations would prevent an earldtr departure even if desired. Ten o'clock tomorrow morning has been fixed the time for the call of ceremony on General Blanco. There is official authority for the statement that the Spanish court of inquiry will make it's decisions public as soon as reported.
 Work Believed to Be Done
 The Fern, winch arrived this morning. brought the Matne's silverware and sixty rifles recovered from the wreck. Mr. Bis sell stenographer of the court of inquiry was also on board. Both of the stenogra- phers have now left the court and 1t has only temporary clerk. This leaves many here to think it's work is practically done, and that 1t will return to Key West by or before Saturday.
 The Fern coaled and the provisions for the starving Cubans were then put on board. She is scheduled to sail for Matan- gas tomorrow.
 srhe Marblehead, which sailed for Tor tugas will go from there to Tampa where 1t is reported she will take on additional ammunition.
