BROTHERHOOD OF
 LOCOMOTIVE FlREMEN
Pass Rssolat'ons on the Death of William Simpson.

Your committee, appointed to draft memorial report upon the death of Brother William Simpson. of Aztna Lodge No. l63, Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen, ,of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, respectfully submlt:
 That in midst of life we are in death, and that we esteem 1t an honor to commemorate the death of one so worthy of our love.
 Tn life he was frosted, honored and beloved by the people with whom he lived. His domestic lie was most happy.
 Blessed with wife whose thoughts were eongenial, he was also the father of a devoted auafoY- ing family, who will cherish his memory and not be unmindfal Of his life of devotion to them. Death came to him unexpectedly, but not among strangers; yet it feund him fully equipped for the journey. with the l lives of .hers dear ones in his keep ing, and ever mindful of his duty; nevertheless, Ae passed into the Great Hereafter with none to cherish nor to comfort him, save the assu?- auce of true, honest and well-spent life, and the whlsperings of Gods messenger, the Angel of Death, in his mind, he departed this life to a land from whose bourne no travel CT returns"
 1 When we thus rememb CT such prin l ciples that have emana.ed from such pure man, we may profit by emu lating bis example, so that when God calls us, we may, like our below ed Brother William Simpson, be like him, and in obedience to the Mes senger of Death respond, T come, I come He had DO conscious feeling of any gentle tonch upon his brow save Gods, He Who befriends US all. The lops of such a father is irreplr- able.
 1 May we not, therefore. do all in our power to sustain the bereaved family by our genuine sympathy and sincere grief at his nntimely death? May we profit by the study of such . | life.
 His family will grieve for the loved and lost, but let them he consoled by the blessed promise their religion has revealed to them, and then 1t eau be said.
 There is no death; what seems so is
 transition;
 This life of mortal breath Is but suburb of the life elysian,
 Whose portals we call death "
 No words of eulogy from IS can add to life well spent. May all learn from the lie just closed a beau. tiful lesson and appreciate the in spiration in it's example.
 Resolved. That q copy of this memorial report be published in the Pine Bluff Press Eagle. fhe GRAPHIC, l Courier and eonmefial, and be it further
 Resolved, Tsat q copy of same be furnished Mrs. William Simpson.

AN Identity OF Interests.

LONDON, March 10.-Iu the House OF
Commons to-day Hon. Hubert Eslen.
tine Duncombe expected to ask the
parliamentary secretary for the for
eign office, Mr. Curzop, whether, with
the view of recognizing the identity Of
the interests of all English speaking
peoples her msiesiy's government will
consider the advisability of placing the
services Of the British fleet at the dis
posal of the United States in the
event of complications between
that country and any foreign
power. In addition, Mr.. Ronald
Munro Ferguson QiberaD questioned
the government as to whether there is
any truth in the reports that communi
cations on the Cuban question have
been exchanged between the British
am ba: sador at Washington and the
government of the United States.
Mr.. CuIzon. replying to Mr.. Monro-
Ferguson, said no communications on
the Cuban question had been exchanged
between the British ambassador at
Washington and the government of the
United States. The question which the
Hon. Hubert Valentine Duncombe was
to ask was not put. Relative to the
temporary withdrawal of his question
Mr.. Dnncombe said that any trouble
hIeatenipg the United States Will be
shared by Great Britain. Other men,
bers who were interviewed on the sub.
ject oil spoke in a similar strain.
Answering que. ton on the subject
Mr.. CuiZon said Russia had not sent an
timatum to China with reference to
Port Arthur and Ta-Lien- Wan.
Mr.. CurZon also announced that the
British ambassador at St. Petersburg
had confirmed the report that Russia
was negotiating for the lease of Port
Arthur and ia Lien Wan, and that
Russia was also negotiating for the
right to construct o railroad fromPetuns
to Port Arthur; but, he explained. Rus
sia did not demand sovereign rights, nor
has she threatened to move troops into
Menchuria in the event of China's non
compliance with her demands. Mr.
Curzon also denied that Russia and
France had protested against the anglo
German loan to China.
