SAYINGS OF THE WISE,

The time is ripe, and rotten-ripe, for
change;
Then let it come; I have no dread OF
what
Is called for by the instinct OF man
kind:
Nor think that Gods world will fall,
apart
Because we tear parchment more or
less.
james Russell Lowell.

worse than pulling it down.-Altgeil,
IN every country the nation is in the
cottage, and if the light of your legis-
lation does not shine in there, your
statemanship is a failure and your sys-
tenn is a mistake.-Canon Farrar.
Judges are but men. and in all ages
have shown fair share of frailty.

when the World Grows Fair.

I tell you this for wonder, that no
man shall then be glad
OF his fellows fall and mishap to
snatch at the work he had
Then all mine and all thine shall be
ours, and no more shall any man
crave
For riches that serve for nothing but
to fetter a friend for a slave.
For all these shall be ours and all
mems, nor shall any lack a share
OF the toll and the gain of living in the
days when the world grows fair.

Nothing definite has been heard
from Secretary of the Treasury Gage
since Samuel Gompers, cigarmakeS,
published his letter on the evils of the
gold standard as advocated by Mr..
Gage and his silent partner, Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
OF course, Tammany and other New

auences will do what they can to de-
feat the will of the people. Few are
now simple enough to put any trust
in politicians; especially New York

Practically all of the existing daily
newspapers are plutocratic organs.

other nefarious objects. is designed to

United States Consul Fails tn Have the
Authorities Stop Her.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 17.-[Copy-
right, 1898, by Associated Press. THE
Spanish steamer Purisima Conception
Kingston at o'clock yesterday morn
ing, taking a westward course. The
colonial authorities ignored the protest
of United States Consul Dent as not
based on sufficient evidence, and gave
the ship her clearance. The Purisima
Conception arrived at Kingston in the
latter part of May from ManZanillo,
with a Spanish commissariat officer in
disguise seeking supplies. She had al
ready on board a large amount which
had been obtained elsewhere. But at
Kingston she began at once to take flour.

bags Of corn from jamaican merchants.
The colonial authorities were in
formed by her owners that clearance
papers would be asked for non-block-
AIDED port, like Manzanillo, on the
south coast. United States Consul Dent
made representations to the government
of the island against the vessel, and a
careful inquiry was instituted, the au-
thorities promising that if Dent could

they would refuse TO allow her to load.
This Dent could not 10, although ne was
morally certain the vessel was loaded
with food for Banco. There is little
likelihood that she will reach her desti-
nation, as Admiral Sampson is fully
aware Of her plans, and has probably
detailed a fast auxiliary cruiser to capt

The captain and officers OF the auxil-
larry cruiser Yosemite feel foolish and
are thoroughly vexed. AS the Yosemite

yesterday morning she passed a large
steamer going out. No attempt was

that the steamer was the Purisima Con-

American cruisers, had been especially
warned about this steamer as she would

600 In gold on board.

ITALY'S CABINET RESIGNS.
Rudini Informs the Chamber of Deputies
of the Changed Condition.

Rome. June 20.-In the chamber of
deputies the premier. Marquis di Ru-
DIM announced that the ministry,
which was formed only on May 81 has
resigned. Amid considerable excite
ment Marquis di Rudini said that after
considering the parliamentary situation
and in order not to prejudice a grave
public question, the ministers had
placed their designations i'm the hands
of the king. who reserved the right of
decision relative to their acceptance,
a remark which was greeted wNh muir
murs.
Continuing, the marquis said the min
istry would remain in Office for the
present in order to attend to routine
business and safeguard public order.
He then begged the chamber TO sus-
pend it's sittings. The request was met
with shouts OF No" No" The pre-
mier added that the chamber could con-
fer on it's president the power Of re-
summoning the deputies when it was
considered to do so for approving a
vote on account for a short period.
Loud dissenting murmurs followed this
suggestion.

EVERY SPANISH GUN WAS sILENCED.
Destruction and Death Among the Dons
Must Have Appalling.

Several times Admiral Sampson sig
nailed the ships temporarily to cease fir
ing in order to allow the smoke to clear
from the batteries. When the order
came at $50 to cease firing every gun
OF the enemy had been silenced for ten
minutes, but as the ships drew off some
of the Spanish courage returned and a
half dozen shots were fired spitefuly at
the Massachusetts and Oregon, falling
In their wakes. At the close Of the ac-
ton a stream Of multi-colored flags
f1oated from the New York generally
eomplimenting the ships, and especially
commencing the work OF the Texas and
New Orleans The men Of the New Or
leans raised q cheer, which was passed
quickly on from ship to ship. until every
Jackie in the fleet was bowling himself
hoarse.
The destruction and death at the west
ern batteries must have been appalling.
Many of the guns had been mounted
during the last two days. From this IL
is inferred that Admiral Cervera had
given up all hope Of extricating himself
from the trap in which he is caught
and had removed the guns from some of
his ships TO strengthen the land de-
lenses. Admiral Sampson is highly
aratified with the results of the bonn
bardment He thinks the western bat
teries practically demolished. AS some
of the guns on the eastern batteries did
not fire he thinks IL possible they were
only dummies.
The only regret expressed is that
Lieutenant Hobson and his companions,
by their presence in lei MORO, made IT
sacred. Otherwise IL would now be a
pile OF ruins. The number OF shots fired
is not known when this dispatch is

NOTHING STARTLING HAPPENS.
Signs, However, That the Oniciais Are
Looking for News Very soon.

Signs, However, That the OriciaIs Are
Looking for News Very soon.
Washington, June lin the way OF
actual events there was little recorded
yesterday. No word came from Samp-
sen at Santiago or from Dewey at Ma
Mia. This lack of news from the re-
spective seats of war gave rise TO no
apprehension. The officials are resting
secure in the belief that the marines at
Guantanamo can easily maintain them
selves until the troops arrive and the
worst than can be feared at Manila is
not harm to Dewey, but TO the Span
iards in the city. The officials in the
war department do not give out any
specific information as TO when General
Shafter will land in Cuba, but from
certain signs Of restlessness exhibited
by them ii is evident they would not
be surprised TO have some very impor-
tant news at any time, now. There was
an exhibition of feverish activity at the
war department. SO pronounced as to
attract attention even in these stirring
times.
1t was apparent that renewed efforts
were making to complete the equip
ment of the troops already gathered at
the concentration points, and that
preparations are in progress to move
a number of troops So far. however, il
is stated that no orders have gone out
for the actual movement, and what has
been and is being done in that direction
is merely preparatory. If General Miles,
as is thought to be probable, recon-
mends a further concentration of troops
on the southern seaboard the new camp
at Fernandina, Fla, will be made ready
for the reception of the additional
troops The officials have been fore
handed as to this camp, profiting by the
experience gathered in the establish
ment Of the two great camps at Chicka-
manga and Camp Alger.
The navy department has sent to the
battleship Massachusetts complete
new breech mechanism for one of the
big 13-inch guns of that ship. This was
due to report reaching the depart
ment about week ago that the breech
of one Of the guns was out of order.
The new mechanism will be delivered
in a day or two and can be readily sub
stituted for the old breech. The con-
dition OF this 13-inch gun gave rise TO
rumors that the Massachusetts had suf-
fered rather severely during the first
action off Santiago, and that two OF the
big guns were disabled and a gunner
killed. There was no basis for the
rumor beyond the disordered breech
mechanism referred to.

his decision in the case brought by the
board OF fire and water commissioners
of Marquette To establish that the $40 =
$40 of its funds, which were in the j. NJ.
Wilkinson private bank at the time of
the suspension. was a trust fund. The
judge held that the money was a COM
mon deposit and placed the board on a
level with the rest of the depositors.
The boards claim to preferment was
based on the fact that the late Mr.
Wilkinson was its treasurer without
bonds and deposited the boards money
in his own bank The case will be taken
