 The men had loaded the holes and light ed the fuses. The first one was lighted, but the second refused to burn, it be- ing very wet in the face of the drift. While they were trying to make the sec ond fuse burn the first one was discharg- ed, throwing the rocks with terrific force against the unfortunate miners Before they could get out the second blast ex- ploded.

Dewey's Luck.

1t is indeed, fortunate that Dewey
got away from cable communication
with Washington. The following are
the brilliant instructions given him
before leaving Hong Kong. A cab
met officer is quoted as saying that
the President prepared them with his
own hands, though this we doubt.
They sound more like Secretary
Long.
proceed to Manila, come TO anchor
about eight miles off and watch for
the Spanish fleet. If you can engage
them out of range of the shore bat
teries destroy them. Then try to oc-
cupy the city, but keep a safe range
from the shore batteries. If the fleet
has left, try and find it. If impossi-
bic, make landing, using your own
discretion, and guided by the advice
of the pilot. You can destroy the
batteries, but have no unnecessary
bombardment.
Commodore Dewey, being man of
sense, as well as brave and capable
officer, neither anchored his fleet out
of range OF the shore batteries nor
anywhere else. He sailed right into
ing harbor and under the guns of the
shore battery won his victory.
There is little doubt that if Samp-
son could have got out Of range Of
the administration he would have
used his own powerful feet long
since to better purpose than cap
turing stray merchantmen. 1t is we'll
known that he had planned to take Il
vigorous offensive, when the old gran
MES in Washington stopped him,
The timjdiity Of the administration
seems to have lapsed over from the
time OF webbing negotiations into
the time Of dilatory war. For this,
we think, the nation is chiefly in
debted to the weakness Of the Cab
inet.--Stockton Mail.

Courageous Buck Deer Whose Fierce
Conflicts often Result
Fatally.

Although it is generally known how
the buck beer fight and how sometimes
I'M consequence their antlers become in
eHtricahiy entanglcd. there are few per-
Sons who have seen them when so inter
locked, says the New York Times.
At certain seasons of the year when
the does are breeding their young the
bucks are both very fierce and coura-
geous in their protection of them and the
approach of another buck is sigma for
battle. In these conflicts it frequently
happens that one or the other is killed.
and there are occasional instances in
the course of these struggles of the
antlers becoming interlocked between
each other, which results in the death
Of both animals. One instance is on
record where three pairs Of horns were
found thus .entangled together, the
skulls and skeletons lying as proof of
the deadly outcome of the battle.
1t is in October and November that
the buck becomes so combative and in
a few weeks thereafter he loses his
sleek condition, sheds his horns and re-
treats to the denser forest.

War.

l am War. The upturned eyehalls
of piled dead men greet my eye,
And the sons Of mothers perish and
laugh to see them die.
Mine the demon lust for torture, mine
the devil lust for pain,
And there is TO me no beauty like the
pale brows of the slain!
But my voice calls forth the god-ike
from the sluggish souls at ease,
And the hands that toyed with ledg-
ers scatter thunders round the
seas;
And the lolling idler, wakcnmg, meas.
ures up to Gods own plan,
And the pulling triAer great tens to the
stature of man.
When I speak the centuried towers
of old cities melt III smoke,
And the fortressed ports sink reeling
at my tar-aimed thunder stroke;
And an immemorial empire filings its
last flag to the breeze,
Sinking with its splintered navies
down in the Implying seas.
But the blind Of sight awaken to an
unimagined day,
And the mean Of soul grow conscious
there is greatness IN their clay;
Where my bugle voice goes pealine
slaves grow heroes at it's breath
And the trembling coward rushes tc
the welcome arms Of death.
Pagan, heather and inhuman, dew
ilish as the heart of hell,
Wild as chaos, strong for ruin, clothed
in hate unspeakable-
So they call me-and ] care not
still work my waste afar,
Needing not your weeping mother
and your widows--i am War!
But your eoft.boned men grow he
roes when my flaming eyes the,
see,
And l teach your little peoples hov
supremely great they be;
Yea, l tell them Of the Wilderness O

And the god-like stuff that's molde'
