Now, Alcohol, come answer me
These questions | shall put to thee.

What is thy trade: and what's thy name

NJ name Is intcmrerance.
Long have l ruled upon this earth,
For many crimes I've given birth,
I'm the father OF all grief and woe,
And spread distress where'er go.
My dwelling place is at the bar,
My customers are near and far;
| fiji their heads, and drain their purse,
And turn their blessings to a curse.
My face is covered with a mask,
My hiding place is in the cask;
My business is TO gender strife,
To put asunder man and wife.

Wherever satan Is, I'm found;
l am his waiter day and night.
His service is my chief delight.
He is my captain and my guide,
l always stand close by his side.
I've killed more men, upon my word,
Than famine, pestilence or sword.
With my deceitful, flattering tongue,
l draw to me both old and young,
And when / get them In my snare,
l hold them fast and keep them there.

Reading Mrs. lnez Smalfs paper on
"Alcohol" in THE AMERICAN recently
brought to mind poem l recited years
ago in the Templar's lodge, and | write it
out for the w. c. T. L. column. 1t gives
very good idea, in my estimation, of
what King Alcohol is doing to and fro in

The Attorney-General asked that the
question regarding the expenses of the
President in the States, be withheld
for two or three days as the Presi-
dent intended to make a detailed state
ment. Rep Loebenstein refused, say
ing he was willing that the Attorney
General should be granted an extern
sion of time in answering the ques-
tons.
Rep. Atkinson arose to criticise the
taste of Rep. Lobenstein in PROFOUND
ing such question. He asked the
House to uphold him in condemning
the action.
Rep Loebenstein answered with a
great deal of fire, accusing Mr.. Akin
son of wandering about all the points
of the political compass-from a Royal
list to a Republic, then to an annexa-
zionist and tomorrow, back again to
Monarchist. He had brought in the
questions in good faith. They were
not his own but were handed him by
someone to present to the Attorney
General.
Rep. Atkinson answered that the
personal remarks Of Rep. LOebenstein
were in the same category as the ques-
tons just propounded and relating to
the expenses Of the President.
The Speaker ruled the questions
propounded were out of order Rep.
Loebenstein appealed from this deci-
sion and then withdrew his appeal,
stating that his intention in bringing
in the questions had been to air the
matter. He had succeeded in doing
that and would let the matter rest.

wharf were closed to all except those
having business. No one except a
representative of H. Hackfeld & Co..
was allowed aboard.

gic meeting of the Board Of Health
was held. 1t was learned there that,
shortly before arrival Of the Belgic in
Yokohama, Chinaman from Hongkong
was found to be afflicted with vario-
loid He was put ashore at the former
place and the steamer left for Homo
lulu. The cabin passengers were con-
fined to the upper decks and the strict
est kind of quarantine was observed.
No new cases developed on the voyage.
In consideration of these facts, the
cabin passengers passing through,
were allowed ashore with the under
standing that they refrain from going
to and from the ship until time OF
departure. The five cabin passengers
for this port were allowed ashore
with the understanding that they re-
port each day for eight consecutive
days for examination by physicians of
the Board of Health. The steerage
passengers were sent into quarantine.
On account of the large amount of
freight the Belgic had for this place
she did not get away until after 6

TO BUY THE TWO ISLANDS.
United States May Purchase 81
Thomas and St. CrOix.

ashington. Dec 25. - Immediately
upon the reassembling of congress Sena
tor Lodge of Massachusetts will make 8
vigorous effort to secure early actor
upon his scheme to secure Legislative au
thority for the purchase of the islands
of st. Thomas and st. Croix, which are
in the West Indies and belong to Den
mark.
A year ago the senate passed resolu-
ton requesting the state department to
ascertain whether the islands are in the
market, at what figure they were held
and whether any other country was after
them. The reply which was received has
not been made public in its entirety, but
it is known that the Danish government
intimated that the islands were for sale
and that there had been preliminary ne
gotiations to that end viii two European
governments. These are supposed to be
Great Britain and Germany. The figure
asked for the two islands by Denmark
has not been made public.
The text Of the reply has been transmit
ted by the state department to the senate
committee on foreign relations, but for
diploma tic reasons it has been held for the
present as confidential. Senator Lodge is
sanguine of securing an appropriation
that will enable the islands to be trans
ferred to the jurisdiction of the Stars and
Stripes

Cannot REMAIN INACTIVE
WHILE CHINA IS CUT UP
Europe Proposes to Form IL Gordon
of Offense Against American
COmmerce-SenatOr Morgan Does

New York, Dec. 29.-According TO
Washington correspondent of the Herald
Senator Morgan of Alabama, of the com
mittee on foreign elations has said that il
would be impossible for the United States
to remain complaisant should European
nations undertake the dismemberment OF
China. Senator Morgan said:
'If the partition involves the abroga
ton OF treaties this country would be left
to make terms with each European nation
separately in the territory to which its
sovereignty extended. Therefore. unless
the powers now ambitious for territorial
extension take into account our CONNER
cial relations with China. it will be neces-
saly for the government to intervene in
self-defense.
IF the cession is absolute, then Ameri-
can interests must be taken care of
through the treaties between America
and countries to which the cessions are
made respectively. If the territory is
given up merely for a time there will be
mixed responsibility, mad it is a good
time for intervention and the exercise of
American diplomacy
The German occupation of part of
China, and the prospective occupation of
other parts by various European nations,
is an etfcrt to complete a Gordon of Of
tense to American commerce from Nlad-
livestock to Marseilles or to Liverpool.
That Gordon is being stretched to contract
the trade of 6oo,ooo,ooo Of people who
have direct trade and intercourse with

San Francisco. Dec. 25. = News has
reached this city of the shooting in Guat-
emala of a number of political prisoners,
including two men who are known all
over the Central American republic. The
execution occurred last month at Hue
huetanga.
The principal victim was Captain Her
culano Ruiz, a brother-in law of General
Daniel Fuentes, now i'll this city An
other victim was the Honduranean col
onel, Francesca Zelaya. He was accused
of aiding the revolutionary party and was

HANNA's BIG FIGHT.
The Senatorial Contest Already
FAIRLY Begun.

Columbus, Ohio, Dee 29.-For the mex
three weeks and maybe more, the capita
OF Buckeyedom will be the political storm
center of the United States, and toward
it will be directed the eyes of people of al
political parties interested in one of the
greatest battle for United States senator
ship that Ohio has ever experienced.
Although the legislature does not meet
until next Monday and the balloting, un
der the law, cannot commence until an.
other week from that date, naerly every
member of both branches of the legisla-
ture is already on the ground, together
with two or three good sized regiments
of hustling politicians. OF these a good
majority are the adherents of the king OF
commerce, who last year astonished both
his own party and its opponents by PROV
ing himself one Of the most astute and
successful campaign managers that Amer
lean politics had ever known.
1t is the same irony of fate that many
great public men the world over have ex-
perienced at some period or other of their
careers that places Mark Hanna, who is
popularly designated as the ''man who
made president" in a position where he
has to make the fight of his life for an
honor of minor Importance than that for
which he battled for others, and which.
moreover, is to be bestowed, not by the
people of the nation, but simply by those
OF his own commonwealth. There is even
more irony in the fact that his battle is
not so much against tremendous odds,
but simply for the bare handful of votes
necessary to secure his return to the sen
ate for the full period of six years.
The senator himself is on the ground
and will probably remain here until the
issue has been decided. He has little to
say, for publication, however, save that
stands as the choice of the republicans
Of Ohio as declared by them in conven-
ton assembled at Toledo, and that his
has been endorsed by all ex-
cept four counties in the safe. For his
he has not hard word The
republican caucus will probably be held
toward the end of the week.

FORMS A COAL TRUST.
Mining Industry of the East to He
Brought Under One Control.

New York, Dec 25.-lt has developed
that the big coal selling combination of
the anthracite railroads whereby produc-
ton is to be doled out by a supreme
head. is only part of a vast project Cor
control of the entire coal industry in the
east.
J. Pierpont Morgan's plan involves the
creation of similar central selling agencies
to cover each of the great bituminous
coal districts of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois, and
a uniform working arrangement between
them that shall put stop to rate cuttin.
and Generalization of the trade. The
companies are to agree upon the proper

buying company is to call upon them ac-
cordingly as fast as it needs coal for the
market.
