When the spirit worn and weary
With lite's daily load of care,
Finds the path way long and dreary,
And the burden hard to bear
Tired of hoping, faint with fearing,
Signs co res at Heavens gete-
Then IN touea 8 Eeec, soft, yet cheering,
Periance whispers: "Oaly waItl"
For a brighter day Is dawnIngl
Sunlight beameth with the morn
Gladness cometh with the morn
Only wait!
o., sad hearts whose soundless sor
row
Dares not let 9 murmur fall,
Olty wait and trust q morrow;
Gods great heart beats over all.
Onlv wRiG. oh. wounded spirit,
By lfe's heavy cross weigh d DO |n
Thou shalt surely Heaven lnherlt-
Bear tae Cross aud win the Crown

In the beauty o the morning
In the glory of the morning
Only wait!

Smithfield Herald, (Dem): We no
tice that the question of devising some
way to limit the suffrage of the negro
is extensively discussed these day. The
recent experience of the people OF
North Carolina teaches them that in
the unlimited and unrestricted right
of suffrage exercised by the negro is a
grave danger residing to some day
threaten and destroy.
How 30 restrict it is not a problem
for Democrats only to decide, but a
serious question that appeals to every
individual of the width az It is
more humane to prevent a domination
by the negro by this g of restrict
ing his suffrage than by the deadly
Winchester.

CAUSES OF FRICTION.
Future OF tho Anglo American Commits
sion Discussed.

London, May 2T.-The morning papers
prominently discuss the future of the
Anglo American commission with an ap-
parent desire to satisfy both Canada and
the United States. though strongly disin-
clined to give the colony any lack of NOR
al support
The Daily Chronicle says: 1.-THE whole
boundary dispute is small but there is
much reason to fear that the lumber quar-
rel, the other cause of friction, has pro-
duced needlessy hostile temper between
Canada and Washington.
Both sides appear to be thinking of
perpetual retaliations and reprisals.
Such state of things is full of evil. AS
the committee affords an opportunity to
give and take, it is urged that settle
ment should be achieved. Should this
fail and should the Nicaraguan arrange
ments also fail, very unpleasant reac-
tion might ensue. A return to any I'M
friendly temper between the two branches
of the Anglo Saxon race would be a dis
aster to everyone. and above all to Canada
herself"
The Daily Mail says: "It is obviously
unfair for the United States to expect the
British empire to do all the giving and
America do all the taking. That is form
of diplomacy to which we are painfully
accustomed in our dealings with certain
power in the Far East.
what America seeks is an annulment
OF the Clayton -Bulwer treaty. and Canada
presses for a decision regarding the Alas
kan frontier. which is of vital interest to
her. If arbitration can anywhere be en-
ployed here is the place, and no opposition
to it would come from Great Britain or
Canada. for we are confident of the JUS
tice of our claims"

1.-THE AMERICAN WOMAN"
The Subject of an Address Made by Mrs.
w. j. Bryan.

Jacksonville, H.. May 26.-Mrs. William
j. Bryan. herself a graduate of the acad-
emy for young women in this city. made
the chief address to a graduating class
to-day. Mrs. Bryan spoke on THE Amer
lean Woman She said among other
things:
'The American woman should be suffi-
GENTLY Independent to study her own sur
roundings, choose her own course and live
the life which is best for herself and
those nearest her without regard to the
opinions of the outer world.
while we hear a great deal these days
about equality, the real permanent ad-
vancement of woman depends on her own
individual development. When man finds
in woman thorough appreciation of his
work and aims; when the mind of woman
becomes the perfect supplement and COM
plement of the mind of man. which the
Creator intended it to be, then will all
the discussions as to the rights and privi-
leges cease. Woman has long been a rec
ognized power in the spiritual world. and
when one looks into church in any part
Of our land and sees how much of the
work is done by woman, it seems almost
superf1uous to say that the ideal Of Amer
ican womanhood is attained under a
three-fold development of the physical
the mental and the spiritual

CUBAN SHIPPING,
Report of the Amount Tied Up Has Been
Greatly Exaggerated.

"As GAaSSShhtSA-
Washington, May 26.-The question
or cuban shipping was again brought
up at the cabinet meeting by Secretary
Gage, who furnished some data show
ing that the amount of shipping tied up
because 1t has no flag to sail under has
been greatly exaggerated
1t was reported that the shipping was
valued at $600O,0O0 but it turns out
that there are only six or seven vessels
These vessels could sail under the
American flag if they were owned by
American citizens. The question with
the data furnished by the treasury de-
partment was turned over to the attor-
ney general and Secretary Hay for ex-
animation and report.
Postmaster General Smith brought
up the question of the franking priv:l-
ege in Cuba and Porto Rico Under the
old Spanish law many municipal and
local officials were entitled to the
franlting privilege and have been al
lowed to exercise it since We assumed
control.
The postmaster general read a letter
from Major Rathbone who is at the
head of the postal affairs of Cuba, say
ing that the number of persons exer-
cisins this privilege now was excessive,
and the question arose as to whether it
would not be wise to cut the privilege
off altogether. 1t is largely question
of policy and Postmaster General Smith
will ascertain exactly to what extent
the privilege is exercised and report to
the cabinet before final action is de-
termined.
The postmaster general has de-
cided ito send a special agent to Lake
City, S. c., for the purpose of eXamin-
ing the situation with view to deter
mining whether or not postoftice shall
be re-esta b1ished there.

HIGH WATER MARK.
Arbitration Placed in a Practicable and
Acceptable Form.

Acceptable Form.
London, May 21.-The correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at The Hague
says:
, Peace prospects touched high water
mark to-day when the conference found
itself face to face with arbitration in a
practicable and acceptable form and as
a permanent international achievement.
This honor is mainly due to Sir Julian
Pauncefote. When the members of the
arbitration section had finished reading
the Russian proposals on this subject,
Sir Julian expressed his complete ap-
proval of them, but said it would be Il
great pity if the conference failed to
embody the principle of arbitration in
some permanent stage.
ct now beg To propose he said, the
formal establishment of permanent
arbitrat ation tribunal empowered to deal
with all matters in dispute capable of
reference to the Judgment of an UNI
pire I do not intend to trouble you
with details as to its mechanism to-day,
nor until you accept the principle of my
proposal. Therefore I ask you to aC-
cept the principle
M. De Staal at once declared: Sir
Julian Paunecfote having presented his
PROPOSAL. we are prepared to supple
ment and to complete the printed sug-
gestions just distributed by others deal
ing with a permanent arbitration
board
"Thereupon the Russian president of
the conference drew a paper from his
pocket and laid it upon the table then
and there The paper contained a fOun-
dation of a permanent tribunal sug-
gesting the substitution of a new clause
and referring to an appendix not yet

ON MANHATTAN FIELD.


annual MeeLlng OF the intercollegiate
Amateur Athletic Association.
New York May 26-The oath annual
athletic meeting under the auspices of
the intercollegiate Amateur Athletic
association to determine the intercol-
legiate championship at field and track
events began this afternoon on Man
haitian field, where it will be concluded
tomorrow, the trials having taken up
the time to-day.
One worlds record was smashed
This was on the running broad jump,
and A. Kranzenlien of Pennsylvania.
who had acquitted himself cleverly
earlier in the afternoon by winning his
high and low hurdle trials, was the one
who did the trick. On his first jump
the Pennsylvania covered % feet 1Oh
inches, but eclipsed his own world s
record of "a feet 81. inches on his Sec
ond attempt, covering "a feet Az
inches
There was some doubt as to whether
his jump was worlds record, but
Father Bill' Curtis dispelled this by
asserting that Newburn's jump of "a
feet 6& inches, made at Mullingar Ire
land, was not accepted by the Irish or
English associations. Pennsylvania has
certainly the best chance for the hon
ors. and except something happens to
disable her representatives. the inter-
collegiate trophy will remain in the
University of Pennsylvania for another
wear.

McGovern Defeated Kelly in Less Than
Five Rounds.
New York, May 26.-Terry McGovern of
Brooklyn defeated Sammy Kelly in less
than five rounds at the Broadway Ath-
letic club tonight.
In the opening round McGovern pun
ished his opponent on the body very Sc
verely. McGovern came up like a bulldog
in the second round and forced Kelly into
the latter's corner. sending right and left
to the head. wind and ribs. Kelly. in an
endeavor to break ground. slipped to the
floor and McGovern helped him to his
feet
In the third round McGovern began
bearing in and sending his rip-hammer
right hard and fast to Kel1y's ribs. Dur
ing the fourth McGovern kept on fore

In the fifth round McGovern was the
aggressor and got Kelly into a neutral

Tell backward, his head striking the floor
heavily. McGovern danced around his

counting 10 seconds. Kelly. who was not
unconscious, tried hard to get up but it
was to no purpose and he was counted
out.

ed around Sir Julian, congratulating
aim upon having played the winning
card which had so quickly precipitated
the Russian alternative scheme Some
stood aghast, as the matter was not
contemplated in their instructions. FL
nally it was decided to refer the mat
ter to a sub committee.
THE Americans. it is believed, are
celebrating an organic statute for the
erection of permanent tribunal, which
will probably be laid before the confer
ence and be supported by the British
delegates when the principle embodied
in Sir Julians resolution is accepted"

the session was suspended. After its
resumption there was a repetition of
the scenes before witnessed.
Signor Ferri, socialist. accused Cen
eral Barratieri, who commanded the
Italian force in Erythrea, of fleeing and
leaving his troops in the lurch. Ferri
refused to withdraw his accusat ton and,
in the midst of indescribable uproar,
the house adjourned.
The rout in Erythrea refers to the de-
feat of the Italian army commanded by
General Barratieri at Adowa, the Ital-
ian East African colony, In March, 1896.

A Scheme for Arbitration and Media
ton Prepared-A Permanent Tribu-

ance Of the Principle.

The Hague, May 26-It can now be
stated with degree Of confidence that
the delegates to the peace conference
are gradually arriving at the belief
that it's outcome will be very much
what Andrew d. White, United States
ambassador at Berlin and head of the
American delegation here, forecasted to
the correspondent Of the associated
press in the interview cabled to the
United States last Monday. So far
as arguments are concerned the ut
most that is expected to be accom-
plished is some slight recommended
tions to the governments participant
ing.
The various committees have now
settled down to work and the dele
gates have begun formal ex-
change of views. 1t was decided to-
day to appoint committees to receive
all suggestions, proposals and petitions
emanatins from outsiders; but so far
as is yet ascertained. these will be
pigeonholed without consideration un-

A CLOSE CALL.
A Serious Accident Narrowly Averted on
the Southern Pacific.

Oregon City, Ore, May pa serious
accident was narrowly averted tonight
on the Southern Pacific near this city.
The south bound California express
train ran into the rear section of a
freight train on a trestle near here and
demolished the caboose and three
freight cars.
The freight engine was unable to pull
the train up the grade and left one sec
tion behind. Before the engine re-
turned the freight cars started down
grade and collided with the passenger
train, the engine of which was slightly
damaged No one was hurt
