yer in the city. ..

A SONG AT THE START

BY Edward Markham. ~
oh, down the quick river our galley is go-
ing,
With a sound in the cordage, abeam on
the SAIL
The wind of the canyon our loose hair is
blowing
And the clouds of the morning are glad
of the gale.
Around the swift PROV little pillows are
breaking,
And fiinging their foam in a glory of
light
Now the shade of rock ON the river is
shaking,
And a wave leaps high up, growing sud>
denly white.
=.
The weight of the whole world is light as
a feather,
And the peaks rise in silence and westerly
flee;
oh, the world and the poet are singing to-
gether,
And from the far cliff comes a sound Of
the sea. ,,,,..

AguinaIdo Sends a Representative.

The coming of Senior Antonio Regidor ITO
Washington as the representative of Ciu-
zen Aguinaldo is an interesting, and it may
prove an important, event. He will present
at any rate new terms, and it is not beyond
the bounds of probability that peace may
be brought about through him. 1t is stated
that Senior Regidor has more power than
Agoncillo ever possessed, and If the admin
istration desires to put an end to the Phil
ippine struggle it can be done through Reg
idor, who is a man of learning and expert
ence.
In substance, Senior Regidor desires a
protectcrate He desires a recognition of
the Filipino government, and he further de-
sires it under the protection of the United
States. Outside of recognition the United
States. can name its own terms. Senior
Regidor offers to build the new republic ON
American lines to introduce an American
ollce system, to put American officials in
{ ile custom houses and in all internal
H-,-5.nches of the government, to set apart
military reservations for the United States
on all the larger islands of the group, to
grant coaling stations without limit, an
Guiding the city of Manila, to establish re-
ligious liberty and to grant absolute free
trade between the United States and the
= philippine islands.
The Regldor programme is certainly very
liberal. 1t grants all the United States

GEN. WHEELER sMoTHERED
rom the Eufaula Times.

From the Eufaula Times
The government seems to be pursuing the
same policy toward General Wheeler that
it has so successfully adopted in the case
of the gallant and popular Lee. Wheeler
has become entirely too popular. The eyes
of the people were turned in his direction
entirely too much. So he has to be syste-
matically "smothered." He will be heard
from occasionally in a casual sort of a
way, but he will be allowed to do nothing
important CIR brilliant. In six months he
will only be memory, if he remains under
the iron hand of the brutal Otis. The
method is slow but effective. s4-.
