is of considerable length. Here are some
extracts from it:
Take up the white mans burden
Send forth the best we breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve Xollr cantiues' need.
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild
Your neW-caught sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.

Take up the white mans burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
The ports We shall not enter,
The road We shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
By all We will or whisper,
By all We leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.

The Sampson-Schley controversy is to be
transferred to the Court of Claims. Some
of the sailors of the fleet want their "head
money" How much they are entitled to
depends upon whether or not the New
York, with Admiral Sampson on board,
was in the fight. With the New York and
Sampson ont of It. and the land
batteries taken into consideration,
The American forces were not as
large as the Spanish Under such
circumstances the victorious fleet
would be entitled to 500 per head for every
man on the Spanish ships With the New
York out of it. too. there would be fewer
men TO participate in the division, hence
individual shares would be larger. II is
understood that test case will come be-
fore the Court of Appeals shortly, and that
voiuminous testimony will be taken to
show that the New York was not in the
fight and is therefore not entitled to any
part of the prize money; and as a matter
of course there win be quite as much testi-
nony on the other side. Thus il Is ex-
pected that a judicial opinion as to who
was the hero of Santiago viii be secured.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Good Lord, deliver usr' Is the frame of

the New York brokers to buy and sell
stocks The American says: I'VE do
not mean TO say there is no use of stock
exchanges and brokers. They are both
very necessary and very legitimate insti-
buttons. and both have an honorable field
of operation. What We object to is the
speculation, the gambling, for it is moth
ing else which attends them. 1t is hol-
low mockery, a delusion and a snare, and
we sincerely hope and pray Nashville will
not become afflicted with it.

New York.-(Special.)-A Washing
ton dispatch to the Journal says: Cen
eral Otis Is expected to effect the cap
ture of Aguinaldo within week As a
result of the situation It was decided by
the president and his official advisers
to cease American military operations
on the island of Panay with the occu-
patton of Iloilo. 1t is believed that
IL Aguinaldo is captured, or his army
on Lagoon destroyed and he fees, the
rebellion will be at an end.
One OF the cabinet officers said after
themeeting that an aggressive cam
paign against Aguinaldo was necessary
for the reason that the American army
must be relieved of the constant and
wearisome guarding against surprises
by rowing bands of guerrillas and be-
cause such warfare would be kept up
as long as Aguinaldo remained at large.
Instructions were sent to General
Otis to advise General Miller to sus-
pend operations on the island of Pa

Regarding Extra Session.

Washington. d. C.-(Special. 1.-THE
president has conveyed assurance to
some of the party leaders in congress
in addition to those given last week,
that he will certainly call congress to-
gether in extra session IL II fails to pass
the army reorganization bill at the
present session. In answer to repeated
inquiries the administration has been
obliged to decline all propositions look
ing to the tiding over Of the needs of
the army by passing a joint resolu-
ton, simply extending the appropria-
tons on the basis of the present or
ganization, holding that this action
would be utterly inadequate to meet the
situation The volunteers, It Is said
are extremely unsatisfactory, and there
would be absolutely no assurance that
the president could retain them in the
service even when the emergency is
great. The same statement would ap-
ply to the regular army soldiers who
enlisted for the war.
A very serious objection to the Joint
resolution program, too would be its
failure to supply the staff and line Off
GERS absolutely needed These officials
say that the pending HUI bill provides
for just s22 original appointments of
second lieutenants, and it is declared
to be the policy of the administration
to divide these places among the states
and territories on the basis of their
population.
