1t is interesting to read that the
hght-draught gunboat Wilmington is
TO make an extended cruise through
the interior of South America, using
the three great river channels, the
Orinoco, Amazon and La Plata. This
is the purpose for which the Whining
ton aud her sister gunboats were
built, though they were diverted from
it by the needs of the war.
1t Is significant that Americans
should have joined with British, Ger
man and japanese merchants in for
warding to Pekin, through their re-
spective consuls, protest against the
the extension of the French area of
exclusive control in Shanghai. 1t
looks almost like spontaneous falling
into line for the protection of COM
mon trade interests, and is co-opera-
ton. though on small scale, similar
in character to that foreshadowed by
the better understanding between
these four nations as to the trade of
the East, says the New York Com
mercial Advert ser.

And again. "as nation it possesses
every sovereign power not reserved in
its constitution to the states or to the
people. The right to acquire territory
was not reserved and is therefore an
inherent sovereign right. In thu right
to acquire territory is found the right to
govern it and as the right to acquire is
a sovereign, inherent right. the right to
govern is a sovereign right not limited

When the senator from Connecticut un-

we may do such things not for the per-
feet union, the common defense, the gen
eral welfare of the people of the United
States, or the securing of liberty to our
selves and our children, but for any
fancied or real obligation to take care Of
distant peoples beyond our boundaries,

London. Jan. lO.-The Paris corre-
spondent Of The Times says: OF all the
scandal produced by the Dreyfus affair
that of the resignation Of Quesnay de

What is beyond doubt is that the Ma

man whose name was imposing or whose
ability was dangerous, now appear to
have found chief, although his aim is
still far from clear. With de Beaure-
paire leading the Nationalists and anti
Semites. Paul Deroulede leading the
League Of Patriots. and Godfrey Cav
aignac at the head of the Patrie Fran
caise. the republic, if it escapes, will
have a hard time.
The Paris correspondent of The Daily
Mail says: Revelations Of various
kinds tend to show that the members
of the court of cessation are themselves
divided into two fiercely opposed camps
of Dreyfusards and ti-Dryfusards.

probably lead to the fall Of the cabinet.

Washington. Jan. 10 - The great
speech Of Senator Hoar of Nassachu-
setts was the event of the day in Wash

of the venerable, white-haired senator

the country in opposition to the policy
of the party with which he has all his life
been identified.

The Yukon River.
1.-THE River Trip to the Klondike"
is the title of an article in The Cen

Webb says:
The mouth of the Yukon is about
100 miles broad-that is, from one
side to the other side-but there is
nothing to suggest river about
it - nothing but small streams,
sloughs, islands innumerable and
disconcerting. II is like being
brought face to face with hundred
gates, only one of which opens the
way which you are seeking, while
the others lead to destruction. This
is the difficulty in navigation at the
starting point and the sort of thing
encountered all the way to Circle
City. 1t is touch and 60, or touch
and not go, and you may get through
or may stick on a bar and not bulge
an inch for many weary days or
weeks. Eighteen hundred and fifty
miles of river are before you on
your way up to Dawson, and it
takes about Is daysif you meet with
no accidents-days of vast, wonder
full and ever changing scenery,
nights of silent grandeur, when you
seem to be all alone, surrounded by

THE TABLE SET FOR TWO.
Tbs sunshine falls on the window si,

Tbs sunshine falls on the window sill.
And the day looks in at the open door,
The kettle sings, and the dear old wife
Goes back and forth DER the kitchen floor
With plate and platter and fork and spoon,
As every day she is wont to do,
Anl she lays them with a quiet grace
On the homely table set for two.
Oh, the bread is like the seas white spray,
And the cloth is clean as mountain SHOWS.
From the pantry shelf to the kitchen stove
The dear old wife on her errands goes,
The morning glories over the porch
All in a riotous tangle run,
The cat lies curled asleep on a chair,
The old dog blinks at the MONDAY sun.
But the dear old wife is sad today,
And the morning hours have seemed 80 long,
For her thoughts are Of the long ago,
When the old house rang with mirth and song
When the red checked boys and merry girls
Came trooping in through the open door.
Som wander now meath an alien sky,
And some will come back no moreno more.
There are empty chairs against the wall,
And the wide old rooms are strangely still.
The day is sad, though the sunshine falls
Like sifted gold on the window sill,
And the dear old wife in her quiet way
Does the homely tasks she is wont to do,
But the tears fall fast as she sadly thinks
OF the lonesome table set for two.
