A ROMANCE OF
NEW YORK BAY.
BY LEOlJ LEWIS.
CHAPTER l.

The Lovers.
81 don't believe mimi II he lost all
his money with ours how can he live
in such grand style? To whom do his
ships and great house belong?"
ITO his nephew, Willie King"
Ruth contracted her brows in
thought.
why does Major Topp come here
SO much lately?" she asked
"He wants to marry me-" replied
Mrs. Lyman frankly. He has asked
me repeatedly"
The girl looked shocked.
rs that what he was here about
again yesterday"
"Yes, dear"
Just over in Brooklyn, on the old
shore road to Concy Island, stood the
beautiful cottage, half hidden among
evergreens and towering shrubs. |:
Here lived the Lymans.
Mother and daughter sat on the front
veranda one afternoon last June, both
looking sad and thoughtful.
You are thinking Of papa" the girl
had said few moments earlier.
Yes, Ruth. Where is he? At the
bottom of the ocean or on a desert ISL
and? Five years have passed since he
left us on that fatal voyage to China
My reason tells me that he is dead, but
my heart assures me he's living!"
Il believe he is, mamma! He may
return to us at any moment"
"Oh, how we need him!" sighed Mrs.
Lyman. What would be your fate il
anything were to happen to me?"
Are we poor, them"
so Major Topp says"
1t was then that Ruth Lyman had
broken forth with the impetuous words
Of disbelief.
The front gate swung on it's hinges
and boyish figure came up the walk.
ITS Willie, mamma-Willie King"
exclaimed Ruth, all smiles and bushes
He was lad of seventeen, an orphan,
the nephew and ward of Major Topp,
who had formerly been a partner Of
Ruth's long missing father.
He was the bearer of letter from
his uncle to Mrs. Lyman, and having
delivered it he strolled with Ruth down
to the cool shadows of a grove at the
foot of the garden.
Willie smiled.
do you see that brig down by the
wharf, all ready to start on her voy-
age?"
Ruth nodded.
That and another ship belong to
me" he continued. 81 have money in
bank, railroad stocks and farms out
on Long Island.
Il shall go to college soon, and by
and by when | have graduated l shall
settle down to some business and shall
want to be married. Will you be my
wife, Ruth?"
"Of course | will. But mother must
live with us, and Major Topp must let
us alone"
II don't like him any better than you
do, Ruth" he declared. Il believe he
would be glad If something were to
happen to me- You know he'd be the
sole heir of everything have if l were
to die. And, speaking of him, re-
minds me that he asked me to come
down to the brig as soon as | had de-
livered that letter. l must go now, but
you may expect me as soon as it's
dark"
The boy hurried on his mission, little
guessing in his lightness of heart the
treacherous net of Fate into which he
was running.
In the cabin of the brig in question
sat two persons. They were leaning

ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY.
Filipinos to Be Treated With Con-
sideration and Kindness.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The war depart
ment today received a dispatch from
General Otis commanding the United
States forces in the Philippines. 1t was
not important or definite as to the re-
suits, but asked for instructions on some
question in connection with the treatment
of the natives. 1t is supposed also that
the dispatch contained a full statement
of the events at IlOilc. reported in the
press dispatches, but its text was not
made public
The officials are anxious that the ma
tives of the Philippines should learn as
soon as possible the true attitude of the
United States government with respect
to them-that of friendship and considera-
ton, entirely with a view to the better
ment of rule. 1t is realized here that the
islanders are naturally suspicious re-
garding the entrance into their country
and dominion over them of a foreign peO-
pie, and are anxious TO know their inten-
tons. They are to be given to under
stand. said an official of the administra-
ton tonight. that the authority of the
United States is to be asserted over them,
but at the same time General Otis in
structionS are to treat them with con-
SideratiOn and kindness.

THE IDAHO LEGISLATIVE FIGHT
PoPULISTS TRYING TO HOLD UP
BOTH PARTIES.
Hold the Balance of Power In the
Senate and Demand Patronage For
Their Votes.
Especial to The Herald. }

Boise. Ida. Jan. 1.-The Idaho legisIa-
ture will meet tomorrow at noon, but it is
not expected an organization will be per-
fected until Tuesday, owing TO the failure
to get the silver parties together. The
PopuliStS, with two members, hold the
balance of power in the senate and they
are using it to force recognition for their
party in the house They want half of
the executive patronage and some OF the
patronage of the incoming state admins
tration the election of which PopuliStS
fought even more bitterly than did the
Republicans.
The Republicans have made strenuous
efforts to get the PopullStS or dlSaffected
Democrats or silver Republicans to go in
with them in this and organize the SEN
ate The Republicans need but two
votes to get this. The Democrats and
silver Republicans are now tied up by
caucus rule and it rs understood. al
though one PopTlist, Carey of Blaine
county has Signfied his willingness TO
go in with the Republicans if the Populist
demands with reference to the house are
not complied with, the other Populist SEN
a5or. taston of Shoshone county, has de-
clined. 1t is said tonight there is no hope
of the Republicans organizing the senate.
If the Populists hold out the organiza-
ton of the legislature can be delayed for
several days.
There is a big row over the action of
State Auditor-elect Bartlett Sinclair re-
