In a garden faded, forlorn,

Was the last white butterfly born.
He sought a rose for his bride.
The last white rose dropped weak
Where the thorn writhed leafess and sad
He kissed her soft, faded cheek
And babe her love and be glad.
But the grief of the dying year
He drank with her scented breath,
And she knew as his wings drew near
That his kiss was the kiss of death.

Plotting Against Chicago Platform.

Ao''AAAS nSdl1lSt Au1CdSO TldtOfm,
The silver men of the west and
south should not close their eyes to
the fact that there is a so-called
conservative" element which did
not openly bolt the Chicago plat
form in 1896, but which gave it a
suspiciously lukewarm support.
The more or less excellent gentle
men composing this element gath
cred at Saratoga, N. Y, this week
and laid some great plans. Osten-
sibly they are against Bryan, but
as a cold matter of fact it is the
Chicago platform that worries
them. Mingling with the group
are the emissaries of Tammany,
William c. Whitney and the usual
gold democratic crowd, who un-
loaded themselves from the demo-
cratic wagon three years ago.
Among the conspicuous names of
those present at Saratoga may be
mentioned former national com
mitteeman w. F. Harrity of Penn
sylvania, a Cleveland democrat
who was summarily kicked off the
committee for refusing to support
the national ticket; Pres. O'Brien
Of the Southern Express Co.; E.
D. Kenna, vice-president of the
A%tchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad; Louis Lemp, the St.
Louis brewer, and a few other
worthless of equal lightness in par
ty councils.
Thus far not a democrat has
been discovered in the bunch who
could be elected as a delegate to a
county convention, but they are
putting up a front that they are
for Judge VanWycko of New York
as the democratic nominee for the
presidency. Judge VanWyck is
the very respectable Tammany
democrat who ran against Roose-
welt for governor of New York.
Just whom he is intended to mask,
however, is not discernable at this
time.
This Saratoga conference will
have one redeeming feature. 1t
will give the party a good chance
to put the branding iron on some
of the men who want to make the
party walk backwards on public
questions and who desire, if posi-
BILE, to secure the nomination Of
another Cleveland.

Washington, April 1.-The delegates
from the Cuban assembly, Messrs. Vii.
lalon and Heyia, called informally at
the state department yesterday, and
had long conversation with Secretary
Hay. The affairs in Cuba were freely
discussed, and the delegates presented
the resolutions of the Cuban assembly.
Secretary Hay assured the delegates
that the United States government
would not increase the amount of pay
Of the Cuban army above the $4,000, 600
already sent to Cuba. He said this mat
ter could not be further considered.
He also informed them that the pres,
ident would not consent to any scheme
for raising money by the Cuban as
sombly to pay the Cuban troops.
Later, the secretary mentioned the
call to President Mckinley, and the
president informed him that there
would be no other or further answer
to the delegation than had already
been given by the secretary.

VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS
Officers and Men VIII be Retained In
the neutrality-suspicious. Cases
of Exemption.

Washington, April lit was stated
az the war department yesterday that
tie provision of the army law allowing
the retention in service for six months
of the volunteers in the Philippines
had been construed tomean the officers
as we'll as the men and that the volun-
tceI organizations would be retained
just as they now exist.
Gen. Otis was given large plenary
powers in the matter, but was instruct
ed by cable to send all sick and wound
cd home, as we'll as volunteers who
bad exceptional reasons why they
should return home, such as the sup
Port of families and the loss of prop
ertv by reason of their absence.
The volunteers in the Philippines
will not be mustered out until they
ear be spared, and the presence there
of these organizations, the war depart,
ment believes, makes it unnecessary to
organize the provisional army of $4,000
allowed under the army law.
