A SPRING TRAGEDY.
The Poem That Mckinley Apologized
-[Cleyeland Leader,

The Poem That Mckinley Apoloeized
 for. The poem which aroused the ire of Emperor William was composed by Capt. Jack Myers, of the Olympia marines, and recited at private, banquet by Capt. Coghlan. As the poem has caused slight international unpleasantness, it becomes historical matter, and is thus given dignity which it's real worth as a literary pro- duction does not merit. Following is a copy of the poem:
 HocH DER KAISER. Der Kaiser fon das Faterland, Und Gott und all dings command; We two, ach, don't you understand?
 MEINSELF-und Gott. Vile some men sing der bower divine. Mein soldiers sing Die Yacht am Rhein," Uud drink der health in Rhenish wine

SHELTER SITUATION TODAY.

Denver, July d There is no
change in the smelter situation
here today. At seven O'Clock this

employees were gathered around
the gates of the smelter, but not
one man entered to take his place
at the furnaces. The men are
pleased that there were no deser-

that the smelters must abide by
the decision of the state board of
arbitration which they hope will
be favora BILE to them.
The smelter managers say they
will open the smelters with outside

be the policy of the university
