 on This Continent.

New York, September 22.-Major General Roe Who will command the national guard of New York state in the Dewey parade, received telegram from Governor Roose- Welt today directing him to give the Grand Army of the Republic the choice of any place in the parade.

McIiinleY's Ambition

Everyone knows that the greatest am biron of Mckinley Is to lay down the law for the whole of America. Whatever the truth may be about this rumor, we do not approve of the presidents trip-not because we fear that we have been caught in the meshes of the Yankee astuteness, but be- cause of vaunted intimacy of relations with the northern republic, eff which so much Is made, will have no other result than to render American influence in Mexico more predominant, and, considering the crooked aims of our neighbors, their unsuitable greed for new territory and their domineer- ing aspirations, that influence cannot be beneficial to us in any manner in the long run
 This is a fair sample of the comments of the clerical press, which finds credulou5 people ready to believe such talk.

lack of funds, the committee authorize him to announce that no more organization would be accepted. A motion to that ef- feet was made and adopted. The commit tee then adjourned.
 General Albert D. Shaw, commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic parade, issued a statement in which he mentions the fact that the Grand Army of the Republic had the right of line in the Jubilee parade at Chicago and the parade at Pittsburg on the return of the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment, and continues
 General shaw's Statement
 "I could not but feel that our comrades of New York, representative of the great est state in the union, which sent more men than any other state to preserve the nation from ruin, were as richly entitled to head the line of the Dewey parade as was the comrades of Pennsylvania to lead similar civil pageant in honor of our Span- ish-American war heroes, and felt when I l made the plea that the precedent by the state of Pennsylvania in having the Veter- ans lead in line, President Mckinley and the governor of the state following, was one that might be followed without any loss of dignity to those controlling tn Dewey parade in New York.
 'I wish to add that my only desire h heen to stand for the honor and dignity the G. A. R., and l know l shall not blamed by fair-mnded and patriotic U' zens for doing my duty in this respect as l understand it.
 Compliments Roosevelt
 "It gives me the greatest pleasure to eS- tend to Governor Roosevelt, as commander in-ehief of 950,0 veterans of the G. A. h., my warm congratulations on the Just aiii patriotic stand he has taken in behalf or the ageng veterans of the nation in using his influence to prevent their just rlghl being ignored that they lead the parade i'll the city of New York in honor Of the great Admiral Dewey, thus assuring to our new est veterans that when they grow old, in their turn they shall not be the tall of any public procession.
 AS Commander Kay says in his letter to General Roe: In their own time and in their own way the G. A. R., as representa- tives of the veterans of the civil war, will render the homage that they feel for their comrade and great admiral, George Dewey" <"

Like Spoiled Children

since their triumph over the Spaniards the Americans have become like spoiled children who want to be humored in their smallest caprice. It appears that they are going to be humored in the matter of the journey of our supreme magistrate. There is a we'll defined rumor that the real object which the Yankees are pursuing in arrang- ing this trip of President Diaz is 10 in- duce him to abandon the presidency of the republic. This rumor may be true or not, but absurd as 1t may seem, there is some probability in it, seeing that those people want to interefere in everything, especially in the political affairs of the countries of this continent.

Peculiarly Rorscveitian

"It is peculiarly Rooseveltian. It is most impudent. unjustih and unwarranted in- terference in matter that is without his province. I do not believe, however, that cur committee will take any notice of it'
 General Roe declined to discuss the ae- ton of Governor Roosevelt in advance of the action of the plan and scope committee.
 It is said that Governor Roosevelt sent his telegrams under misapprehenson. General Roe is not acting in his capacity as major general commanding the state militia, but was chairman of the sub-eon- mttee on land parade of the Dewey cele- bration committee of this city.
 At todays meeting Of the plan and scope committee General Roe made the following statement:

Chattanooga, Tenn, September 22.-Julia Morrison, leading lady of the MT Plas- ter of Paris farce comedy company shot and killed Frank Leyden, stage manager and leading man of the company at o'clock tonight at the city opera house on the stage, just before the curtain rose for the performance to begin.
 Three shots were fired at close range by the woman, all taking effect in Leydents abdomen. He sank to the floor and was dead in a few minutes. The woman was arrested and taken to the city jail.
 A coroner's inquest was held, at which it was developed that trouble had existed be- tween Leyden and Miss Morrison, and to- day she slapped Leyden It appears that they quarreled over the Womans alleged bad acting, Leyden accusing her of being but an amateur

The woman claims that Leyden repeat edly insulted her; that he had made inn proper proposals to her. and in self-aefense she shot him. The verdict of the jury was to the effect that the murder was premed- itated and wholly unjustifiab ble. The wo- man claims to be from New Orleans and a man with the company named James she claims as her husband.
 James has been arrested as the instigator os the crime. The sympathes of the entire company are with the murdered man. They claim that the killing was wholly unjusti- fable, and that the woman is an amateur, and got into the company by misrepresenta- ton.
 The company has been on the road three weeks and has been unusually successful.

What "Tiempo" Says

"The ostensble occasion of this trip is extremely frivolous. It is the laying of the corner stone of a building at Chicago, which, to tell the truth, is by no means u sufficient reason for taking the chief magistrate of the nation from his pre'ont duties by constraning him to absent him. selt for longer or shorter period of tine. Supposing the occasion was the celebration of historical event. such as the discovery of America, or some solemn ceremony, such as the inauguration of the interna- tional exposition, there would be more ground for the invitation. but to invite General Diaz simply that he may be pres ent at the laying of a corner stone of a building in second-rate city In the United States seems to be neither we'll judged or polite

Green Book Issued

A green book has been issued containing the report of State Attorney Shuts to the government on the pour parlors between himself and the British diplomatic agent. Conyngham Greene, leading to the con- ditonal five years franchise proposal Mr. Shuts asserts that the proposal was the result of a private discussion, and an arr rangement that both governments should informally decide about the offer and it's acceptance before the offer should be formally submitted.
 He also contends that the exact draft of the offer was wired to the British high commissioner, Sir Alfred Milner, and that the imperial government sent a dispatch to MT. Greene, which the latter interpreted an acceptance of the offer.

"At later interview between the com mander-in-chief of the G. A. R., the state commander, Colonel Goulden, and myself, practically d demand was made that the Grand Army should have the right of the line at the head of the column, Colonel Goulden stating that at a meeting held the day before it was the sentiment of the G. A. R., if they could not have the lead they would not parade. I called their at- tention to the fact that it was not Grand Army affair; that it was a city affair." and that that position was not their proper one, and said:
 Positively and absolutely the Grand Army cannot have the head of the coumn,' whereupon they retired. At another inter- view the eommander-in-chef, with the state commander present, stated that he thought General Howard should not com mand the Grand Army.

Outside,

Fate delights in still contrasting
All that comes to mortals here;
Some may feast. The rest are fasting
For each smile there is tear.
There are shine and holly berry.
There is hunger's tattered cloak.
There is Christmas when you're merry
And there's Christmas when you're broke
When the music. softly playing,
Seems less tenderly to fall
Than the laughter that comes straying
Through the nursery and the hall,
Who shall think that some poor fellow
On the pavement stands afar,
Watching every CLEAN mellow
Through your window blind ajar?
When all care is shut behind us
And when love dispels each sigh,
Let some gentle thought remind US
OF the lonely passer-by -
Life to some though pleasant, very,
Isn't all a gladstone joke.
There is Christmas when you're merry
And there's Christmas when you're broke
