Mixed Emotions

To illustrate the feeling of Ireland toward

lately been touring tells the story of an old
waiter in Dublin hotel. When are you
going to get home rule in Ireland, John!''
was the question. See ye here, sorr," said
the old man, 1.-The only way We'll get home
rule for ould ireland viii be if France-an'
Russia-an' Germany-an Australian
maybe Italy-if they would all join together
good hiding. That's the only way Wen get
home rule, anyway" Then, as he looked
cautiously around, twinkle of cunning and
a smile of courtesy were added to the ex-
preston. "And the whole lot of 'em showed
together couldn't do it, he said. "Oh-it's

DEPENDS WORK IN CUBA.
I'm Spite of Frauds, Senator spOoner says
Life, Honor and Virtue Are Secure
In the Island.

Washington, May 25.-Senators
Spooner, of Wisconsin, and Hale, of
Maine, had a debate in the senate
over our colonies. Hale said in view of
the postal frauds it would have been
much better for this government to
abandon Cuba. He favored with
drawing at once. Frauds always fol-
lowed a colonial system of govern
ment and he had voted against the
peace treaty for this reason. Spooner
asked whether he had any suspicion
that we did not intend to withdraw
from Cuba as soon as we could do so
honorably. When Hale said he had,
Spooner said if he believed that, he
would be ashamed of his government.
He continued:
We have given the best government to
the people of Cuba thus far they have
ever had. Every mans life is safe in
Cuba; every woman's honor is safe in
Cuba. Death and tyranny and starvation
have gone forever out of Cuba. OF
course. there has been peculation in Gu
ba. Everyone is ashamed of it. But in
no government ever instituted has that
not occurred.

THREATEN THE EXPOSITION.
Union Labor in st. Louis VIII Urge Cone
gressmen TO Oppose Worlds FAIR APP
propyiatiOn Until Strike Is Settled.

ST. Louis, May 25.-Yesterday was
the seventeenth day of the strike inau-
gurated by the employees of the St.
Louis Transit company and settle
ment seems further away than ever,
neither side to the controversy seem
ing willing to advance any PROPOSE
ton to end it. Non-union men con-
tinue to come in from other cities
and as fast as they arrive the Transit
company put them to work.
Union labor has brought the worlds
fair question into the strike contro-
versy. At a mass meeting held last
night a resolution was passed to the
effect that all union labor throughout
the United States be asked to instruct
their representatives to oppose the
passage of the worlds fair appropria-
ton bill unless the st. Louis Transit
company settles the strike satisfac-
torily to its former employees. The
resolution has been wired to David B.
Henderson, speaker of the house of
representatives.

NIBBLED AT POKER CHIPS.
Joke of a Philadelphia Merchant at
the Expense OF Sportive
Employees.

Business sometimes drags during the aft
ernoons down among the Water street
wholesale houses, and on the principle that
when the cats away the mice will play the
clerks often amuse themselves with quiet
little poker games, says the Philadelphia
Record. The proprietor of tea and coffee
warehouse left the other day about three
O'Clock. But he changed his mind about
two hours later, and discovered four of his
trusted employees engaged in a game of poker.
They were caught dead to rights, and there
was nothing to do but bluff It out There
wasn't anything going on" explained the
banker, $50 we thought we would try a little
poker-just for fun, you know
AS matter of fact, they were playing a
25-cent limit game, and in lieu of chips grains
of raw coffee represented five cents each and
roasted coffee grains were 25 cents. I'll
just sit and watch you for awhile said the
merchant, who is something of a sport him
self. He pulled chair alongside the fellow
who had the most coffee in front of him,
and the game proceeded. At intervals he
would reach over, pick up a couple of roast
ed grains and chew them, meditatively. At
he end of a half hour he had eaten So. "a
worth of coffee, and the erstwhile winner
could make no protest. When he finally
left the store there was twinkle in his eye.
The banker hasn't succeeded in getting his
affairs Strengthened out yet.

THE END SEEMS NEAR.
London Puts Date of the Occupation of
Pretoria at June 15-JOhannes-
burg in q Week.

London, May 26.-The retreat of
Botha's forces from the Rhenoster to
the Vaal serves to convince military
men that the end of the war is rap
idly drawing near. The date of the
occupation of Pretoria which is usu-
ally named among officials is June IS.
1t is assumed by them that there will
be no delay either in the passage of
the Vaal or in the occupation of Jo-
hannesburg, since Gen. Roberts. with
his superiority of numbers and his
strength of mounted force, can turn
the Beers out of every defensive po-
sitiOn which they may attempt to
hold. They expect to see the British
flag flying over Johannesburg by the
end of another week and Pretoria I'M
der siege early in June.

bill to the house without recon-

ent session, which was defeated, to

then moved to report the bill favor
ably, which was lost on tie vote, 3
to 3. In view of the tie motion pre-
vailed to report the bill without rec
ommendation in order that the house
may act finally on the subject. The
bill as perfected pledges the govern
ment to an appropriation of $5,OOO,-
600 and allows the government pro-
Portionate share of the proceeds of
the enterprise.

Sanitary Boards Meet at Kansas City and

Kansas City, Mo-, May 25.-Repre-
sentatives of the sanitary boards of
Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Texas
met here and adopted resolutions for
the purpose of obtaining uniform
system Of inspection for tuberculosis
in cattle in the different states of the
union. The four states named and
many eastern states now have laws
for the inspection of dairy and breed
ing cattle. The resolutions adopted
were to the effect that cattle sold in
states where there exist no regulations
on tuberculosis inspection should be
held in quarantine and inspected be-
fore being shipped to states armed
with an inspection law. It is thought
that this action will force all the
states to adopt measures for inspec-
ton against tuberculosis.

Francis, feel greatly discouraged over
the action of the house special com
mittee in reporting the bill to APP
propriate $5,OOO,OOO for the exposition
without recommendation, and it is
generally believed that the end of the
project is in sight. The republican
leaders are not in favor of increasing
the appropriations, which have al
ready swelled into an enormous to-
tai, and, while the proposition might
stand some show at the short ses-
sion, it is morally certain to go over
without action at this session.
