The youngest at the feast seemed TO

and sang it in the best manner, greatly
to the delight of the old soldiers by whom
he was surrounded. As HamiltOn's spir-
its rose Burr became silent. When the
General rose TO sing the Vice-P President
fixed his eyes on him, and gazed stead
fastiy at the man he was going to kill.
The man was his brother in more senses
than one. They had fought the same en-
emy, had suffered for the same cause, and
were both members of the Order of Gin
cinnati, one clause of the constitution OF
which is as follows:
TO render permanent the cordial afFec-
tinn suhSiSting among the officers, this
spirit viii dictate brotherly kindness in all
| things, and particularly extend to the
most substantial acts OF benefeence ac-
cording to the ability of the society, to-
ward those officers and their families who
unfortunately may be under the necessity
of receiving it."
Burr was about to rob one Of the fami-
lies mentioned in the constitution of its
head. He was going to take the life OF
a brother, and when Hamilton stood up
he gazed intently at him during the whole
time he sang: not that be was charmed
with the song. but because he was meas
uring the hight and size OF the man with
his eyes. and comparing him with the
figure he had drawn on the board in his
garden.

LOOKS BAD FOR TREATY.
English Not Inclined to Accept the
Senate Amendment.

London. March 10.-No action has
been taken by the government regard
ing the change which has come over
the Nicaragua convention. as reported
through the lengthy cable dispatches
dealing with the action of the foreign
relations committee. The United
States government apparently has
made no representations TO Lord Sal
isbury since the convention was signed
and the affair seems unlikely TO be Of
ficially discussed until the final con-
gressional action puts it in such shape
that it becomes a matter for diplomatic
reconsideration. Pending this, official
opinion is reserved, and it is impossible
to say what action Great Britain is
likely to take regarding the senate's
amendment to the treaty.
The Pail Mall Gazette comments on
the new situation as follows: The for
eign relations committee has certainly
gone far to wreck the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty. if only for this reason. that pow
erS other than the two most directly
concerned might refuse to acquiesce in
the modification, even if the British
government accepted il a fresh start.

We're a hundred reasons why he should

They did not dare declare against il

Mr.. Dunbar took up the subject of
prosperity. Wool, he said. was to 8
cents a pound, now it is y TO 10.

The point is this: II the Republicans

cents? Two years ago five bushels of
wheat bought 100 pounds Of barb wire:
now it takes thirteen bushels. This is
