NOTES EROM OUR NATIONS
CAPITAL.

If those responsible for Admiral
Dewey's announcement of his candi-
dacy tor the Presidential nomination
have the remotest idea that he can
get the Democratic nomination away
from Col. Bryan, they have another
guess coming to them.
If every Democratic member of the
House will occupy his seat and vote
against the Porto Rico bill, that
iniquitious measure can be defeated
when it is taken up this week. The
Republican caucus has declared in
favor of passing the bill just as it
came from the Senate, but there are
quite number of Republicans who
say they will not vote for the bill, and
few who will actually vote against
it, and it is practically certain that
owing to absentees, a vote against the
bill equal to the full Democratic
mem bership of the House will defeat
it.
1t is regarded as significant of COM
ing change in the administration s
Philippine policy that the official
announcement is made that Gen.
Otis will start for the U. S. at about
the time the new Philippine Com
mission arrives at Manila.
The administration does not intend
that a decision from the Supreme
Court shall be had on the question
of the Constitution following the
flag, before the Presidential election,
if it can possibly prevent it. This
has been shown by the action of Sec
retary Gage in ordering that con-
tract laborer, brought from Porto
Rico to New York for the express
purpose of making a test case, be al
lowed to land.
The Senate and all Washington
are still laughing at the humorous
speech of Senator Pettus, in which
he held Senator Beveridge, would
be Demosthenes, up to ridicule fol
his speech declaring his opposition
to the Porto Rico bill and his inten.
| eaSh W N'lC 1OA lis lt O6DalC an
galleries were in continuous roar OF
laughter from the beginning to the
end of the remarks of Senator Pettus
After rubbing it in on Beyeridge for
charging all those who didn't agree
with him, with enmity towards the
government, MIR. Pettus said:" "The
government in his mind is
Me and my wife,
My son John and his wife
Us four
And no more.'"
Representative Rhea, of Kentucky
made a rattling good speech at /

MY LOST LENORE-

'By NOBLE FLOWERS" .Thro' Courtesy
Edgar Allan PoeJ
Once, upon night in Summer,
When l was paper drummer,
While rested in sweet slumber
Dreaming of promise made
With my head upon my pillow
Calmly sleeping. not billow
Seemed to cross my breast. A "hello"
Startled me, as there laid.
'Tis some messenger, l muttered,
Yelling at my bedroom door
Only this aud nothing more.
Ahl distinctly 1 remember
1t was not in bleak December,
But in June, and twas no ember
Wrcughting ghost upon the floor.
Yet, my heart was quick to flutter,
Aud then began TO mutter:
Can it be from any but her?
From the one that l adore?
From the darling of my passions
Who has sought me oft before?
Ouly THIS andDothiug more.
Jumping upl made excuses,
Mingled with few abuses,
Asking caller what induces
Brought him here this time Of night?
For it was then past eleven,
And no moon was in the heaven.
Every one, the street lamps, even,
Ceased to give nocturnal light.
aere, | saw, in hand extended,
Through the crack of open door,
Telegram nothing more.
Then, upon my bedside sinking,
| begot myself to linking
Fancy into faucy, thinking
What the contents of it bore;
But there came no thought expressing
This "late letter." so distressing;
For, instead of some sweet blessing,
Ii was of n nature sore;
Ola nature so exhausling
That it sank me 20 the floor;
Only this-and nothing more.
All my soul was filled with sorrow,
As | read, that on tomorrow
My sweet angel,-Ohl the horror
Would, in early morning wed,
Would be married to another
lust TO crafty her mother,
Tho she swore she'd love the t'othcr,
Never ceasing, till she was dead;
Love me, even when her spirit
Will be on the other shore.
Only this, aud nothing more.
Having said no word of warning,
Suddenly the truth carac dawning
On my mind, that she was yarniug,
Though her manner seemed demure.
And, though driven TO distraction,
BY this faithless damsel's action,
haye this great satisfaction:
There are Others" true and pure,
Others, who will not deceive me,
Others, whom l can adore,
only this; and nothing more.
So sat TO work, composing
A short novelette,, disclosing
Her deceptiveness, exposing
The promises she made before.
Realizing she had shook me,
Suddenly, the thought betook me
That, although she had forsook me,
| should meet one who could cure
Meet one, whom / can depend on
Reciprosating love that's pure.
Only this, and nothing more.
Being lucky thar missed her,
I'll forget when first kissed her,
And eradicate the blister
That has made my heart strings sore;
Praying for Divine protection
In more sincere direction,
/ will make a new selection,
Truer than the one before;
Who is truer to the promises
She makes, than lost Lenore-
Only this; and nothing more.
