She drew back from him with shy,
sweet grace, remembering her words
when Lord Rhysworth had kissed her,
Il will never give even one thought

said-|'I cannot My word is plighted.

her pure heart.
and man may, safely place his
honor in her hands, he thought.
Then she held out her hand to him.
''Good-by, Sir Karl There were
tears in her eyes and in her voice.
Must it be good-by?,' he asked, a
feeling of despair stealing over him.
Must it be farewell?"
Eyes, while we are both strong and
have nothing to regret, she answered.
He took her hand in his and held it.
II pray he said solemnly, chat /
may meet you in a happy hereafter"
Then he kissed her hand, and they
went back to the house together with
out speaking another word.
In silence he drove her home, and in
silence he left her again. Both their
hearts were too full for words. The
present was full of misery, and the
future all dark.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Feb. 4-Throughout
the session the senate had under con-
sideration the Hawaiian government
bill The discussion took a wide range
but the basis of it was an amendment
offered by Senator Plat (rep., Conn. J
as to the appointment and tenure of
office Of judges of the Hawaiian courts.
Senator Tillman (dem, S. c. en-
braced the opportunity to make char
acteristic speech, in the course of which
he made an attack upon Senator Nor
gan (dem., Ala.), and vigorously
opposed many provisions of the bill,
particularly those which related to suf-
frage. Senator Tillman read letter
from a person unnamed, who declared
that "a man who dares oppose the
sugar barons in Hawaii is in jeopardy
of his life" Senator Clark (rep., Wyo.
asked for the name of the writer, say
ing such a charge ought not to be made
lightly in the senate Senator Tillman
declined to give the writer's name. Sen
ator Tillman then gave notice of an
amendment substituting the suffrage
provisions of the South Carolina con-
stitution.
Washington, Feb. Through out
the debate on the Porto Rican bill in
the house there was an undercurrent OF
speculation on the outcome of the eff
forts to bring about a united action on
the part of the majority of the mem
bers. Frequent conferences were held
between the representatives of the va
rious elements, in hope of bringing
about common ground of understand
ing for consideration at a formal con-
ference to be held in the evening The
debate brought out speech by Mr..
Tawney (dem., Minn.) scoring Mr.. Lit
tlefeld (rep., Me- for his speech of
Friday, also two speeches from the re-
publican side, by Messrs. Tompkins
(dem., n. Y.) and Powers (dem., Vt.)
opposing the bill. Mr. Thayer (rep.,

Tense of the anti-imperialists Other
speakers were Mr.. Eddy (rep., Mimi. J

Porto Rico. The effect of this bill upon
the island of Porto Rico was of COM
paratively little Importance. But the
principle involved was of the greatest
Importance when made applicable to
the Philippines. Mr. Mondell (rep.,
Wyo) said he was prepared to give the
bill his support. The real issue in
volved was whether or not Porto Rico
was constitutionally part of the
United States. Upon that issue he was
emphatically with the committee. Mr..
Sutherland (pop., Neb.) declared the
anti-imperialists were anxious to join
their opponents upon the issue. The
people, he said, would rally to the
standard of the great Nebraskan who
in 1898 had announced that imperial
ism would endanger the life of the re-
public. Messrs. Jet Gid, Johnston
CIV. Va.) and Nonan (Ill) spoke
briefly against the measure. Messrs.
Reeder (Kas.), Graham (Pa) and Will
son (Ariz.) closed the debate, the two
former in support, the latter in oppo-
sition.

THE NUMBERED STONES.

This is the ground of glory,
This is the field of fame
And these begrimed and CORY,
Burned with the battle flame
These are the vague immortals,
The nameless of the fray,
Deep thronged around the potrals,
Of Deaths eternal day!
Bard OF the flowing phrases,
Muse OF the silver lutte,
Why do you stint your praises,
Why do your chords hang mute?
Can we aver you blameless,
Who sing but of the proud
And nigh forget the nameless,
Enwrapt with earthly shroud?
For them no laurelled Wreathings,
No proud, triumphant trains
No cheers, no crowds deep breath
ings,
No boastful, brazen strains.
With windkissed banners playing,
With wild regardless shout,
Their joy was in the Staying,
Their triumph in the rout!
Sons springing from the masses;
The homeland to defend
Their blood has wet its grasses,
Their dust with it will blend!
Dead to the acclamations-
Dead when the flight is done!
The pedestals of nations
Rest on the ground they won.
Their valor ours for buying?
The price we blush to own
Their recompense for dying
Was but numbered stone!

VISITOR IN THE HERMIT KINGDOM.
THE LITTLE PENINSULA OF CoREA WILL ASSIST JAPAN IN THE
GREAT BUSINESS OF w1PINa OUT CHINA.
BY Charles Edward Sc hull, Special Correspondent.

C orea will soon be the center of the
war Close neighbors to boil Japan and
Chin ma and the cause. as it was. of the
Chinese-Japanese war of five years ago,
it is no more than fitting that Japan
should call upon Corea in this moment
of emergency, nor that Corea should re-
ply not only with her arms. but with her
vast sea Goa advantages which are of
more benefit to Japan at this tine than
arms or ships.
IT is evident to all observers that there
is coming a crisis in the East, a vivid
situation in which Japan will come off
much the Of China. China sees
this and is committing her atrocities
upon the nations out of vengeance to
Japan whom it hates n fears, both
on account of the great defeat of '95
and because the powers side with Japan.
And Corea, small but powerful, the
her init kingdom, jutting out into the Pa
cific. will aid her.
I entered the hermit kingdom by the
back door, getting there by the way Of
the Japan sea.
My first view of Corea'S bald, colorless
and forbidding headlands was obtained
from the deck of the steamer Wa Choo
Foo, and my first contact with Qorean
life was received at Fusan.
As we approached the shore the lazy
natives, clad all in white, stalking about
on the hill sides, resembled nothing SO
much as exaggerated types of penguins.
Fusan, as a port, is purely Japanese. 1t

of China had he seen fit to act In conso-

guilty of acts not strictly honest, yet he
has always come to the front in time OF
trouble, and his people repose confidence
latest proof of the hold he has on his con-
stituency is his summons to act as a me-

China and the foreign powers. This cir

on record an important matter that oc-

Sir John Pope Hennessy at Hong Kong, in
which certain prominent Chinese officials

and the Chinese officials called into the con-
ference the late General Chinese Cor
don, for the. purpose of asking his advice
as to the defenses of the Chinese empire.
Gordon was on his way to Tien Tsin and
Pekin. and stopped at Hong Kong, and
as he had conceived the idea of placing his
old friend and fellow-campaigner, Ii Hung
Chang. at the head of Chinese affairs by
making him the emperor, he sought Ii to
SOUND him on the subject in order to see
the scheme. Gordon impaired his views to

the disturbance of a country with whom
his own was at peace, but HenneSsy al
