A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE.

A life on the ocean wave,
home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters wave
And the winds their revel keepl
Like an eagle Gagged, pine
On this dull, unchansing shore;
Oh, give me the flashing brine.
The spray and the tempests roar
Once more on the deck ! stand
OF my own swift gliding craft.
Set sail. farewell to the land;
The gale follows fair abaft
We shoot through the sparkling foam,
Like an ocean bird set free,
Like an ocean bird, our home
Wen find far out on the sea.
The land Is no longer in view,
The clouds have begun to frown,
But with stout vessel and crew
Well say let the storm come DOWN.
And the song of our hearts shall be,
While the wind and the waters rave,
home on the rolling sea.

MANY VOLUNTEER THEIR SERVICES.
The President Not Authorized to Raise
Force.

The President Not Authorized to Raise
Force.
The War Department IS in daily receipt
of letters and kilograms from all sections of
the country rendering the services of in
vidsals and organizations in the event of
war between the United States and China.
To all of these there can be but one reply.
BY the act of March ., 1899, the President
was authorized to raise a force of not more
than $4,000 volunteers. which volunteer
force "shalI continue in service only dur
ing the necessity therefor and not later
than June 3O 1901" and by the act of April
%, 1888, the volunteer army of the United
States can be maintained only during the
existence of war, and shall be raised and
organized only after Congress has. or
shall have. authorized the President to
raise such force to call into the actual
service of the United States the militia
of the several states"
1t therefore rests with Congress, says
Adjutant General Corbin, and not with the
President to increase the volunteer force,
and, while the War Department cannot be
other than gratified at these prompt and
spontaneous evidences of patriotism on the
part of the people, it can only reply to
each and every such tender of assistance
that there is no authority of law for the
acceptance of any volunteer troops other
than those now in the service.

From a Staff Correspondent.

Special From a STAFF Correspondent.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 3-Enough
of the leading spirits of this convention
have reached Kansas City to give soTne
life to hotel corridor gossip. but there has
not yet been any crystalzation which war
rants judgment of the temper of the con-
vention.
1t is evident that there will be hot pre-
liminary skirmish over both the platform
and the vice presidency before the conven-
ton meets and that the decision as to the
one will influence the other.
Bryan is going to dominate the conven-
ton whether he designs to do SO or not.
If Towne should be nominated Vice Presd-
dc mt the extreme silver men might be will
ing to forego the specific mention of l6 to
l. being satisfied with the simple reaffirma-
ton of the Chicago platform in general
terms TIE reason of this Is that there
is no fears of being accused of abandon
ing silver with ticket OF Bryan ana
Towne With most any other man than
Towne chosen for second place there Will
he A. demand for a most emphatic re!tera-
ton of the silver plank OF 1876.
VIII Defer to Bryan.
Even at the sacrifice of individual judg-
ment there viii be disposition not TO
adopt a policy either as to candidate or
platform which would be olstasteiui "
Bryan.
1t is evident that Bryan is not advocating
the nomination of any particular man on
the ticket with him, but 1t is plainly re-
fiected through those leaders closest to
him that he wants consistency maintained
and that he desires no incongruity In the
ticket.
It is believed that there is an amicaole
understanding between the Bryan leaders
and Croker and Hill but that this UNDER
standing does not contemplate the nomina-
ton of Hill for the vice presidency. Inc
men who came here strongly imbued WIN
the Hill spirit are not in town two hours
before they show signs of a modification
of their views.
This is in spite of the fact that the IDEA
of nominating Hill is possible with the less
factional element.
AT this hour it looks as If the two men
to the forefront were Towne and Shiveiey.
The latter is not candidate. put may
nossibly be made one and is considered oy

dock at Havana, the property of the Span

deemed necessary to determine the value
of the structure, which has not been
moved since 1t was taken to Havana. The
authority is secured from Madrid that the
inquiry may be made. The future location
of the dock is matter to be decided. The
chances are that it with be taken to San
Rico The commandant of the Pensacol
station has submitted a strong plea, how
ever. for sending the Havana dock to that
place.

to the State Department under recen,
date in regard to the Introduction of cur
rants in that country He says that this
year has brought the worst weather that
Greece has seen in forty years, owing to
the changeable temperatures and heavy
rains. On this account the currant vines
have been greatly damaged. He attributes
considerable loss to the disease known as
peronosporos. which is worry destructive to
the vines. In some sections of the country
the decrease of the crop is estimated at 30
per cent, while at other sections 1t is only
Is per cent. Currant producers and mer-
chants are very much worried over the
prospective decrease.
