AFTERMATH.

Lieutenant Richmond p. Hobson arrived
at vancouver two days ago. When ques-.
toned as to the condition of the hul!s Of
the Spanish fleet destroyed at Manila,
when he arrived at Hong Kong to super
intend repairs upon them. he said:
Inc damage THE hulls was mainly
the result Of six months submersion. Inc
upper WORKS had been badly damaged os
alre' the woodwork was destroyed ana the
iron work badly twisted by the heat
Nhen asked as to the direct cause OF the
sinking OF the vessels Lieutenant Hobson
replied:
The spaniards pulled out the plugs and
opened the valves. Our shell fire did very
little below the water line. We had prac.l-
cally done them no damage there at all.
1t is reported in New York financial cir
cles that the Spanish Government is now
trying to float a loan in this country, and
that negotiations for a Russian loan are
about to be renewed. The gossips say that
Spain IS especially in need of funds as a
result OF her war with the United states.

IT You Could Know.

If you could know that half OF all yearn
to be to you, Dear Heart!
Each day that dawns l struggle to be
strong and do my part;
Yet when at last night comes softly down,
1 humbly pray
Lord, grant me still to prove my tender
love, just one more day.
Just one more day to strive to rise above
small troubles, petty care,
That my cramped soul may break It's
earth logged bonds, at last to dare
To face the future andfto gladly live with
courage new,
Loyal and cheerful facing toward the light
for truth and you.
And yet I feel in spite of all the heights
which 1 can never. scale,
In spite of all the marry tests in which
daily fail,
That my deep love, more deep and pure,
and strong than can ever show,
You somehow, through my failures, doubts
and fears, will come to know.
The dreary clouds can't hide the sun for
aye. it glimmers through;
The sweet, wet violet, struggling through
dead leaves, stiii shows its blue.
And so L trust though oft I strike loves
chord with clumsy hand,
You'll feel the melody l tried to play, and
understand Cosmopolitan.

The extracts from the New York Jour-
AMI of Commerce, which we quoted yester-
day. are so entirely in line with what we
are saying, and are so full of good sense
in themselves. that we venture to reprint
them here. That paper says:

pies in the present situation OF the world s
diplomacy, i. will be from no lack OF
readiness on the part of foreign Powers 10

the unique distinction of being able to
treat with all the great Powers untram-
meled either by national prejudice or cen
tlicting interests. 1t has no desire OF con-
quest TO be satisfied and no old scores to
be wiped out. IT it be jealous of the terri
torial ambition of other nations, it is
simply because 1t cannot afford to have
that ambition gratifed at the cost of its
own opportunities for trade. Its interests
lie in removing future danger Of war by
recognizing the conditions essential to the
permanent and progressive rule of peace"
That states the case as it is. And can it
be possible that position SO unique and
so commanding is TO be sacrificed and
thrown away2 To what good end could
such a thing occur? Such a course would
be followed, in all probability, by untold
evils. while we cannot imagine single
good likely to flow from it
We cannot believe that man Of Mr..
McKinley's sound sense even seriously
considers such course.
