Parece que a cada nota
que en- esa mdsica vibra

las cuerdas de mi arpa rota;
Y es porque en- mi mente hota

de la insensi BILE criatura
tan ingrata como bella:

McCOrnlick,s VIII.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Leander McCor-
mick's will, which was filed in the
probate court yesterday, disposes of
an estate scheduled as worth $4,135,-
900, though Mr.. McCormick's lawyers
said the actual value is not less than
$5, 900, 900. The will, dated February
2, 1888. provides that the wife of the
testator shall be awarded her lawful
share of the estate. This is nullified,
owing to the fact that Mrs. McCor-
mick died some time ago. The estate
is left in trust to II. Hall Mccormick,
who is nominated as executor of the
will. 1t is directed that the property
shall be held in trust for 20 years. At
the expiration of that time it is to be
divided equally among the three sur
viving heirs or their children, pending
which division each of the heirs shall
receive an annuity of $4,000.

MashOna FOodstuH' Can Now He Sold

Washington, Feb. 23.-Consul Cen
eral Stowe at Cape Town, under date
of yesterday, cables the state depart
ment as follows: "Mashona foodstutf
released. Government buy. Consign-
ors send invoices"
The Mashona was one of the three
vessels seized by British cruisers off
the east coast of Africa laden with
foodstutf which it is supposed was in
tended for the Beers. Since Lord Sal
isbury's declaration some weeks ago
to the effect that the government
would not sustain the legality of the
seizures the British authorities have
been endeavoring to ascertain the
names of the owners and value of the
seized goods, with view to settle
ment, either by release or purchase.
A good deal of progress has been made
in this direction, and according to the
reports to the state department the
American owners of the goods seized
have expressed perfect satisfaction
with the settlements made by the
British government.

PETITION TO CONGRESS.

to Remedy the Evil.
TRUST QUESTION INVOLVED.
The American Newspaper Association
Says That Newspapers Have TO Sell
at IA Fixed Price and Has No Means
of Increasing the Cost.

New York, Feb. 24.-The American
Newspaper Publishers association,
comprising most of the large newspa-
pers of the United States for the past
three days in convention at the Wal
dorfAstoria in this city, gave thor
ough consideration to the sudden in
crease in the price of white paper and
the reasons therefor. The following
resolutions were unanimously passed
and a committee of the newspaper
proprietors will personally present
the same to congress within the next
few days:
Whereas, the price of printing pa
per used by newspapers in the United
States has been arbitrarily increased
in price from 60 to 100 per cent, with
out reason or warrent to be found in
the conditions of the industry itself,
and,
Whereas, it is the common belief
that this increase is due to the work
ings of a trust, therefore be it
"Resolved, that the American News
paper Publishers association, repre-
senting in this case not only its own
members but the 22, 900 newspapers of
the United States, calls upon congress
to make inquiry by means of special
committee into the conditions above
described, to the end that suitable leg
islation may be provided to remedy
this condition of affairs, in the inter
est of the best source of public infor-
nation provided for the people, to-
wit: the newspaper press whose in
terest the founders of the republic
held in the highest regard.
THE attention of congress is direct
ed to five bills now in the hands of the
ways and means committee, not neces-
sarily to aid the passage of any of
them specifically, but as evidence of
great demand for some form of reme-
dial legislation, to which the inquiry
we request would be preliminary. We
believe that the entire agitation
against trusts presents no more COM
plete example than this, and your pc
titioners, relving upon the desire of
congress to legislate in the interests
of the people, believe you will accept
the opportunity to make this inquiry
in the spirit in which it is demanded.
"The newspaper, it is fair to state,
unlike most other forms of industry,
sells at a fixed price and has no means
of putting the increased cost on to the
consumer. In many instances it means
the complete contiscation of profits
and in many others creates an actual
loss.
''The apparently sincere desire of
all parties to deal with the trust
question removes this inquiry from
the charge of Dartsanship and makes
it what it is intended to be, an inquiry
in the public interest

NO INTERVENTION.
Neither the United States Nor Germany
Have Attempted TO Interfere I'm the
War I'm south Africa.

Washington, Feb. 22.-In view of the
persistent circulation of the rumor
that the government of the United
States has reached an agreement with
the German government, through its
representative here, Baron Won Helle-
hen, to intervene between the combat
ants in South Africa, the Associated
Press has secured from the highest
authority statement of the present
position of the government in this
matter. This is to the effect that
there has been absolutely no agree
ment reached between Secretary Hay
and Baron Won Hellehen on the sub
ject, nor has there been any discus
sion of the propriety of joint media
tion between the British and the
Beers. Nor has the United States gov
ernment undertaken or contemplated
any intervention on its own account.
There has been no time before nor
since the outbreak of the present war
that the president would not haze,
with the greatest readiness, exercised
his good Offices in favor of peace If
that could have been accomplished
without what he regarded as an un-
warrantable breach of international
law and the proprieties. His present
position is said to be precisely as stat
ed in the following sentence, extract
ed from his annual message to con-
gress 1--WE have remained faithful to
the precept of avoiding ensangling al
liances as to affairs not of our direct
concern. Had circums stances suggest
ed that the parties to the quarrel
would have welcomed any kindly cX-
preston of the hope of the American
people that war might be averted,
good offices would have been gladly
rendered, :"

DEWEY HONORED.
II Was Celebrated in Great Style I'm
Wheeling, w. Va.

Wheeling, w. Va, Feb. 23.-"Dewey
day in Wheeling has come and gone
and it goes down as the greatest day
in the history of the West Virginia
metropolis. And this, notwithstand-
ing the weather, which could not have
been more unfavorable. The parade
OF course was not the great spectacle
anticipated. Instead of 10000 parad-
ers promised, only $500 appeared. Adj
miral Dewey and Lieut.. Doddridge
rode in carriages and both were given
magnificent ovation along the
streets, which were lined by $4,000 to
10000 people, who cheered themselves
hoarse.
Following the parade the exercises
by the state of West Virginia of the
Fort Henry tablet occurred. Admiral
Dewey was surprised and gratified
with the warmth of the reception Civ
en- him. He said that he had heard
the West Virginia hills bore patriots
and now he knew it to be true. The
only public utterance of Admiral
Dewey was when he handed the sword
to Lieut.. John S. Doddridge, who was
an ensign on board the Boston in the
battle of Manila. He said he felt great
pleasure in participating in u cere-
mony in honor of a brave young naval
officer.
Last night the admiral was to have
been the guest of honor with Lieut..
Doddridge at the annual dinner of
the Society of the Sons of the Revolu-
ton in West Virginia, held at the Nc
Lure hotel, but, pleading weariness,
he was compelled to decline. At 10
o'clock there was a big jam of human
itv in and around the hotel.

KANSAS CITY WINS.
The National Democratic Convention
VIII BE Held There on July 4.

Washington. Feb. 23.-The next
democratic national convention will be
held at Kansas City, Mo, July 4. This
was the decision of the democratic ma
itonal committee which met at the
Hotel Raleigh yesterday to fix the
time and place of holding the conven-
tion. Milwaukee was the only city
which competed for the honor of en-
tertaining the convention and the
poor showing it made when the vote
was taken (the result being Kansas
City 40, Milwaukee 81, caused general
surprise. The claims of the rival cit
les as to hotel accommodations, rail-
road and telegraphic facilities were
presented in open session by represen-
tatives of each city, and subsequently
in executive session. Gov. w. j. Stone,
on behalf of Kansas CITY, and Nation
al Committeeman +. c. Wall, on be-
half of Milwaukee, explained the fl
nancial inducements which the city
he represented was willing to make.
Each offered the committee $4,000.
One of Milwaukee's strongest argu-
ments was the political effect which
the holding of the convention in that
city would have upon the German
American voters, who were represent
ed to the committee as wavering in
their allegiance to the republican par
ty. 1t seemed to be taken for granted
by at least two speakers that Bryan
would be renominated and that the
Chicago platform in substance would
be reaffirmed.
. a speech by ex-senator German in
favor of holding to precedent and
naming date later than that for the
convention of the party in power had
considerable influence in causing Inde-
pendence day to be chosen.
The national committee issued tha
following call: 1.-The national demo-
cratic committee, having met in the
city of Washington on the 22d day os
February, 1900, has appointed Wednes-
day, the 4th day of July, as the time,
and chosen the city of Kansas City,
Mo-, as the place for holding the ma
tional democratic convention. Each
state is entitled to a representation
therein equal to double the number of
its senators and representatives in the
congress of the United States; and
each territory, Alaska, Indian Terri
tory and the District of Columbia
shall have six delegates. All demo-
cratic conservative reform citizens of
the United States. irrespective of past
political associations and differences,
who can unite with us in the effort
for pure, economical and constitutions
al government, and who favor the re-
public and oppose the empire, are cor
daily invited to join us in sending
delegates to the convention" The
committee at 6:30 p. m. adjourned to
met at Kansas City, July 3.
