The months postponement of the most impor-

forth between Sandy Hook and New-York. Many
Of these yachts English. and as the owners
preferred their vessels to return across the
ocean in a mild season the contracts were drawn
to terminate with the month Of August These
men have either TO enlarge their charter or let
the vessels go back without being put 10 their

MORE HOPE FOR THE CONGRESS-.
CHILL AND PERU AND BOLIVIA EXPECTED
TO ADJUST THEIR DIFFERENCES.

Washington, May 25.-The officials of the
State Department are encouraged to hope that
the Pan-American Congress at Mexico will meet
after all. with a full attendance of the repub-
lies of the two continents. Exchanges now in
progress are in such satisfactory shape that the
Department expects Chill on the one side and
Peru and Bolivia the other will compromise
their differences
II appears that there has been some misap

in this matter. 1t Is learned that at no time
has this government or its representative
the executive committee of the Bureau of
American Republics taken sides in this matter.

England has lost two of it's best
known literary men in the death,
within a few days, of Sir Walter
Besant and Robert Buchanan. Both
wrote many novels. and both did much
literary work along other lines by
which, however, they are less known
to the general public. Besant was
knighted in 1895 as the official head of
the literary profession in his country.
He was a most prolific writer and had
an attractive style that gave his books
q deep spirit of philanthropy which
has had wide effect for good.
Buchanan was poet. playwright.
critic and editor as well as writer of
novels. AS critic he was unsparing.
his fierce attack upon Kipling being a
recent sensation. Rossetti and Swim
burne likewise felt his caustic pen.

The Virginia Democrats. 1t is re-
ported. have changed their minds and
will not use the coming constitutional
convention as a means of eliminating
the negro vote. This does not mean
that they have any greater respect for
the Colored mans rights than have
the Democrats of the other states i'm
the South which have violated the
constitution by depriving him the
right of suffrage. 1t is simply that the
Nirginian Democrats fear the effect of
such policy upon their control of the
state. The counties in which the
whites most largely predominant went
for Mckinley. last fall. and the leaders
of the Democrats realize that the trend
Republican-ward would only be helped
by hot heated. partisan attempt to
keep the black Republicans from the
polls by a constitutional bar.
