The hackmen who drive passengers

POEM OF THE PACIFIC.

Oh, wild and restless waves Of the
sea,
Vast and endless as the heavens
above;
Sickness and mfs'ry imparting TO me.
AS you bear me away from friends
| love.
Wave after wave. rolling half noun
tain high.
Lost in the distance on the glister-
ing crest,
Where sunIights gimmer. and the sad
winds sigh
over the awful oceans heaving
breast ?
Measureless depths that no plummet
can sound.
Restless and raging the blue blllows
foam:
Scattering sprays for the sea birds
around
To sweeten the life of their lonely
home.

Quarrel at Sea.

A cutting ARRAY which almost re

this port. The Andrew Hicks is TN
American whaler. bound for the Are
tic. Among her crew are two men OF
the type ordinarily found on such yes
sells. On Monday, these two, Murcado.
a mexican. and Mullaney. an Irish
man became engaged in an alterca-
ton AS a result. Mullaney lies in
the hospital in this city. and Murcado
is on the vessel in chains.
The Hicks will hunt blubber whales
in these latitudes for a month or
more. then proceed TO Alaska. BY the
time she arrives in the Arctic regions
the ice viii have become sufficiently
broken to allow her TO hunt for
whales
Early this morning Murcado was
brought ashore and is now in jail
The injured man is resting easily
According 10 statement he made last
night. he was aroused from his sleep
by the Spaniard who was wandering
aimlessly about the forecastle. in the
dead OF night. and with no apparent
reason for making the disturbance.
After requesting Murcado to be quiet,
and receiving only a grum answer in
reply. he heard the Spaniard go osi
deck and stamp about, making il inn
possible for the men below to sleep.
Again the lrishman demonstrated but
with no result A few minutes later
Murcado came down and. without any
warning. began slashing his victim
with knife. After some difficulty he
was overpowered and placed where
he could do no harm. The sympathy
of the men on the ship is with the
injured man.

A New Theory.

q think MT. Charles Francis Adams is mistaken when he attributes Lees sur render at Appomattox as Lees foregone purpose" said a student of history.
 Why did Lee not surrender when his lines were broken at Petersburg and when Richmond was evacuated at his own suggestion, if he had predetermined plan. as Mir. Adams intimates?
 ''The truth had just as well be told out in meeting. General Lee would have es- capped General Grant had his orders to stop train of provisions for his army near Appomattox on the road to Rich mond been obeyed by the conductor. The conductor got other orders from Rich mond, and passed Lees army, leaving it to starve or capitulate. There is no dis putting this incident, and the incident alone prevented Lee from reaching the mountains, where Johnston could and would have joined him.
 Tt is military question whether Grant and Sherman combined could have cap tured Lee and Johnston in the mountains. But it is doubtful question in the art of war that Hampton and Wheeler, with eight or ten thousand cavalry, could have cut off Grant and Sherman from their base necessarily on the sea coast and starved them out.
 MT. Davis did not speak vain words at

he was instrumental In calling to- gether.
 The two sides in the suffrage com mittee agree that voter should have been resident of the State two years and of the county one year; that all old soldiers should be allowed to reg ister and vote; that poll taxes should be prepaid by voters, but at this point the two sides go apart. One wants permanent board of registration in each magisterial district-correspon ing to beats in this State-these boards to be armed with power to en- force a perpetual understanding" clause of the Mississippi sort. The minority of the committee accepts such a board, but wants it's life limited to January 1, 1904. Here is where the trouble and conflict arise.
 The constitution will not, 1t is be- lieved, be submitted to the people for ratification, and at present it looks as if Virginia would duplicate Missis- sippi's plan, although there will be very strong opposition in the poor white" counties to perpetual Under standing" clause.
 The more the subject is studied the better appears the plan adopted in Alabama. It was compromise meas ure, but like other compromise meas ures it fits the case very we'll If the registrars do their duty wisely in 1902 the last complaint over it's terms will have been uttered, for Alabamas per manent plan is ideal.
