Death Of the Presiden It.

God reigns, and the govern
ment at Washington still Ii YES"
Once again the truth OF that lofty
statement is impressed upon the
American citizen. On Friday last
the sad news that President
Mckinley was dead, flashed over
the wires, saddening the hea rts Of
all his fellow citizens, and plung-
ing the entire nation in burning
at the wanton and brutal act of an
irresponsible degenerate. How
puerile the attempt of anarchy
seems when viewed in its true
light! Although but a week has
elapsed since the man at the helm
Of the ship OF state departed this
life, already another hand has
taken the tiller, and the affairs Of
this great government proceed
calmly along the beaten track pre-
cisely az though nothing had hap
pened. The great heart of the ma.
tion may be wounded BY the
assassination of it's honored head
but its life cannot be taken in thai
manner. A government Of thu
people cannot be destroyed in tha1
manner, but simply tends to unit,
all its diverse elements and cemen1
them more firmly together. II
the homes aid churches through
out this broad land today many
fervent prayer will go up from thu
people for strength to the strickel
wife Of the honored and illustriou
dead. Death loves a shining mark
and as we reflect upno the grea
crime, the mighty words Of tn
"Rubyyaht" comes forcibly to GU
mind:

Mrs. Patterson was instantly killed,

Her daughter, who fell like dis

Nellie Chase fell 20 feet into tho

Mrs. Patterson and the girls had
made their way TO the mountain top
to view the forest fires which for days
have been burning across the river.
They made their way cut to the very
edge of table rock. below them the
precipice dropped sheer, and at the

under the girls feet. Her mother
sprang to catch her.
Mother and daughter plunged over
the ledge.
Nellie Chase became frantic with
fear. She, too. had leaned forward
to help save her little companion
when she saw her danger. The sight
of the mother and child as they fell
from the dizzy height was too much
for her. She lost control of her limbs
and fell forward.
Daniel Mccarthy, passing along the
road below the mountain crest, heard
a scream, and looking up saw the
little Chase girl suspended between
the earth and the sky. Her clothes
were caught in the limbs of the tree.

It DEPENDS ON LOOMS.

HAS BEEN OBJECT OF BITTER ATTACK.
Upon the Outcome of His Confer

pend whether or Not He VIII Re-
turn TO Caracas-No Present In
tentiOn of Sending Warsbips.

Washington, April 1.-The future I'd
Minister Loomis depends upon the con
ft renee which will be held at the state
department between Secretary Hay
and himself when the minister reach
es Washington. Until the secretary
has had an opportunity to talk freely
with Mr.. Loomis as to conditions in
Venezuela it can not be known posi-
lively whether or not he will return
TO his post.
An object of Bitter Attack.
Mr.. Loomis has been the object of
bitter attacks by some of the Ven
ezuelan newspapers, not solely be-
cause of the asphalt controversy. but
also because he was charged with
making false reports to his govern
ment touching the nsurrectionary
movement in Venezuela. The minister
did inform the state department OF
the conditions as he saw them. and of
the prospects of the revolutionary
movement. The Venezuelan govern.
ment could not have direct knowl-
edge of the minister's reports. but
'NNthSN 'hNSN WHY lbllONNl w WV
appearance of three United States
warShips i'm Venezuelan waters they
came to the conclusion that the minis
ter had reported as very mcEacinC
and serious revolutionary move
mCnt which the government organs
were trying their best to minimize.
Therefore these papers lost no oppor-
e -.
print, and have succeeded i'm making
his lot unpleasant. 1t is only fair to
state that the Venezuelan charge
here asserts positively that these at
tacks were made by irresponsible
newspapers. and that the government
was not behind them and deprecated
them. If Mr.. Loomis confirms this
view, and he cares to return 10 Cara
cas-, he will he permitted to do so.

II is expected that Minister LOOMS
will reach New York April 10, for the

LaGuyara especially to make sure
that he should connect at Kingston,
Jamaica, with the regular pa ,senger
steamer coming to New York. There
is no present intention of sending
the North Atlantic squadron to Ven
ezuela for, as above stated, the gov
eminent can not decide how this mat
ter should be treated until Mr.. Loom
is has been personally consulted. The
squadron which is at Culbera island.
engaged in maneuvers. is about TO
head north in few days. One or
two of the vessels will be sent first to
Kingston, jamaica, but the delay will
be temporary and the whole squadron
will soon be under way for Tomrkins-
