beauteous language
For those who weep,
Mourning the loss of some Gear face
departed,
Fallen asleep:
flushed into silence, never more to
comfort,
The hearts of men,
Gone, like the sunshine of another
country,
Beyond our ken.
Oh! dearest dead, we saw thy white
soul shining
Behind the face,
Bright with the beauty and celestial
glory
Of an immortal grace,
What wonder that we stumble faint
and weeping,
And sick with fears,
Since thou hast left us, all alone
WILL SO11OW
And blind with tears?
Can it be possible no words shall
welcome
Our coming feet?
How will it look, that face that we
have cherished
When next we meet?
Will it be changed, so glorifed and
sanity.
That we shall know it not?
Will there be nothing that will say

''And I have not forgot?"
Oh, faithful heart, the same loved
face transfgured
Shall meet thee there.
Less sad, less wistful, in immortal

Divinely fair,
The mortal veil, washed pure with

Is rent away,
And the great soul that sat within

Hath found the day.
In the clear morning of that other
country,
In Paradise,
With the same face that we have
loved and cherished
Sne shall arise!
Let us be patient, we who mourn,
with weeping,
Some vanished face,
The Lord has taken but to add more
beauty
And a divine grace.
And we shall find once more beyond
earth's sorrows,
Beyond these skies,
In the fair city of the "sure foun.

Those heavenly eyes,
With the same welcome shining
through their sweetness;
That met us here;
Eyes, from whose beauty God has
banished weeping,
And wiped away the tear.
Think of us, dearest one, while o'el
life's waters
We seek the land,
Missing thy voice, thy touch, ane
the true helping
Of thy pure hand,
Till, through the storm and tenn

Just on the other side,

PRESIDENT
IMPOSED ON
Result of Promise to Garry
Out MeKin,ey's Plans.
SEEKERS FOR PLACE
False Statements That Mckinley
Agreed to Appoint Them.
ROOSEVELT "oNTo" THE GAME
He Plans a Southern Campaign to
Include Appointment of
Good Democrats.


Washington, Oct. 3-Persons close to
President Roosevelt say he is already be-
ing made the victim of INSCRIPTIONS poll
ttcians and the president is understood
to have discovered the imposition and to
have determined to put stop to it. Dur
ing the solemn hours following upon the
death of President Mckinley, Colonel
Roosevelt voluntarily announced that he
would appoint without hesitation to any
office whatever, any man who had actually
been selected for that place by President
Mckinley. He began this by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Ridgely of Illinois as con-
troller of the currency, merely upon the
assurance by Secretary Cortelyou that
President Mckinley had already fully de-
termined to appoint Mr.. Ridgely.
Since then two or three similar cases,
although for minor offices, have come up,
President Roosevelt has followed his
original plan without hesitation. 1t soon
became evident, however, that designiAg
politicians were making use Of this an
nouncement to further their own ends.
Almost every man who has seen the presi-
dent about an Office within the last week
or so has declared with manifold emoti Il
that President Mckinley had alreauy
agreed to appoint his man. Many of these
applicants had witnesses to the fact, and
President Roosevelt was gradually drawn
into perfect whirlpool which derived its
motive power from the tragedy at Buffalo.
RIOcIxed Their OVvr, Cana
Unfortunately for the designs of these
schemers, several cases have appeared
where rival aspirants for the same Office
have each been put forward as the par
ticular man who had been promised the
place by President Mckinley and each
| fellow had witnesses to back up his state
ment. 1t was evident in these cases that
some one was lying, and the president has
been forced to insist that the intentions
Of Mr.. Mckinley in such cases must be
established by some official act, or the
communication of his intention to some
responsible official.
This system of graveyard insurance as
applied to practical politics has been ex-
tensively tried in the south. Every one
of the southern republicans now in office
has asserted, either personally or by proxy,
that he had been guaranteed retention in
his place either by President Mckinley in
person or else by Senator Hanna as his
political and personal representative.
The game has been played to the limit
and President Roosevelt has decided to
take matters into his own hands. He
will not recognize vague promises made

President Roosevelt Possesses the
Hearts of Westerners.
Washington, Oct. 3.-President Roose-
velt is especially captivating and winning
to western men. He greets them with
unfeigned heartiness and expressions that
are familiar to the regions west of the
Mississippi He is never stiff and formal,
but always dignified and self-ontained. A
western senator, once an Indian fighter,
was ushered into the presidents office
and was taken aback when the president,
as he thrust out his hand, exclaimed with
proper accent "How?' The senator's
face broke into smiles as he replied just
as heartily: "How?"
A western representative who had
known the president for years and hunt
ed big game with him in the Rockies,
was greeted with a hearty, Come in, old
man! How are you, anyhow" The late
President Mckinley possessed an incom-
parable faculty of making every one who
came into his presence feel at ease, but
President Roosevelt possesses the faculty
of making every one feel that he is a
friend. Thus far he does not appear to
lave made a single mistake of judgment,
and Washington is ringing with his
praises to a degree that Is even astonish-
ing for this town, where president wor-
shippers are always to be found in plenty.

FIGHT OFF SANTIAGO DESCRIBED
Lieut.. Doyle Presents the Best Pic
ture of the Event Yet
Given the Court.

Washington, Oct 3.-After the usual
preliminary proceedings in the Schley
court Of inquiry to-day, Lieutenant James
]. Doyle, formerly of the flagship Brook
lyn, was recalled for the purpose of con-
tinuing his testimony. When the court
adjourned yesterday Lieutenant Doyle
was under examination by Mr.. Rayner
and the court had just decided that the
witness should not enter upon a discus
sion OF the blockade Of Santiago as 1t
was conducted after the arrival of Com
mander-in- Chief Sampson. There was
much interest in Lieutenant Doyle's reap
pearance, as it was expected that his ex-
animation would develop the further pol
icy Of Admiral schleys counsel in the
case.
Both the court and counsel are begin
ming to show the effects of the arduous
duties imposed by the trial. Especially
severe is it upon all the attorneys. Their
duties do not cease when the court ad-
journs in the afternoon but they extend
far into the night and often they are
found at their labors before the break
fast hour next morning. The trial pre-
sents new points to all of them and it's
various turns bring to light fresh COM
plications which have the effect of rem
dering it very trying
But while all agree that it would be de-
sirable to have the case terminated at an
early day, they also agree that there Is
little prospect in that direction. Judge
Advocate Lemly probably will not call for
more than six or eight witnesses, but Mr..
Rayner has almost forty names on his list.
He says, however, that he does not ex-
pect to examine more than half OF this
number. Still, he will not undertake to
name a day for the close Of the trial
within a month from this time He does
not expect to call Admiral Schley to the
witness stand for some time yet. MIR.
Rayner expects his client to make a com
plete review Of the case and it is proba-
Bile that the admiral will be on the stand
longer than any other witness
Modified by sigsbee.
Captain Sigsbee was the first of yester-
days witnesses to appear to-day for the
purpose Of correcting his testimony. He
stated that he had made another search
last night for the dispatch from the navy
department under the terms of which he
sought to connect with the flying squadron
off Santiago, and that he had found a
private letter which he had written at
the time, in which he said:

New York. Oct. 3.-The starting gun was
fired on the dot at II and it was apparent
that the advantage lay entirely with the
British skipper. Just before the start he
sent Shamrock swinging around the COM
mittee boat, cutting in between the Co
lumbia- The latter, being under Sham
rocks lee, apparently decided not to cross
in that position, but wore around again
Holding tight to his advantage when the
gun fired, Captain Sycamore sent Sham
rock across the line almost before the
stiff wind could sweep the powder smoke
away, Columbia being considerably behind
him. The official crossing of the line was

After crossing. both yachts went on a
close reach for the first mark, fairly tear
ing through the water and throwing great

BODIES BURNED
Shocking Treatment of Americans
| Killed by FiIipinOs.

Manila, Oct. 3-The latest advices from
the island OF Samar give narrowing de-
tails of the slaughter of the members of
Company G, Ninth United States infantry,
last Saturday at Balangiga. 1t seems that
the president of the town, claiming to be
friendly, led the assault in person.
On hearing of the slaughter, Colonel
Isaac d. Derussy of the Eleventh infantry
started for the scene Immediately with a
battalion. The body of Captain Connel
had been tied at the heels, saturated with
kerosene and partly burned.
FOrty-five bodies had been burned in a
trench, leaving seven unaccounted for.
The charred remains of many were recov-
cred. In numerous instances the bodies
had been badly mutilated.

It was magnificent and blood
stirring race to the first mark.
Both yachts were close reached
on the port tack and smothered
along through the seas, the
gusty wind continually knocking
them down.

The pace was terrific, and it was I'm
possible to determine when half the hrs'
leg had been sailed whether or not Sham
roack was maintaining the lead she gained
when they crossed the line. Both were
carrying the same sails.
Every yard of the snow-whtte cloud OF
canvas piled above the flying hulls OF the
racers was as hard as board. The crews
were lined under the wind rail, while on
to leeward the spray from under the bows
of the Yachts was swept in smoky clouds
by the increasing winds.
Shamrock Turns First.
They lifted the first turn as though the
stake boat itself was coming to meet them
Shamrock still holding her big lead. Sham
rock turned the first mark, unofficial time
IL: 5O SO, and gybing stretched out for the
reach to the second mark Columbia fol-
lowed her around one minute twenty-five
seconds later, and, based on unofficial hg-
ures, it seemed that she had gained nine
seconds on the first leg. Both swept away
by about quarter to third of a mile.
The official time of the turning OF the
first mark was:
Shamrock, 11:51:06
Columbia, 11:52:17.
This showed that Columbias gain was p
seconds in the ten miles Of close reaching
for the first leg.
On the Second Leg.
Ire second leg of the race lost nothing
in exciting interest The wind held strong
and true, and after rounding the mark
the racers maintained their terrific speed
making no change in their sails. The ex-
cursion fleet had fight to keep up with
the race, being compelled to crowd on q
full head OF steam to maintain position
which would keep the flying yachts In
view. AS in the first leg, 1t was mere
guesswork at first whether either boat
had gained or lost. When about half OF
the second leg had been covered, II
seemed, however, as If the American boat
had managed to slightly crawl up on her
fast-sailing opponent.
At any rate she was safely within her
time allowance and as they neared the
second mark it was evident that II she
was not gaining she was easily holding
her own.
Still scudding in the strong wind, the
big white racers fetched the second mark,
Shamrock rounding 1t first and with
hattening sheets she held toward the Jer-
sey shore in the starboard tack for about
an eighth Of a mile.
Columbia, however, luffed around the
mark and stood off on the port tack. AS
soon as Columbia had rounded, Shamrock
also went on the port tack and in this
position the yachts stood nearly due north
for more than twenty minutes. 1t was
the first windward work of the race, and
the result OF the contest depended upon
the respective merits Of the two boats in
the thrash to windward toward the finish
mark.
At 1:O6 both yachts went about on the
starboard tack and stood for the Jersey
shore. The race was as close as ever.
Both yachts he'd taken in their jib top
sails before reaching the second mark,
prepatory to beating up the last leg under
the three lower sails and lower club top
sails. Working in the wind Shamrock

NORTHwEsT's GRAIN TRADE
Wonderful Development S<etched by

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. S.-Frank H.
Peavey of Minneapolis, who read paper
on "The Growth Of the Grain Trade in
the Northwest" said, in part:
The subject on which l have been asked to
talk-"The Growth of the Grain Trade of the
Northwest"-gves me great scope, and for
its complete treatment would require large
volume. win give you briefly my observa-
tions and experiences covering a period OF
thirty years, when one firm that | recall
started in a feed store with less than car
load of assorted grain, and to-day this same
firm, which has never changed its name,
controls and practically owns elevators scat

storage capacity of 49, 100000 bushels.

Will Jar Old BarnacIes.
Furthermore, President Roosevelt is
contemplating plan Of campaign in the
south which will shake up the old barna-
cles. He is considering the advisability
of appointing reputable democrats to fed
eral offices here and there in the south
and giving the cold shoulder to the moss
back southern republicans, who have
never been the slightest good to the party
and have remained faithful simply and
solely that they might control the pat
ronage.
President Roosevelt is turning toward
the sound money protectionists in the
south, and he has asked Clark Howell to
come here to discuss the situation with
him. 1t is believed the. president also
intends to ask the advice of two or three
conservative democratic senators in the
south, like Morgan and McEnery, and
then submit the whole scheme to three or
four northern senators like Allison,
Spooner, Proctor and Cullom.
