THB PASSING OF WILLIAM NC.
klNL6H.

Oh, Lord pray Thee tell to me;
Why Is 1t, Thy Supneme decree
Allowed this sacrifice 70 be.
Why Is 1t, Dark ness dooms the Light
To ever sit In blacklist night;
The fairest flowers the soonest blight.
Why are thy loved ones ever made;
when most We need their gracious
add
To sleep beneath the cypress shade.
Why Is it that our heroes must
When laurel crowned return to dust;
Pray ten me Is 1t right or just?
ask of Thee, this truth o. Lord?
lit be Thy Divine accord
That, jacksls be the Lions award.
Yea tell me Lord I humbly pray?
Why hath 1t ever been the wsyf
That evil always wins the day.
And Right and Truth must e'er go
down
All foully freightsd with the frown
or self-appointed murderous clown.
A Lincoln soaring DER the height
OF freedoms Dome, emitting Light
Sheds glorious dawn DER slsvery's
night.
But for that deed that free hath
made
Our brethren OF the dusky shade,
Our Lincoln was all lowly laid.
o Lord our cry is not in vain;
Though, a Guiteau hath our Garfield
slain
Our grief shall not always remain.
Though Lincoln's fate we mourned
long,
And Garfeld's fame embslmed in
song,
W. Ave outlived, outgrown the
wrong.
Bnt one, who In these latter days
Had won us. by his genial ways,
Has fallen and left US In amaze.
Our Lord was by kiss betrayed
He by a handshake lowly laid
Alas, our souls are sore dismayed.
Good Lord sustain US Ia this hour
When Satan's reign Is high 10 power
And assassination blooms 10 flower.
Let light upon our dark ness rise,
McKinley's passed into the skies.
Good Lord! our prayers do not de-
spise.
In peaceful Spirit send thy Dove,
Yea, grant US Liz ht from Heaven above
o, give US faith and hope and love.
And may We humbly bow the knee,
Submissive to thy kind dercee,
Be done thy will, whste'er It be.
MARY T. RoAKE, Osceola.

Vast Improvement Visible In the
Underground Workings.

Vast Improvement Visible In the
Underground Workings.
On Monday morning q steady stream
Of water coming down the canyon and
passing through town, announced that
'asomething was doing" at the Chain
man, and the following day we took
occasion to visit the property and learn
what that something" was.
General Manager Dawson kindly
took US down to the 2O0-level and the
change which has been made there
during the past fortnight amounted
almost to . Transformation scene. The
new foreman, Fred Butler, with q good
force OF men, has accomplished won
ders during the short time he has been
In charge OF the mine, and the cramped
and circuitous passageways to the ore
chambers are now broad, well-timbered
corridors, which impress one rs he
passes through with feeling OF secur-
ity, and tell OF the substantial worth
OF the property. New tracks are be-
ing laid to the different ore chutes, the
drifts widened, and the entire level put
in frst-class shape for the economical
and expeditions handling OF ores. AL
the timbers used In this work are thor
oughly seasoned, having been saveo
when the old mills were torn down.
and will last much longer than new
lumber.
In addition to this work the shat
has gone down about twenty five feet.
leaving only about fifteen or twent,
feet yet to 60 before drifting can COM
mence on the 3O0-level.
Mr.. Butler, who has had large ex
perience in the mining business, say
he was simply surprised at the dimen
sions OF the ore bodies In the Chain
man, and he is confident, when th
work be has mapped out is completed
he viii have no trouble in supplying
the new mill with $50 tons OF ore da.
while opening up new reserves.
The new mill Is hive OF industry
the carpenters, iron roofers, and tanl
builders apparently vieng with eacl
other In contest to determine which
can create the greatest din. AS to tn
date when the new mill be ready for
trial run, December may be suggest
ed, and 1t would not seem safe to figur'
on an earlier starting.
Everything about the plant is ap
parently moving smoothly and Mr.
Dawson is we'll pleased with the prog.
ross being made.

InadvisabIe to Make Public Details of
What He Did or Said.

The House military affairs committee yes
terday decided to lay on the table the De
Almond resolution calling on the Secretary
Of War for information as to what protest.
criticism or suggestion Gen. Chaffee or any
other American officer in China made con-
corning looting, or other improper conduct.
to whom 1t was made and the result The
committees action was based on the follow
ing letter from Secretary Root to Chair
man Hull, setting forth reasons why 1t
would be inadvisable to open the matter to
public discussion:
1.-The subject to which this resolution re-
lates is so intimately connected with the
diplomatic relations and negotiations con-
corning the critical and delicate conditions
now existing in China that l think it would
be very inadvisable to attempt any public
statement or invite public discussion upon
any branch of the subject at this time The
time doubtless will come when the whole
subject will be proper matter for report,
but that time clearly has not yet come. An
answer to the resolution would require me
to call upon Gen. Chaffee for detailed re-
port. and 1t is probable no answer could be
received before the end of the present ses-
sion of Congress"

Progress of Laying Military Cables Il
the Archipelago.


General Greedy, chief signal officer. U. s.
A., has received from Lieutenant Colonel
James Allen In the Philippines dispatch
announcing that the Signal Corps has laid
cables from Oslob, Island Of Cebu, to Du-
maguete, Island of Negroes. and thence to
Misamis and Lintogo. Island Of Mindanao.
This extension Of the military telegraph
system connects for the first time the large
and important Island of Mindanao with
Manila and the rest of the world Hereto
fore in some instances three weeks time
would elapse before the army officials at
manila would hear of an engagement tina t
had taken place in Mindanao, but the newly
laid cable will put Manila in direct and in
slant communication with this lower island.
1t is hoped that the extension of the ca
bles from Tucuran to the Jolo group by
way of Zamboanga will be completed with
in the next month.
Colonel Allen reports that in November.
the last month for which complete data
has been received, more than 100000 mill
tary messages were transmitted over the
military telegraph lines of the archipelago
The extension of this system will greatly
facilitate the military control Of the south
ern islands and Obviate In some measure
the Inconvenience which will arise from a
reduction OF the military force in the is
lands.

Develops Insanity.

Clara Williams, colored. twenty years
old, a former resident OF Orange Court
House, was arrested in the Baltimore and
Potomac depot this morning by Detective
Tyser and locked up at the sixth precinct
station upon the charge that she is insane.
Two years ago Clara came here from Vir
ginia, and she has lived at No. 112S 1st
street northwest Early this morning she
left her home and went to the depot, where
she insisted on paying her fare to Orange
with a street ticket. Incidentally she
endeavored to entertain the people in The
station by dancing, and because Of her
other queer conduct the detective arrested
her.
The prisoner knew that the patrol wagon
would not take her to Virginia, and she
declined to enter the vehicle. 1t was only
after considerable trouble that the officers
succeeded in landing the woman behind the
bars. Her case was referred to Sanitary
Officer Frank, who has communicated with
relatives of the unfortunate woman.

CONFIRMATION PREVENTED.
Mr.. Pettigrew Refused to Withdraw
His objection to Harlan's Nomination.


While the Senate was in executive session
Yesterday an effort was made to obtain con-
firmation of the nomination of Mr.. James S.
Harlan, son of Justice Harlan of the United
States Supreme Court. to be attorney gen
eral for Porto Rico but action was pre-
vented by the objection of Senator Petit
grew.
Senators Foraker and Spooner united in
an appeal to Mr. Pettigrew to withdraw his
objection saying that Mr.. Harlan is an ex-
celent lawyer and an accomplished gen
tleman, and would fill the place as accept
ably as any one who could be named.
Mr.. Pettigrew responded that he had no
doubt Of Mr.. Harlan's personal 1ltness TOT
the position for which he had been named,
and added that he had no personal objection
to him. His opposition, he said, was based
on higher grounds. He then reclted the Iact
of the nominees relationship to Justice
Harlan, and declared that the nominal ion
is entirely out of place. in view of the fact
that important litigation affecting the
island to which Mr. Harlan is appointed is
now pending before the court OF Whlch the
father is a member
Il make no charge against the Supreme
Court" said Mr.. Pettigrew, but do say
that the appointment of the sons OF two OF
the members of that court to important po-
sitions under the administration at this
juncture of affairs in the Supreme Court is,
to say the least indecent.
He referred in this connection to the NOM
nation Of Justice McKennas son to the
office of major in the army, saying that in
giving him this place he had been promoted
over 11S other lieutenants and captains.
Mr.. Pettigrew also commented upon the re-
moyal of Mai. Harrison, son Of the EXPIRES
ident, intimatng that this action was occa-
stoned by the fact that the attitude OF Mr..
Harrison's father the question of our
relationship to our insuar possessions was
not in accord with the administration
course in those matters.
Mr. Pettigrew said he had no doubt that
Mr. Harlan would be confirmed, but he
added that a yea and nay vote would be
necessary. and for that reason it would be
necessary to have a quorum present when
the nomination should be acted upon.
Senator Foraker replied briefly, again re-
ferring to Mr.. Harlan's qualifications: and
expressing the opinion that the adminIstra-
ton would have the support of Justices
Harlan and McKenna without comforting
favors upon their families.
There was no quorum present, and the
Senate adjourned without action.
