tive Stumbling. block.

The Senate having finally disposed Of
the Philippine Government Bill. is now
fairly in the midst of the discussion of
the 1sthmian Canal. There are practic-
ally three propositions before the Senate;
First. the House Bill, substantially au-
thorizing the construction of the canal at
Nicaragua; second, the proposal to pur-
chase the French Concession at Panama
third, to pass substitute proposed by
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin,, shoulder
ing the whole responsibility upon the
President. authorizing him to purchase the
Panama Canal, provided there are no le-
gal difficulties. and in case there are.
TO begin the work of digging canal at
the other place.
The debate has been interesting and
able, but the years of discussion which
have ensued since the canal proposition
was first before Congress leaves little now
to be said. Senator Hanna. who wields
a great deal of influence in the Senate,
naturally. is in favor of the Panama
scheme. Senator Harris. of Kansas. who
is an engineer of recognized ability, is
vigorously opposing the Panama route as
impracticable and impossible from an en-
gineer's standpoint. OF course, Senator
Morgan stands as he has for a quarter of
a century, the stanch advocate of Mica
ragua.
1t is not expected that the debate will
continue indefinitely. but that a vote may
be reached comparatively early In fact,
the canal is not causing 50 much delay as
the raucusing upon the Cuban ReciprOc-
ity Bill. There are IS Senators on the
Republican side who have declared them
selves in opposition to the Reciprocity
proposition. The Administration support
ers believe that they could pass the bill
without them, but they do not wish 20
present spectacle of the divided party
in the Senate.
Almost daily consultation at the Capt.
tol and the White House are really re-
sponsible for the uncertainty as TO date
Of adjournment. for if this question were
out of the way, Congress would spend the
18th of July at home.
The House of Representatives spent
practically the whole of thee4past week
discussing the Anti-Anarchy Bill. which
it finally passed on Monday of this week
by vote of 10 to 3S. 1t is not the same
measure adopted by the Senate. but a
substitute. The prime object of the meas
ure is, as is well known, the protection of
the President of the United States and of
those who are in line for the succession.
The Bill eventually will go to conference
for an adjustment of differences between
the two Houses. The questions involved
are mostly of a legal character.

TIE FLAG.

By Rev. w. Lomax Childress, Stephen
City, Va.l
l saw the folds of beauty as the troops
were marching by,
The starry flag that bloOmed above, a
glory in the sky;
And many field was red again, and many
charge was made.
And life and love went out in death before
the fusillade.
And here the COntinentals marched, and
there the patriots stood,
At Valley Forge and Lexington, strong
Homeric brood;
And from the country and the town, where
God with freedom mates,
Like water poured the blood that sealed
the Union of the States.
And for a peoples wrongs that called be-
yond the stormy sea,
That banner doomed in battle still to her
aid liberty,
And still its bright folds dropped above
the throbbing drum that led
To where the hearts affection deeked the
green sward of the dead.
And watching, as the troops went by,
mine eyes were blurred with tears,
For the glory Of that flag came down
across a hundred years.
In equal rights and brotherhood country
strong and true
Was knit together meath it's folds of red,
and white, and blue.
Broad as the fellowship of man, and high
the hearts devotion,
And limitless in human love as is the
mighty ocean,
A banner of the stars to blaze without re-
spect to station,
A path to liberty and God for every land
and nation.

Hangs inside his study door;
just above 1t, worn and faded,
Is the old blue coat he wore
When he marched with dashing Sherman
From Atlanta to the Sea.
Meath the tatters of "Old Glory"
In the war to make men free.
Chorus
Yes, the old blue coat so faded,
Tells to me story true,
How soldier fought for freedom
When that dear cd coat was new
Shake the dust and smoothe the wrinkles
From the coat he used to wear;
Brush the cObwebs from the musket-
Lay them In his vacant chair;
Hark, the muffled drum Is beating,
There's sound Of trampling feet:
See. his aged comrades marching,
Clad In blue, adown the street.
They will strew his grave with flowers,
They will speak in whispers low
Sing again the songs of wartime,
As he sang them long lgo;
Now he answers to the rollcall
From that far-of spirit Shore
While We lay snow-white blossom
On the old blue coat he wore.

Escapes Autooraph Hunter.

Gabrielle D'Annunzio, the distin-
guished Italian writer, has been re-
ceiving during the last few months so
many requests for his autograph
from collectors and admirers not only
In Italy, but throughout Europe, that
he has at last grown tired of signing
his name and has adopted a novel
method OF notifying the public that
he is unable to comply with any such
requests in future. In the hotel at
Bologna where he is staying this no
tice may now be read: Gabrielle
D'Annunzio's right hand is injured
and therefore he regrets to say that
he cannot write his name in albums
or on postal cards." etc.
