From Life.

From Life.
(Supposed to have been written by
Walt Whitman.)
A song of the automobile! A carol of
the festive Red Devil! A yodel of
the google eyed chauffeur sitting
aplomb in the midst of devastation!
A chant of speeds, tires, tonneaus,
spark plugs, poppet valves, collet
pins, high clutches, this shall be my
morning romanzai
See the locomokokomobile scooting
through my poem! The Waft and
aura of gasolene floating through
my morning romanza,
The squawk and scatter of chickens,
the squeal of the old rooster who
didn't jump quick enough.
See! The robust Manhattanese, attired
in the usual costume, agile, elusive,
profane just at present, getting out
of the road for dear life! The use
- leSsness of the protests of the apop-
lectic old lady!
See! The overcurious calf standing in
the middle of the road; the dog,
imprudent, unforeseeing: the two
instantly transformed into veal or
sausage.
Allons, mes enfants! Whoopl
See! The festive chauffeur, rampant,
chantant, jubilant, moving the lever
to let the speed out another notch!
Libertad!
See the wagon, the horses rearing and
plunging! He is upon them. Crash
That was a good onei The friendly
and flowing rustic, where is he?
I am not only the poet of the chauffeur:
I do not decline to be the poet of
the COD also.
See the suburban cop standing, ready to
pinch those who break the speed
laws! The locomokoko furious ar
irving, the chauffeur refusing to
stop; the jigger enraged. shooting
the tire of the car; the tire pune
tured, the Red Devil stopped.
See the cop dragging the chauffeur be-
fore police Judge; the judge i'm
posing a fine; the chauffeur, reluc-
tant paying it.
Justitia, ma femme, salute you! l
perceive that once in awhile you
get there with both feet

CANADA CLIMBING DOWN.

CANADA NLlMhlN0 DOh Ne
It has been a little amusing to watch
Canada in the act of climbing down
from her high horse in the Alaska
boundary matter. About the time the
Joint High Commission was appointed
to discuss the matter of the western
dividing line between the United States
and the Dominion of Canada the Ca
nadians were declaring that they had
an impregnable case, so clear and
strong that it would convince any
tribunal; all they desired was a chance
to, get the facts before a court hav-
ing power to settle the question. Then,
when the case was opened before the
commission in London. Canada was
sure her claims were as solid as rock.
but the fear was expressed that the
imperial government, in an endeavor
to curry favor with the United States,
might sacrifice the Dominion in the
interest of international politics. Some
three weeks ago a Canadian newspaper
regarded as a government organ said
that. while the Dominion had believed
us ease lllipLCS IL AAiA5AAN &C.,
been mistaken. and if it were defeated
in the boundary matter it would not
be because the Dominion had been
betrayed but because it's case was not
so clear and strong as had been sup
posed The same paper some days
later printed London dispatch in
which it was stated that Lord Alver-
stone had intimated that the United
States had proved their claim and that
he would vote with the American COM
missioners. His vote would settle the
controversy on the side of the Ameri-
can contention.
Thus we see that Canada has climb
ed down, anticipating a verdict against
her. But she has not done it as grace
fully as could be wished. She has hit
with bump that has made her sore.
1t was no fault of ours, but she is
vexed with us because of it. Mr.. Gour-
ley, a member of the Canadian Parlia-
ment, a few days ago made a speech
in which he declared: mo maritime
people will ever permit neighboring
country to own a thin line of 400 miles
of its coast and if the United States
will not sell us that territory for a
decent sum of money, the day will come
when we will take it, in spite of all of
the. resources that the United States
can raise against US. While 1 am an
imperialist and while I am in love with
England and the English people, 1 have
nothing but reprobation for stupid
iackdaws who gave away 400 miles of
our, coast line on the Pacific"
, Mr. Gourley realizes that the terri
tory in question is rightfutly American,
so he blames the "jackdaws" of Eng
land who failed to buy it when 1t was
for sale, and proposes that now, since
Canada has lost her chance of acquir-
ing. it from Russia, and should try to
buy 1t from the United States; and
failing in that. that she should fight
for it! That is highly amusing, in
view of the fact that it assumes Great
Britain would support Canada in
kicking against the award of a legally
constituted arbitration tribunal sitting
in London.

The City Council is to be commend
ed for having determined to grant no
more petitions for rights to erect wood
en- structures within the fire limits.
There has, of course, been the ordi-
nance against such buildings going
up in the fire district, but it has not
been strictly enforced. Now that the
determination has been reached, it
should not be abandoned. Certain
members of the body have always held
decided views upon this matter, and
not infrequently permission to erect
wooden structures within the fire
limits has only been granted over their
protests. Mayor Myers has long ad-
vocated a stop to the granting of such
petitions. AS rule, Council has ad-
hered rather rigidly to the ordinance,
but there have been attractions. The
right plan has been adopted, however,
and no exceptions should be made.
Then precedents cannot be urged by
petitioners. The safety of the city is
too important a matter to be hazarded
by the erection of some structure de-
sired mainly because of its cheapness.
The general veal, as represented in
lower insurance rates, and greater
safety from CONGREGATIONS, is rather
to be considered than the difference
to an individual property owner in the
cost of a wooden and brick build

pears that there is some basis of
compromise that is being considered
by the two governments, and that a
peaceful agreement will be reached:
Japan is credited with a desire to
fight; that is, her army and navy want
to fight. But England does not want
to see an open breach, because it
might involve her as the ally of Ja
pan. France, too, is on the side Of
peace. Russia doesn't care to go to
war and will not do so except in the
unlocked for extremity of the failure
of diplomatic negotiations to confirm
her in her occupation of Manchuria.

The taking Of testimony in the contest over the
will and codicil Of the late George w. Donohue,
Commissioner Of Education during the administra-
ton Of Mayor Van Wyck. began yesterday before
Surrogate Church in Brooklyn. Mr.. Donohue in
herited from his father considerable estate which
at his death amounted to $4,000 in real estate and
go in personal property. He left all his reslduary

at the time of the execution of the codic and was
with him up to his death,
Mr. Donohue died from cerebral apoplexy and
cerebral softening, and afflicted with locomotor
ataxia Mrs. Stewart contests the codicil on the
ground that Mr. Douohue was incompetent to make

codicil. testified that Mr.. Donohue was OF sound
mind and in fairly good physical condition when he

Dir. Wyndham,s Concession Insures
Measures Success.

London. June pas forecasted in these dis
patches yesterday. the resumption of the de-
cate IN the House Of Commons to-day on the
Irlsh Land bill was marked by the introduction
oy Mr.. Wyndham, Chief Secretary for Ireland
OF an amendment designed to remove the diff
Guilty In regard 70 the retention in the first
clause OF provision for a minimum price at
winch tenants may purchase their holdings and
permitting bargains to be made outside of the
judicial zones
Inc amendment is hailed on all sides as being
great concession. John Redmond the Irish
leader, declared Mr.. wyndham had saved the
OIL and the amendment was agreed to amid
cheers and general congratulations. Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman the Liberal leader Joined
IA the congratulations on the spirit of concilia-
uon prevailing, and the modified clause was
adopted without a division
Mr.. Wyndham also agreed to an extension of
the limit of the advances to be made to pur-
Sshhasers of agricultural farms from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The debate on the bill tonight was decided
love feast. The evening was spent in the sub
mission of amendments by the Nationalist mem
bers, which were debated in an amicable spirit
and then withdrawn without division.
After the dinner recess William OBrien pre-
sented an amendment putting the evicted ten
ants upon an equality with the existing tenants.
he declared that the clause it stood looked
like a deliberate policy CT vengeance toward
the eVlcted tenants, and the acceptance of the
amendment would be a message to Ireland. Nr
Wyndham promised to deal with the evicted
enants under Clause As. and said he would dou-
be the amount Of the advance that the evicted
tenants c5Uld get Mr.. Redmond said the ad-
vance TO the evicted tenants was satisfactory.
but the rejection of the amendment would leave
