Lai Of kIIrudden.

Lal Kilrudden with the flame red hair,
And the sea blue eyes that rove and dare,
And the open heart with never a care.
The nishtingales Of 1nishkill.
The rose that climbed the window sill.
The wind that roved and had his VIII,
And one white sail on the low sea hill.
Were all she knew of love.
So when the storm drove in that day,
And her lovers ship on the Lodges lay
An the cry was, Who'll go down the bay
With half Of the lifeboat crew away!
Who should push to the front and say,
II will be one. be others who may.
But Lal Of Kilrudden, born at sea?
The nightingales all night in the rain.
The rose that fell at her window pane,
And the scorn OF the wolfish pirate in
vain,
Quelling her great hot heart in vain.
Were all she knew Of death.
Kilrudden ford, Kilrudden dale.
Kilrudden ruined in the gale
That wrecked the coast of Inisfree.
And Lal's last bed the plunging sea.

The Willy Giraffe.

Perhaps the most difficult Of all wild
animals to capture is the giraffe. In
addition to being very rare, CRATES
are exceedingly timid and are very
swift-footed. There is no special way
to capture giraffe, as almost every
way has been tried, and all have been
almost equally unsuccessful. The
method which has occasionally re.
suited in a capture is by using long
cord at each end OF which ia a round
weight. This cord is thrown by the
hunter in such a manner as to wind
round the animals legs. either bring.
ing 1t to ground or rendering it in.
capable Of escaping before it is made
. prisoner. Most OF the giraffe- in
captivity have been caught by chance
when young.

MORGAN RAISES POINT
QUESTIONS POWERS OF MINIS
 TER THOMAS HERRAN,
Declares That Colombia is Under the Heel of a Dictator-Resolution
 Goes to Committee Af- ter Debate.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Senator Morgan, chairman of the Inter-oceanic Canal Committee, today offered in the Senate a resolution questioning the credentials of Thomas Herrap. Minister. of Colombia. who recently signed with Secretary Hay the isthmian canal treaty. The resolu- ton was considered by the Senate in exec utive session which lasted two hours. The resolution which MT. Morgan pre- scented follows:
 That the President is requested if 1t is not incompatible with the public in- terests to inform the Senate as to the alleged full powers of Senor Herran, who signed the treaty for Colombia that was sent to the Senate the 23rd of January 1903. for ratification, to negotiate and sign the same and that he send to the Senate a copy of the power of said negotiators."
 Senator Morgan spoke in support of his resolution, contending that the Colombian Government is practically in the hands of a dictator. He said that the Colom- bian Congress had not been in session for three or four years and insisted that this was vital for the reason that under the constitution of Colombia no power was vested in any authority except the Congress of the country to enter into 6 SOhli dCN dICCtlHB tHe treasury as the canal cession does.
 Senators Lodge, Foraker, Cullom, Han na and Bacon spoke briefly, most of them simply urging the refefence of the question to the Committee on Foreign Relations They did not enter into the discussion of the general question at is- sue beyond saying that to adopt the resolution would be to impeach the char acter of our treaty making officials and to. offend the government of Colombia.
 A motion was made to refer the resolu- tin to the Foreign Relations Committee. No one except Senator Morgan opposed the reference of the resolution to the Foreign Relations Committee and 1t was so ordered.

 Paris. Jan. 26-The French Govern ment is keeping fully advised in regard to the progress of the Venezuelan nego- tiations.
 The reports received indicate that con siderable friction arose at the first meet ing between Minister Bowen and the rep- resentatives of the allies. When MT. Bowen announced that President Castro expected them to raise the blockade as a. preliminary to further negotiations, the allies representatives replied that Presi- dent Castro was not in a position to lay down conditions Subsequently better feeling was established as the represen- tatives of the allies were satisfied that MT. IBowen's request was not in the na- ture of a demand
 It appears that Great Britain desires to raise the blockade. but asked as a pre- liminary for ten British ships seized on the ground that they carried arms to the revolutionists.
 The reports show several points of di- vergence between the German and Brit ish positions.

 to Go to Pay Debts.
 Washington, Jan. '2s.-The Associated Press has been informed that Minister Bowen, acting for Venezuela. in return for the raising of the blockade pledges 30 per cent of the receipts of tho ports of Porto Cabello and La Guaira. the same to be collected by a joint commission made up of one representative from each of the powers having claims against Vene- suela-
 There is no information in Washington to justify the positive statement con- tained in the Caracas dispatch that the Venezuelan blockade will be raised We'd nesday. Minister Bowen continues hope- fuI that such a happy consummatton will result from the pending negotiations as the latest proposition he had made to the allied governments is regarded by him as an eminently fair one He is still awaiting formal replies for that propo- sition from Great Britain and Germany aud on which will depend the question whether the bloclads Is to be raised.
 As indicated in a Rome dispatch re- ceived by the Associated Press tonight. the qtiestion now to be determined is the amount of the customs receipts which are to be given as a guarantee. Great Brit ain Is believed to be favorable to accept ing the 30 per cent offered by Minister Bowen, while Germany is supposed to be insisting of 50 per cent
 Minister Bowen declines to discuss the question in any of It's phases nor will he disclose what Is the actual amount of the guaranty he has offered.
 With the promptitude which has char acterized all It's actions in the present emergency the Italian Government has cabled to its fleet commander in Vene- zueldn waters to withdraw from the blockade as soon as the ships of the other powers do so. Information to this effect was received by the Italian Ambassador here today.
 Up to the close of the day formal notice of the acceptance of the proposi- ton had not come to Minister Bowen from the representatives of the allies however. However. such unofficial in- formation as reached Mir. Bowen con- firmed him in the belief that the pending controversy would be settled "soon and satisfactorily"
 The lifting of the blockade would not mean the complete withdrawal from American waters of the allies fleet and 1t is understood that not only will the. British-American fleet remain in it's ac customed winter quarters in the Carrib- bean, but that the German Government will depart from its ancient policy which has been to get along without station fleets and will continue the present squadron in American waters as a per- manent fleet.

 '"rhe recent changes In the White House have resulted in a building far more expensive to maintain than form erly. The character of the new fittings and new furnishings is such that re- pairs and replacing will be more expen- sive than before.

England First to Accent.

Berlin, Jan. zs.-The guarantee offered to the powers through Mir. Bowen is a portion of customs receipts of La Guaira and. perhaps. of several other ports. The proposal was first made to Great Brit ain which provisionally accepted it. and then to Germany. which accepted it in principle on Saturday. The allies are now engaged in examining the value of the guarantee offered. and are negotiat- ing details. like the form of payment.
 A question which Is being considered is whether the allies shall establish an international commission for receiving the customs or whether some neutral agent shall be appointed receiver If the latter course Is decided upon 1t is be- lieved that some American authority will be chosen. perhaps Mfr. Bowen.
 It Is still believed here that all the matters in dispute will be satisfactorily arranged at Washington without resort ing to The Hague arbitration court.

- - ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL.
Designed to Make Prohibition Laws

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Judiciary Committee of the House today favorably reported a bill to meet the conditions brought about by the original package decision of the Supreme Court which de- cision was in effect that the States, in the exercise of their public powers. could not interfere with the introduction of liquors in original packages. The decis- ion prevented the enforcement of prohib- itory laws enacted by various States. The biu seeks to correct this by subject ing intoxicating liquors imported from one State into anothS to the Jurisdiction of the laws of the State into which they are imported
