with green grass and growing corn. From
the position assigned me, near the center
of Lees lines. both armies and the entire

magnificent to look upon, but the realization
OF what IL meant was deeply impressive.

ringing cheers OF approval from those
present, was as follows:
The question of its ability to protect
its working agreements is now a promi-

ity of a labor organization In the business

an arrangement that is acceptable 70 them

OF the labor contract Is In its infancy and

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Postmaster
General Payne and his predecessor. Charles
Emory Smith, tonight had an extended
conference relative to the charges Of s.
W. Tulloch, involving Mr.. Smith. Perry
s. Heath, r. j.. Tracewell and Fourth As
sistant General Bristow. 1t
was announced after the conference that
Smiths reply to the charges of Tul-
Ioch would be made public on Saturday.
Tulloch alleges that the men named had
been instrumental in calling off an investi-
cation made some years ago just as the
inspectors were about to strike pay dirt"
further that political pressure was the
cause of the suspension Of the inquiry. 1t
is learned that the statement of Perry s.
Heath, secretary Of the Republican national
and first assistant postmaster
general, is on the way to Washington.
Postmaster General Payne said tonight
the Tulloch incident would be closed when
the letter Of Mr.. Smith was given publicity.
1t is understood that the former postmas-
ter general will furnish proof which abb
solutely discredits the serious allegation
of Mr.. Tulloch. Mr.. Bristow, the fourth as
sistant, has submitted to the postmaster
general a statement which makes 1t a
question of veracity between himself and
Tulloch. Tulloch states that Mr.. Bristow
made a recommendation to Postmaster
General Smith that he be permitted to make
an Investigation of the first assistants
office when Perry Heath held the place.
Bristow states in the most emphatic Ian
guage that he made no such recommends
ton. Bristow will go into the matter In
more detail later when his time is not SO
fully occupied with the multitudinous de-
tails of the pending investigation.
There promises to be interesting dis
closures in the Postoffice Department in
the very near future.

condition and destiny-"thou fool" He
may not die this night; it may be
worse than that. He may live O. ana
sink deeper into his downy ease and
count his goods with more fatal pre-
sumption; each passing day the great
meanings of life and time may grow
fainter and fainter, until the very
sense of humanity-his own and that
OF others-dies out within him. If any
soul is ever lost, it is such a one.

company until 1890. He then became a
contracting painter.

said to the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press to-day:
His majesty has been pleased to
commit to my care one of the dearest
objects of his external policy, that of
extending our friendship with the
United States. This is for me a de-
lightful work. The circumstances of
each country place it beyond the ieal-
ousy and fear of the other, and we
nave at present good will, admiration
and respect to build upon. His majesty
so thoroughly appreciates the capa-
billtles of Americans; their fair and
brilliant women their genius; their
hVellness of disposition; the ease with
winch they do immense things, and
their loyalty to high aims, that nv
work will be facilitated in every wav
by his government.
Neither Prussia nor Germnay has
ever had diplomatic incident with
the United States. Once or twice a
portion of the people of one country.
not understanding the aims and mo-
tives of the other have given NAV to
unsympathetic feelings and suspicious.
certain German newspapers offended
the American people during the Span
Ism war, although the German gov
eminent preserved a perfectly correct
and neutral demeanor at that time.
IT has happened also that a portion
or the American press has attributed
to Germany unworthy aims in the
venezuelan dispute. 1 am happy to
say In behalf of my government that
we neither have nor ever have had any
purpose in connection with Venezuela
other than to protect German residents
there.
"One of my immediate duties. after
presenting my credentials, will be to
Join in the negotiations in Washington
for final understanding with Vene-
Zuela. Although this question is not
susceptible to instant settlement, Ger
many approaches it with most tolerant
views, since President Castro has
SHOWN willingness to recognize that
we have grounds for grievance. The
position of the controversy is such that
we may expect a conclusion satisfac-
tory to each government interested.
The Venezuelan affair will cause no
further difficulty If all the persons con-
cerned are of the Roosevelt type.
THE Monroe doctrine is an unwrit-
ten law with Americans, and President
Roosevelt interprets it, as he has on
several occasions emphasized to the
world, as measure making for peace,

"The almost constant sense of weari-
