The Gloom Of Spring.

'itten for The Evening Star by Plummer f. Jon
The sun shines warm this April day;
The apple trees are all a-bloom,
The lilacs yield faint perfume.
The robin sings his first rich lay,
The wasps steal out, the wild bee huns
And dives among the petals sweet,
And Ger a field Of growing wheat
A bobwhite's CHEEKY whistle comes
But, oh. my friend. cannot see
The glory, as when, in a glance,
In those old days of ignorance.
Your love made April bloom for no.
only see the Ieaden sky
That hangs above a barren plain;
only hear the dripping rain
And winds that moan and songs that die
only know that we must part;
i only feel that gloomy doubt
Which shuts the tender springtime out
And shuts the bleakness In my heart.
only hear some faint bood-byes,
And see far off, with simple grace,
A smile upon your quiet face,
An old remembrance in your eyes.
For me the myrtle wreath, the rue,
The plodding on a lonely way;
For you-how hard, o Lord to pray
For that which shuts me out from you!
And yet trust that near the tomb
Where my old hopes lie Numbering
For you the birds may always sing
And apple trees may ever bloom.

HlcKS-BEACH ANSWERS.
Denies ChamberIain's Claim That
British Trade Is Decayinq.

MANCHESTER, Eng, Nov. 5.-Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, formerly chan
cellor of the exchequer, addressing a
meeting of business men here today,
said retaliation was a method of deal
ing with unfair competition. He
therefore would not deal with that
part of the present fiscal controversy.
The great question was whether the
guiding principle of the customs tariff
Should be free imports or protection.
He rebutted Joseph ChamberIain's
claims that British trade was decaying.
The total amount of the trade Of
Great Britain had increased, he said,
and the growth of imports was evi-
dence of the increasing wealth of the
country. Nothing could be worse for
British industry, Sir Michael added,
than an attempt to make imports
dearer.
Abiding to Mr.. Chamberlain's char
acterization Of the leaders of the free
food party as little Englanders," Sir
Michael said he was wider imperial
ist than Mr.. Chamberlain. He had
preached the doctrine of a permanent
union Of the empire in England and
Canada thirty and forty years ago.
when Mr.. Chamberlain's policies did
not extend beyond Birmingham"
The speaker further said that he re-
fused to accept Mr.. ChamberIain's pol
icy, which, he believed, would injure
the United Kingdom and substitute
for the existing good will friction be-
tween Great Britain and her colonies.
He was not little Highlander" but,
on the contrary, he considered the well
fare Of the empire as whole.

1t Is now considered doubtful whether

The Chinese are more enraged at
the Russian proceedings at Mukden
than they have been by any events
since the capture of Pekin. Some of
the hot-headed members of the council
have advised the dowager empress to
declare war on Russia and send
troops to release the Tartar general,
whose detention at Mukden, growing
out of the decapitation Of the Chinese
bandit who had enlisted in the Russian
service but who fell into the hands of
the Chinese after the Russians had
evacuated Mukden, wounds Chinese
susceptibilities, since it is considered
to be not only an insult to a high Off
cial but as insulting to the Chinese
government It's If. Better Informed
officials. however, realize the helpless
ness of China and the madness of at
tempting to go to war with Russia.
Their counsels have hitherto prevailed,

Rumors were rife yesterday of a
contest of Tuesdays election by de-

ballots voted were not in accordance
with the state law, which they claim
requires the names of candidates of
both parties to be alternated. The
tickets used here were all alike, one
candidate being at the head on all.
County attorney Nethaway has given
an opinion that the election was lille
gal, but others contend the election was
legal and that it was not necessary to
alternate the names.
