THE VAMPIRE.

This poem was inspired by Sir PHILIP
|BurneJones' celebrated painting.
A fool there was, and he made his
prayer
(Even as you and ID
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hail
eve called her the who did not
care),
But the fool he called her his lady fail
Gwen as you and y.
o, the years we waste and the Tears
we waste,
And the work of our head and hant
Belong to the woman who did not
know
(And now we know that she neve
could know,
And did not understand.
A fool there was and his goods he
spent
Gwen as you and y.
Honor and faith and a sure intent
(And It wasn't the least that the lady
meant,
But a fool must follow his natural bent
Gwen as you and y.
o. the toll we lost, and the spoil we
lost,
And the excellent things we planned
Belong to the woman who didn't know
why
(And now we know she never knew
why),
And did not understand.
And the fool was stripped to his foolish
Gwen as you and ~,
Which she might have seen when she
threw him aside
(But it isn't on record the lady tried
So some of him lived, but the most of
him died.
And it isn't the shame, and it isn't the
blame
That stings like a white-hot brand,
It's the coming to know that she never
knew why
(Seeing at last she could never know
WHY,
And never could understand.

THE HELLO GIRL.

"A girlless telephone" oh, say.
Hello. Hello. How's this?
And can it be that we must come
At lost, alas! to this?
A phone without a hello girl"
Would be a poor affair.
Fen though she ruffles us at times
Until We (almost) swear!
Despite her faults we live to list
Unto her soft Hello"
Then pity take, we men of wires
Avert this final blow!
Don't rob us of the one bright ray
Amid life's telephone whirl-
Take anything else you will, but spar
Oh, spare the hello grill"

PLANS MODIFIED
Macedonians See the Uselessness of
Insurrection. .

' Sofia, April 16.--It is thought unlikely
that European Intervention can be OBJ
tanned by means of a rising unless whole
sale massacres take place, and the lead
ers apparently shrink from such a. pros
pect. Consequently it has been determined
to prosecute a guerrilla warfare and de-
tached bands will fall upon isolated bod
les of Turkish troops and when possible
interrupt communications by blowing up
railway bridges and stations.
+ In this way it is thought that the cause
Of Macedonian freedom will be promoted
more effectively and with less sacrifice
than by a general insurrection.
...~'. Powers viii Not Be Drawn In.
Sorrento, April 16.-Count Won Buelow,
the chancellor Of Germany said: :,
''The European situation is excellent.
There Is the Balkan question:, of course,

All the leading figures in the Northern
Securities company and the attorneys in
the case characterize as absurd" and
"ridicuous' the report Of the intended
descent upon Washington. 1t was pointed
out that the attorney general would be
powerless, even If he were so disposed, to
compromise a court decision.
1t was further pointed out that if an
appeal is not taken the decision Of the
circuit court of appeals will stand as
final, and thereafter be quoted as ap-
proved law. the same as tho the supreme
court had acted.

district attorney there to oppose any

New London, Conn.,, April 16.-The Min
nesota was launched at 2:15 p. IN.
AS the last remaining link that held the
ship to its place on the ways Was sew
cred, Miss Mill broke a. bottle of wine
over the steel bow and named the craft
Minnesota. "
With a gliding movement, barely per-
ceptible at first, the vast mass of steel,
weighing thousands of tons, started down
the ways, and gathering speed rapidly,
plunged into the water with a wave under
her stern that seriously threatened the
safety Of hundreds of small craft in the
harbor.
Although her momentum seemed suffi-'
cient to carry her far over to the other
side of the wide harbor, the precautions
taken to slacken her speed were sufficient
to bring her to a standstill within a mile
Of the Croton shore. Tugs then took her
in tow and she was guided to a dock.
After the launching luncheon was
served to the guests of the ship building
company in the mold loft Of the yard.
i New London, Conn, April 16.---Final
preparations for the launching of the
Minnesota were Begun early to day at the
yard Of the Eastern Ship Build
ing sompany in Groton, the entire
force being busted in knocking away the
heavy blocking, and getting every last de-
tail in readiness for the initial plunge Of
the big ship into the water. 49,
While the preliminary work was going
on thousands of people from various van
tage points watched the labors Of the men
and viewed the immense proportions of
the Minnesota and her sister. vessel, the
Dakota which is to be launched a few
months hence.
Every trolley car from Norwich, We
hicles from the suburban districts and
special trains on the New York, New Ha.
ven & Hartford road brought loads of
spectators, and by II o'clock the streets
bore the appearance of university boat
race day.
The weather was cloudy. A stiff north
east gale was blowing and the air was
chilly enough to make heavy coats de-
sirable.
It was estimated that there We're fully
10000 visitors in town during the morn
ing. The steam yacht Wacouta, bearing
President James j.. Hill Of the Great
Northern Steamship company and party
arrived early in the day after a tempes-
tuous sound trip from New York. Miss

Charles Nelson Mass lin the .-sweat box
for nearly an houIsfhis morning and was
made to account for his actions from
Monday morning until he was arrested in
Minneapolis. He told of wandering about
Owatonna all day Monday, but denied
being in the vicinItY lof the scene of the
murder. He. acknowledges that he and
his brother visited his parents about
o'clock in the afternoon and this part of
the story corresponds with that told by
Sutton, who claims that he waited for
them on the railroad track and that soon
after they came back they met and
killed Krier. Nelson says that he spent
the day in company with his brother and
when Henry was asked to go over the
same ground, the stories did not agree in
a single detail. Nelson claims that he
first heard of Krier,s death when he
reached Medford on his way to Faribault.
At that time he acknowledges remarking
to his companions that he supposed they
would be, suspected of committing the
crime. 81: &zEfssrEst' E.

Other Systems Follow Suit.

In principle. all the great systems Of
the country are following hard upon the
example set by Mr.. Hill. Pennsylvania
includes in it's community Of interest to-
day, Baltimore & Ohio. Norfolk & West
ern, G. & o.. Reading, and a dozen
smaller roads. Rock Island has become
great thru the combination Of many scat
tered roads. Frisco has grown to be a
giant thru the same principle. New York
Central likewise. Canadian Pacific too,
has learned the lesson
The fruit Of the genius Of Mr.. Hill is
written the records Of the commerce
Of the country in the figures that repre-
sent the cost Of carrying a bushel Of grain
from Seattle to New York or bale of
silk from Vancouver to Montreal as COM
pared with the figure that represented the
cost of the same transportation fifteen
years ago. There can be no going back.

ARE THEY AFTER
THE COAL TRUST?
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion Calls Hearing Next
:: Week in New York.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Washington, April 16.-Many people
here believe that the administration pro-
poses to bring the coal. trust to account
for its sins at once, and that the coal
roads will be made to feel the full effect
of the interstate commerce act and the
penalties of the Sherman antitrust law.
This, they say, is the meaning of writs
Of subpoena issued and hearing called
for next week at New York by the inter-
state commerce commission.
It has often been stated that the roads
have violated the law in the granting of
rebates, in failing to publish their rates,
in agreeing to suppress competition and in
other ways Some Of these charges were
amply supported in the hearings before
the arbitration board. .-. ...
Now it is proposed to have official in
formation for the guidance of the inter-
state commerce commission in the en-
forcement of the Ekins law.
If there is any evidence tending to show
a conspiracy in restraint Of trade, that
will be brought out and referred to the
attorney general with recommendations
for the enforcement of the criminal penal
ties. H. G. Stevens.

of hope for their future in "the land Of

Of their treatment in the voyage out. The

is something like $50. On the very first
night out from England deputation
waited on the captain Of the ship asking
to be taken back to the port of embark

sengers crammed into the third class ac-
con1modation, which, they complain, was
exceedingly bad. Many of them had ap-
