March After All

You ale just the same old March
after all. Your debut was charm.
ing You smiled upon us beauti'
fully, and YOU kept on smiling un.
til real broad grin over spread
your countenance. Yes you were
"A warm mem Der, real "gOody,
goody," but while you gently pat
ted US on the cheek with your
zephry hreezes, we kept an eye OIL
you, all the while looking for some
thing to "bust." But you kept on,
right stright along, acting so nice
ly, smiling so sweetly, patting us
SO gently. that even the most skep'
tical amongst us began to have
faith in you.
Many had arrived at the point OF
swearing by you wher, as an evil
dence of your good faith you
brought us pretty flowers and
green grass for the COW, which had
of hay 50 long partaken that il was
all partook. Notwithstanding all
this there were few who remain
ed dubious and handled you very
gingerly until they had safely cod
died you past the equinox, and
then when you didn't swat US a
very hard one, we all with one ac-
cord said, March, You are a brick. "
But, now, what have you gone
and done? Spoiled the whole
thing, so you have. Just at the
time when you were closing up
your race and all eyes were turn
ed on you with an unwavering con-
hdence that you would maintain or
even surpass your splendid record;
Just at the time when you were ex-
pected to impart some of your lately
acquired gentleness and zephryness
to your successor. the fearful. warm
hearted April, you went square
back on everything and showed,
you did.
There is no use talking, you
won't do. BY nature you are "a
regular splutterer. To you prop
erly bong the equinox storm, the
robin storm, the blue bird stol M
the snow bird storm, and a few
more on general principals, and it
you don't hand them out one at a
time, you dump the whole business
in heap.
You've just got to unload, and
there's no use in your trying to
edge in your fancy work to try to
make false impressions.
No. March, you are broken
stick. Hundreds who sung thy
praise have changed their tune to,
II told YOU So" but you brought
it all on yourself by trying to sail
under false colors. You are just
March, after all. Yet we thank
you for your flowers and the COW
thanks you for her grass.
Our hot bed | fear will take a chill,
| fear it will. it will;
So blanket oyer it | slipity slip,
To keep it from taking the gripity

ATTACKS on DELcAssE.

Foreisn Policy.

Paris. March 10.-The Chamber Of Deputies

interpretations on the foreign policy OF the gov"
ernment. to which Minister Delcasse VIII reply
tomorrow. The Nationalist Deputy, Lucien
Millevoye, opened the debate by review OF
the whole International action on the part OF
France for thirty years past. He argued that
the armed peace of Europe originated in two
great errors-the treaties Of Frankfort and Ber-

lance between France, Italy and Spain, ana at

speaker blamed France for watching In silence
the massacre OF the Armenianss and expressed
the hope that she would not observe the same
attitude toward the Macedonian question.
Georges Berry, Conservative, interpellated the
government on events in Macedonia. The Sui
tan, he said. had been promising reforms since
1882 and the government should have taken
the opportunity when the French meet mace
its demonstration at Mitylene OF Insisting on the
execution Of these reforms.

co, where, he argued. the interests OF France
demanded that other power should De al

was settled. he continued, France should set
about making peaceful conquest Of the coun-

BLOCKADE OF THE ORIN0C0.
Fear That It Will Lead to Further Inter"
national Complications.

Washington, March 10-Detatls OF the conoi-
tious OF the blockade Of the Orinoco River. de-
clared by President Castro on March Z. have
been received at the State Department. II Is
provided that the following terms OF entry shall
hold for vessels dispatched for the blockaded
ports after the decree has been communicated
to the various governments: Steamships from
Europe one month: sailing vessels, two months;
steamships from the United States, fifteen Gays;
sailing vessels. one month: vessels from the
West indies whether steamers or sailing vessels
shall have ten days. with the exception OF those
from Trinidad and Grenada. which shall have
only two days
The Orinoco blockade Is receiving careful at
tention from officials here as 1t is realized that
in it lies the possibility Of further international
complications. Great Britain has already indi-
Gated that she will not recognize the blockade
and Germany and other countries probably Will
follow the same course the general ground
that, Venezuela having no navy, it is impossible
for her to blockade any Of her ports effectively.
On the other hand, the United States, If the
blockade is found to be effective, will promptly
recognize 1t and insist that it's terms be COM
piled with. This move by the Washington gov
ernment probably will be strongly contested by
certain American steamship interests In Ven
ezuela. It is on Great Britain however. that
the blockade will fall most heavily because of
the great amount OF British trade on the upper
Orinoco
