Thy rod seems heavy, yet, my God,
Thyname I'll ever bless.
NY Saviour ever kind to me-

Does he forbid my wounded hear
To love my Aubrey, too?
Can he be dead? Or has dream
My throbbing brain beguiied;
Or shall in this world again
No more behold my childg
In the golden fields beyond the tomb,
There will my darling dwell
A flower Of immortal bloom.
Now, Aubrey, dear, farewell

On that eternal shore,
Where loved ones, parted here below,
Shall meet to part no more.

Toward the silent grave,
Where sleeps the one love so dear;
The one could not save.
Go not far in the land of light;
Wait awhile at the golden gate,
Lest | should lose you out Of sight;
Wait, my darling, wait.

The venezuelan Blue Book.

In the Venezuelan blue book just pub
lished the State Department discovered
a letter written by British Consul Hag-
gard to the home Office. He insinuated
that Secretary Russell, of the American
legation at Caracas, had been forced by
Minister Bowen TO constructiyely tell a
lie. The subject was the condition OF
the Harry Troop, a British ship cap
tured by the Venezuelans. Complaint
had been made that it was in filthy
condition. Russell said that it had been
cleaned up. Secretary Hay noticed
the letter and called to it the attention
of the British government through Am
bassador Choate. The home Office apol-
ozized in nearly the same language as
that used by Balfour today.
The Right Hon. Lord Balfour in the

Venezuela blue book to the notice Of

British ambassador at Washington has
cast on the members ofthe U. S. Legation
at Caracas. There reflections, said Lord
Balfour, had escaped his notice. Errors
of this kind, however regrettable, might
occur in any department when under
going any exceptionally hard strain Of
work. OF course, proper notice would
be taken of the matter, he added.

LEGISLATURE.


The merger clause in the bill proyid-
ing for carrying into effect the provisions
of the new constitution in regard 10 tne
corporation commission consumed tne
entire time of the Senate yesterday.
Mr.. Whitehead presented an amend
ment to prevent mergers, and Mr.. Oog,
bill presented an amendment to preveh'
a company operated by one motive power
acquiring the property of a parallel line
operated by another motive power. MI
Whitehead declared that he thought the
merger clause contrary to the federal
statutes. He warned the Senate OF the
Importance of this act, and told the
members of the body that certain features
of the measure were going to lie maze
very important issues in the next presl'
Dental campaign. Viewing the matter
from every standpoint, he was convinced
that the public interests could be oettel
served by proceeding slowly than BY
hurrying through the passage OF an &C
that might work ruin to the people o
the State by permitting railroad com
panies and other corporations to consoii

act went much further than the pro
vision of the New Jersey act in charter

Riots IN SIBERIA.-Letters received
at St. Petersburg from Tomsk, West
Siberia. describe the riots which occurred
there March 3. About 70 students, it
appears. attended a local court in con-
nection with SANDER case, and on
leaving were surrounded by the police.
The students broke through the Gordon

"Down with the autocracy y The num-
bers of those taking part in the demon
STATIONS where increased to some three
thousand persons, and the situation be-
came so alarming that the chief OF police
barricaded the bridge and summoned
reiniorcements. The governor, Prince
Viasemsky, arrived on the scene and
ordered the rioters to be attacked. Some
of them we're beaten, and the whole
body of rioters were finally overcome.
Seventy-six men were confined in the
courtyards of the police station, where,
it is claimed, they were much abused.
DR.. Schlechter and a lawyer named
Voznesensky, who demonstrated with
the police, were seriously injured. A
petition to the president of the Tomsk
Bar Association, signed by every lawyer
in the city, corroborates this account,
and declares that the maltreatment OF
the prisoners was needless and wilful.
The students met again March 4, pro-
tested against the treatment the rioters
had been subjected to, and marched
through the streets, their ranks being
augmented by 5OOsympathizers carrying
red flags and making revolutionary dem
onstrations. Vice Governor Delwig

SECRETARY Roof, as stated yester-
day, has smothered the charges brought
nv Estes G.. Rathbone against Gen.
Wood. Mr.. Root is quite an arbitrary
gentleman and possibly had the right to
so dispose of the matter, especially as
Rathbone deserves little consideration
having been convicted of embezzlement
and confined in prison, but still as
Rathbone specified his serious charges
many people think it would have
been better for Gen. Woods repn-
tation for the Secretary to have ordered
a court of inquiry to investigate the
charges; or still better for Gen. Wood to
have demanded an investigation. There
is a lurking suspicion that the manage
ment of Cuban affairs by officers OF this
government was corrupt from beginning
to end and that a stirring up OF the mat
ter might involve many more than nave
already been mentioned; hence the
smothering.

better preserved, the student body of

ton in their place of a more elevated
standard of class work during the ses-

AN EXCITING TRIP.-Mrs. Clarence
H. Mackey and her baby daughter, born
Sunday after an exciting railroad and
coach ride, were reported in excellent
health Yesterday in the Mackey country
home, near Roslyn, Long Island. Mrs.
Mackey had remained to the last at the

ferryboat and a special train had been
ordered in waiting for several hours.
When Mrs. Duer was pronounced dead
by the physicians Mrs. Mackey was placed
in a fast automobile at the hotel and was
hurried to the Thirty-fourth street ferry
in New York. There the machine was
run aboard the boat, which steamed
across the East river with all possible
speed. The automobile conveyed her to
the waiting special train, consisting OF
an engine aud private car. The spec
ial was given a clear track, and the ofiic-
ials of the road had given orders to get
Mrs. lIackey to Roslyn as quick as the
engine would take her. A racing auto
mobile awaited the train at the Roslyn
station, and Mrs. Mackey was given a
comfortable seat in this, and when she
was securely wrapped in furs and yelled
the start was made for the Mackey coun-
try place, where physicians were in wait
ing. In the afternoon the ACCOMPLISHMENT
took place, and the little girl Is said to
be remarkably fine baby. Mrs. Mack
ey stood the excitement well and yester'
day was reported to benone the worse foI
