Early Rising.
From sleep divorced he rose,

From sleep divorced he rose,
The east in radiance glows:
Clouds sailing through the azure here aud
there.
And the beauty filled his eye,
While he gave a soul-felt sigh
For the sluggard who had missed the braciDg
air.
He stood enraptured long,
And his soul went out in song
To the universal cause of such delight
II pity him, >" he said,
In his enervating bed.
The somnolent, unappreciate wight"
1.-The cause, my soul, the cause Z"
He shouted with applause,
While his mind into ether winged its wav.
Teach me thy power 20 feel.
Fill me with fervent zeal
To descant upon the pearly coueh Of day"
He turned and went inside
With an air quite glorifed-
He would lecture all the household, great and
small;
Expatiate on the sight
Ofday's farewell to night
How health-giying early rising wss 10 all.
But he finished with a sneeze,
And something in his knees
Caused momentary changing of his plan.
Malaria came at length
And his much exhausted strength
Closed his lectures as an early rising man.

A Change of Attitude.

st. Petersburg, April THE news
paper Russ, which stands well with the
Foreign Office, today reproves its con-
temporaries for attacking America. The
paper says that Germany is the only
serious enemy of tie Russians. "When
the japanese have received their deserts"
continues Russ, "Russia will do we'll to
examine the points of divergence between
herself aud England and America, as
France has done. England will then see
that there is no conflict of interests, and
that there is every reason why there
should be friendship with Russia" Russ
was formerly one of the most bi tier
attackers ofthe Auglo-Saxons.

CONGRESSIONAL

After waiting with much patience for
many days, Mr.. Hepburn yesterday found
opportunity to speak to the Senate on the
subject of pure food. Technically, the
speech was in support Of resolution
calling upon the Secretary of Agriculture
TO send to the Senate the results of the in
yestigation made by his department in
to adulterated foods, but in reality it was
in support of the pure food bill. The
greater part Of the remainder of the day
was devoted to the consideration of Mr..
Quarles' amendment for grading the
salaries of rural free delivery carriers,
and it was then declared out Of order.
The committee amendment bearing upon
the salaries of carriers and regulating
their service for private individuals was
accepted.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
still before the Senate whenit adjourned
till today.
In fye-hour session the House passed
seventeen bills relating to the District of
Columbia, including one Incorporating
the Carnegie Institute; passed the Bow
man bill, carrying approximately $685.
900 for the payment of small claims
agreed to the conference report on the
Notifications bill, and insisted on its
disagreement to an amendment in the
bill providing for the purchase of sub
marine boat.
The Alaska delegate bill was taken up.
Mr.. Cushman, of Washington, opened
the discussion with lengthy explanation
of the measure, setting out the necessities
Of the territory in the way of representa-
ton in Congress.

Alleged Attempt on AIfonso's Life

Madrid, April An official despatch
received here from Barcelona says that
as King Alfonso was leaving the building
in which the labor exhibition is being
held, the explosion of a petard was heard.
At first it was believed an attempt had
been made on his majesty's life. When
matters quieted down, it was found that
two persons had been injured. A man
thought to know something of the explo-
sion was placed under arrest. The dis
patch adds that the popular reception
granted the King was, contrary to expec-
tatiOns, most enthusiastic.
London, April Tho Spanish En-
bassy here has no word of the reported
explosion at Barcelona in which King
Alfonso's life was endangered. The Reu-
ter Telegram Company marks their dis
patch official but the Embassy doubts its
authenticity.

THERE was an unusual and ahumiliat
ing spectacle in the United States Cour
in St. Louis yesterday when a United
States Senator stood up before the bench
and was sentenced to serve six months
in Jail and to pay a fine OF 81, 800 FOL
using his influence before the Postoffct
DEPARTMENT in behalf of the Rialto Grain
and Securities Company of st. Louis,
get-rich quick concern, and for having
received payment from the company for
his services. A bill of exceptions was
fled and the accused was admitted to
bail in the sum of $4,000. If the
verdict is sustained Senator Burton will
not only lose his seat in the Senate, but
will be forever prohibited from holding
any Office of public trust. His term
does not expire for two years. The
evidence showed that he bad accepted q
sum of money for his services as general
counsel of the Rialto Company while it
was under postal scrutiny. This is the
first time that Unitor States Senator
has been convicted of crime, and is
the first conviction under the statute Of
1864 fcrbidding Congressman to act as
ATTORNEYS in any business in which the
government is interested. The statute
under which he was prosecuted was
passed to prevent just such prostitution
of influence as he practiced. He ac-
cepted pay to protect specializing con-
Germ against which the postal authorities
were proceeding, and correspondence be-
tween him and his clients showed that
he was using his influence to prevent
the issuance of a fraud order. Thus
Rnrton. A member of one branch of the
government, was acting in opposition to
another branch. Technically, lie was
giving legal advice in return for his re-
tainer; actually, he was using his in
fluence and authority as Senator to
obstruct the law. An ofense so con-
trary to the principles OF justice and
good government carries its own con-
domination, and there is no wonder that
'the conviction sent a shudder through
the entire United States Senate The
members of that body might we'll feel a
tremor of indignation and revulsion at
the spectacle Of one of their number in
The shadow of a federal prison. The
Odium Of his fall is upon him alone, yet
they cannot but resent the stain put
upon the reputation of the chamber.
Even should he escape punishment in a
new trial the Senate would be obliged TO
take up the case, and there could be no
other result of an investigation than his
expulsion.

New York stock Market.

New York, April 7, IL a. m.--The
stock market opened generally stronger,
but later developed considerable irregu-
larity. Fluctuating, except in particular
issues, were not wide and transactions
were almost wholly of professional
character, and confined to the board room
traders. The recessions in prices, which
set in after the first half hour, carried
values in several instances back to the
closing quotations of yesterday.

MANY people in this city have reason
to believe that considerable commercial
activity will mark Alexandria's history
during the present year, as well as Tor
several Others which are to follow. They
argue logically, and call attention to the
fact that new banking institutions have
been installed here by far-seeing practical
men who must anticipate business sufii-
cient to recompense them for their enter
prise Alexandria has been for several
years undergoing a slow but healthy
growth, and this year considerable money
will necessarily be spent here, as the
sums to be disbursed by the railway com
panies in purposed improvements will
be enormous. Besides, this work will
bring many people to this section, and
this city will naturally become the base
of supplies. Preparations to meet this
influx are nowi in progress, and in short
time busy scenes will be visible i'll and
around the city.

ury itself to the verge of bankruptcy and
ruin. A similar charge was made IN
Congress few days ago when a demo-
cratic member propounded the pertinent
question: "Who produced the panic OF
1873. the edge of which was not turned
until twelve years later when Grover
Cleveland was iuaugurated President"
The question has not been answered. A
specimen of the gush and wild enthusiasm
of Pennsylvania republicans is aPny
illustrated by another plank which is
not only ridiculous but disgusting when
applied tn a man who now occupies the
presidential chair by reason of an assas-
sins bullet and who has ever travelled on
a small capital. Here it is:
In Theodore Roosevelt, soldier and
statesman. author and scholar, equal
friend of labor and of capital, vigorous
and impartial executive, protector OF tne
down srodden and terror of the evil Door,
We have Presidential whom we are just
ly proud and whose wise and benehcen.
administration we heartily endorse ana
desire to have continued.
The following utterance is cross De-
tween the bloody shirt, expansion, ca
iolery of the executive and bait for ex-
soldiers:
We again acknowledge with grateful
hearts the Indebtedness OF the republic
to the unsurpassed bravery and valor OF
our soldiers and sailors in the war OF the
rebellion, and in our Spanish-Amerlcan
war, and also Philippine war. We symPa-
thize with our veterans in the intlrmlties

sion ruling recently made by order OF the
President and commend to Congress such
other appropriate legislation as may be
necessary to care for their increasing

A disOrdered stomach may cause no

to perform its functions the bowels be-
come deranged, THE liver and kidneys

COLONEL LAMPINC PUTS UP A
JOB ON THE ENEMY'S FORCES

BY adopting the tactics of General
Forrest, one OF the noted cavalry
leaders of the civil war, Colonel
Lamping, in command of the Second
Washington, was the only one who
was successful in his task Of taking
his company through a hostile coun-
try without meeting Overwhelming
defeat at the hands Of the enemy in
the maneuyers at American lake yes
terday
General Forests ruse, which he
worked successfully many times,
consisted in sending a squad armed
with six-shooters to certain point,
with orders to make all the noise
they could. This they would do, and
the enemy In consequence would
think that General Forests whole
command was opening on them from
that point. Accordingly he would
dispatch his own main force TO meet
IT, while General Forrest would qui-
etly sneak his main body on the fed
eral flank and proceed to shoot them
up.
Something very similar is just
what Colonel Lamping did. He sent
Major Lennon off to the left with

COLORED MEN
ASK FOR WORK

BY request of Rev r. J. Davidson,
pastor of Olivet Baptist church, a
number of colored men met at the
church last night to consider the
conditions surrounding the colored
men with reference TO getting em-
ployment in Tacoma. Addresses were
delivered by Rev J. A. Nelson, Lewis
Chase, John Green, H G. Rice j. X.
Hawkins, George t. Hackley and
Rev. Davidson.
IT was stated, among other things,
that many employers of labor refuse
to employ negro men, while in many
instances white men will not work
along with negroes, thus forcing en-
ployers 10 discriminate against the
colored men
Resolutions were passed asking
contractors and other employers OF
labor to give the negro a chance to
earn living the same as the white
man. An appeal Is also made to
white laboring men to aid the ne
groes by not refusing TO work with
them.

RUMOR OF BIG PRICE OFFERED
FOR NORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS

Interest in the tide-land deals was
stimulated today when the report
was circulated that an offer of $4,000
an acre had been made to the North
ern Pacific for a piece Of tide-land
south of the Eleventh street bridge
and east Of the city waterway. The
tract contains about 10 acres. All
though the matter was talked of
among real estate men, very little
appears to be known OF the matter
outside of the mere rumor. AT the
Northern Pacific land Office the offi-
cials claimed to have no knowledge
Of the deal.
The Standard Oil company has had
its eye on this tract for some time,
and that fact lends color to the
rumor. About a year ago this com
pany offered the Northern Pacific
$4,000 an acre for part of the tract,
but the railroad company would not
part with the land at that figure.
Although there has not been much
stir over railroad matters lately, op-
tions are still being quietly secured
on tide-hat tracts. Agents said TO
be representing railroad interests are
taking options on every piece OF that
land that is for sale, and the situ-
alton today is regarded as more IA

Employment Bureau.
Members of the Trades Council ex-
pressed themselves as much gratified
over the successful termination of
the efforts of the council to estab-
lisb a free employment bureau in
Tacoma. Believing that such an in
stitution would be of great benefit to
the laboring classes in general, the
Trades Council took up the matter
several months ago and has pushed
the project continuously 1t was ow-
ing to the influence of the council
that both political parties adopted
a plant last spring favoring a free
employment bureau. The same in
fiuence was responsible for getting
the ordinance authorizing the estab-
lishment of the bureau through the
council.
When the board of employment
bureau commissioners met last night
to organize, delegation from the
Trades Council was present and pre-
sented the name of j. ]. Hicks as
the counoL's candidate for manager
- the bureau.
