If Your Ship Came In.

Z your ship came in to-day
II the ship for which you yearn
When the sea at dawn is gray.
When the waves at sunset burn,
II 1t swung to harbor now
With its sails dropped WearyWise--
Would the sea not lose, somehow,
Half its glory to your eyes?
II your ship no more should sail
Up and down the distant deeps,
Racing with the rushing gale
Where the jade green billow leaps,
II 1t should no longer drift
Where the calm sea stretches blue
And the dim horizons lift
Would the sea seem fair to you?
Ho Your ship-if il came in
All majestic. full of grace,
And you heard the haWser spin
AS the anchor sank to place,
II its vOyaging were done
And the cargo all were yours
Would the sea, by moon or sun
Hold for you its hopes and lures?
II your ship came in to-day
And you knew that all you dreamed
Now at last In harbOr lay
All as perfect as IL seemed,
You would envy those who wait
Ready for the joyous hail,
Those who watch with hearts eIate
For the flashing Of SAIL

hind.
Russia's proposition, submitted to
Great Britain through Ambassador
Benckendorff, declares that the En-
perOr, being DESTROYS of shedding the
fullest light on the North Sea incident,
proposes that the whole question be
submitted to scrupulous investigation
by an international tribunal. Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff. after his audi
ence with the Emperor, yesterday al
ternon officially informed Ambassa-
dor Hardinge of the character of the
Russian proposal, no direct reply be-
ing given to Great Britain's PROPOSE
ton. 1t is simply question now OF
which government will have the hon
or of offering a solution, the principle
Of which both have decided upon, the
outcome Of this appearing unimport-
ant.
The British proposal also provided
for the representation of other powers
besides Russia and Great Britain on
