the difference between love and FORCE
said: Force is the hammer which can
break a block of ice into a thousand
pieces, but leaves each piece still ice'
while love is the ray of sunlight which,
though acting more slowly and silently
melts the ice. Love is not stupid says
Tolstoy. 1t makes known to us our duty
to our fellows and 1t will some day rule
the world. Force is the weapon of the
animal in us; after it comes money
which the intellect employs, sometimes
for good, sometimes for harm. But
greater than all is love, the weapon OF
the heart. 1t is a sword that never rusts'
neither does it break, and the oun that
1t leaves are life-saving, not Hfe-destroy-
ing. No armor can withstand it and no
ago can resist it. But why try to
define his love or to measure its scope?
Paul. the apostle, in his first epistle to
the Corinthians, describes it in language
to which nothing can be added and from
which nothing can be taken. Let his
words suffice.

smaller packages the charges are all the

THE WORK AT PANAMA.

The Chicago Chronicle has a Washing
ton special giving the views of an Amer
lean engineer just up from Panama, on
the canal. He says that the work done
by the French ompany was mostly use
less; that the machinery ordered by
the French was old fashioned even
when ordered years ago, and is worth
less; that all the value received was the
Panama railroad and right of way; that
the French paid little attention to SAM
tation and consequently suffered i'm
mensely from sickness He believes,
though, that the revised plan is entirely
feasible; that IL the laborers can be Sc
cured the canal should be completed in
four years.
The labor question is a great trouble.
Jamaica negroes, but the Jamaican gov
eminent has i~nterposed such conditions
that 1t is practically impossible to get

They are considering now the feasibil-

the Porto Rico laborer is not much good.
One would think that the colored men
of our own Gulf States would be sought
after. The colored regiment that was
here and which helped storm San Juan
Hill, were not affected by the Cuban cli-
mate.
After the fighting was over in Cub and
the white regiments were so generally
stricken with fever the colored regiment
became nurses for the whites. If such
men could be recruited for the work on
the isthmus, and in the contract they
would agree ito accept the same disci-
pl,ne, SO far as regular hours for work,
for eating and for sleep, as soldiers are
subjected to. then with the isthmus prop
erly drained and cleansed, and competent
physicians employed to look after the
men. the work should be carried on with
reasonable expedition. After trying half
a dozen races the Panama railroad was
finally finished by Maine Yankees.

CONVENTION RESULTS IN A SPLIT
Illinois Democrats Indulge in a Lively

DR.. Martin Gushing, chairman of the demo-
cratic county committee, was knocked down

During consideration of the post office
bill yesterday MIR. Moon eTenn), the rank
ing minority member of the post office
committee. dfsavowing any political pur-
pose, in view of the evidence at hand, urged
1t to be the duty of the House to look
closely into the affairs of the Post Office
Department. The system of administra-
ton, he said, was weak and upon investi-
cation by a committee report might be
submitted which would enable revision
and strengthening of the system. The
slime" he said, which had been found in
one department may have permeated other
branches. He said that the names of 100
members had been linked with the wrong
doing in the Post Office Department, not
justly, he said, except in very few cases,
but he asked how would this be viewed.
He eXonerated the republicans from any
desire to protect wrongdoers in office, but
said they We're derelict in not providing

Russo-Japanese conflict was made today in

Foster announced that "a new field and
horse artillery gun had been adopted.
The secretary added that it would be I'M

ture would commence in April. 1t was
hoped to complete los field guns and eigh-
teen horse artillery guns during the finan-
cial year. Practically the whole of the first
years supply of the new guns would be
sent to India. which was the only possible
place of contact with a great European
army and the place where long ranges
were common. The guns would fire 1Sk

Seek to Know About Contraband Coal
Answering question in the house of
commons today, Premier Balfour said the
government considered that Russia's dec
laration that she proposed to treat coal as
contraband of war was of the greatest i'm
portance.
The premier added that he was aware
that the Russian plenipotentiary at the
West African conference held at Berlin in
December. 1884. in relation to the neutrali-
zation of the Congo, declared Russia never
would accept Interpretation that coal
should be considered by international law
as contraband of war. and. that his govern
ment would categorically refuse to consent
to recognize coal as contraband, either in
relation to the Congo or any other district
whatever.
In view of this Mr.. Balfour concluded
the British government was taking steps to
obtain more precise information in regard
to the Interpretation of the Russian decla-
ration respecting contraband of war.

Jap Success Would Hurt Trade.

Concerning the effect of the war the rail-
road representatives are strongly inclined
to the belief that American interests will
best be served by Russian success. They
point out that Russia gave a single order
for 100000 of American railroad supplies
and assert that Russian success promises a
continuance and extension of the de-
mand for American supplies whereas ia
pan has not drawn largely on American
railroad equipment
The head of one of the largest railroad
concerns in America, now here, says he be-
lieves the success of the Japanese would
prove a serious detriment to American
trade, particularly the railroad industry,
which thus far has taken important
part in the development of the far east.
