Turkey Disclaims Responsibility.
In reply to. Great Britain's repre-

which such commerce is liable.
Washington Posted
The state department at Washing

special attention to the legal aspect
Of the seizure Of contraband, and it
is thought Secretary Hay may con-
slider that the danger which menaces
American commerce passing thru the

declaration respecting the attitude of
America. This would be welcomed
by the foreign office here, which be-
lieves the principles actuating Amer

in a mood to welcome, some interna-

BEARS TENTATIVE REPLY
Russian Ambassador and LansdOWne
Hold a Conferences

Hold Conference.
London, July 21.--Theg Associated
Press learns that Count Benck endorff,
the Russian ambassador, at.a confer
ence with Secretary Lansdowne yes
terday afternoon, made what may be
considered to be a preliminary reply
to the British protest against the seiz-
ure of the steamer Malacca. He as
sured the foreign secretary that his
government had no intention Of in
fringing on the rights of Great Britain
or any other neutral power and that
if a mistake had been made in the
seizure Of the Malacca, unquestionably
the steamer will be Immediately re-
stored and damages would be paid.
The ambassador pointed out that it
was unreasonable to suppose that the
Malacca had been seized without good
grounds on the part of the COM
lieve that she had contra band on
board, and that unless this suspicion
was effectually disproved, the matter
would have to go before a prize court,
which procedure Great Britain her,
self follows. In the meantime Rus
STA would make full investigation in
order to establish definitely the
grounds on which the commander
acted.
The ambassador also Informed Lord
Lansdowne that he had telegraphed
the British protest to st. Petersburg,
and said it would receive the imme-
date attention of the czar and Count
Lamsdorff. Subsequently Count Benc-
kendorff Informed Lord LansdoWne
that inquiries were at once begun and
that a prompt reply would be made.
There is reason to believe that the
Russian authorities incline to the CON
clusion that the commander of the
ST. Petersburg made a grave mistake
in Selling the Malacca. This can be
established by his reports, which have
been telegraphed for, and if this opin-
ion IS confirmed orders will be tele-
graphed to release the Malacca.
Dardanelles Problem.
1t is said here that the question OF
1.-The passage Of the Dardanelles, which
|. Great Britain also has raised, doe.
not, in the minds Of both the British
4, and Russian diplomats, demand thu
| immediate attention which the Ma
Iacca incident requires. It is pointed
out here that the Russian position
generally is as follows:
The treaties regarding the Dardanelle
prohibit the passage of the straits b.
warships Russia has not intended t
violate this provision and has not asket
4 Turkey to do so. But the treaties d.
Enot forbid ships from traversing tn
straits with arms and munitions. Tur

From Sunshine Headquarters.

IL the world seems cold to you,
Kindle fires to warm it'll
Let their comfort hide from view
Winters that deform it.
Hearts as frozen as your own
To gather radiance gather;
You will soon forget TO moan,
"Ah, the cherries weather."
IF the worlds a wilderness,
Go build houses in It'll
Will it help your loneliness
On the winds to din it?
Raise a hut however slight;
Weeds and brambles smother;
And to roof and meal invite
Some ~forlorner brother.
If the worlds a vale of tears,
Smile till rainbows span it!
Breathe the love that life endears,
Clear of clouds to fan it!
Of your gladness lend a CLEAN
Unto souls that SILVER;
Show them how dark Sorrows stream
Blends with Hopes bright river!
Lucy Larcom.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-13

Whether this life shall be bright
with hope and a cheerful temper,
grand with high aims, beautiful with
loving deeds, radiant with good will
to all, is the possibility toward which
every soul can climb spite of the
hindrances of circumstances of in
h~eritance.
The radiation of kind thoughts will
bring a return of kind thoughts to-
ward us.
That all the world is a stage, and
all men are actors, is true. But it
is equally true that every individual
soul has a life in itself into which
no other can enter, and which can
not be acted upon the worlds stage.
The great purpose Of each is to
learn what is in as. Life is an i'm
measurable opportunity to grow the
individual.
Once having learned the might
ness of life, it is puerile and childish
to be whimseyed about by trifing an
noyances.
Though it may seem at first glance
cruel, it is not so, but a truly friend
ly thought, when one sees people
making themselves wretched over
trifes not worth being vexed about,
that it would be well for them to
experience some real trial, hardship
OF trouble. Till ones powers of soul
are called upon to meet a genuine
tribulation the mind fails usually to
estimate reasonably the various per-
plexities, annoyances and difficulties
of ife.
We are so busy with our own af-
fairs of life that we fail often to
grasp the thought that "dark sor-
rows stream blends with hopes
bright river" and much less take time
or trouble to impress this very help
full thought upon our neighbors.

busy that I cannot give you a report

the bankruptcy cases with which it
leads. The number OF failures record
ed last year was higher than It had
been since 1894. and in some of the

They may be sometimes explained by
