IN THE CLOVER eLossoma

Let's rest here in Clover deep! Vain regret and care will keep! Woo the sky with all its blue, Simmer of the sunshine, too! Song of river, laugh of child, Humblest thing that ever smiled; Steep the soul and bathe the feet In the Clover blossoms sweet! Let's forget all weary thingsl Woo the blossoms and the wings Where the bending azure meets Argosies of silver fleets! All the World is full of joy, Take 1t as a child it's toy bling its fever and unrest Down to the deep ocean breast Of life's yesterdays. To-day Gods glad promises hold sway, In the rivers rush and ken Of the happy hearts of men! Woo the sky with all it's blue Simmer of the sunshine, too; Steep the soul and bathe the feet. In the Clover blossoms sweet! Wading in the Clover sea
 We'll clasp hands with memory! Let her lead us swift along By the golden chain of song; Leaning, list'ning the refrain Of the Robins trill again! An, the voices loved of yore, aav not thav will coma m moral Speaking with us as 'tis meet Mid the Clover blossoms sweet; 1ney've forgot the angels kiss. Knowing only that we miss Tender tones we called our own On the throne of love and home! So we steep our souls to-day In the blossoms OCT the way. E. s. l.. Thompson in the Transcrir

 Her heart beat warmly a his words. First of all," he said, when they had found a seat, "I want to ask you what man should do who is utterly lost, so far as the world would judge, yet who believes that he might still be redeemed by his love for woman who is to him as a star of hope to one who-who has lost his way" She looked at him wonderingly. Of whom was he speaking? "A child" he went on, thinks as l those among whom 1t is brought up | teach 1t to think.

He will be met at the prison gates by a woman whom he loves, who loves him and they will go away together, he and she, caring nothing at all for the rest of the world. and in a country which knows them not she will help him to start again"

SENDS A MESSAGE
PRESIDENT WANTS ACTION ON
EXPORT TRADE SCHEME.
PROVIDES FOR SPECIAL AGENTS
They Are to BE Known as CONNER
cial Attaches and Are to Suggest
Changes In Business Methods after
Looking over Various Countries.

WASHINGTON-The president sent
a message to the senate recommend
ing favorable action upon sugges.
ton made by Assistant Secretary
Loomis for cooperation by the De-
partments of State and Commerce
and Labor in collecting information
concerning trade conditions in foreign
countries. The president recommends
that provision be made for the APP
pointment of six special agents to be
called commercial attaches, who shall
visit the different countries and make
a study of industrial conditions with
a view of suggesting notifications
and changes in the existing plans of
our foreign commerce.
Mr. Loomis, in explaining the plan,
said that this plan can be put into
execution at a very small cost, in
fact he places the cost of the test at
$4,000 per annum. Six commercial
attaches or special agents will be snf-
flcient to inaugurate the movement.
They would be allowed salaries at
$5,OOO per annum and travelling eN-
penses and would be assigned, one to
cover Austria, the Balkan states, Ger
many, Switzerland, Russia and other
countries of northern Europe; one for
France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and
other countries bordering on the Medi-
terranean; a third for Great Britain
and dependencies; the fourth for
Mexico, Central America, the West
Indies and South America; the fifth
for Asia, more particularly Asiatic
Russia, China and Japan, and the
sixth to be held in reserve for special
service in any part of the world. 1t
Is not proposed that these attaches
should have fixed residence at any
particular capital, but that they may
be transferred from point to point.

LONG CALM MAY BE BROKEN
kuropatkin Thought to Be Planning
an Important Move.

ST. INTERESTINGLY war Office
does not admit that the appearance
of General Mistchenko's cavalry south
west of Lao Yang is more than an
expedition designed to strike the rail
road at several points and interrupt
the transportation of General Nogi's
guns from Port Arthur to Manchuria,
but from certain indications it seems
possible that it is preliminary to an
operation of magnitude. General Mist
chenko has over 10000 horsemen and,
moving rapidly, might be able to seri-
ously damage communications in the
rear of Lao Yang.
The tone of dispatches from some
Russian correspondents vaguely hints
at very important developments and
the writer of the Novoe Vremya ex-
presses the opinion that the long calm
since the battle of Shakhe is about
to be broken. 1t is also noteworthy
that there have been no official dis
patches from General Kuropatkin for
two days.

JAPS ENTER CITY.
Victorious Army in Possession OF
Port Arthur.

TOIN F%IAliLls
Headquarters Third Japanese Army
at Port Arthur-The victorious army
Sunday formally entered Port Arthur
General Nogi, with his staff, entered
first through the old town and took
his stand in the public square OF the
new town. The army was represented
by one regiment from each brigade.
The procession, which was five miles
long, was three hours passing the
saluting base, after which the troops
passed out of the city through the
new town. The correspondents then
visited the captured city for the first
time. The old town buildings were
badly smashed by shells, but in the
new town the damage was slight All
the shipping in the harbor was badly
damaged by shell fire, the warships
being practically useless, owing to the
injuries they had sustained by shells.
Proposals for the surrender of Port
Arthur were first made December 20
at a council of war. General Stoessel
was in favor of surrender, but some
of his general officers were bitterly op-
posed to it. The regimental officers
and the troops were not consulted.
The first news they had of the sur
render was January 1, after General
Stoessel had communicated with the
Japanese.
The scenes following the surrender
were disgraceful. Drunken soldiers

their officers. Many of them destroyed
the guns upon the positions they had
defended and came into the city with
out permission. The infantry loudly
protested that the fortress had been
given away. They threw their rifles
and ammunition into the harbor and
proceeded to break into warehouses
and loot and drink vodka until In a
helpless condition. 1t was evident that
the surrender was not necessary, as
there were $1,000 effective men in the
fortress. The supply of ammunition was
short, but it was not exhausted. Food
was scarce, but private stores were
not requisitioned by the military.
There is no difficulty in getting good
meals in the city even without stores
in private warehouses.
1t was the opinion of the non-com-
batants at Port Arthur that the sur
render was unnecessary, as the troops
were able and willing to fight to the
bitter end. General Stoessel was much
blamed for what was characterized as
a disgraCeful conclusion Of a splendid
defense which ended with the death
of Major General Kondratenko who
was loved by the soldiers and was the
life of the defense.
Memorial services were held in
honor of the spirits of the Japanese
dead, upon the plain north of the viii
lage of Shuishi a snort distance from
Port Arthur. Regiments representing
the entire Japanese army were pres.
ent. A shrine was erected on the crest
of small hill and the troops formed
a circle around it. General Nogi and
his staff were present. Lunch was
served afterwards in the open to all
the officers present. 1t was a splendid
spectacle.

GENERAL sToEssEL TALKS.
Correspondent Has an Interview With
Him,

Him.
LONDON-The correspondent at
Nagasaki of the Express has had an
interesting interview with General
Stoessel, in the course of which the
general says:
The capitulation occurring on New
Years day was merely an incident.
The loss of 203-Meter hill and the
subsequent capture of forts, combined
with the deadly craftsmanship with
the terrible eleven-inch shells, the de-
pressing effect of the death Of Gener-
al Kondratenko and the fearful in
crease of scurvy, really fixed the time
of Capitulation. 1t is quite untrue that
| dissented from the unanimous deci-
sion of the final council of war Our
final urgent request for relief was
never answered.
"As regards parole, distinctly dis
couraged any concerted action. Every
officer decided for himself. Generally
commanding officers stuck with their
men and chose imprisonment. Most OF
the naval officers also chose captivity,
many probably being influenced by
the fear OF impending court martial"
The correspondent adds that con-
versation with other Russian officers
reveals great bitterness against Ad-
miral Alexieff for his failure to prop
erly fortily Port Arthur and "his
cowardly flight" by the last train from
the fortress.
They say the torpedo boat destroy
ers that escaped tefore the surrender
carried all the regimental and naval
colors to Chez Foo The junior officers
denounce the incapacity and folly of
the government in entering upon the
war and declare that all the men who
return to Russia from Port Arthur are
revolutionists in spirit. These opin-
ions were openly expressed in the
presence of General Stoessel, who re-
marked:
Let them talk; they have earned
the right to think as they please by
Drawing untold deaths for our coun-
try"

Chicago. The Missouri Pacific and
other roads. which it is alleged by the
Board of Trade, have been diyerting

given that the eastern and western
roads will meet soon and agree to
abandon the Mississippi river as a

sWAYNE IMPEACHMENT CASE.

WASHINGTON The important
work before the house of representa-

the Swayne case. 1t cannot be fore
told just how much time will be con-
sumed before a conclusion is reach
ed, as there are number of mem
bers who desire to speak on the sub
ject before action is taken on the
articles of impeachment reported by
the select committee. AS this is a
question of the highest privilege it
will have precedence over all other
business undisposed Of Monday being
suspension day, the probability is that
some time will be given to the con.
sideration of minor business under
suspension of rules, after which argu-
ment will be resumed on the Swayne

CHICAGO GETTING SCARED.
Because Grain is Going Abroad by
Southern Route.

CHICAGO-The Chronicle today
says:
Diversion Of grain shipments from
Omaha and Kansas City to European
ports via western lines, through New
Orleans, Galveston and other gulf
ports, is being inquired into by the
interstate commerce commission. The
commission will try to learn whether
secret rebates are responsible for the
diversion of western grain shipments
from Atlantic ports via Chicago to
the gulf ports.
1t is claimed that the use of the
special rate, which is less than the
normal tariff, has been directly re-
sponsible for shipments of corn
amounting TO over 100000 bushels
from Omaha and Kansas City by local
and Omaha grain shippers by way of
New Orleans instead of Chicago and

HOMESTEAD BILL HEARING.
Fate Of Martin Measure Depends on
Working of kinkaid Bill.

WASHINGTON-The successful
working out of the so-called Kinkaid
DILL giving homesteaders GAO acres of
land in the west section of Nebraska
will be factor with the house COM
mittee on public lands in determin-
ing whether the Martin bill, now be.
fore it, giving $40 acres in large
section of South Dakota, should be-
come a law. The committee has
been having hearings on this mea-
sure, as well as similar ones intro
duced for Montana and Colorado
Senators Gamble and Kittredge and
Congressman Burke of the South Da-
kota delegation We're before the COM
mittee. Senator Gamble made the
principal speech for the delegation,
urging the passage of the Martin bill.
He stated that the lands included in
the great Sioux reservation had been
opened for settlement for fifteen
years, while the Black Hills cession
had been subject of entry for twenty
four years. These lands in all
amount to about 100000 acres, lit
tie of which had ever been entered
upon. He contended that under the
bill the land could be taken advan-
tageously and this great region set,
tied and occupied. He showed that
$40 acres was not disportionate, as in
early days settlers had the right to
enter upon 4S0 acres under the home
stead, timber culture and pre-emp.
ton clause the latter having since
been repealed
