Washington, Special.-Admiral En-
quist will not be allowed to repair his
ships at Minila. This Government has
decided that as the injuries to the YES
sells were not caused by either sea or
storm they will be obliged to refuse
permission for the vessels to be re-
paired there.
Secretary Taft cabled the following
instructions to Governor Wright, at
Manila, regarding the ships:
thine cannot be given for the repairs
or injuries received in battle. There
fore the vessels cannot be repaired I'M
less interned until the end Of HOSTILE
ties"
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. It is stated by Secretary
Taft that if the Russian vessels agreed
to leave Manila in their present condi-
ton they were welcome to do so, but
as it did not appear that they had suf-
fered from any damage caused by sea
or storm. this Government was
obliged to AXE the position above out
lined.

slightest favoritism in the matter, and
everything possible will be lone for
the comfort of the wounded Russians.

Chicago, Special.-Cornelius P. Shea,
president of the International Brother
hood of Transfers, and leader in the
strike which has existed in Chicago
and taken to Jail Monday night. With
him on the journey from the saloon in
which he was arrested to the office of
the sheriff, and then to the Jail, was
Hugh MacGee, president of the Truck
Drivers Union. Both men were taken
into custody On capiases issued on in
dictments charging them with conspir-
.. acy, which were voted by the grand
Jury that adjourned last Saturday
nj yht. When arrested, Shea lost his
temper completely and denounced the
sheriff and all his works in emphatic
language. He was told by the sheriff
that he would be given all necessary
time to procure bondsmen. but that
he would lie taken to Jail at once I'M
less he moderated his manner of talk
ing.
Shea again broke into violent Ian
guage, and the sheriff, turning to Depu-
ties Honan and Wilson, commanded
them to take Shea to Jail Immediately.
Shea saw that he had gone too far,
and attempted to say something to the
sheriff but the deputies took him quick
ly into hall and from there to the
street, where they hailed a cab and
conveyed him to Jail. President Mac
Gee followed in another cab, and in a
few minutes the men were inside the
jail. Both were searched, according to
the usual custom, by Jailer Whitman
and were then taken to cells and lock-
ed up.
After being a prisoner for a little
more than two hours, both Shea and
MacGee were released, their attorneys
having procured bonds, which were ap-
proved by Judge Tuthill.

"This order exists to perpetuate
memories of a patriotism and devotion

pared with others about us.
"The safety of our country depends
largely upon our young men, native
paredness: and recent world-events
impress this the more upon us; and
we know Of no better way to inspire
Our young men than to have them

Matter Rests With Enquist.

st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Both the
Foreign Office and the Admiralty say
the decision whether to disarm the
three Russian cruisers at Manila or
effect repairs there and endeavor to
reach a Russian port, was left in Ad-
mlral's Enquist's hands, to determine
according to his best judgment. Lit
tie doubt was felt that the cruisers
would be interned until the end OF
the war, as before the repairs which
Enquist cables are imperative could
be effected, a Japanese squadron
would be off Corregidor Island, wait
:ng to capture or sink them.

dren because Of the parental RESPONSE
bilities they wear" said the man With
a couple of Youngsters. "Close OBJ
seryation and experience have taught
me that disobedience, 50 far from being
offensive, is sometimes a virtue, a
virtue because of its cleverness and
because of the evident good nature of
the breach. 1t would, in my Judgment,
be decidedly brutal in some circum-
stances to scold a child for disobedi-
ence. Disobedience should be offensive
only when intended as an offense. when
it is a Wilful and purposeful defiance
of the parental injunction. I have a
case in point which will illustrate per-
fectiy what I mean. My little girl is
very fond Of sausage. I thought she
had consumed enough for one sitting
and told her so. In a few seconds she
showed her head up under my arm.
Iapa, she SAID, With a mlScnleYOus
twinkle in her eye, let's play dog..' and
as she said it she threw out q chubby
hand and grabbed a piece of sausage
and dashed away with it, laughing as
if she thought it the finest joke of the
season. What could 1 do? Stop the
laughter by scolding, and suppress the
evident good nature of it all? She
lanked me and got away with the
goods, and since it was evident she
meant no o%ffense, no disrespect by her
disobedience, there was nothing for
me to do but accept the situation and
laugh and frolic in her dogs game With
her. And so 1 did. Wouldn't you act
in the same way when disobedience
is put forth in such sunshiny garb?"-

NATURES soFTENlNc TOUCHES.

Yet still the wilding flowers would blow
The golden leaves would fall,
The seasons come, the seasons go,
And God be good to all.
Above the graves the blackberry hung
1n>bloom and green it's wreath,
And harebeils swung as if they rung
The chimes of peace beneath.
The beauty nature loves to share,
The gifts she hath for all,
The common light, the common air,
O'ercrept the g~raveyard's wall
1t knew the glow of eventide,
The sunrise and the noon.
And glorifed and sanctifed
It slept beneath the moon.
With flowers or snowfakes for its sod,
Around the seasons ran.
And evermore the love Of God
Rebukcd the fear of man.
Secure on Gods all tender heart,
Alike rest great and small;
WHY fear to lose our little part,
When He is pledged for all?
o scarful heart and troubled brain.
Take hope and strength from this
That nature never hints in vain,
Nor prophesies amiss.
Her Wild birds sing the same sweet stave
Fer lights and airs are given
Alike to playground and the grave,
And over both is Heaven.
