In Memory q Samuel Hurreli

COMPANY r. Seventy eighth Regi.
ment. Ohio Volunteers, who died
March IL, 1855, and whose body lies
buried in the National Cemetery at
Annapolis. Nd
One winter morn saw q rose.
A white rose blooming in the snow,
AS pale as death BY q grave it grows
With fragrance sweeter than earthly
rose
That white rose blows in the giisten-
ing snow.
As fair il blooms as it bloomed of yore
On a winter morn long. long ago,
When the land had rest from q cruel
war,
And the soldiers friends this tribute
bore
To him who lay IN the grave below.
Methinks that once that rose was red.
Before it bloomed above the dead,
A new blown, rich-red jacqueminot--
Symbol of the abundant life
That thro' the soldiers vein did how.
But that was many years ago;
And he who plucked the rose so red.
And turned it white above the dead,
The cunning hand that carved the rose
Laid down the chisel long ago.
Nor do l think it was in grief
That skillfuI hand turned petals white.
And changed TO marble each green leaf
And carved q bud beside the rose
His was the seer's inner light.
Still blooms the rose in solemn joy;
But OH ! the bud beside the rose
A child there was, the soldiers boy,
Within his heart enshrined-who
knows
Still blooms the rose in solemn joy.
He dared to fall, he dared to die,
To brave neglect. which to the brave
Comes ZEN in death and Knocks the
grave
The nostril fierce and piercing eye
Forgotten are when cold they lie.
But what are death and human woes
They are the souls intenser JOY
And what is love of child and wife
But that intenser love, that life
That knows no death Still blooms
the rose.

TO GUST PRESIDENT SHEA
Formal Removal Of Chicago Strike
Leader Is Decided Upon-No
Appeal for Him.

Chicago. June %. - Formal removal
of International President G. P. Shea
of the Brotherhood of Transfers, has
been decided upon by the international
executive board. The anti-Shea lead
ers in this committee practically have
voted to depose the leader. A trial"
has been held and President Shea has
been found guilty of violating the con-
stitution and by laws of the transfers
organization. There is no appeal from
the action of the international commit
tee. 1t is planned to announce the find
ing of guilty" soon and to declare the
Office of president vacant until Shea IS
successor shall be elected at Philadel.
phia in August.
The specific charge of calling a strike
contrary to the constitution and max
ing expenditures of the brotherhood ;;
money contrary to the terms of the con-
stitution and bylaws. is what President
Shea was tried" upon.
Chicago, June 27.-Peace terms of.
fered by the employers were rejected
Monday night by an almost unanimous
vote by two locals of the striking team
sters. These locals not only refused to
accept the terms offered to them, but
hooted the members of the strike COM
mittee who appeared to present them.
The two locals were those of the depart
ment stores and the express drivers.

GERMANY.s REPLY.
Sends a Note to France Declining to
Outline Programme for Mo-
roccan Conference.

Berlin, June 28.-The German an
swer to the French note on the subject
of the proposed Moroccan conference
was sent to Paris Monday. A high OIL
cial near Chancellor Won Buelow is
informed that the German note, walie
perfectly amicable in form, insists
upon a conference and also declines to
comply with Frances request that Ger
many outline beforehand the pro-
gramme Of the conference.
The chancellor takes the standpoint
that the Moroccan question is an in
ternational affair and that Germany,
having accepted the sultan's invitation
to a conference on the subject, cannot
rightly agree with any single power as
to what can be discussed at the con-
ference. Germany insists that France
must agree to the conference before
any arrangements are made respect
ing the subject matter for discussion.
After France has agreed to this Ger
many is willing to listen to Frances
wishes.

MUST BE TREATED FAIRLY
President Orders Proper Regard for
Chinese Exempt from Inn
migration Laws.

Washington, June 26.-By direction
of President Roosevelt, action has been
taken by the administration which not
only will facilitate the landing in this
country of Chinese of the exempt
classes, but will also eliminate from
the emigration bureau such admins
trative features as have been the SUBJ
ject of criticism by Chinese. 1t is the
declared intention of the president to
see that Chinese merchants. travellers,
students and others of the exempt
classes shall have the same courtesy
shown them by officers of the immigra-
ton bureau as is accorded to citizens
of the most favored nation.
Representations have been made to
the president that, in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many Chi
nese seeking a landing in the United
States the commercial guilds of China
have determined to institute boycott
on American manufactures. The rep
reservations, backed by the authority
of the American Asiatic society and
commercial bodies throughout the
country, induced the president to make
an investigation of the situation with
a view to remedying the evils COM
planned of, if they were found to exist.
In addition to the presidents orders,
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
lions to the immigration officers which,
it is believed, will remedy the difficulty
heretofore complained of by the Chi
nese government and individuals. It
is anticipated that the prompt action
taken by this government to meet the
objections made by the Chinese will
eliminate the, possibility of serious
trade difficulties between China and the
manufacturers of this country.
