SECURED ONLY PROMISE.
Governor Not Ready to Send Troops to
 the strike.

Springfield, IL, May 4.-At the close of a conference lasting nearly three hours between Governor Deneen and a committee of ten Chicago business men at the prospect of a military regiment being called into service at Chicago seemed as far away as 1t did this morning, when 1t was practically as- sured that only a decided change for the worse could bring about such a condition. It was stated In the Cover nor's office this morning that Mayor Dunne and Chief O'NeiI had both as- sured the Governor that they had the situation well in hand and that no troops were needed and that unless something happened to change Cover nor Deneen's opinion there was little prospect of his calling them Into ser vice.
 It was believed by the employers that the statements they made to Gov ernor Deneen this afternoon and even- ing would materially change his opin- ion but the best the committee secured was a promise to investigate the sit nation thoroughly Till then. 1t was explained. the Governor refused to enrnnit himaelf

Warsaw, May 4-(4:05 D. m.)-At business and street trafic practically ceased at noon. The offices and stores are closed and have their shutters up. Some of the houses are barricaa3d- A few merchants who tried to keep open were visited by pickets of workmen who ordered them to shut their places of business immediately. Neasly all the street cars have stopped running and the cab service is entirely sus- pended. Many cabs earlier in the day were stopped by parties of youths who compelled their occupants to alight, Tn some instances forcibly throwing them out of the vehicles. and then ordered the drivers to go home. Immense crowds have gone to Brudno cemetery. where the victims of Mondays shoot ings are buried.
 Disturbances occurred in several parts of the city this morning and an extension of the troubles appears in- minent. In the Wola district work men forcibly stopped the street cars and cabs and Cossacks were sum- moned. 4 man in the crowd fired a revolver and wounded a soldier
 The social democrats appear deter mined to enforce their manifesto pro- claiming a general strike and .he ob- seryation of today as a day of mourn ing for the victims of the May day dts turbances. No newspaper appeared this morning.

 Washington. May 4.--J. R. Patter- son, father of Nan Patterson. today tel egraphed his family concerning the re- suit of the jury's deliberations n the Patterson case, adding an expresston or belief that the former show girl ly would be at liberty to return nome. Mrs. J. Edward Taylor. sister of Miss Patterson said today:
 "I feel that the defense in Mamie case did wrong in not presenting any evidence in this trial. Knowing as we do that she is innocent, it seems to me that the better way would have been to put forward all the evidence possi- ble found"
 Mrs. Taylor said she did not Know what steps were contemplated but sup posed that there would be nominal bail and then a failure to try the case again. Tt Is terrible to think that she could not have been acauitted- con- tinued Mrs. Taylor, when We know the truth But, of course. suppose II might have been worse. We comfort mamma by telling her that Mamie will be back soon, anyhow and, after all that IS what we want"
 Mrs. Taylor said she thought her sister had borne up wonderfully well "I don't see how she ever stood 1t as she has," she remarked. Tt has been terrible-more of a persecution than q prosecution" Mrs. Taylor said that her mother was in a serious nervous condition from which she probably would never recover until Nan re- turned.

May 1.-The identification Of the warships sighted by the steamer Elangor in the straits of Malacca this morninR as Rear Admiral NeoogatoH division of Admiral Rojestvensky snuadron Is considered liable to de- velop an interesting situation. Jusras ofY where the division was seen, Is town of the state of Selangor, which is a British protectorate and Is not Tar distant from the point where Rus- sian division was sighted as long ago as April 27. It is not yet known whether the Russian warships are within territorial waters or whether they are obtaining supplies from neigh boring land. x.

 St. Petersburg, May 4.--Aithough tho foreign office contends that Japan has given ample provocation by repeated violations to warrant Russia to disre- gard the neutrality of China, the As sociated Press Is informed that Russia has no intention of taking sucn posi- ton oficially, and that she Will com tlnue as long as possible to consider China neutral.

CuisIe Geal Mo Chroidhe.
Air-"Gradh mo Chroidhe."
The long. long-wished for hour hae
come.
And come, mo stor, in vain!
And left thee but the wailing hum
OF sorrow and of pain.
My light of life. my lonely love.
Thy portion, sure, must be,
Mans scorn below, Gods wrath above
A chuisle geal mo chroidhe!
Twas told of thee. the world around
Twas hoped for thee by all.
That, with one gallant, sun-warc
bound,
Thou'dst burst long ages thrall.
Thy faith was tried, alas! and those
Who perilled all for thee.
Were cursed and branded as thy foes
A chuisle geal mo chroidhe!
What fate is thine, unhappy Isle!
When even the trusted few
Should pay thee back with hate anc
guile
When most they should be true!
Twas not thy strength or spirit
failed;
Or those who'd die for thee,
Who loved thee truly, have mo-
quailed,
A chuisle geal mo chroidhe!
I've given thee manhood's early prime
And boyhood's wailing years:
I've loved thee in thy sunniest time,
And shed for thee my tears;
And, mother, though thou'st cas-
away
The child who'd die for thee,
My latest accents still shall pray
For chuisle geal mo chroidha
I've tracked for thee the mountain
sides,
And slept within the brake,
More lonely than the swan that glide.
Ger Lua's fairy lake;
The rich have spurned me from theil
door,
Because I'd set thee free;
Yet do love thee, more and more,
A chuisle geal mo chroidhe!
I've run the outlaws brief career,
And borne his load of Ill,
With fixed, sustaining will;
And should his last dark chance be-
fall,
Fen that shall welcome be;
In death I'll love thee most of all,
A chuisle geal mo chroidhe!

he kept close to the fire. Not for I'M
told wealth would he have walked into
that sombre, silent forest one-half mile
alone-no. not even so rods.
Jean also was as scared as the doc
tor. Like many of the half-breed guides
who lead sportsmen into this wilder
ness, he believed most wild animals to
be endowed with human cunning and
devilish malice as we'll; that they might
initiate human actions. and certainly
could hear and understand human con-
verse. He was positive bears could
walk upright for miles and panthers
cross lakes on logs, using sticks for
paddles. He was certain that this wild
man who had followed them was a
i, combination of man and beast, huge,
hairy ape maybe. or mixture of bear,
panther, and man. Moreover, he be-
lieved in ghosts.
The piratical paddle handle found by
Martin. the moose skull perched on
the ledge, the night cries of looms on
the lakes or wildcats in swamps, were
all evidence of ghost existence and
meant for death warnings, and when
he heard them, he invariably crossed
himself.
Under other circumstances this SUI
perstition would have been ludicrous,
even to the doctor; now it added to the
mystery.
Even Martin and Levi, both old ex-
perienced woodsmen, caught little of
this uncanpy, eerie contagion, and

there was nothing to do but converse

"and. for that matter, four men with
two rifles need not fear even a wild

And as once before, when the even
ing's smoke and chat ended, the camp
fire low, and Martin had stretched
himself on the bough bed beside the
doctor. his thoughts Travelled to Green
vale, and he wondered how Angie
looked and what she would say, and
how she would treat him If he were to
go back there again.
Beyond that lurked little sense of
guilt at the thought of all the years
that had fled since he parted from her
in such tender fashion, and how
heartless it was, after all! Then he
wondered why she had never married.
She was a comely girl, and once he
thought her more than that-yes, even
the sweetest and most beautiful maid
in Greenvale.
Why was it some other village swain
had not caught her fancy, after his de-
sertion?
He knew she was an orphan, whose
mother had died when she was quite
young, and worse than that, her father
had' disappeared, no one knew why,
nor whittier, and that Angie had been
left without an heritage, to be brought
up by Aunt Comfort. 1t was a peculiar
case; and now, as it all came back to
him. and how, in her sweet girlish
way. she had laid her heart at his
feet, so to speak. it seemed to him that
one SO fond. and SO wholly dependent
was the last whom manly young fell
low should turn from and desert
1t was the bud of a boyish love
bursting into flower again. for before
Martin fell asleep he had firmly re-
solved he would visit Greenvale at an
early date and see how Angie would
receive him.
But the next morning all these sweet
impulses received quictus, for while
Levi and Jean were getting breakfast
Martin and the doctor took their rods
and started for the stream close by;
halfway there Martin halted suddenly
looking down.
And we'll he might, for at his feet
and freshly made in the hard, damn
sand, were those same claw-print
tracks he had twice found on the
Moosehorn, 100 miles away!
