 The Old Continentals. In their ragged regimentals Stood the old Continentals,
 Yielding not, While the grenadiers were lunging, And like hail fell the plunging
 Cannon-shot;
 When the files
 Of the isles From the smoky night encampment bore the banner of the rampant
 Unicorn; And grummer. grummer. grummer rolled the roll of the drummer,
 Through the morn When with eyes to the front, all, And with guns horizontal,
 Stood our sires; While the balls whistled deadly, And in streams flashing redly
 Blazed the fires;
 As the roar
 On the shore Swept the strong battle breakers OCT the green sodded acres
 of the plain; And louder, louder, louder cracked the black gunpowder.
 Cracking amain Now like smiths at their forges Worked the red St. Georges
 Cannoneers And the villainous saltpeter Rang a fierce, discordant meter
 Round our ears;
 As the swift
 Storm-drift, With hot sweeping anger, came the horse guards clangor
 On our Hanks. Then higher, higher, higher burned the old fashioned fire
 Through the ranks! Then the bare headed Colonel Galloped through the white internal Powder cloud; And his broad sword was swinging, And his brazen throat was ringing Trumpet loud;
 Then the blue
 Bullets flew, And the trooper jackets redden at the touch of the leaden
 Rife breath; And rounder, rounder, rounder roared the iron x-pounder,
 Hurling death. -G. H. McMaster.

PLANS TO PROD CONGRESS
LABOR CONFERENCE DECIDES TO
SEND A MEMORIAL.
National Legislators Are Accused Of
NegIectina the Interests and De-

Labor.

Washington, Mar. 2O.-Plans went
forward Thursday at a rapid pace for
the presentation of labor's memorial
to congress protesting against the in
action Of the national legislature in the
matter of laws demanded by the or.
ganized workers.
This duty will devolve upon one of
the two committees appointed by
President Gompers, termed the "pro-
test committee" which was directed
to frame an address to be presented
to those responsible for legislation in
congress pointing out the failure OF
congress to enact needful legislation
and setting forth the demands of labor
on the subject. 1t was also decided
to ask the leaders in congress to fix
upon time when committee from
the labor conference can confer with
them. 1t is understood that the
memorial will call attention to the re-
cent Injunction decisions OF the SUI
preme court against labor organiza-
lions and ask that the Sherman anti.
trust law be SO amended as to afford
relief
The committee on labor was author
lied to draft memorial to be sent
to the members OF the various labor
organizations and the people general
~, setting forth the prevailing condi.
lions among workingmen and calling
attention to what organized labor de.
mands at the hands Of the federal gov
eminent.
Tho conferences, which is composed
OF representatives of the lit national
and international trades unions, or
$1,000 local unions. is regarded as one
OF the most representative gatherings
in the history of organized labor.
Formal organization was effected by

To See Yokohama.
It is believed that Yokohama will
be the Japanese port at which the
American fleet will call.
An invitation is expected from the
Chinese government to have the
American fleet visit Chinese waters
as soon as it becomes known to the
Chinese government that the Japan
csc invitation has been accepted. In
that case 1t will of course be neces-
sary for the fleet to also visit China,
and 1t is likely that the stop will be
made at Shanghai.
