SEASONABLE.

Oh, for Il Whit of winter!
Oh. for a breath Of spring
Or the passing sigh
Of q warm July
That would scorch a bluebird's wing!
The charms of the icebound season
I have often read about.
But on closer view
They are mighty few
And mes l could do without.
With a taste of zero weather
And a north pole tempered chill
Or an iceberg puff
1t Is quite enough,
And 1t more h fills the bin.
! could stand a lot OF winter
And discuss it with a smile
If I owned a cot
On the corner lot
OF a balmy south sea isle.
Fol the children under sixty.
With their brand new Christmas
skates
And a painted sled
That is bright and red,
There is fur done up in crates.
But for those sedate and aged
And out Of the infant class
There is no delight
In a SNOWFALL fight
As they watch the winter pass.

being pinned In the wrecEage and
literally roasted while they were con-
scious but unable TO move.
The accident occurred on the Bom-
bay-Baroday railway at a point not

Later reports tend to increase the
horror OF the catastrophe. II Is now
believed that scores were roasted to
death.
Until the wreckage Is cleared away
the list Of the dead will be unknown
and even then II will be dlficult TO

Relief trains have been sent to the

says that 80 seriously injured vic

not so badly hurt. Many of the In

The trains were running at high

MAY LEAD TO TROUBLE
Break in European Concert on
Macedonian Question.
GERMANY OVER THE TRACES
Action Comes as a Great Surprise to
the Officials of England and
the Continent.

London, Feb. 14.-What is prac
tically the breakup of the European
concert on the Macedonian question
has come as a shock to the chancel-
tories OF the Continent and England,
particularly as quiet diplomatic sea-
son had been anticipated The assent
Of Germany to the management of
Moroccan affairs by France, the con-
clusion of agreements to- maintain the
status quo in the Mediterranean and
the opening of negotiations looking to
treaties that should accomplish a sim
liar purpose with regard to the North
sea seemed to make the possibility of
differences arising among the powers
remote. The conferences of the am
bassadors at Cons tantinople also ap-
peared to be going on smoothly when
a bomb was thrown into camp by the
announcement made by Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, the German
ambassador, that Germany would no
longer act with the other powers in
insisting that Turkey consent to their
demands.
AS to the cloud that has arisen be-
tween Russia and Austria-Hungary
over the projects for railroad extern
sions in Macedonia by the latter state,
the right of Austria Hungary to secure
q concession for the Novipazar rail-
road line and the justice Of Germany
supporting her ally are recognized in
England, but it is contended that the
present time is in opportune for the
raising of this point.
It Is now said that the Off cial break
Tag UP of all these international un-
derstandings will aggravate the Mace
DOMAIN question, reopen the whole
Near East problem, start contest for
railroad concessions which may lead
to serious results and enable Turkey
to postpone the reforms for which the
ambassadors have been working.
