Moreover, this minister. breaking
through all the old traditions, insisted on
defending himself from the aspersiOns
cast upon him by the secretary of state
by the issuance Of a statement commented
upon here as certain to be embarrassing
to the administration
Crisis is Reached.
The history of this extraordinary affair
which began about a week ago with the
announcement that Minister Crane had
been stopped at San Francisco at the
moment of embaTkatiOn by a demand
from Secretary Knox for his return to
Washington, reached at least its first
crisis today when the secretary in q for
NAL statement announced that MI Crane
resignation had been invited and the min
lister has replied in a formal statement
that, while his resignation already had
been rendered to the President, he felt
himself Unjustly treated.
Moreover, Mr.. Crane in his statement
reflected severely upon the state DEPART
ment officials. charging that not only
had they TefTsined from giving him the
instructions usually issued to a minister
or ambassador about to leave for his post
but that he had been denied access to
them even after he had made repeated
appointments with them.
He enters a sweeping denial of the
charge that he gave OUT a newspaper
story which is said to be the cause of his
deposition, and placed sQuarely upon the
shoulders of President Taft the RESPONSE
bility for the various utterances he has
made regarding conditions in the far east
which have aroused the ire Of Secretary
Knox and for final action upon his resiga
nation.
In announcing his action, Mr. Knox give
out the following statement, adding that
he would have nothing to add 90 It:

They told me that DIR. Cook had with
him after they left two Eskimo boys OF
young men, two sledgas and two dogs.
The boys We're I-TOOk-A-ShOo and All
Pe-Lah. had known them from their
childhood. one was about IS and the
other about 10 years old.
On my return from Cape Sheridan and
at the very first settlement 1 touched
(Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in August,
1863, and nine days before reaching Etah,
the EskimOs told me in a general way
where DR.. Cook had been. That he had
Wintered in Jones sound and that he had
told the white men at Etdh that he had
been long way north, but that the boys
who were with him. I-TOOk-A-ShOO and
Ah-Pe-Lah.. said that this was not So.
The EskimOs laughed at Dr.. Cooks story.
on reaching Etan I talked with the Es-
kimOs there and with the two boys. and
asked them to describe DR., Cooks jour
ney to members of my party and myself.
This they did in the manner stated be-
low.

Some Evening Reyeries.

: slider the happiness that exists, the
families that have come to grief
some from misfortune, some from
/ error, we are almost persuaded that
{ those parents who die young, be-
fore the evil day comes when they
, no longer find pleasure in their
children, are the only ones who die
happy. Could the mother who fond
ly clasps her infant in her arms,
the idol of her heart, and object of
her tenderest devotion, while she
prays without ceasing for his life
to be spared that he may continue
a consolation to her and a prop for
old age; could she forsee the future
of that child, which is so wisely hid
from her, could she see him or her
overburdened or disgraced, poverty
stricken and friendless, idle or in
sane, worthless vagabond, or a
debauched millionaire, way down
in the dregs of society, or way up
in the scum, would not change
come DER the spirit of her dreams;
would she not more fully realize
that life is only valuable as it is
well spent, and while she is praying
for life to last, pray also with great
er fervency for his protection from
the soul destroying things of the
world.
just now who the new woman"
of the day is, upon whose much
haralded advent many good and
sober minded people have taken
fright, remains a mystery. That |
times are changing, and woman ad-
vancing into broader fields of edu-
cation and usefulness, no one in
his senses can doubt. The real new |
woman which the twentieth century
will give to grace tho decade OF its.f
will be one, who, to the
gentle, feminine attributes of her
colonial ancestors, will add the
strength of self reliance and the
force of systematic, intellectual
training. A wider experience in
life, and an extended knowledge of
human nature, have not yet retard-
ed the wheels of progress or derac-
mated society, and there seems no
very good reason to believe that
different results will prevail, be-
cause women possess these advan-
tages. Immutable nature has map
ped out to woman her sphere. The
golden chains Of love and maternal s
devotion bind her willingly to it. t
She could not leave if she would,
and she would not if she could. j
So after the extravagances and {
exaggerations that are now follow
ng naturally enough in the wake t
Of the movement which is advanc- !
ng woman into higher position in
he social system, shall have settled /;
lown. as extremes attendant on
'eforms have done before, the real
lew woman will appear, as true to \
lerself and her vocations as any of :,
Ter predecessors. If the spirit of
Ter time extends her duties, in some
instances into public life, there she =
will conduct herself with dignity i
md ability. She will preside at 9
he fireside, a fair and stately =
igure, none the less lovable because l
dorned with more of the graces of
1inerva, as well as those of Venus; '
one the less companionable be- I
ause of her better understanding b
{ things that interest men. [
