HUERTA GETS THE GOODS,
German Steamers Have Landed Their
CargOes of Arms and Munitions.

washington, May 2S.-Reports
that the Hamburg-American steamer
Y~pirangu had delivered ammunition
for the Federals at Puerto Mexico
was a feature in the Mexican situa-
ton that engaged the President and
his advisers to-day.
While it would have been impossi-
bic to have prevented the delivery Of
munitions for Huerta without VIOLA
ton OF the truce between the Fede-
rails and the American government,
yet the incident recalled that the
Ypiranga's movements precipitated
the occupation of Vera Cruz to balk
the landing of the very war cargo
that now will reach Huerta through
the Tehuantepec railroad port.
Whether the Federal dictator
would attempt to make any explana-
ton Of the use to which he intended
to put the ammunition, as he ex-
planned the recent movement of his
troops to meet Constituencies
west Of Tampico was a topic of inter-
est here to-day. Official reports thai
Huerta had received an additional
cargo from the neutrality-suspicious.

statements from Mexico City that
two large shipments Of munitions
had been received in tho last two
weeks.

GATHER AT LINC0LWS STATUE
Children Seem to Recognize Compan-

sentation of President.

In the city of Newark, N. j., there
stands on the plaza in front of the
courthouse bronze statue of Abra-
ham Lincoln. The figure of Lincoln
is seated on a bench on which rests
the tall hat that the president was ac-
customed to wear. Frequently you see
men standing there, looking at this
remarkable statue, and it seems as
if they we're in confidential chat with
the figure of bronze, so natural is its
pose.
Every day the little children play
about the statue. To them it is the
figure of a companion and friend 1t
is not unusual to see child nestled
in the arm of the statue, or Chamber

He Knew That Money Talks.

He couldn't talk English, though per
haps he understood little. but he
knew a thing or two. He was riding
on a huckster's wagon past a public
school. His partner had gone into
house to sell some truck, and he was
learning the business. His clothes
were ragged and shabby, much like
those of the stage tramp. The chill
dren started to jeer at him. making
remarks about his clothes. He seemed
to understand that they were making
fun of his clothes, so he reached in
his pocket and pulled out the bromide
roll of bills that would choke cow"
These bills he waved at the children,
for apparently he believed that money
would insure respect, even If he did
have old clothes.

Wanted Little Praise Himself.

Following disastrous fire in west
ern city, many men and women gath
cred to look at the ruins. Some of the
men, seeing that wall near which
they were standing was toppling, made
haste to get out of the way, and mar
rowly escaped being crushed.
Johnny Brabison, good Irish citi-
zen, WAS so near the wall that he could
not escape with the others. So, whirl-
ing about, he made for door in the
wall, burst through it, and came out
on the other side safe, and evidently
very proud of his exploit. Women
who had shut their eyes and shrieked
when they saw his danger now gath
cred round him in great joy, and cried
out:
Praise heaven, Johnny Brabison,
down on your knees, and thank
heaven!"
"Yis yis," said he, "and will, but
wasn't it injaneyous inn me, now?"-

Found In a Glacier.

Sir Martin Conway has recently told
this story of finding lost AK in the
Alps: Zurbiggen, one of the cele-
brated mountain climbers of the
world, in scaling a peak of Les An
glaises, near Chamounix, accidentally
let his ak fall near the summit of the
peak. 1t fell some thousands of feet.
In the normal course of things it was
buried in snow and swallowed up in
the glacier, being covered deeper and
deeper each year, and at the same
time being carried slowly downward
as the ice flowed on. Seven or eight
years afterward Hon c. G. Bruce and
Harkbir, a Sepoy chief, in descendirt =
peak of the Alps just as night WIN
falling, and a great crevasse barred
the way, being unable to find the
bridge over it, cut a path down to
to bottom, where Harkbir stepped on
an ak which had NJ q. Zurbiggen's ini-
tials on the handle. There could be
no mistake as to the identity of the
ak, as Harkbir had seen it and used
it before.

Life in the city is needed for a real
appreciation of the country. Blake,
the painter and mystic dreamer, lived
in the heart of London! Millet, the
painter of French rural scenes, de-
lighted in his life in Paris; Turner
commenced life in Seven Dials. 1t is
possible for people to live in the midst
of earth's glories and not appreciate
them till someone from the city re-
veals to them the charm. OF late years
we have heard much of the cry: Back

 Will Be Submitted to Stockholders.
 The department of justice has agreed to the suggestion by the New Haven that the agreement be submitted to the roads stockholders for approval in the belief that affirmative action will be taken. Both the railroad and the gov ernment are confident that the state of Massachusetts will speedily enact legislation necessary to permit the sale of the stock of the Boston and Maine railroad now owned by the New Haven. Such action probably will not precede an agreement here, but the settlement will be based on the theory that Massachusetts will fall in line with the plans of the federal govern ment and the railroad.
 Satisfactory Progress.

 "The representatives of the depart ment of justice and the New Haven railroad state that negotiations are progressing in a satisfactory manner and it is believed that all details will be satisfactorily arranged at an early date.

None of those present would confirm either of these reports.
