The Final Response.

A statesman said a lot of things
That ought not to be said.
He turned loose careless carolings
That made the crowd see red.
There's nothing now that they can dc
They've got to let him quote
His little speech till he gets through
And then they're going to vote!
Oh, Patience on monument,
Look down upon us now,
And teach US calmly to prevent
The impulse for a row!
Remind US. as in grief we learn
OF reckless thoughts ahoat,
Some day the people get their turn.
Some day we're going to vote.

The Old Soldiers Regret.

The drum and fife recall the days
or many years ago,
When past the throng's approving gaze
We marched TO face the foe:
And while the music sends its thrill.
As marching lines advance,
One great regret our bosoms fill
Too old to go to France,
We seem again with Jolly boys.
In uniforms and arms,
All happy in the martial noise
And camp life's social charms;
To serve their country very glad
To have the happy chance;
So now the verdict makes us sad
Too old to 60 to Francei
We think now Of the days Of old,
When France was our good friend
And sent her soldiers and her gold,
Our need Of both to end.
As savage foes profane her land
And on her heartstrings dance.
We fain would lend a helping hand
Too old to 60 to France!
But we assure our fervent love
To all who wage her strife,
And human freedom hold above
The love of home and life;
And as the fags Of our allies
Are flown before our glance,
The heart-born dew-drops hll our eyes

FIFTY YEARS AGO
IN THE STAR

Tho movement for the annexation Of
Hawaii to the United States fifty years
ago aroused antagonism in
Hawaiian the islands on the part Of
n the monarchists. In The
Aieaty. Star of October 3. 1867. is
the following news item on the subject:
1.-THE reciprocity treaty between this
government and the Hawaiian govern
ment has been ratified by the authorities
at Honolulu and will be sent to the Sen
ate at the next session for its action. 1t
was prepared in the interest<of the mon
archists of Hawaii as flank movement to
head OF the republicans. who are ex-
tremely desirous of annexing the islands
to the United States. The argument used
by the monarchists is that with San
Francisco as a free port. to which the
planters can send their sugar, the sum OF
$600,OO will be saved annually to the
residents. and they argue that our Pa
cifc coast will be equally benefited by
reciprocal free trade. 1t seems that the
annexation movement became SO strong
that the king and his friends were obliged
to resort to the pending treaty as the
only measure which could delay its prog
ress. The government native journal op-
posed the treaty and warned the mobiles
and representatives Of the government
against the malicious designs of traitors
and advised the legislature to lay the
treaty on the table. The writer said: The
chiefs and representatives of the people
in the legislature may think they are call
ed together to consider and pass, for the
general benefit, the convention between
the two governments: but in view Of the
threats to seize the government and the
desire for the death of his majesty, ka-
mehameha, who is so greatly beloved and
who has the hearts of all the Hawaiians,
there Is good reason to look upon the

Mrs. Lincoln's
Finances.


! 4. 1857, is an article quoted from the
New York World to the effect that Mrs
Lincoln had been compelled to dispose
of some of her personal effects 'In or
der to exc the slender income which
remained to her after the settlement of
her husbands estate" . The article con-
tinued:
Upon the death of Mr.. Lincoln an ef-
fort was made to appropriate for his
wife and family the sum that he would
have received from the United States
had he lived to finish his second term
of office, 100000 but 1t resulted in ap-
propriating but s25.00O the amount Of
one years salary as President OF this
sum, $4,000 were required to discharge
certain standing obligations, leaving
about $4,000. which. with the house
and lot in Springfield. ILL.,, owned by
Mr.. Lincoln previous to his election to
the presidency. in 1860, was all the
property which fell to Mrs Lincoln,
Her present income. she states is but
s1,1oo year. of which $500 comes from
the rent of her old house in Springfield.
1t appears from this that Mr.. Lincoln
not only saved no money while he oc-
cupied the White House. but really
lived beyond his income which in con-
nection with the natural reluctance of
his widow to return to the simple style
of living to which she had been used

CHANG HSUN COUP
DESTINED TO FAIL
Strong Men of China Have
Taken Stand Against the
Rebel General.

WASHINGTON. July s. - Belief
here that the monarchical coup in
China is destined to failure was in
creased today by each new item of
news, official and unofficial, which
came TO the attention of the state de-
partment. Minister Reinsch re-
ported that at least some of the
northern military leaders, who are
felt to own the destiny of the coun-
try in their hands. have taken the
fleld In opposition to General Chang
Hsun's attempt to destroy republic
anism in China.
News of the creation OF an emer-
gency republican government at Nam
king, headed by some of the strongest
men in China, with reports of active
military preparations to besiege the
monarchists in Peking. is interpreted
here as showing that Chang far over
played his hand and that the greatest
gamble Of his life will not succeed
Battle I'm Prospect.
Fear is felt. however, that he vii
make an active resistance with con-
siderable military forces and that an
attack by the republicans and pos
sibly serious damage to Peking may
follow. Chang probably could MAIN
tain nimSeiI Tor some time Deninu the
Peking walls. especially as artillery is
lacking in China. A compromise is
rendered doubtful by executions, par
ticularly that of Prince Pu Lun, who,
tho Manchu and u cousin of the re-
stored emperor, has been an ardent
republican and progressive.
The action of Tuan Chi Jul in ac-
cepting his former post as premier
under instructions from President Ii,
from his asylum In the Japanese en-
bassy at Peking has strengthened
faith in the ultimate success of the
republic. Tuan has been one of the
republics strongest men with in
fluence among the military party.
There Is u Hitch.
on the other hand the Imprisonment
by Chang OF Wang Shi Chen, for
merly republican minister of war and
appointed to similar post in the
monarchial cabinet, confirmed the be-
lief existing here that Chang had ap-
pointed many men to office in his
cabinet who had neither accepted nor
been consulted. The imperialists had
claimed the support of Feng Kwo
Chang, who is in actually acting
president of the republic.
Chang Hsun has taken control or
the telegraph wires from Peking. DR..
V. X. Wellington Koo, the Chinese
minister, called at the state depart
ment today, but had no information
further than the promonarchial re-
ports sent out by Chang's leaders.

HAMPTON Roads Treated
to Real U-BOat Scare

FORT MONROE, Va. July s.
Hampton Roads was given a real sub
marine scare tonight by "A report
brought to the commandant of Fort
Monroe that two incoming vessels had
sighted a periscope in Chesapeake bay
five miles off the fort.
Immediate precautions were taken
and late tonight naval vessels still
were securing the lower bay seeking
an enemy.
Merchant vessels about to sail were
held up and the Washington and Bal
timore steamers were escorted from
the roads and part of their way up the
bay by warships.
Colonel Foote, commandant of the
fort, would not comment upon the ru-
NOR beyond saying that while the re-
ports might not prove to be well found
ed, no chances would be taken.
