We've met again, my cumriiilts buld,
To grasp each others hands,
And talk of limes that tried each soul
All over there Southern lands;
We've cloter giown through Iketing
years,
Since ?ve together siood;
And hired our breasts to leaden storms
Ou He Ids baptized with blood.
Our lauds lrrve been Ailed with widiow's
weeds,
And we've lrea d the orpluns' cry;
^ While comrades, long since disappeaicd,
j Are marching through the sky;
We'll write their nanus on fame's proud
tcroll,
As heioes in the strife;
Ami cherish 'hose they loved and left
As lorg as we have life.
And though our tlig lies folded now
To kiss the brctze no more;
And though no more we don the coat;.,
We once so proudly wore;
We'll never forget those valorious deeds,
Beneath that bautu r done;
Nor cease to talk of hat tie field-",
And victories we have won.
We're not ashamed of what we did,
As we buttled tor the right;
And though by numerous fees overw
helmed,
^ We yieldrd to their might;
I We walk again with frteiiiano tread,
The land that gave us biith;
Ami gloiy in the bunny booth,
The grandest simt on eaith.
When not them hate shall coast) to live,
Ai.d Until shall giasp tliejx'ii
To write our countiy's history down,
bht'll say this of our inn ;
That tmer jatiiots 1 evt r lived,
JSer filhd mote honond graves
TIihii those who fell in fieed? ni'scause,

WASHINGTON LETTER. .
(From our regular Corrospor (lent.)
Washington, D. C.. S -pi 3rd, 1900.
?There ia much chagrin iu official
circles because ot what asems to have
been almost a general misapprehension
of the position of this government, as
staled in the published ic;>!y to the
Russian .proposition to withdraw ihe
allied troops from China. Because
ii.i l? 11. .. : l* i? . :A u
uiuv rcjujr hiiiiuu mm !i it i-siu wiuidrew
its troops, the U. S. would do
likewise, the conclusion a i ma to have
bteu generally jumt< I to that this
government had cudo-re 1 the Russian
proposition. Tho communication was
anything hut an endorsement. Iu
diplomatic circles it is considered to
have been almost a protest against the
Russian proposition, emphasized by
tho rather plain hint that if Russia
alono withdrew her troops at this time,
this govornmont would rogard'il as a
breaking up of the alliance and would
act accordingly. Many notes arc be
, ing exchanged by the powers, but act
ing Secretary of State, Adoe, says that
, nouo of them will bo inado public uu*

I Gen. Otis hui been assigned to succeed

Hon. Andrew D. White, U. 8.
Ambassador to Germany, is in Washington,
hut hit pre<encj has produced
in.) news. Mr. While is one of the
most courteous men iu the world to
mrtt, and when it comes to public
idlair.', one of the most reticent. He
is thoroughly imbued with the diplomatic
ilea, that the press should be
given only r.suits in things pertaining
to international affairs.
Chinese stories being in order, a
resident of San Francisco told this
one to a group of Washington friends:
The Chinese have a q leer way of
avenging themselves on tueir enemies.
It' a Celestial is real anxious to make
his enemy's life a burden, he committed
euictde iu front of the latter'* '
door. This ii considered, by the
Chi.:cs?, t) he tho most terrible thing
that could happen to them. The man in
front of whose home the suicide is commat
d h shunued by his fell >ws, is
ostrici-o l by Ii'ib club and is marked
with the linger of scorn and suspicion.
Tho soul < f tho suicide is supposed
to go straight to heaven, while the
I ?!.. -*i r *? * * "
ou.ii uj iiiy oiner ienow 13 doomed to
everlasting perdition."
While hoping for a peaceful solulion
of the Chinese problem, the officials
of the Navy Department are
taking the necessary stops to have
their branch of the service prepared
for any con'.iugeccy. The Naval
Policy 'T. >hm1. if which Admiral
Dewey is president, is now in session
at Newport. It is known that the
hoard is considering the ad visibility
if greatly strengthening our Naval
force in Lhiutae waters, although its
proceedings are not made public.
Orders have, however, already been
issued for a number of colliers to proceed
to Chinese waters in addition to
thos3 already there and on the way,
which means that warships will be
there to use the coal.
