General Stewart L. Woodford talked
to members of the Army and Navy club
and their guests In New York the other
bight about some of the happenings
at Washington and Madrid while he
waa the United States minister to Spaia
The occasion waa one of the open meet
ings, u series of which the club holds
every winter. The parlors of the houae
were crowded, and standing room was at
a premium in the halla Among other
things, General Woodford said:
"Without introduction I will try to
tell you something of such of the hap
penings at Madrid while he who ad
dresses you was your minister to Spain
as the proprieties of the occasion and
the usages of the state department will
permit Your minister carried with
him to Madrid instructions from the
president to do three things. One waa
GENERAL STEWART L. WOODFORD.
to secure justice for Cuba, another was
to see that our commercial interests in
that island were no longer embarrassed
and the third was to demand the with
drawal from Cuba of General Weyler
on or before Oct. 81, 1897 dr to de
mand the passports of the American
minister. I delivered my instructions
to the Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish min
ister of foreign affairs, and he promptly
told me that under no circumstances
would General Weyler be withdrawn
from Cuba until the end of the two
years for which he had been sent there.
"What the Duke of Tetuan refused to
do and what American diplomacy failed
to secure was accomplished by providen
tial means. The conservative govern
ment resigned, the Sagasta ministry
came into power, and' on Oct. 29, I
think it was, two days before the set
time for Goneral Weyler's recall by the
president, Weyler was recalled.
"The weeks drifted by and Feb. 15,
1898, came, when our battleship was
blown up in the harbor of Havana.
Through departments other than the
state department your minister received
telegraphic information on Feb. 18 that
there were not on American ships or in
the ordnance depots in the United
States two rounds of powder per gun at
that time, and I was told to exhaust
the arts of peace until April IS, the
earliest date at which we could be'any-
where near ready for war, and that in
any event smokeless powder for both
the navy and the army would be anoth
er impossibility.
"Your minister did the best he could.
But lot me toll yon that had it not been
for the unfaltering, unchanging and
loyal friendship of England and the at
titude of her minister at Madrid he
might have failed to do the little he did
do, because the representatives at Mad
rid of continental Europe were ready at
any time to interfere with the plans of
the United States if the British min
ister would only join them. In the
meantime the work of preparation went
on at home, and, to show you hoW ac
curately the time was ganged, I may
tell you of the run of a sealed express
train across the continent, the corjtents
of which train no man outside of Wash
ington, and only two there, knew. It
had the right of way over all other
trains. When it reached San Francisco,
its cargo was transferred to a waiting
steamer, which raced to Honolulu.
There the cruiser Baltimore was wait
ing, no one knew for what. Tho cargo
was shifted to the Baltimore, which
carried it to Hongkong, and on April 28
the cargo was distributed among the
American warships there, and Dewey
had the ammunition he wanted. On
April 24 he got his orders to sail for
Manila. That ammunition on May day
awoke echoes in Manila bay that were
heard round the world and took from
Spain an empire."
General Woodford hastily sketched
the remainder of his stay in Spain and
in conclusion said: "The war with
Spain has been likened to the hundred
days in Italy. Those hundred days
changed the inap of Europe for 20 years.
The days of onr war changed the map of
the world and changed it forever. Yon
and I may differ as ,to politics, but
upon one thing we cannot differ. We
tore down the sovereignty of Spain in
the Philippines. We must either estab
lish there a form of government as we
know government, or we must guaran
tee the protection pf life and property
there until the peoples of those islands
chow that they can govern themselves.
We must do . one of these two things.
It Uour duty, and we canuot shirk it. "

A SONG OF FORGETTING.
The hoars as playthings were ah, met
And laughter lived In every word
What time that love was young and glee
In every pulsing heart throb stirred.
The wild plam blossomed in the glen,
The rabbit raced across the plain,
And frightened birdlings flurried when
Our hounds and horses tramped the grain.
Down In the grove beside the spring
We rested when the race was won,
And listened to the wood bird sing
A lullaby when day was done.
But, ah, yon wandered from my side
And paved the long lone lane of years
With memory stones and loss too wide
For sobs to soothe with memory tears.
And now yon oome come back to me
To fill, ns then, the old time place
Where is the magio of your pleaJ
What ohange has oome upon your face?
Oh; friend, to lose and still love on.
To live on chaff Instead of grain
Is better than to feel love gone
Forgetting la the keenest pain.

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL
Bow the Great Irish Leader Came to
Bnter Polities.
Charles Stewart Parnell waa 28 years
old before he made his entry into the
political arena. How the step was taken
is thus described by Mr. R. Barry
O'Brien in his biography of the great
Irish leader:
I'One night during the general elec
tion of 1874 Parnell dined with hia sis
ter, Mrs. Dickinson, in Dublin. After
dinner Captain Dickinson said 'Well
Charles, why don't you go into parlia
ment? Why don't you stand for your
native county ?'
"To the surprise of every one at the
table, Parnell said quickly 'I will
Whom ought I to see?' -
" 'Oh, ' said Dickinson, 'we will see
about that tomorrow. The great thing
is you have decided to stand. '
" 'I will see about it at once,' said
ParnelL 'I have made up my mind, and
I won't wait. Whom ought I to see ?'
" 'I think Gray of The Freeman's
Journal, ' said John, who waa also pres
ent. " 'Very well,' said Parnell, rising
from the table, 'I shall go to him at
once. Do you come with me, John. '
"The two brothers then went away to
gether. It was now 11 o'clock, and they
found Gray at The Freeman's office.
He was amazed when Parnell entered
and said, 'I have come to say, Mr.
Gray, that I mean to stand for Wick
low as a Home Ruler. ' "
It was only the year after that, on the
death of John Mitchel, Parnell was re
turned for Heath. At first it is plain
that Parnell had few if any followers.
The ability of the representative from
Meath was questioned Butt was then
the controlling power. It was only in
1880 that Parnell became the leader.

tury 53 guilds and 150,000 inhabitants,

land, silk from Italy and Persia, linen.
and cloth from Brabant, hemp and flax
from Holland, wine from Portugal,
Greece and France and hardware from
Germany, which included every variety
of objeot in ivory, bone, wood, glass,
tin, oopper, lead, iron, silver and gold.
It had its factories, its curriers, its dy

The Swiss Parliament.
Switzerland differs from other coun
tries in many things, and one of the
most remarkable ia the way in which
its parliamentary debates are conduct
ed. A Swiss member of parliament oan
express himself in Frenoh, German or
Italian, and the privilege is freely used.
When the president of tbe federal as
sembly speaks in German, his remarks
are translated by a secretary in olose
proximity to him. AH the Jaws and
resolutions, before being voted npon,
are drawn up iu Frenab, Germau and
Italian, and every official report is pub
lished in tbese three languages. Bir
