HAY SENDS ULTIMATUM
We Must Be Allowed to Com
t municate With Conger.
CHINA MUST MAKE HER DECISION.
Now That She HUM Shown Ability- to
Protect the Envoy* Pnrtlier In
terference With Their Freedom
Will Ue tin Act ol Wur,
Washington, Aug. 3. —By,denying to
the powers communication with their
ministers in Peking the Chinese govern
ment, which admits that it possesses the
power, puts itself in an unfriendly atti
tude.
This was the formal and, in certain
respects, ominous declaration of Secreta
ry Hay in his reply to Li llung Chang's
propositions for a stay of the allies' ad
vance on Peking.
The Canton viceroy, who seems to
speak for the imperial government more
nearly than any one else who can be
communicated with, lias now been clearly
informed ns to how this government will
regard either the sending of the minis
tors to Tion-tsiii under escort or the hold
ing of them as hostages by the Chinese
government.
Li Hung Chang must have well under
stood that the only possible meaning to
bo put upon his inquiry whether "if free
communication were established between
the ministers ami their governments it
could he arranged that the powers should
not advance fin Peking pending further
negotiations" was that the diplomats
were virtually held as prisoners. He left
Secretary Hay a splendid opening for an
emphatic rejoinder, which he made in the
words, "free communication with our
representatives in Peking is demanded as
n matter of absolute right, and not as n
favor." Then came his pointed state
ment as to China's "unfriendly attitude."
Still willing to give the Peking govern
ment an opportunity to avoid forcing the
powers to extreme measures, the secreta
ry urged Li to advise the authorities to
place themselves in friendly communica
tion and co-operation with the relief ex
pedition and concluded with the warning
that seems almost n threat, 'that the Pe
king government is "assuming a heavy
responsibility in acting otherwise."
Altogether, Secretary Hay's note puts
the Chinese government in a position
where it cannot long delay n decision.
In taking this position this government
has acted without consultation with the
other powers. At the cabinet meeting
yesterday Secretary Hay's course wa-*
heartily approved by the president and
other members of the official family.
Confidence is felt here that the other
powers will concur in the position taken
ns being the only one possible under the
circumstances.

$ A Romance of Concord A
£ and Lexington. T
e By L. G. Wood berry. ijji ,
*e*
Well, as I was saying, this Is the
way it came about: I was a young
thing then, just turned 18. Your grand
father had been my playmate, hero
anil protector from the time that I was
old enough to go to school. I liud nev
er thought of marrying any one but
him, and so when he asked me to be
his wife, why, of course, I said "Yes."
Well, It was In the spring of 177i>
thnt we were to he married. Mother
and I spent the winter getting my
things made up, and I had as fine an
outfit ns n girl could possibly have ill
those days. The day set for the wed
ding was the 10th of April—yes, the
very day on which the battle of Isl
ington occurred, as 1 have good reason
to remember.
Those were anxious days for us. I
remember how serious my father and
brothers used to look as they discussed
tile events wlitcli were then taking
place. Their only conversation was
about rights, stamps and taxes.
When the towns began to raise "min
utemen," why, of course, we raised a
company in ottr town, and your grand
father and my brothers were members
of it. We girls could not stand guard,
of course, so in order to show our pa
triotism we all signed a paper in which
we agreed not to have anything to do
with the men of the town who refused
to join the company.
The 10th of April was a beautiful
day, though a warm one for the sea
son. Wo were all up early that morn
ing, for there was a great deal to bo
done. It was about 9 o'clock in the
forenoon when my mother, who had
been looking over some linen, suddenly
raised her head, exclaiming as she did
so, "Why, Mary, was that the meeting
house hell?"
"What can it mean?" I cried, and,
running to the window, 1 caught sight S
of our neighbor's sons, Joe and John
Eaton, running down the road with
their guns. Across tile way Ilarry
Wright was plowing the field. The
boys called out to him as they passed,
and, without stopping to unhitch the
horse, he seized his gun and was off
across the fields.
"It is an alarm, mother!" I cried.
"The hoys are down by tile brook,"
she said. "The sound will not reach
them. Ilun and tell them!"
Without delay I hurried to the kitch
en, and, seizing the horn, I ran out of
the house and started for the brook,
which was some distance from the
house. I blew a blast on the horn as I
ran, and as the hoys caught sight of
me I pointed toward the road, where
several men could be seen miming
with their guns. The boys understood,
and, waving their hands to me, they
were off across the field to the road.
"What do you suppose the matter
Is?" asked mother when I returned to
the house.
"I do not know," wns my reply, "hut
1 am going to find out." And 1 ran out
of the house and took a short ent across
the fields to the meeting house, which
wns to he the gathering place If the
alarm should ever he sounded. I, for
one, had never expected to hear nny
alarm, for at home we hoped for a
peaceful settlement of the difficulties.
Hut when I readied the church and
saw tlie whole town gathered oil the
green the men's stern air and tlie wo
men's pale faces frightened me, and I
began to fear that something serious I
was the matter.
"1 "lint Is it? Where are they go
ing?" I asked. And ns I spoke tlie men |
came hurrying out of the meeting
house, where tlicy had heard a few I
words from I'arson Smith, and, mount
ing tlielr horses, rode off ns fast ns
they could go. I looked for your grand
father, but ho was not there. CntcJi-
Ing Right of my father, I ran to him.
"Have you seen Henry?" (Hint's your
grandfather) I asked.
"Henry was nt the tavern when the
messenger rode through here," replied
my father, "and, ns lie had ills horse
with liim, ho rode nwny without wait
ing for the company to assemble."
You may Imagine my feelings as I
turned to go home. Tills was my wed
ding day, and the man who wns to
marry mo had ridden off without a
word, knowing, too, that he might nev- ]
er return, if all they were saying nl'ut j
fights and resistance wns true.
My father had readied home before
me, and ns I opened the door I heard
mother nslc, "Do you think It Is any
thing serious, father?"
"I am afraid it may be, wife," he
said. "The messenger said that Gov- j
ernor Gage has sent some of the king's
troops to destroy the supplies which
have been stored at Concord. If the
report, is true, there will be resistance,
and If It comes to that It will be very
serious business for us."
My mother kept her fears to herself
and did her best to make me feel that
It would come out all right, hut those
hours were the most anxious I ever
spent. So through the day we watch
ed and waited for news.
The first news that came to us from
the fight at Lexington and the other
doings of that day arrived about 0
o'clock In the afternoon, when some
minutemen from another town stopped
ut the tavern on tlietr way home. They
told tho story of the day to the little
crowd of anxious women who eagerly
questioned them for news of some dear
one.
My father would not let me go down
to the tavern, hut went down himself
and brought us tho news. I can see
him now hurrying along the road.
"Something unusual has happened,
Mary!" exclaimed my mother. "1 nev
er saw your father look so excited."
I hastened down the path to meet
him.
"Bad news, my child; bad news!" he
exclaimed. "There has been an en
counter with the king's troops." And
then, reading the question in my eyes,
he continued, "But they brought no
news of our men."
The hour set for the wedding was 8
o'clock, but It began to look as if there
would lie no wedding, for it was now
after 7 o'clock, and none of our men
had returned home.
Mother and I sat In silence in the
kitchen while father walked back and
forth In the room above.
At last we heard steps outside, and
then my brother Arthur, who was
among tho first to renoli home, stagger
ed Into the room. I sprang up and ran
to him. He sank into the nearest
chair, and his gun fell to the floor with
a thud. Arthur was only a boy of 15,
you must remember, and the day had
been n terrible one.
When he had recovered a little, my
father spoke. "What news do you
bring, my son?" he asked.
Now, 1 had felt from the first that
he had brought had news, and by the
way he hesitated and glanced from fa
ther to me and still did not speak I
felt sure of it. So I put my worst fears
into words.
"Arthur," I said, "is it Ilenry?"
"Listen," he said, speaking rapidly.
"The king'j troops were in full retreat
when we readied the road. We did
not keep with our companies, but each
one found shelter as lie was able be
hind trees, walls or fences. I met Hen
ry as 1 was crossing a field, and we
took shelter together and awaited the
coming of the troops. We had just got
settled when Henry caught sight of a
flanking party coming right down on
us. He called to the men near us to
run for their lives, and at the same
time we both jumped the wall and ran
for a house which stood In in the field
Just opposite. I reached tho opposite
wall in snfety nml turned round to look
for Henry, hut he was not with me.
At that moment the troops came round
a sudden turn In the road and sent
some shots in our direction. At the
risk of being shot at I stood up and
looked across the road. He must have
been hit by the flanking party, for he
lay just by the wall."
"Are you sure It was he?" asked fa
ther.
"Yes; 1 know him by the green on
his powderhorn," replied my lu-other.
"Yotl staid by and looked after him?"
asked father.
"1 tried to, sir, but the troops came
down on us, and we were obliged to
move on. I went back to the place as
Roon as I could, but 1 must have mis
taken the spot, for I could not find
him."
Meanwhile I snt in my elinlr, feeling
ns If I lind just awakened from a had
dream. 1 did not fully realize what
had happened, for It seemed impossi
ble.
"Here are some people, Mary," said
mother. "You would better go up to
your room ami lie down."
I did ns I was told. There on the
bed lay my wedding gown. I could not
i bear to look at it, and, picking It up, I
placed It in the large chest 111 which
my linen was packed and pulled down
the lid; then 1 threw myself on the bed,
nml tears came to my relief. So I lay
there thinking over the events of the
day, my wedding day that was to have
been. How different from what I had
anticipated!
Suddenly I heard the sound of a
horse's feet coming up the road at a fu
rious pace. I sat up and listened.
"Somebody Is riding on an important
errand," I said to myself. Nearer and
j nearer came the sound, and the rider,
J whoever he was, drew rein at our door.
Then there were a murmur of voices
| and an opening and shutting of doors
and then my mother's voice calling to
me: "Mary, Mary; eldid, come down!
j Henry Is here. He's come."
Scarcely believing that I hoard aright,
I got .up and ran down stairs and into
the kitchen, and there before me, his
fare pale ns death, with a blood stain
ed bandage hound about his forehead,
stood your grandfather.
"Mary," he cried, holding out Ills
hnnds to me, "I aui In time! The clock
has not struck yet!"
(Then I'arson Elder, who hud come
over to hear the news from Arthur,
came forward and said, "Shall I per

nnd she said to him: "My pool' fellow!
Can you anyhow contrive to smoke?"
"Yes, your royal ldghuoss," was the

Sing ho, for the days of old,
When robbers bold and free
In the forest deep did vigil keep
Under the greenwood tree!
They cared not for law nor rule;
Might was the law they knew,
And robbed at will o'er dale and hill
And spared when they pleased, or slew.
Nor made they a specious plea
For the lusty trade they plied,
But free and bold in quest of gold
They robbed, lived and died.
And think not, though times have changed.
That no highwayman have we;
They're with us still and work their will,
But they move in "society."
Not a paltry purse they snatch;
They arc bolder now by far.
From the people's feet tliey steal a street
And ride in a palace car.
If you walk or ride or fly,
You tribute in full must pay,
For what you need they'll muke you bleed;
They rob in a modern way.
If robbers you dared them name,
They'd give you a scornful ginnce
And let you know, with a haughty bow,
They were "masters of finance."
Then, ho, for the thieves of old,
Who posed not as "financiers,"
But, rough and rude in the shady wood.

These two things shall no man forgot or lose
Or sacrifice—his will and his ideal.
These two things are the man; in leaving them
Behind him in the dust of broken dreams
lie leaves himself. His nature is usurped
By alien thouglits and moods and commonplace.
From such vast sacrifices no great works spriug;
That soul is barren that has cast out self.
The lesson of all greatness is to be
That which we are—out to our furthest bounda—•
To lift the high within us higher still.
To delve our depths with a profaunder depth,
To push the near horizon of our minds
Out past immediate things to ultimate.

A lily grew in a garden far
From the dust of tho city street;
It had no dream that tho universe
Held a light less pure and sweet
Than its virgin self, so chaste was it,
Ko perfect its retreat.
When night came down, the lily looked
In the face of the stars and smiled,
Then went to sleep—to the sleep of death—
As the soul of a little child
Goes back to the clasp of the Father soul.
Untouched and undefilcd.
A lily bloomed on the highway close
To the tread of the sweeping throng;
It bore the gaze of a hundred eyes
Where burned the flame of wrong.
And one came by who tore its heart
With a ruthless hand and strong.
It caught no glimpse of a garden fair,
It knew no other name
For a world that used and bruised it so
Than a world of sin and shame,
And hopeless, crushed, its spirit passed
As tUs eveuing shadows came.
And who can say but the sheltered one
A sullied flower had been
Had its home been out on the highway, close
To the path of shame and sin,
And the other forever angel white tr-
Had it blossomed safe within?

Less than one
cent a copy ! And for
that you get all the
local news, truthfully
reported and carefully
written up.
Besides all the
local news, the Tri
bune gives the news
of the world in a con
densed form.
Thus the busy
workman can keep in
formed as to what is
going on in the world
without buying any
other paper.
The Tribune is
essentially a newspa
per for the home cir
cle. You can read it
yourself and then turn
it over to your chil
dren without fear of
putting anything ob
jectionable into their
hands.
Order It
from
The Carriers
or
from
Tlie Office.
