TUB DREARIER AND THE TOILER, JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY. I am tired of planning and toiling In the crowded hives of men ; Heart-weary of building and spoiling, And spoiling and building again. And I long for the dear old river. Where I dreamed my youth away s or a dreamer lives forever, - And a toiler dies in a day. fam sick of the showy seeming Of a life that is half a lie, Of the faces lined with scheming In the throng that hurries by. From the sleepless thoughts' endeavor I would go where the childrenHplay x or a areamer lives rorever. And a thinker dies in a day. I can feel no pride, but pity - For the burdens the rich endure; -' "There is nothing sweet in the city, But the patient lives of the poor. Oh, the little hands too skillful, The child-mind choked with weeds ; The daughter's heart grown willful, , And the father's heart that bleeds. No, no; from the street's rude bustle From trophies from mart and stage, I would fly to the wood's low rustle And the meadow's kindly page. Let us dream as of yore by the river, And be loved for the dream always For the dreamer lives forever, But the toiler dies in a day.

Wake Forest College trustees are discussing the advisability of reducing the tuition fee from $30 a term to $10. In case this is done, all students, min isters as well as others, will be re quired to pay. Such a system will, it is said, bring into the college as much revenue as it gets now from tuition fees. A reward of $200 is offered by the State for the arrest of Ed Lowery, who killed Tucker Dial, in Burnt Swamp township, Robeson county, on May 5. .

There are now seventeen persons in the smallpox hospital here, and the same number in the house of deten tion, making thirty-four in all. They will all be released next week. Every foreign corporation doing business in North Carolina after June 1st, without having first complied with the provisions of the Craig bill, will be subject to a penalty of $200 a day, to be sued for in Wake Superior Court State Treasurer Worth says he will enforce the" provision of the law. It is this provision of the bill and the State Treasurer's determina tion to enforce it that is causing so great uneasiness among insurance men. So far only five life companies have come in, but three other companies have signified their intention of doing so. Corporation Commission.

The Arrival of the Ex-Spanish Warship at the Norfolk Navy YardA Noisy Reception. By Telegraph to the Mernlng Star. Norfolk, ' Va.; May 27. Amidst the booming of cannon and the screaming of steam ' whistles from tugs, Bay steamers and ocean liners, the captured Spanish cruiser. Reina Mercedes arrived in port this after noon, and accompanying her was a flotilla of thirty-six.tugs, all profusely decorated in flags. Cannon saluted as she was towed through the harbor, and tugboats kept their whistles in an almost continuous scream from the time she rounded Lambert's Point un til the navy yard was reached. It was a perfect din as noisy a welcome as could possibly be desired. Thousands of people' witnessed the procession through the harbor, they being all along the water front on both sides- of the river and upon housetops. She was given a tumultuous welcome as she came up the harbor. A wealth of flags and bunting were flying from the escort. Every craft tied down the whistle lever, and there was a babel of siren notes. The Mer cedes was saluted by every passing steamer and she acknowledged each greeting with a blast of her whistles. The vessel carries on her deck a small engine used for pumping out her bilges, and to this has been attached a whistle made out of six-inch shells. The monitor Amphitrite is laying off Hospital Point, and when the trophy came by the United States jackies swarmed loose three cheers which cnuld he plainly heard on both shores, which Were lined with tVl mianna nf nula from surrounding cities and States. oiowiy . tne procession moved up to the navv vard. where nrA tVm mnnifn Terror and Puritan; cruiser San Fran Cisco, training ships Essex and Alliance, besides other war vessels, and the crews aboard gave three mighty cheers as the Mercedes was towed Up.

Officers Were in Readiness to Receive Arms and Pay the Soldiers. CljBAN OFFICERS AMUSED. Scheme of Payment Looks Like a Failure in Havana Different Results Ex pected in the Country Districts. The Cause of Failure. By Cable to the Horning Star. Havana, May 27, 11 A. M. Not a soldier thus far has appeared at La Punta to receive the honorarium of $75 allotted by the United States for the surrender of arms and the dis bandment of the men composing the Cuban army. At three minutes of ten this morn ing, the hour set to begin the payment of the troops, Major Francis S Dodge, of the paymaster's department, drove up in a four mule team with 130,000 in gold and $9,000 in silver. Six guards accompnaied him and details of men from the Eighth infantry are un der arms to preserve order among the mobs which it was supposed would gather. General George M. Randall, of the Eighth infantry, was .present as commissioner of the United States. General Ruis Rivera, who was to day inducted into the office of Civil Governor of Havana, was there to re ceive the arms, with, a representative of General Gomez, four or live Cuban officers and fifteen reporters. Half a dozen American clerks, with the rolls of the Cuban army, sat at a long table at the headquarters of the Eighth regi ment A bag of gold was displayed. dui mere were no applicants for a share of it. No Soldiers Appeared. . The spectators spent the time in dis cussing why no Cubans appeared General Rivera said that though there were 4,219 enrolled privates and non commissioned officers in the Fourth corps, few of them lived in Havana. He explained that they were outside the city and would probably appear at otner places in me province and get their apportionment. Nearly all the officers, he added, are in Havana. The representative of Gomez, who has been acting with the latter in the interviews with Governor General Brooke, took a gloomy view of the affair. He said the Americans had made a mistake in stipulating that the Cubans must give up their arms, as this had caused a bad impression among tne uubans. A group of Cuban officers, who proved to be some of Gen. Mayia Koanguez s stair, had in the mean while assembled. Thev smiled at each other. , twisted their moustaches and grew confident as the Quarter hours passed and no soldiers ap peared. Finally they jeered in a quiet way at tne wnoie proceeding. Towards 11 o'clock an unarmed colored man in a Cuban uniform came across the dusty square, attended by all the American spectators. He was shown the paymaster, but turned out to be an "assistant" or camn follower. The American military men consulted togetner, as it was thought he was not entitled to a share of the 13.000.- 000, and his name not being on the rolls he was dismissed. It Looks Like a Failure. Major Scott, General Ludlow's ad jutant, sent word that a man . named Harris, a Cuban-American "servmcr a sentence in the penitentiary, would be sent under guard to get his 175, so at least one man was sure to take the gratuity. About four hundred men had been expected and possibly many of these will come later. But the scheme of payment, so far as Havana is concerned, looks like a failure Quite different results are expected in the country districts, where the Cuban military assembly and anti-Gomez in fluence is not as strong. At noon General Rivera left, re marking that it was wastiner his time to stay there, and Major Dodge went to the trocha to inform Governor Gen eral Brooke of the state of affairs. Four professed privates appeared at about 11.30 without arms, but as their names werenot on the "rolls they were not paid. SAGUA LA GRADDE. PROVINCE OF Santa Clara, May 27. The generals of the Cubans in this district met here yesterday, adopted anti-Gomez resolu tions, agreed to disband their com mands and to cause their arms to be surrendered to the Alcaldes, but to accept no money for them. U. S. Officials Disappointed. Washington. Mav 27. General Brqoke made no report to-day to the war Department upon the reported non-success of the effort -to induce Cuban soldiers in Havana to lay down their arms and accept the gratuity pro vided for them. The officials are greatly disappointed, but feel that they nave done all that in. fairness could be expected of them, and if the remain ing Cuban soldiers are of the same mind as those in Havana, the govern ment will not long delay a withdrawal of the offer. " The suspicion is erowiner, here that while the leaders of the opposition to the policy of the United States in this matter do not contemplate a fool hardy attempt at insurrection they are trying to retain the Cuban army in or ganization and within their call, so that they may dominate the affairs of the island by force, if need be, when the United States forces are withdrawn and the independence of the island is acknowledged. Another explanation offered is that the existence of a large Cuban army has been exaggerated. STEAMER PARIS. Another Attempt to Float the Vessel Failed Little Hope of Saving Her. By Cable to the Horning star. Falmouth, May 27. Another su preme effort to float the Paris was made this evening, but resulted in failure. Six tugs were made fast to the steamer, hawsers and anchors were put out astern, the chains from which were attached to the steam winches on the stranded steamship. The propellers of me fans were driven at full steam astern, but the efforts were unavail ing. After an hour's straining the main hawser broke, and the task was abandoned until tn.mAnn n.: The hope of floating the Paris is grow ing faint. - . . . IN THE Wilmington Savings and Trust. Co.

Operations of the Artillery in His' Com mand Near Manila From -February 4th to February 15th. By Telegraph to tna momlne Star. Washington, May 127; Next in the series of reports of the operations near Manila which the War Depart ment is making public In .connection with that of Major General MacAr- thuf. -is that of Major Richard W.' Young, of the famous Utah Light Ar tillery., Major Young's report is accompa nied by reports from his subordinate officers, Captain and Brevet Major F. A. Grant, Captain E. A. Wedgewood, First Lieutenant George A. Gibbs and Second Lieutenants George A. Sea man, A. S. Flemming and W. C. Webb. All of these are in a large part purely technical and eive detailed ac counts of the various movements made by the component parts of this organi zation, which appears to have partici patea at an important point in every engagement which has taken place in Luzon. In his report," which tells the sury oi me operations irom e eoruary 4tn 10 u eDruary lotn, Major xoung, aiier aescrioing tne advance on ualoo can, says: x am satisfied, mat no troops during the advance have per formed more" dangerous service than the detachment under Lieutenant Sea man in their perilous progress up the uaioocan road : too miucn, therefore. in my judgment, cannot oe said in praiso of their intrepidity and fffi ciency." Major Young also mentions the good work of two guns of the Sixth artillery, under Lieut. A. S. Fleminer. who were assigned to his division in this action. He says: "During the advance on Caloocan this platoon did very accurate and effective work un der a heavy small arm fire from the enemy." He also speaks of Grant's and Critch low's guns, which took part in the movement.as follows: "Extremely ac curate work was done ; one tif the best snots of tne campaign was at a oartv throwing up earthworks at the ceme tery gate, the left side of the erate be ing destroyed at an estimated range of z,ouu yaros oy tne nrst sneil. Bhrap nel fire proved to be very efficacious. at a range of 2.000 yards, in driving a party wnicn advanced fearlessly from tne rignt to take a nanking party un der command of Major Bell, U. S. V engineers." - I A compliment is also paid to Weds-e wood's battery, the men of. which drag ged tneir guns on the night of Feb ruary 4th for three miles without as sistance, and, driving the enemy back in great numbers, payed the way for the infantry advance. These guns were served under a neavy cross fire, tne cannoneers naving little or no pro tection. Webb's two guns are de scribed as silencing the enemy's fire in almost every instance over san arc o nearly 180 degrees. The two Norden- felts, under Lieutenant Gibbs, are said to nave been bandied with skill and emciency. In one case the euns were brought down at double time on a 500 yards slope in the face of a heavy fire. xnis was in open view, ot tne enemv under close range and was one of the boldest and most commendable acts of the campaign, says Major Young. In conclusion he says: " "I desire to commend most heartily and without distinction the officers and men in the organization under i my command The amount of labor done by them in dragging guns and constructing earth works has been prodigious and it has always been done cheerfully. All have been fearless. Compelled to ad vance along open roads, usually in plain view of the enemy, without the opportunity of concealment, they nave unsnrinxingiy served their guns It has, too, been a feature of these operations that in every advance the guns have gene forward practically on tne line of skirmishers. Their will ingness to work and their intrepidity have not been more conspicuous than the skill with which they have handled their guns and their accuracy of .aim THE PEACE CONFERENCE. The U. S.
