nARRisoN,s NEXT MESSAGE.
He VIII Favor Force Bill, But Has
Not Commenced Writing.

WASHINGTON. D. O., Oct. 16.-President
Harrison has not vet begun work on his
message, nor will he do so until after the
Sd of November. One reason is that he
wants to see how the elections turn ont be-
fore he formulates his recommendations
about the tariff and the silver question. If,
for example, Mckinley carries Ohio by a
large majority the President would lay en-
phasis on the Mckinney end of the McKin-
ley BILL if he should be defeated he would
lay emphasis on the Blaine end of that
measure--in either event claiming credit
for himself and his administration In con-
nection with it.
The only thing beyond the usual review
Of the work of the departments upon which
the President seems TO have absolutely de-
termined is another recommendation for
the resurrection of the Force bill.
The other reason why he delays the
preparation of his message is his uncer-
iainty as to Blaine's condition and Blaine's
return. The Secretary of State is the only
member of the cabinet who makes no an
nual report. Instead, he usually prepares
the opening paragraphs Of the Presidents
annual message relating to foreign affairs
Until the President knows definitely
whether Blaine can or cannot nominally
or actually perform this customary office
he cannot well prepare the first part OF his
message.

KANSAS CITY, oct 17.-It is believed that
rainmaker Melbourne, has played trick
on the local signal service observers, who
are much mystiiied over a rain which fell
here yesterday morning. The indications
for the past three days have been clear
and warmer. At o o'clock there was not a
cloud to be seen anywhere, but at ESQ it
was pouring down rain with heavy wind
and thunder. AT it was again clear and
from local causes and there was nothingto
indicate it. 1t is now asserted that the
rain was due entirely to the efforts of
Melbourne the rainmaker, who as it is
alleged has been working secretly here for
the past three days, and whose work was
crowned with success.

SPIRITED NAVAL EnG4 G EMENT.
Old Lishtship No. II Offers Gallant
Resistance.


Baltimore Sun.
The art Of war at sea received q notable
contribution on Friday last when the ships
of our famous squadron of evolution, the
Chicago, Newark and Vesuyius steamed
out from New London, Conn, to attack
and sink with their great guns the old
lightship "Relicf No. H. The engage
ment deserves the attention of marine
strateests by reason of the novelty and
the completeness Of its result. Relief No.
IL was, 1t is true ut d slight disadvantage
in being anchored and without guns or
crew, while the squadron could steam to
and fro and fire at leisure. 1t was at a
further disadvantage in being built of
wood, while its assailants were constructed
ofsteel andarmed with modern hreechload-
ingguns of American manufacture, believed
to be the best, IN the world. Apart from
the heavy ordinance of the squadron there
were the secondary batteries of rapid-fire
guns, to say nothing of the mobile tor
pedo which each of our gallant ships could
fire from the bow and stern. 1t speaks
volumes for the staying-power Of Relief
No. II that she made the fight she did,
though compelled at last, of course, to sue
cumb to the audacious intelligence of the
gallant American tar.
The attacking squadron began the action
at distance of 1,500 yards, each ship
steaming along at a speed of four knots
and firing as it went, now with its port
battery and then with its starboard guns
The Chicago first advanced to the fray, and
fired Is shots from its terrible high-powe-
eight-inch breech-loaders. none Of which
struck. Most Of its destructive missiles fell
short. and those that went far enough
failed to disturb the equinimity of the
rodents aboard the relief. Next came the
Newark and fired "a shots. One of the "a
hit, but without material injury to the
hostile craft The Chicago, returning to the
fray, belched forth flame and shot, aud
then retired again to give place to the
Newark. And so each in turn fought des-
perately till each had thrice emptied its
great guns. But when the smoke cleared
away the Relief was still there. OF the
Chicago's missiles but two or three had hit
and of the Newarll's six. The last shell of
the Newark. however, had set fire to the
lightship. TO take advantage of the cir
cumstance, the secondary batteries of both
war ships were then cast loose and the Re
lief was riddled. Still she did not sink and
she had not yet sunk at 0 p. M, when the
Vcsuvius and Chicago retreated, leaving the
Newark to continue the fight. Here it was
that the pluck and originality of the
American seamen displayed itself. Having
fired many rounds from the secondary
battery in vain, the gallant tars got into a
rowboat and made fast service torpedo
to the stern post of the Relief. In the cx-
plosion that followed the doomed ship
was rent into athousand pieces The lesson
is obvious. A torpedo fastened TO your
enemy's stern-post insures his utter de

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH. Oct. If.--About
midnight last night the boiler of the

and William Biggs, deck hands, and Julius
Flint, fireman. Five others were severely
scalded.
The boiler tore its way from the bottom
of the hold, carrying everything away
forward and above. The pecuniary loss Is
about $4,000; no insurance. The Evangel
has quite a history, she having received
her name from the object for which she
was built. The vessel was intended for a
missionary society and collections were
taken throughout the east for the purpose
of raising funds. It was the intention to
keep her in the mission field, among this,
then sparsely settled district of Puget
Sound. She did not continue in this work
long but was soon chartered as freight
