The armament of the torpedo boat

engagements for using the Whitehead
torpedo. To repel boarding she will
carry four one-pounders, rapid-aring

in her power to reach a point close

a significant fact that it was Gov. Nc
Kinley who called them out-Detroit

How is this? Some weeks ago
Mr.. Harrison was telling the young
men Of California not to seek Office. but
to let the Office seek them, Perhaps
different conditions prevail in Indians

There is a repu blican chorus To
the effect that as congress is sure to
pass q tariff bill of some sort, the
sooner it is done the better. AS an adj
mission that the sooner the Mckinley
law is repealed the better for the coun-
try, it brings the republicans up TO
where the democrats have been for
over three years-St Louis Republic
-Republican protection organs
which q few months ago wers proclaim
ing that the troubles of the country
were due solely to uncertainty about
the tariff are now insisting that indeh-
mite delay in acting upon the tariff bill
can do no harm, and are demanding
that the republicans in the senate do
all they can to prolong that delay
Louisville Courier-JournaL
--When the Mckinney act was
passed with its five cents 3 dozeE duty
on eggs, the armer was told by repub-
lican campaign speakers that he would
now receive 8 greater price than ever
before for the eggs he brought to
market and that the price would be
maintained. Instead of the five cents
tariff keeping up the price of eggs the
price is lower to-day than it was at any
time before the Mckinley bill became
a law.-Owego Gazette.

is provided with steam steering gear,
with patent enunciators and an mean

derfully perfect
The work on this boat was COM
menced nearly three years ago, it be-
ing the first experience of the Iowa
iron works, whose managers have
worked In some particulars under a
great disadvantage. Added to this
came the strike at Homestead, from
whence much of the material in the
construction of the boat was re-
ceived. A srrlke at home also delayed
the work, and for some months during
the past winter nothing whatever
was done, but the little craft Is now
nearing completion. The finishing
touches are being put on both hull and
machinery, and it is expected that in
a few days she will be ready to slide
into the Mississippi

her trip to the sea, which promises to
be not only interesting to those navi-

CHAPTER XIII
THE NEW PRODIGAL.

1t was an evening of early Septem-
Der that the first shadow fell upon my
pleasant existence at this home. Mr.:
Bostock's habit was to retire early.
This night he had chosen to remain
up, and was sitting in his easy chair
upon the veranda. Coralie was at the
piano; sat on the upper step, listen
ing to the laughter and banjo-strum-
ming from the negro quarters. LIE
Fevre sat lower down, smoking, en-

deep-drawn, troubled sigh.

said. what makes him come here to
annoy me? 1 don't want to see him."
You hear, do you?" LIE Fevre said.
