From the New York journal.
For the benefit of those persons who
look with surprise upon the Canton
cique's plans for a high protection
tariff, as revealed by the Diugloy pro-
cecdings in Washington. there should
be an explanation. Such persons recall
the facts that the Mckinley campaign
was made on the money issue. and that
the Republican leaders caused it to be
understood there would be DO post
victory sacrifices to the mill BOSSES. and
they incline to wonder why. since victory
was won. there has been no Republican
discussion of how the financial system
might be improved. They also awi-
wardly ask why all this trouble 80 please
the tariff seekers.
These myopc persons should be i'm
formed that while Mr.. Hanna devoted
his attention last summer to the money
question. it was the manufacturers who
answered it to his satisfaction and to
Major McKinlcy's election. The quos-
tion was, "IIow much?' and they replied
in such way that there was nothing
left to be desired by llannas inqUiring
spirit. The persons interested in main
tanning the present monetary standard,
true to their habits Of thought, did not
allow themselves to become notorious
for liberalty.
Now the fight is over and victory has
perched upon the cupola at Canton, and
the rewards Of merit and yalor are about
to be distributed. Why should the
money brokers and bond syndicateS
expect to head the line? Why shouldn't
the mill bosses have the first chance at

not quickly enough to avoid discov-
cry. On he goes, fearlessly taking the
Bainbridge straight toward the battle
ships.
"Stand by" he sings out down the
voice-tuhes to the torpedo compart-
mcnts, and back comes the hearty an

Now he is but short distance from
the nearest ship. He turns two electric
switches and sees the torpedo guns
elevated and trained. Then amid
shower of shells he presses a firing-key,
and the forward torpedo is launched
and speeds on it's srrand of destruction.
10 need to watch the effect; the mag
net is as sure as fate.
Meantime, the Bainbridge's course is
changed, so that she may run parallel
to the column of battle ships, and the
empty gun is lowered. A second later
the after torpedo is on its way for The
next battle ship, aud Delatield has done
half his work.
Long ere this the brave little craft has
been the center of a smother of foaming
water lashed into impotent fury by the
crashing, bursting shells. Put her
great speed saves her from annihlation.
She tears along with search-lights fash

full ships sent to the bottom complete
her errand. The only damage on the
Bainbridge has happened to Delafeld
himself. \ piece of shell has inflicted
an ugly wound in his shoulder. and
though exhausted by the intense strain
and weak from loss of blood, he steers
his victorious vessel into the protection
of the harbor, then falls senseless to the
deck.
Not long after, while recovering his
strength, Jack received a very official
looking document covered with formid-
able seals. 1t contained the iuforma-
tion that he had received the thanks of
congress and that he had been promot-
ed TO the rank OF captain for his gallant
ry in sinking four of the enemy's ships,
thereby causing a withdrawal of their
feet and preventing the hombardment

Shortly the enemy was uncovered aac
monitors opened fire, compelling an
abandonment of the harassing pursuit.
The enemy remained just cut of range
while the fearful wreck of what re
mained of Admiral Woodbrdge's force
crawled slowly into the harbor.
As the Oregon, guarding the rear,
pasa,d the Bainbrdge, the admiral
signaled briefly, but significantly: DO
your duty"
The night is dark and windy. An
uminous stiffness in the air presages an
on-coming gale. No moon or stars are
shining to aid the enemy, but instead
the sky is covered with hard, leaden-
gray clouds, and n low bank of fog is

Delafield prepares for his dash. He
takes the cambridge close inshore
through Bonita channel, and barely es-
capes being caught by one of the enc
my's gunboats, but, turning on more
current. he rushes silently ahead and
clear of danger. When almost within
hearing of the breakers on Duxbury
reef, he makes a wide detour in order
to approach from seaward, for from
this direction an attack is hardly to be
expected. Nevertheless, he has to po

favorable position.
lie reaches his station at 11:15 o'clock,
and in another quarter of an hour the
monitors will open fire toward that
flank of the enemy opposite to which
is Delafeld. They will keep up this
cannonade for ten minutes. to effect 4
diversion. AS soon as this firing has
ceased, Jacks work will begin.
Boom! bang! go the great ten-inch
and twelve-nch guns. 1t is a trying
time for Jack, but he sees the effect of
the ruse, and is again congratuIating
himself on his luck. The search-lights
are all playing inshore of him, the ene-
my entirely oblivious of the fact that
danger is lurking in their rear. Half
past eleven! AS suddenly as it began,
the firing ceases, and Delafield, taking
his stand in the little coming tower,
orders the crew to their stations.
Slowly the Bainbridge starts ahead,
then faster and faster she goes, until,
fairly flying, she brings into view the
weaker vessels forming the outer line.
But Jack disdains such pigmy prey.

Russian peasants are emigrating to
Siberia in numbers that alarm the gov
ermnment. The part of the Siberian
railroad opened has been blocked by
the rush, l3,O00persons being cncamped
at Tchelyabursk in the middle of May,
waiting for transportation. So far this
year l45,C00 have emigrated, whole viii
lages being left without inhabitants,
to the great embarrassment of the ell
der, who is responsible Cor the pay
ment of taxes, and finds only deserted
farms on which to levy. Plentiful,
cheap land is the attraction in Siberia.
1t is reported that the government will
stop the banishing of criminals to Si-
IBERIA. and will use only the island of
Saghalicn, the northern provinces and
the prison districts as receptaeIes fer
