THE MONITOR PURITAN.
Most Formidable Vessel In the World
In Smooth Water.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The monitor
Terror is lying in Hampton Roads and,
it is said at the navy department. that
she has no orders as yet. The impress
sion is that she viii remain in that
place, which is one of great strategic
value in case of need. at least until the
monitor Puritan is ready to take her
place. The Puritan is almost as big as
the Terror. being a 6.0e0-tOn vessel
very little less than the Maine in size.
She carries Pinch guns in her tur-
rcts. against 10-inch guns for the Ter
ror. and is altogether the most formid-
able douDle-turreted monitor in the
world in smooth water. This qualihca-
ton does not mean that she is unable
to keep the sea, but only that from her
great breadth and light draft she is so

ROOSEVELT IN CHARGE.
Secretary Long Gone Away For a
Few Days Rest.


Washington, Feb. 25.-Secretary Long
has been under a heavy and almost con-
slant strain ever since he was awak-
ened in the middle of the night a week
ago last Tuesday by the news of the
loss of the Maine, and now that mat
ters are, at least for the present, in a
quieter state, he has gone away for a
few days rest, leaving Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt to manage the navy
department The latter has been thor
oughly advised at every step of the sec
retary's policy of the treatment of the
Maine affair, so that there is not likely
10 be any change in thai respect caused
by the temporary assumption of the
duties of secretary by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Just before the department closed he
had word of the sailing of the cruiser
Montgomery from Tampa for Key
West. Up to that time the vessel had
been given no orders, so that the date
Of her departure for Havana, if she is
to go at all, is conjectural The ship
went TO Tampa instead of Key West on
her return from San Domingo, in order
to facilitate the speedy return to his
duties in Washington of Captain
Crowninshield, the chief of the naviga-
ton bureau, who saved a full day by
the movement.

foundation OF case. in the event it
should be decided to resort to that
method OF settlement.
There are a large number of presidents
which wnl aid the authorities in shaping

Senator Teller.

Senator Teller spoke to n crowd
ed house in the Broadway Opera
house Tuesday night. Many were
unable to find seats and stood up
IN hour and half and listened at
tentivcly to what Mr.. Teller had
to say. He took the silver issue
for his text and reviewed his labors
in behalf of the restoration of sil-
yer to free coinage since his advent
into the United States senate %
years ago.
Coming down to tho present
campaign he showed clearly that
the silver republican organization
had been captured by the McKin-
ley republicans about the time of
holding the state convention and
that the action of himself and Con-
grcssman Shafroth saved the silver
republican party, or Il large por-
ton of it, from being completely
swallowed up by the Wolcott ma
chine. And that branch of the
silver republican party known as
the Broad republicans, are but
wolves in sleeps clothing: their
every act bellies their professions.
The senator admonishcd his hear
crs not to be deceived. that there
was but one fusion silver ticket.
that put up by the populists, the
Blood silver republicans, and the
democrats, and that the fusion of
the Mckinley republicans and the
Broad republicans meant no good
to the cause of silver.
Senator Teller was frequently V
interrupted by applause and his
eXpositions of the true situation
will do the silver cause much good.
