coined by both north and south. Well
coined by the north because of the in

said:
Il am thoroughly in sympathy with
the movement that is now apparent on
the part of churches to assume an intel

TWO HISTORIC SHOTS.
They Will Always Be Identified
with Our National Life.
One Wasfhc Cannon Shot Which Ran4
Out from MOultrie, the Other
the Pistol Shot That Killed
Abraham Lincoln.
Especial Washington Letter.]


Great men and great events pass be-
fore us SO rapidly in kaleidoscope re-
view, like the moving pictures of q
kinetoscope, that men of modern
times must needs read rapidly, think
quickly and act with celebrity in
order to keep pace with the acts and
scenes in the drama of human life.
There was a cannon shot fired from
Fort Moultrie at Fort Sumter in the
early days of 1861 which changed the
destinies of this republic. 1t rever-
berated throughout the world. The
men and women who were heads OF
families then have nearly all gone to
that bourne whence no traveller e er re-
turns. All readers of history know OF
it, but there was another cannon shot
fired from battery beneath Palmet-
to flag, some weeks earlier, of which
few people have heard or read. 1t was
fired at vessel called the Star of the
West, as it was bringing supplies to
Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor.
That shot did not precipitate civil war,
for there were commissioners and COM
mittees selected and appointed after
wards to avert war between the
states. But the shot which was fired at
the flag waving over Fort Sumter
caused an internecine struggle OF four
years duration.
The men and women born between
the years 1861 and 1865 have no personal
recollections of the tragic daily occur
rences of those years. To-day they are
the leaders and managers in the fore
front of affairs. They read of the civil
war as they read of the Mexican war,
the war of 1912 and the war of the revo-
luton; wars in which they took no
part, directly or indirectly. True, there
were boys and young men then, who are
fathers and grandfathers now, who tell
to families and friends incidents of
those days, thereby making more vivid
their reading of history. But the stall
wart men of to-day and the mothers of
the rising generation have no personal
knowledge of those events. The writer
is one of the mere boys of 81 who has
personal recOllections of the trials and
triumphs Of those days.
The people of the north and of the
south eagerly bought the daily papers.
not merely to see which side. had won
in battle, but to see whether "our
John" or ''our JIM or others of our
families had fallen beneath the leaden
and iron hail which the contending
forces were hnrling against each other.
We suffered not only the joys of victory
or the SORROWS Of defeat, but in every
home and at every hearthstone there
was father, a mother, a brother or a
sister reading of loved ones who were
"dying to-nigh. on the old camp
ground" far from the reach of loving
hands, writhing hearts and loving lips.
Yes, the shot which rang out from
Moultrie rang around the world and
convulsed this nation. It was followed

the purpose of clearing out the rebels
in that section. 1t shows that the
movement was great success and that
the enemy's loss was considerably

patches. General Otis cablegram is as

News OF the Latest Battle a Surprise to
Washington Ohoials.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The news Of
the heavy fighting almost in sight of
Manila and adjacent to the yards at Ca
vite where Admiral Dewey landed his
forces more than year ago was re-
ceived with intense interest here. It is
evident to the officials that the insur-
gents either are stronger than had been
realized or that they have come to the
end of their course and are making
their last stand. Otherwise it is hard
to understand why they should come
down to the shore of the bay and fight
the warships. Adjutant General Cor
bin steadfastly maintained his conf
dence in the success of the present
movement in Luzon, and said that he
felt encouraged at the advices from
Otis that
Lawton Had Driven the Enemy
with heavy loss and that the latter
could not be reassembled in force. Still
there is great concern exhibited over
the conditions that confront the Amer
ican troops in this campaign and there
was renewal of the inquiry as to
whether or not there is to be further re-
enforcement Of the troops or another
call for volunteers. The statement was
made in reply to this that Otis has, or
soon will have. all the men he asked
for, and the opinion of General Otis in
these matters, it can be said, will deter
mine the policy Of the president in the
matter.
The immediate danger is past. By
most strenuous efforts the enemy has
been driven back. In doing so many
more men were Frustrated by heat than
by their wounds, although the casual
ties were quite numerous.

Fourteenth Infmtry Makes Gallant
Charge ON the Filipino Trenches.
MANILA. June 14.--8:15 q. m.-Before
dark the Fourteenth infantry swan the
Zapote river, charged and carried the
trenches, a heavy fusilade of artillery
preparing the way, and covering the
crossing. The insurgents broke for tho
woods before the Fourteenth reached
them. Almost the same time the Ninth
and the Twelfth crossed bar of the
sea and came upon their left flank, at
a point where body of marines with
Maxim guns landed under the protec-
tion of the ships batteries and fred
upon the enemy's left rear, with de-
moralizing effect The Twenty-first
crossed the river by bridge as soon asit
was mended. Sixty-fve dead Filipinos
were found in the trenches. most of them
shot through the head. Several 5-inch
smooth bore guns were captnred, with
ammunition marked "U. S. Navy
Yard" After crossing the river the
troops were withdrawn, with the ex-
ception of the Ninth and Twenty-frst,
these regiments being left with four
guns to guard the bridge. As they were
being formed into companies, the in.
surgents commenced to fire volleys from
the bamboo jungle, 300 yards away.
The regiments formed into line coolly,
though under fire, and rushed to the
woods, driving the enemy mile away,
the Filipinos disputing every foot. The
Fourteenth encamped across the river,
the men caring for many of the Filipi-
nos wounded. Eight prisoners were
captured. The majority of the Fill
pinos wore red uniforms.

Surrounding Cities Respond Promptly to
the Appeal for Help.
AS soon as the news of the New Rich
mond disaster had reached the outside
world offers Of help and help itself be-
gan to come into the city. St. Paul, be-
ing the railroad center to which New
Richmond was tributary, was the first
to learn of the storm and its attendant
woes, and within two or three hours
the first relief train was started with
physicians, nurses, hospital supplies and
commissary stores for tho people of the
stricken city. A second and third
train soon followed and speedily neigh
boring cities in Wisconsin sent in all
they could gather for their ncody sister
city. The Omaha and the Wisconsin
Central roads promptly carried through
all the supplies and delivered them to
relief headquarters, whence they were
delivered to The people of the city.
Hundreds of morbidly curious people
from neighboring cities tironged the
ruined town all day and crowded about
those whose hearts had been wrung
with all anguish too great for words.

MADISON. Wis, June 14-The execu-

Wisconsin were early advised of the
New Richmond disaster, and acted as
promptly and effectually as the urgent
necessities Of the situation demanded.
Governor Scofeld at once appealed to
the public by proclamation for aid and
ordered the adjutant general to the
scene. Later II company of the national
guard was ordered to New Richmond
to aid the detachment of St. Paul police
officers i'll preserving order and to give
all possible aid to the suffering. AS
soon as Governor Scofeld received q
message from New Richmond which
confirmed the reports of
DeatA-Dealing Cyclone,
arrangements were Immediately made
for sending representatives from the
state to the scene. A conference be-
tween the governor, Major Doyon,
Mayor Hoven and several leading citi-
zens was held, and while the mayor
and citizens arranged to secure supplies
and money i'll the city the governor and
Major Doyon mapped out a plan of
action on the part of the state.
Adjutant General Boardman, who
was at Oshkosh, was ordered to New

tents, provisions and financial aid are
needed. General Boardman will join

BUSINESS SECTION GONE.

The Tornado's Path Was Through the
Main Streets of tho City.
: The business portion of New Rich
mond covered a space of four squares
each way and was solidly built of brick
and stone. This entire space was swept
clear, foundation walls, and in some
places masses of debris, alone marking
where the business places formerly
stood. Trees that had lined the streets
of the neighboring residence districts
were broken clear off or twisted and up
rooted. The tornado came up the Will
low river from Hudson, where the dam
age was comparatively slight, follow
ing the general course of the river and
the branch of the Omaha road. The
storm gained in intensity as it pro-
gressed and was at its worst when it
struck the business center of New Rich
mond. Outlying residences in the path
of the storm were

a prosperous, peaceful city Of $500 peo-

veritable city Of desolation. A circus
was in town on Monday and people had
come in from all the surrounding coun-
try to see the show. After the circus
the people had crowded into the city to
do their shopping before going home in
the evening. It was at this time the
storm cloud came up from the south
west, bringing death and destruction in
its path. The circus grounds were out

Jctrrles Defeats Fttxsimmons In Eleven
Rounds of Wh;riw!nd Fighting.


4 NEW YORK, June l0.-James J. jeff
ties, another sturdy Young giant, has
come out frola the West to whip cham
pion pugilists.
I. At the arena of the Coney Island
Athletic club he defeated Robert Fitz-
simmons, worlds champion in two
Observation-Disclosures and heavyweight
in II rounds Of whirlwind fighting.
He came to the ring rank outsider
and left it tho acknowledged master of
the man he defeated. He was never at
any time in serious danger and after
tho sizeup in tho early rounds of the
contest took the lead. He had the Aus.
tralian whipped from the ninth round.
1t was acknowledged that Jeffries
would have an immense advantage in
weight, height and age, but the thou
sands who tipped and backed his op-
ponent to win were sure that he was
slow and that he would In that respect
be absolutely at the mercy of the past
master at the science of fighting that he
was too meet. He proved on the con-
trary that he was just as fast as the
man he met and beat him down to un-
conscious defeat in fair fight. He is
veritable Giant In Stature
and marvelously speedy for his i'm
nense size. AT "a he has defeated Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons, Tom Sharkey and
Peter jackson, and if he cares for him
self he will probably be able to success
fully defend the title for many years.
The defeated man was just as good as
when OH that crisry morning on the
plains of far away Nevada he lowered
the colors Of the then peerless Corbett.
He was js:su US active, just as clever,
just as tricky and just as fearless of
punishment. Jeffries fought from q
crouching attitude that was hard to get
at. He showed an excellent defense
and the ability to use both hands with
skill. He is game, too, for he never
shrank from his punishment. 1t was
great fight to watch and commenced
and ended amid scenes of intense ex-
element. It was all very dramatic.
The men fought before u crowd of
1900 persons and stood up in great
