tween the pilot and the captain the ships
company had crowded aft in both gang
ways, and, like the officers, were intense
" anxious TO hear what the news might
be. What Deliver had said so emphatic
alIv had reached their ears, and had
touched their hearts. Tears started from
eyes that were not accustomed TO weeping,
and coursed down the cheeks of those
bronzed old heroes. IL could be seen that
a firm resolve TO stick Loyalty to the old
flag that had hoated in honor over their
lives and fortunes had gone deep into
their souls, for almost Immediately every
eve was turned upward toward the peak,
where the old flag was floating peacefully
and majestically, and intuitiyely every
head was uncovered in homage.
1t was an experience never to be for
gotten, and the sight of those bronzed old
heroes. with heads uncovered to the dear
old flag, taught my young heart in rev
moments a whole volume of patriotism.
I had been born in a slave-holding State,
and had been reared surrounded by col
ored children, and was influenced 10 some
extent by the prejudices which the institu-
ton of slavery had engendered, but when
il became necessary to decide off Boston
harbor whether the love of state was to
be superior to the love of country, and
my pride in its glories and in Its history,
there was no trouble after the sight l
had witnessed when Pilot Deliver came
aboard.
An Impressive Scene.
Reaching Boston harbor in the midst of
deep excitement and deeper feelings among
those holding opposite views, number
of our officers decided to abandon the
cause Of the union for that of the confed-
eracy then established. Those who were
loyal were merely required to subscribe
anew to their oath of allegiance. After
carefully examining this new document it
was not difficult to renew my allegiance
at a moment when so many were aban-
doning our cause The scene off the high
lands when Deliver came on board had
craven its impression too surely upon my
heart. Those uncovered heads, those tear
full eyes, those loving, loyal looks of the
faithful old bronzed faces, who had known
no other love and who were too old then
to begin anew, had fashioned my young
fancles too, and after had renewed my
allegiance in the cabin of the dear Old
commodore, looked up and found had
done so standing directly under a scuttle
leading to the poop deck, and directly un-
der the folds of the old flag as 1t was
gracefully unfolding itself to a light breeze
all the more dear to me now after the ex-
posures we have undergone and the perils
of service TO which our lives have been
devoted in helping others TO uphold IL the
world over, for those of our land who in
their time and turn are to follow us in
holding fast to the teachings of our ia
Tiers, and, like them TO preserve the in
hertance of this blessed land Of liberty for
those to follow them.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-Whether
Dewey, acting for the United States
Government, formally or informally rec
ognized the Philippine Republic at Ma
Mia, is a question which Pettigrew OF
South Dakota desires the Navy Depart
ment to answer. He introduced a res
olution to-day directing the Secretary
of the Navy to supply the Senate with
information on the subject but Chand-
Ter of New Hampshire objected to its
immediate consideration.
Following this objection PettigreW
and Chandler had sharp tilt over the

day, demanding from the Secretary Of
War an investigation of certain charges
against General Merriam in his conduct

INDUSTRIAL INQUIRY.
John r. Dospassos Before the Ma
tioual Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-John D.
Dospassos of New York. author of
works on international law, appeared
before the Industrial Commission to-
day. He said that he represented no
interest. He commended the Commits
sion of Inquiry as a proper one, and
suggested that a similar committee
should have been appointed to inquire
into the railroad business before the
passage of the interstate commerce
law. This statute he pronounced the
most remarkable legislation ever en-
acted"
From this point Mr.. Dopassos passed
into general condemnation of useless
and injurious legislation, saying that
it would be to the advantage of the
country If all the laws enacted in the
United States since 1S4S were destroy
ed. He contended that there had never
been any monopolies in this country,
unless in the case of patent rights.
There was no monopoly in the present
aggregations Of capital. These COM
binations were the natural and neces-
sary result of existing conditions. Mr..
Dospassos asserted that the natural
laws of commerce were an effectual
barrier against monopoly. He asserted
that it had been found impossible to
effectually corner any real staple.

Pettigrew of South Dakota then Of

That the Secretary of the Navy be
and he is hereby directed to inform
the Senate whether the flag of the Phil
ippine Republic was carried by vessels
in the bay of Manila, and whether the
flag Of the Philippine Republic was ever
saluted by Admiral Dewey or any OF
the vessels of his fleet at any time since
May /, 1898. Were Spanish prisoners
delivered over to the Philippine forces
at the time of the surrender at Sublg
Bay? Did a vessel commanded by the
forces under Aguinaldo, flying the Phil
ippine flag, accompany the vessels Con-
cord and Raleigh back to Subig Bay
in June, 1898, in order to compel the
surrender of the Spanish forces?"
Pettigrew asked for immediate con-
sideration of the resolution, but Chand-
Ter objected, and it went over until to-
morrow.

lating to the trouble in the Occur

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-There Is
such great pressure for time on the
part of the members of both sides who
desire to participate in the currency
debate in the House that night sessions
were ordered to-day. Interest in the
debate is not keen, judged by the at
tendance in the galleries, although the
members themselves are listening at
tentively to the speeches.
Only one Democrat thus far has
spoken in favor of the bill, briggs OF
New York, who announced that he had
pledged himself before election to sup
port the gold standard, and proposed to
redeem that pledge. He will be joined
by several of his Brooklyn colleagues,
and probably several others.
The features of the debate to-day
were the speeches of Grosvenor of Ohio
for the BILL and Cochran of Missouri
and Newlands of Nevada against it.
The other speakers were Parker of
New Jersey, William Alden Smith OF
Michigan, Prince of Illinois, Lawrence
of Massachusetts and Powers of Yer
mont for the bill, and Shafroth of Col
orado and Sims of Tennessee against it.
Grosvenor of Ohio was the first speak
er to-day. In opening he said he hao
hoped the Democrats would meet the
issue prompted by the pending BILL but
they were here with the same old stale
battle cry Of '16 to IL
Coming back to the platform declara-
ton of 1896, Grosvenor produced a poll
of the members of the Committee on
Resolutions of the ST. Louis Conven-
ton to show that an overwhelming
majority favored a gold declaration be-
fore the convention met. The only
controversy since had been as to who
was responsible for certain verbal
phrases.

WATERS OF THE RIO GRANDE.
Suit of the Government to Prevent
Construction Of n Dam.

LAS CRUCES IN. M, Dec. 1.-THE
case of the Federal Government against
the Rio Grande Dam and Construction
Company came up for trial to-day be-
fore Judge Parker in the Third District
Territorial Court The Government
seeks to prevent the construction Of
the proposed Elephant Butte dam,
which is intended for irrigation pur
poses.
The United States Supreme Court has
decided that the General Government
has control of all navigable streams to
their sources, and the question at is
sue in this trial is whether the con-
struction of the proposed dam will i'm
pair the navigability of the Rio Grande
River in Mexico. The Government of
Mexico has already presented to the
Government Of the United States a
claim for $2O,OO0,O0O damages, on the
ground that it is deprived of the rise
of water which it formerly had, in con-
sequence of the large number of bitches
drawing water from the upper portion
Of the Rio Grande.

FRANKFORT (Ky.), Dec. 12.-Will-

ernor to-day. The crowd was much
smaller than in past years, due to a
December blizzard. The inaugural
ceremonies were simple. Retiring Gov
ernor Bradley, in his speech, said that
he hoped that the Goebel election law,
which has brought so much turmoil to
the State, would be wiped from the
statute books.
Governor-elect Taylor, in his inaugur-
al address, said:
1.-The verdict rendered by the people
last November was the mandate of the
people in favor of civil liberty. It was
the triumph of the people over the
merciless, remorseless partisan machine
erected to enslave them
He said one of the chief aims of his
administration would be to secure the
repeal of the election law
