Alabama and Kearsarge.
ON the New Orlea6 Picayune.


The completion and addition to the navy
at about the same time of two monster
battle ships possessing such historic names
should not be overlooked. Although Ii Is
true that the Alabama Is so named as a
compliment to the state of Alabama. 1t will
be difficult to dissociate In the public mind
all connection between her position on the
navy list and the memory Of that former
Alabama, which won great place In his
tory which can never be effaced. The COM
bat off Cherbourg between the former
Kearsarge and the confederate cruiser Ala
bama was one Of the most memorable naval
fights of modern times. Brave American
seamen fought both ships. and the gallan-
try Of both crews 10 now the heritage of the
united American people Winslow In the
Kearsarge sailed forth to fight cruiser
made famous by her achievements in every
sea, and his victory naturally enthused the
people of his part of the country Semmes
In the Alabama fought his ship until she
was sinking under his feet and, throwing
his sword into the sea, escaped to the pro-
lection Of a neutral flag. These are memo.
ries calculated to nthuse American sailors
and to urge them TO deeds of Hike valor. 1t
will be impossible not to recall these memo
ries with two ships bearing such historic
names in the same squadron.

Some Difficulties and Perils That
Beset Such q Trip.


Beset Such q Trip.
From the Century.
The I-Chang gorge cuts straight west
ward for five or six miles. and then turns
at right angle northward, an arrowy
reach between gray. purple and yellowed
limestone walls overhung with the richest
vegetation. Tiny orchards and orange
groves are niched between the buttresses Of
these stored strata walls, and cling to ter
races; quarres and lime kilns show, and
mud houses are left behind. stone huts and
houses being cheaper beside the quarry
than the waffle and dab Of the plains.
Brown junks foated in midstream, and
junks with square and butterfly and striped
sails were dwarfed at the foot of the cliffs.
All day our crackers strained at the braid
ed bamboo ropes, crawling up and down
and over rocks where bamboo hawsers have

Ing 1t on from any projections and wading
out to release 1t from hidden snags. Where
foothold was wanting the crackers scram-
bled on board and rowed around the OBJ
stacle or across stream to tracking ground
again.
Their whole performance was the bur-
lesque of navigation. the climax OF stupidi-
ties. and nothing ingenious or practical
seems to have resulted from the three
thousand years of 'sw1ft-water" naviga-
ton on the upper Yangtse. The ridiculous

When the District delegation returning

Brigade Band as escort to the winning
teams. An invitation was extended to
other organizations of the Guard to partici
