poet, singer and actor. is dead at his
home in Upton He had almost at

thirty years ago was familiar in most
households as that of a poet, singer

as the author of that beautiful song,
Horne Again. Mr.. Pike was the au-

for him a wide reputation, and famous
as an organizer.
He was born in WestborOUgh, May

he organized the band Of Henry VIII

Especial Correspondence

Washington, Feb 14-Rufus Fleming,
United SeaEes consul at Edinburgh.
Scotland, has just furnished the state
department statement showing that
The metal trades in Great Britain have
recently shown a marked decline. Mr..
Fleming later on in his report states
thai this depression is somewhat due
to the large impOrtatOns OF cCaI from
the United States. In treating this mat
ter in a general way, Mr.. Fleming says
that since Jan. 1, 1850, the metal Grades
IN Scotland have experienced a re

Terence in the condition OF those trades

year would be 70 contrast enormous
activity and practical stagnatiOn- The
decline was not q feature Of the entire
year-indeed, prices reached the high
est point in April-but chiefly of TIE
last six months, the reaction being
specially marked in December
The course of prices is instructive, al
though it does not tell the whole story.

ship plates, from $685. to SS2.S6; tin
plates, per box, from $3.50 to $3.16- Since
the middle of December last, there has
been a further depression of prices all
around on light orders, although stocks
are low in most lines. On Jan. 4 Scotch
warrants were $3.50.
America and Germany Compete.
American and German competition
became sharply manifest early last
summer but not until autumn did the
affairs OF American iron and steel at
reduced prices come upon the market
with crushing effect. What made the
difficulty worse for The British prOduc-
ers was that Germany, having bought
largely from America in the spring and
summer. became alarmed and TeSOld
IN Scotland at reduced figures, and also
placed finished iron and steel on this
market in competition with American
manufacturers. The result now seen

Admiral Dewey Says
He FaVOrS Strongly
Holland Submarine Boats

to Delaware and Chesapeake bays"
Hampton Roads % asked a member
OF the committee.
Yes That would be the entrance
of the Chesapeake bay. Hampton
Roads, that means the entrance. That
is where Chesapeake bay should be de-
Tended, at the capes of Virginia-Capes
Charles and Henry. All Of our ports
should be equipped with them-NeW
Orleans, OF course; Galveston, that is
one of our great ports; San Francisco,
OF course, and the entrance to Puget
sound" answered Admiral Dewey.
Thinks Boats Are Needed.
Mr.. Cummings then asked: Con
sideTing the moderate cost of the i'm
proved Holland torpedo boat, with its
increased speed, its ease of handling
and its torpedo efficiency, and the fact
that only five men are required to man
and operate each boat, would you not
say that the interests of the govern
ment, through the providing of such
defenSeS for our great seaports, viii
be advanced by the prompt cOnstruc-
ton of such boats for that service?"
Certainly, I would" was the admi
raFs answer.
IF twenty of the improved Holland
torpedo boats can be purchased for the
cost OF one battleship and constructed
in One-fOurth of the time, would you
not deem 1t wise to make. immediate
provision for the purchase and distri-
button of that number of said boats
along our coasts?"
Il would" replied the admiral
Mention any other points that may
occur TO you as the result of your oh
servation of the performances of this
boat, asked Mr.. Cummings.
We'll" said the admiral. It think I
have covered that in what have said:
that from what / saw my own belief
is that I could not, with my squadron,
fifteen ships if the enemy had had two
of those boats with determined men on
board, have held that bay. 1t would
have worn US out. We would have had
to be under way and never knew when
the blow was going to strike. The hu-
man frame would not have stood it. I
think so, now, as I said before. OF
course, submarine means with tOrpe-
does. Torpedo boats-surface boats
don't give much for those. -
No Chance to Destroy Them.
What chance, admiral would you
have had for destroying these boats ?''
asked one of the members of the com
mittee.
That would have been the trouble. -
answered Admiral Dewey. Il hadn't a
vessel that could have got into Pasie
river, and they would have come out
at night and we would not have seen
them. They would have had that op-
portunity and taken a dark night. and
we would not have seen them until they
were close to US, and my experience is
that you fire very badly in those con-
dltions-I mean aim badly. And the
| chances are not very good. She only
came to the surface for a moment"
How long?"
only ten seconds. You could moi
train your guns on them. 1 think, in
the interests of peace-and that is what
we all want-it would be money vel
spent, remarked the admiral, in con.
Guiding his testimony.
