sALuTINe MOUNT VERNON.
A Ceremony Observed on All United
States War Vessels.

A Ceremony Observed on All United
States War Vessels.
A naval officer describes in the
Youths Companion how the United
States dispatch-boat Dolphin saluted
Mount Vernon:
The navigator. looking up from his
observation Of the chart. turned to-
ward the captain. who was gazing fix
eddy through his binoculars, trying to
make out or, to make use of the nau-
teal term. to pick up" a buoy which
the ship was nearing.
Mount Vernon is just ahead, sir" he
said.
Very well, call all hands to quar-
ters," was the reply.
Sound to quarters. sir" This to the
officer of the deck from the navigator.
Aye, aye, sir Bugler, sound to
quarters! rung out the voice of the
young officer who then had the deck.
He was but lately graduated from the
Naval Academy, and the hardships of
sea life had not yet roughened the
youthful freshness of his voice.
A moments pause, and the assembly
call rung out over the silent current of
the river and echoed back from the
heights above its banks. The white
pillars of Washington's beautiful home
flashed out through the deep green of
the trees high up above the ship, as
the officers and men. hurrying from all
parts Of the vessel, ranged themselves
at their quarters.
Form on the port side, facing out
board!' came the sharp order from the
bridge, and later. Sound attention.
The bugle again broke the stiffness.
The Dolphin was now abreast of the
historic home of the first chief magis-
trate of the country; all hands were
lined up along the port side of the ship,
standing at attention and facing the
shore. AS the order, "Saluter' came
sharply cut and abrupt from the bridge,
the right hand of every officer and man
was raised to his cap, and remained
there while the ships bell rung out
twenty-one slow, solemn strokes, one
for each gun of a national salute.
The venerable mansion. with the
white pillars of its porch like giant
sentinels on guard, looked down from
the heights through framework of ma
jestic trees to the river below. AS an
old gray bearded patriarch receives the
homage of youth, so this dignifed
monument to the first head of the gov
eminent seemed to receive the passing
salute of the representative of the gov
eminent of to-day.
With the last stroke of the bell came
the order, Sound the retreatp'
The bugle answered, and as the last
note came back from the shore, Mount
Vernon disappeared behind the green
of the trees.
Every vessel Of war of the United
States passing the home of Washing
ton observes this impressive ceremony.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-The sugar
interests of the country have heard
with Joy that there is to be no tariff
tinkering during the coming session
Of Congress. President Roosevelt,
after comforting with the leaders of
his party from all sections of the
country. has finally decided that the
time is not yet ripe for changes in
the tariff system, through direct tar
III legislation, at least. There still
remains. of course, the possibility of
reciprocity at some time or another,
but even that system Of reducing
the tariff will not be put into effect
during the wear that is ahead of US.
The reason for this decision is that
the business of the country is boom
ing as it never doomed before. am
Just back from a bit of trip into
the Middle West. Everywhere trains
are late and traffic blocked from the
glut of freight that is being offered
for transportation. The like of it
never was seen before, even during
the enormous boom that the country
experienced last winter. They do
not call it boom. Nobody is trying
to boom business. The business sim
ply is rolling up under a steady and
healthy demand.
with these things in his mind the
President has decided to leave the
! tariff evidently alone for the time be
ing. There will be presented TO Con-
gress during the session a measure
for reducing the internal revenue tax

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-President
Roosevelt has had several important
conferences lately with members of
Congress who are interested in the
Nicaraguan Canal. As these letters
have told. there has been talk dur

sible construction of the Panama
canal That talk will be stopped for

dent and Congress will proceed upon
the correct assumption that the Mic
