FIGHT LASTED
FOR TWO HOURS
THE MOVEMENT WAS MADE

ATTACK.
HAD LIVELY BOMBARDMENT
Admiral Higeinson and His Fleet Put
Out to Open Sea Sunday and
Soon Met With a
Battle.
HAD LIVELY BOMBARDMENT

Woods Hole, Mass, Sept 1.-Ad-
miral Higginson's fleet was captured
off Block island this afternoon. after
two hours of bombardment.
The movement was made while the
army was expecting an attack on the
New York
Sleeping on Their Guns.
Last night when taps sounded at
all the forts nearly five thousand artil-
lerymen went to sleep beside their
guns ready to spring up for action
when the alarm should be sounded.
On the walls of Notifications paced
guards, and along the beaches sharp
eyed signalmen swept the sea with
their night glasses, feverishly anxious
lest the light of a hostile war vessel
be taken for That of a friendly mer-
chant craft. On sea the fleet had been
swallowed up in darkness, anu it w
be heard from next when 1t makes a
descent upon the coast within the
AOllC VI HOotllibiCo- IHcFS adiS nearly
5000 afoat, and it may be. that Ad-
miral Higgnson will endeavor TO land
his marines at some exposed point of
the shore defenses and attempt to cap
ture it before making his attack in an
effort to enforce an entrance to Buz-
yards or Narragansett bay, or Long
Island sound or even to silence some
one of the big forts.
The army claims TO be ready for
lanything which may develop, but anti
cipating an early landing party from
the feet at Gay Head, the signal sta
tion there was moved to higher ground
to avoid being rushed by marines. To
cripple the army's line of communica-
tiOn may be AumiraI Higginson's
/ first thought in order to use his mar
ines. The first point of attack is look

volunteer artillerymen, but there may
only occur a reconnaissance by the
gunboats, whlIe the great battlesnips
swing into action to the westward.
and by skillful maneuvering, theore-
tically, hammer the fortifications to
mass OF ruins with their ponderous
turret rifles. Like chess masters, it
is Admiral Higginson's turn.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Liquor Dealers Barred and Will Be
ousted if Found in the Order,

In reply to an inquiry directed to
Edward L. Hearn, supreme knight of
the knights of Columbus. regarding
certain proceedings of the recent con-
vention of the order, Mr.. Hearn writes
the Catholic Citizen as follows:
Replying, l would say that the clip
ping which you enclosed was in error
when it stated that the knights of Co
lumbus declined to enter into the Fed
Grafton of Catholic societies. The mat
ter did not come properly before the
convention for action, and, consequent
ly, the convention could take no action
in the matter.
The attitude of the Knights of Co
lumbus towards liquor dealers is this:
In 1895 certain laws were promulgated
debarring liquor dealers from member
ship in the order. either insured or as
sOciate 1t is unbeatable that since
that date men have gained admittance
into the order who are engaged in the
liquor business, or have entered said
business since their entry into the or
der. 1t is the purpose of the officers
OF the knights of Columbus to cancel
the membership of every person who is
found to be a member contrary to the
laws of the order

invention, and ne declared that by it
ores that contain but 1 per cent of
copper can be smelted at a profit
The present cost is about cents per

and very little water will be necessary.

of its utility.
A company of capitalists has secured

j. Sterling Morton.

his family and friends, will leave Lake
Forest Tuesday afternoon for Nebraska
City. Death was due to cerebral
thrombuS.
The illness of Secretary Morton dates
from last November, when he contract
ed a severe cold while speaking at the
stock show in Chicago. The cold ran
into an attack of la grippe and Mr..
Morton was in a hospital for some
time. When he was able to do so, he
returned to his home in this city,
where he suffered a relapse. After a
partial recovery he left early in March
for the City of Mexico, accompanied
by his son, Paul Morton, vice presi-
dent of the Santa Fe railway. Mr..
Morton continued to grow worse in the
southern country, however, and six
weeks ago he returned to his old home
in Nebraska He then came to Chi
cago, where it was believed he would
have better medical attention After
he arrived here he improved somewhat
and it was believed for a time that he
would entirely recover from his all
ment Last week he suffered a stroke
of apoplexy, from which he never re-
covered He suffered second stroke
today, and he had become so weak
from his long sickness that it proved
fatal His three sons, Paul Morton,
JOY Morton and Mark Morton, were at
the bedside when the end came.
Judus Sterling Morton was in Wash
ington for four years as secretary of
agriculture in President Cleveland's
second administration. He was a man
of steadfast convictions answering
honesty and undoubted ability.
BY nature a controversialist, Mr..
IL, a..
fixed ideas about the government serv-
ice. He was a practical farmer and
ran his department along practical
lines. but, nevertheless, not without
many squabbles. He regarded the dis
tribution of seeds as paternalistic, and
on that subject found himself in oppo-
sition to congress.
The ex-secretary was the author of
Arbor day, April %, which began to be
observed generally during his incum-
bency as head of the department of
agriculture, and which is now general
ly observed in all the states.
His constant motto was PLANT
trees" and these words he had stamped
in large letters under a picture of a
tree on his stationery. He was an
inveterate letter writer. He found keen
enjoyment in answering the commune
cations from farmers, and it was no
unusual occurrence for him to call
newspaper men into his office to read
the answers he was writing to farm
ers, often giving out portions of them
for publication.
The ex-secretary was 30 years old
today. this having been the anniver
sary of his birthday. He was of
Scotch English descent. He was born
in jefferson county, New York, his
parents moving to Michigan when he
was very young. He was graduate
of Union college, New York

for time with the Detroit Free Press
and the Chicago Times and then To-
Gated at Belleville, Neb., in November.

issued the first number of the Nebraska

ANACONDA.
Foreman j. P. WEIGH Honored BY
His Friends

Anaconda. April 23.-J. P. WEIGH, who
for the past two years has occupied a
position as foreman of the machine de-
partment at the Washoe Smelters, was
last night the recipient of a very flat
terlng testimonial of the esteem in
which he is held by the men with whom
he has been associated in the shape
of 5000 diamond ring.
The occasion for the gift was the res
lgnation of Mr.. WEIGH, who leaves to-
day for Salt Lake City. 1t was pre-
sented at a farewell banquet held in
his honor at the A O. II. hall last
night, at which his friends and associ-
ates were present to the number of
about 200. H. H. Smith, who act
ed as chairman, called the meeting
TO order.
After number of vocal and instru-
mental musical selections had been
rendered Joseph Russell stepped on the
stage where Mr.. Welch occupied seat
with a number of others, and in few
well-chosen words, expressive of the
sentiment of the meeting, presented
him with the ring.
I'VE beg of you to accept it," said
he, "as a token Of our esteem and as
recognition and appreciation OF the
kindly treatment we have received at
your hands during the past two years
This stone was not selected on account
of its size or beauty, but because it re
sembled your character. 1t is without
blemish or flaw. 1t is our sincere
wish that your future may be bright
your happiness lasting. and that your
good deeds may shine among men,
even as the sparkle of this gem, which
we now present to you.
Mr.. Welch. who was expecting moth
ing of the sort, would not have been
more surprised if he had just awak-
ened from rip Van Wrinkle" sleep.
In a few words he expressed his ap-
probation of the gift, but his voice
grew husky and he could not proceed.
1t was easy to see why his men look
upon him as brother, manly man,
yet wearing his heart upon his sleeve.
