they fail to force the Regulars to

some one else.
Unless the Democrats should
make a remarkable showing on the
last two days of the registration
this year, they will havelittle chance
of making much show in the cleo
ton. At the present time the Dem
ocrats are outnumbered three to
one on the registration figures. This
is remarkable for the rea son that
the registration is usually heavier
in August than any other time.
The reason for this is that in order
to vote at any of the primary cleo
tions in this county it is necessary
to register on one of the three days
in August.
The time for doing this has expired
and still the Democrats are outnum-
bered three to one.

.harbor, but the desired vantage point
was never reached.
When his boats had arrived off Mag
nolia, they were sighted by the signal
station ON Bakers island. A message
was sent to the station at Rockport,
and the torpedo port Barney was sent
out to notify the blue squadron. The
station here had before this been in
formed Vat Higginson's battleships
had been sighted off Gloucester and
that later they had returned to their
berths under the lee Of Thatcher's is
land. The Barney's commander was
mystitied, therefore, when after round
ing Straitsmouth he saw no evidence
of the presence of the Kearsargc. On
a hazard the Barney was steered
southerly. After Hgsinson's ships had
cruised up and down the coast they
went to their anchorage off Thsctch-
er's island.
At this time the officer on the deck
of the Kearsnrge was Lieutenant Ray
Stone, with Midshifman William Dill
worth Puleston rs the junior officer in
command. In contrast to others the
morning was clear and star bright.
On the bridge dozen iackies stood
on the lookout. One of these was
Daniel S;achle, an apprentice of the
first class. He stood well forward,
pcering on the lee side. The flagship
was just falling down into trough
when lie notified the ensign at his
side tkdt he could see the enemy"
The officer of the deck called Flag
Lieutenant Evans and Flag Secretary
Bistol. and it was but the work of
moment to inform Admiral Higgin-
son of the proha bility that the time
for decisive action was at hand.
1t was real war then. General quar-
tiers were sounded. There was quick
rush of many feet, the manning Of
hundred posts, the clank of the an
Choir chain, the ringing of bells, the
giving of orders and general clear
Ing for action. Not many moments
passed before the flagship was under
way steaming at fourteen knots, with
the Alabama and Massachusetts many
lengths in the rear. Some distance
back was the Barney, rapidly over
hauling the ships ahead.
At $40 a. IN. the three battleships,
aided by the converted yacht Scorpion,
which had chased in from the south
in time to be in at the finish. and the
Barney, which had overtaken the feet,
formed a horseshoe about the white
squadron. The e!ation among the men
on board the blue squadron ran high.
There was something pathetic in the
picture when Commander pillsbNry,
after he had signaleu his surrender,
passed in his barge from the Prairie,
walked I'D the starb"ard gnngway Of
the Kearsarec and offered lis sword to
Admiral Higginson.
Keep your sword. Sir" said the
senior officer, his vote" Guaverlng
bit in spite OF himself. Il would not
accept the sword from SO gallant a
foc.'
