five Federal vessels lay just across the
main channel-the thirty gun sloop
Cumberland and the fifty gun frigate
Congress at Newport News, and six
miles east, off Fortress Monroe, the
forty gun frigates Minnesota and Ro-
anoke and the fifty gun frigate St.
Lawrence. These were all wooden
ships, and only the day before, in an
ticipation of a raid by the much be-
lauded Merrimac, had been ordered to
make all haste into the Potomac river
for safety.

instantly knocked into the sea.
While the Merrimac was fast under
the guns on shore the Congress slip
ped her cable and moved into shOal
water close under the friendly bat
teries. The Merrimac finally got free
and steamed up close enough to land
some shots in her. The sailors imme-
diately ran out white flags, but the
colors still floated at the mast.
A Confederate tug steamed up to-
ward the Congress, but General Mans.
field, the Federal commander on shore,
ordered his ritlemen to fire upon her
for fear the guns of the Congress
would be turned upon his batteries.
The tug was driven off by this fire,
and the heavy guns continued pound
ing the ram. At this Admiral Buchan-
an, believing that some of the missiles
flying over the ram came from the
Congress, ordered the helpless frigate
to be riddled with incendiary shells.
She was soon ablaze, and the surviv-
Ors of the crew saved themselves by
jumping into the water. Two southern
officers lost their lives while working
to rescue the wounded sailors of the
burning ship.
One man killed and twenty wounded
were the battle casualties on the ram.
Two guns had lost their muzzles, the
smokestack was gone, likewise one
anchor; but the monster was a mon
ster still. Eight guns and their crews
were in fighting trim, and at dark she
went back to her mornings to prepare

Sans wooden feet next day.

Vermont's Modest Hero.

The articles in the Saturday Eve
ning's Post on ga Woman's Wash
ington, ," by a ga Congressman's
Wife," are exceptionally interest
ing. The following is taken from
one of the most recent of these arti-
c1es:
''Did you meet Captain Clark, of
the Oregon, at the capitol the other
j day, Slocum?' asked the senator.
No, was tied up in matter and
missed him. said Robert.
We'll, Proctor and Dillingham;
had him in tow in the marble room,
and half the senate was there to be
introduced to him and to shake him
by the hand. He was positively
embarrassed and b1ushed like a girl
when any one said a word of praise.
Of course, the two C1arks of the sem
ate-Clark, of Montana, and Clark,
of Wyoming-were among the
crowd, and the latter said to the
captain:
F." The C1arks must stand togeth
er, captain.
'Clark replied simply: 4 hope I
may always be credit to the fami
1y. "
''For my part" said I, 81 hope
congress will do something for Cap
tain Clark. I wish, Senator P,
that you would suggest to the senate
that it should pattern itself in this
matter of Captain Clark after the
apostles in the Bib1e.''
How is that?' asked he, puzzled.
why, we never hear of anything
but resolutions in congress, and in
the Bible we never hear of resolu
tions among the apostles; we always
hear of the acts of the apostles.
Now, I should suggest that we hear
of the acts of congress in regard to
this gallant captain
4 will certainly borrow that sug-
gestion and work it off, laughed the
senator.

8 SO 90 90 SO SO 90

copyright, 1902, by g. L. Kllmer.1
Y N order to economize in time as
BE well as in money the protector of
the first iron ram fished the sunk
en- hull of the United States war
frigate Merrimac from the bottom Of
Elizabeth river. The conversion of the
wooden frigate into an ironclad steam
ram began by cutting the old hull down
to within three feet of the water line
Both ends for several feet back were
decked over level so that the weight
of the superstructure and armament
would keep them below water, or
awash, as the sailors say. In the mid
die section, or about one-half of the
ship, sloping roof was laid of pitch
pine and oak timbers twenty-four
inches thick. This roof extended from
the water line at an angle of 80 de-
grees to a point seven feet above the
gun deck. At the ends of the vessel
this timber shield was rounded so as to
give the bow and stern guns wide
sweep in firing.
Over the timber shield of the ram
was riveted an armor of iron plating
in two layers and four inches thick. In
motor power the old hulk was weak.
Her engines had been condemned as
worn out even before they passed
through the fire which destroyed the
frigate, and they afterward lay for
weeks submerged in salt water.
But at her worst the Merrimac, or
Virginia, as she was rechristened, was
the best fighting machine afoat in
southern waters that spring morning
when she slipped from her ways, took
a sousing If rather ungraceful plunge
and righted herself with an air that
seemed to convey to the model men-of-
war of the world the saucy challeng-
ing salute: II am here! Haul down
your colors!"
Nothing was lacking to make the
Merrimac a most terrible floating bat
terry. She carried a Z inch rife each
in bow and stern and three 8 inch
smoothbores in each broadside. Last,
but not least, for that was the main
purpose Of this unique creation, came
the ram, or beak, a cast iron PROV,
projecting four feet from the bow, and
when in action so completely sub
merged as to be out Of sight of the enc
my and cut below the water line in
striking.
All the heavy armor of the ship
was intended simply to shield men, en-
gines, machinery and cannon while the
vessel should be fighting her way to-
ward an enemy to give a finishing
thrust with that terrible beak, which
weighed 1900 pounds When the Mer-

Tribute to ]. c. Houghton.

Vice-President Joseph A. DeBoer,
of the National Life Insurance Com
pany of Montpelier, has issued cir
cular to the agents of the company
announcing the death of President
James C. Houghton. He says that
the steamship Commonwealth, bring
ing the body, is scheduled to arrive
at Boston Monday, March II, and
that notice of the funeral cannot be
issued until later.
A sketch of Mr.. Houghton's life
is concluded with this feeling trib-
ute to his memory:
The essential characteristics of
James c. Houghton were absolute
honesty, a faculty for constant work,
fidelity to every trust and a certain
charming personality, which, coup
led with many acts of kindness,
brought and held him the friend
ship of men. No one in the COM
munity where he lived and did his
work, enjoyed larger measure of
spect and no mans death could
bring to those who knew him best a
more sincere sense of personal loss.
While he discharged innumerab1e
services for his banks, his town, it's
schools and all it's other forms of ed
uCationa1 and moral life, to say
nothing of recurring private trusts,
it was essentially as a director and
officer of the National Life Insur-
ance Co., that he gave his largest
and most conspicuous service. The
burden of his thought and work was
placed there and it is not wholly in
correct to suppose that in some de-
contributed to his comparatively
early death. 1t is impossible for
us under this sudden and heavy
blow to properly inventory our feel
ings and make true estimate of the
man whom we have so intimately
known as an associate and so sim
cerely respected as an officer and
man. He left us but yesterday for
the seas in search of we'll earned
rest. The seas return him back to
his home and his native shores to
rest forever, leaving us the memory
of a good, strong, faithful and noble
life spent in the service of his race.

SMASHING THE
WOODEN FLEET
March 5. 1862

Founders of the Congress rolled harm
lessly from the plated shield of the
ram, which passed the frigate and NOV
ed slowly toward the Cumberland to
At position to ram. She kept well out
u the way of broadsides for a time,
but at last the Cumberland's pivot rifle
and forward guns bore on the target.
A duel of fifteen minutes at 300 yards
followed, and the shots of the ram cut
the wooden war sloop with frightful eff
feet. The tide was slack, with no wind,
and the Cumberland was a still target
for the steam ram. Entire guns crews
were annihilated by single shots.
At the end of fifteen minutes firing
the Merrimac headed for the Cumber-
land, striking her ponderous beak up
on the wooden bow. The sloop imme-
diately began to sink and carried the
ram down with her until the iron beak
which coupled the antagonists broke
off. AS the ram backed away she
stood motionless for some time under
the broadsides of the Cumberland, and
the heroic sailors of the sloop, although
they knew their ship was doomed,
poured shots upon the Merrimac at
close quarters till she fairly reeled I'M
der the blows on her plating.
Not shot broke through the armor
of the ram. The Cumberland contin-
ued sinking, and the commander of the

the gallant Morris. "We'll sink along
side" AS the water rose the crew climb
ed higher and continued working the
guns until at last their muZzles were
in the water. The man who fired the
last shot as deathknell was mortally
wounded in the act and one of eighty
killed in that short fight. The flag
was flying from the staff as the old
ship rested on the bottom, with her
rigging above the tide.
After finishing the1 Cumberland the
Merrimac turned to the frigate Con-
gress, which could only be reached by

VI the most active members of the opposition
mas called on Speaker Henderson and assured
MN that the opposition was not directed in any
manner against the House leadership or the
speaker Mr. Smith said that those conducting
Cne opposition had the highest regard for the
speaker and for the Ways and Means Commit
tee and that the present movement is due solely
to an earnest conviction against a reduction of
tariff duties.
Mr.. Smith also called on Secretary Shaw to-
DAY and presented to him means by which, in
MT Smiths judgment relief could be given TO
cuba by action of the Treasury without re-
course to tariff reduction. Mr.. Smith pointed
out that under the recent Brussels agreement
the cartel system would continue another year
He proposed, therefore, that under Section ;
OF the DlngIey act q cOUnterVailing duty be i'm
posed by the Treasury against sugar under the
cartel system. the same is imposed
against bounty sugar. 1t urged in support
OF this plan that il would give greater relief to
Cuban sugar than any action Congress could
take. Mr. Smith also said that India had held the
cartel to be SINH; the bounty system. and
had imposed a countervailing duty on both alike
Secretary Shaw took the suggestion under
sideration.
Both elements in the Cuban reciprocity con-
troversy were active about the House of Rep
resentatives to-day. perfecting their cacvasses
and holding consultations. Representative

Washington. March 1o-Since the announcement
that the Brussels conference which all the beet
sugar producing countries of Europe were repre-
sented had decided do away with all govern
ment bounties intended for export the
sugar interests of this country have brought proi-
nently to public notice the cartel system in vogue
in Germany. by which. il is alleged bounty in
addition to that directly paid by the government is
given TO the sugar exporter. BY this system sugar
is sold to the exporter at less figure than il is
furnished for domestic consumption the purpos4
being to keep the domestic price steady and one
yielding a fair profit by selling the surplus a.
lower rate in order 10 compete with the sugars OF
other countries in the markets of the world The

ference with Secretary Shaw at the Urea surv De
